I booked an appointment with Paul & I am truly pleased with the result. I had a previous nose & ear piercing that never quite healed from an out of state piercing location. I was in pain & so uncomfortable since last July. Coming to TTBP I felt very accommodated & felt I was cared for. Paul informed me about what weβre the probable issues concerning the pain I was experiencing - helix hoop earring was too tight, the nose piercing was done on the cartilage part of the nostril which that is a big no no. (I waited for my nose piercing to completely close off before getting my nose re-pierced) Paul helped by loosening the hoop on my ear & he re-pierced my nose on a non-cartilage area. Before leaving, I was given a business card with home care instructions. I have to say the expertise on piercing was really on point! I highly recommend this place & I am sure to come back for more piercings & even new tats! ππ½ Also, the decor in this place & the cleanliness is π― !!!

The owner of the business is anti-choice and anti-womens autonomy I would definitely not trust him with your body.

Got my cartilage pierced by Paul and he was ABSOLUTELY incredible. He is willing to help at any time. I got my cartilage pierced and then I got an at Large Bid to the NCAAS and (obvi) had to take them out. He was so creative and we figured it out so that my cartilage didn't close up and I didn't have to get them re pierced! He also has a great personality and I would trust him for ANY sort of piercing that I would want.

Amazing artists and atmosphere. Artists work with you to get your perfect image. They have a soft touch as well, so it's a win win. Great art, great prices, no pain

I want to THANK Jesse for stepping up and taking care of a bad tattoo done by a very unprofessional former tattoo artist that is no longer there (thank god). The former employee of TT failed to take responsibility for her mistakes and had every excuse in the book to not want to fix it OR to charge us additionally to repair the bad work. Jesse really took care of us and my daughter left super happy. Thank you so much and you Jesse were a pleasure to work with and I applaud TT and the owners for their response to our complaint.

I went here to get my navel pierced and I honestly do not recommend getting your navel pierced here. The service that I got was great but the piercing that they pierced me with was not the correct jewelry. They gave me a hoop ring not the curved bar because supposedly βthe hoop will make it heal fasterβ that was a lie, It made the healing process worse because the hoop would move constantly left to right...and they didnβt warn me that it would cause problems with my body type. When I went back to switch out the hoop to a normal navel bar, he told me that it wasnβt healed, yet he still took off the hoop which made my hole close, so he had to re pierce my navel, which was so painful. To be honest they need to refresh their knowledge about navel piercings and the equipment because that was a waste of $40. I donβt mean to leave a bad review but you guys have to change something. For Starters give more navel jewelry options.

I got my belly button pierced here by the owner, super nice and super clean. It healed great, I would definately recommend coming here over any other place. Might be getting my nose done soon.
