Piercing went well, but aftercare info was not good.
The place was clean and seemed like proper techniques were being followed. Stef did my nose piercing. She explained the process to me both before and during, which was helpful. The piercing process itself seemed professional, but her info on "aftercare" was lacking in my opinion.
She explained the aftercare info just before she did the piercing. I was very nervous so honestly I couldn't listen closely. After she finished I asked her to explain it again and she seemed to be rushing me out the door and said "just read the paper I gave you."
I called to speak with her like an hour later to clarify instructions and again she seemed to be rushing me off the phone.
On top of that, some of the aftercare methods she told me to use are directly contradicted by the Association of Piercing Professionals website.

I went to get my tragus pierced with my friend. I asked if the area was to small and if it would reject and she said no it wouldn't. She sat there in convinced me that it would be perfect n not reject, Even when I didn't want to she kept on insisting that it would look perfect n it wouldn't reject. For one she used way too big of a needle. The Gauge was way too big and definitely rejected. She then did my friends and it immediately infected. My friend contacted the shop, they told her to just take it out. Not sure if it was unsanitary or what but her ear was 5 times bigger the next day mine was not it just rejected. She also did my nose piercings the Gauge for that was way too big. It should have been a lot smaller. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE LETTING SOMEONE PIERCE YOU. SHE DEFINITELY HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHES DOING.

I’ve had most of my tattoos done here at the shop, but by far my most favorite artist is Joseph. It’s always a blast being with him and never a dull moment he’s incredibly skilled and easy going I always look forward to my appointments with him and I get constant compliments on his art. I highly recommend the shop but recommend him even more. When I say he’s my permanent artist I mean it as I would not let anybody else touch me with a needle. If you’re not booking with him you’re truly missing out

Got a couple of tattoos here, first time getting ink here & I loved how they came out. The artist Joseph was cool, nice & very professional. I will be definitely coming back to get more work done with him, Thanks again Joseph!!

Went in to have my nose pierced for my bday. The young lady was great. This wasn't a pierce and pay type of situation which i have seen on occasion at other tattoo places. She helped with placement, told me my care instructions, and sent me on my way as a happy customer.

Went here for my nose piercing 2.5 months ago and Dorry did an amazing job with making me feel comfortable and being real chill. Nose piercing healed perfectly and I was able to switch it out for a hoop easily. Would definitely come back.

Love them! The staff is very cool and helpful. The artist, are relatable and do not rush to get the work done, they take their time and make sure you are happy with the design and go a bit out their way to make sure you are comfortable.

Warlock did my daughters names and birthdays tattoos and did an amazing job. Had such patience with helping me figure out what size and font I wanted them to make them perfect. While I waited for him to get all the things ready for the tattoos Dorry did such an amazing job with my nose piercing which is why I went back for my tongue (snake eyes) piercing. Also, I was recommended by Warlock to purchase this amazing ointment to help with the healing of my tattoos that helped not only to decrease the peeling and itchiness but also helped maintain the dark color of my tattoos. To this day my tattoos don’t look faded or anything. I will definitely be going back for tattoos and piercings 👍🏼👌🏽
