    My snakebites are too wide in my opinion and only looks good here cause this filter narrows the shape of my face.
    Zasia D.

    So I have A LOT of history with this place. This is, unfortunately, the most accessible place for me to go for piercings. Let me start off by saying, I've gotten my naval pierced, my monroe, my septum, my nipples and more recently my snake bites done here. My Monroe closed up twice while trying to put in new jewelry, after having them in for months. My nipple rings never healed after 5 months so I took them out. My most recent snake bites are not placed properly and do not compliment my lips at all, whereas my friend got his done and his look way better than mine but was done by a different person. I didn't like where they were marked and brought it up but was told that that was where they're supposed to be and of course I listened because they're the "professionals." Let me just say this, there has never been a time where I wasn't ripped off or that they attempted to rip me off. As time passed, I stopped letting them encourage and intimidate me into paying more. You said $35, I'm only paying $35. I'm not buying your overpriced cleaners (the last time I literally went on amazon and got everything they offered for like $15 right in front of their faces) where they were charging $20/cleanser. For my nipple rings I was quoted $35. After they did them they charged me $100+! I smiled, paid them, called my bank and told them what happened and got my money back. It says they're temporarily closed and I'm praying that it's so they can clean up their acts and get rid of the scam artists they have as employees/management (if you can even call it management). If that's not why they're closed then I hope they never reopen. It's criminal what they do and get away with.

    Update: After posting the following review on Google, the "new" manager Luis found me on Facebook, messaged with me back and forth, then called me forgetting everything we discussed on messenger (with what sounds like Anthony coaching him in the background as to what to say), offering new piercings, free jewelry, a $150 gift card, or a new tattoo just so I will shop with them again/delete my review. They refuse to give me all or even any of my money back when the original piercings lasted less than 2 weeks -- what sort of retroactive "solution" is that? They clearly do not stand behind the quality of their services. Attached are photos of my piercings lasting less than 2 weeks, Anthony saying it's "ok" to remove the piercings to clean them, and Anthony ignoring my request for a refund. (If you're not completely satisfied = 14-day return policy, anyone???). "Anthony is very "charming" but essentially a con artist - I went in for info on helix piercings & they convinced me to do 3 frontal helix & 3 cartilage on the spot, saying they'd give me the jewelry for free. They charged me $500. (For reference point, Lola's in Bogota wants $90 for a triple helix, which includes the jewelry). Anthony did my piercings at the Palisades Mall (meanwhile he has 0 tattoos & only 1 lobe pierced) - the piercings were uneven & would not heal properly. The backs kept falling out and Anthony actually suggested I take the piercing out to clean it, which made the hole close right up! He "unfortunately" could do nothing to remedy the situation (aka no refund, partial or otherwise). His only offer was a free piercing, and I already know how those turn out seriously don't waste your time or money here, because you won't get either back."

    Anthony did an amazing job piercing me and my friend today. He explain everything to us and make us feel less scared about it! In addition to that, the piercing was super sanity!

    Came in yesterday with my brother to get sibling tattoos. The lady who helped us get our information and ideas of what we wanted was super sweet and she set us up with Eric. He showed us some of his artwork and was reassuring my brother the whole time because it was his first tattoo. His station was super clean and he took some creative liberty that made our tattoos even better than we expected. So happy with the establishment and definitely coming back for the Black Friday special!

    After my daughter was turned down by Claire's, Back Stage came to the rescue. They do walkins and the temporary earrings are very cute. The man who did her piercings was very nice and made sure she was satisfied with what she got. This place was awesome and highly recommended.

    Every one that works in the store is very friendly and I love all of the tattoos I've gotten from here. Babiery is a great tattoo artist!

    As we were heading to the doctor to find out for sure- she had me call Anthony about the possibility of having to remove the piercing.

    My daughter for the past three years has wanted to have her nose pierced. Well today was the day…read more We went to Pleasurable Piercings in Hawthorne and could not have been more satisfied. The store is spotless and very well setup. The moment we entered we were greeted by a member of the team who explained everything to us and helped us with the jewelry selection. When it came time for the piercing we met Sev. Sev was amazing. Sev explained the entire process and everything down to the tiniest detail. Sev put my daughter so much at ease she never knew the piercing was done. Thank you Sev for your kindness, compassion and warm, bubbly personality. You are amazing. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a body piercing. You won't be disappointed.

Will was very professional and quick! I was a little nervous but it was over in a split second and didn't hurt as much as I was anticipated! You can tell he is a skilled and seasoned pro! The staff was very helpful, friendly and answers all our questions. The shop was clean, they have a large selection of beautiful jewelry. and the piercing process itself followed all proper protocols. The place was pretty busy on a Friday afternoon and we did end up waiting a good while after our appointment time to be seen, but it was worth the wait! They have couches and a water cooler to make your wait more comfortable. I caught the piercing bug for sure and want to go back for more soon!

    I initially had high hopes for my experience because I got along well with the artist and felt…read morecomfortable going into the appointment. Unfortunately, the outcome of my final tattoo was extremely disappointing. During the session, my skin was overworked significantly, which resulted in multiple scars. I have never gotten scars from any other tattoo. During the healing process I had an open wound in the center from my skin being dug into. There are also major inconsistencies in the black ink saturation throughout the piece, so much so that parts are fading out. The tattoo itself ending up not following the reference, as a lot of the lines are shaky, the center of the flower lacks definition, and the petals are not cohesive. I understand that tattoo artists can become exhausted, especially during long sessions, which is why I wish I was firmly told to come back another day. If an artist is too tired to give a piece their full attention and care, it would be far better to firmly reschedule for another day rather than continue working while fatigued. This experience genuinely impacted my confidence and how I feel about my body, which is really upsetting because my goal with tattoos is to feel more in tune with myself and style. Unfortunately, the outcome has led me to begin the tattoo removal process, which is both emotionally and financially stressful for me and is about to cost me a lot more than this tattoo.

    Can't say enough excellent things about this place! Owner,…read moreDom, and tat artist, Rebecca, vibed with me immediately. Destiny shall I say? Felt like I knew them forever. Dom is incredible. He's so passionate about what he does and IMO an expert with piercings and what he chooses for the best of all when it comes to quality and beauty. Uses 14k gold to titanium. Diamonds and natural gems offered as well! Not surgical SS which contains nickel. (Most hospitals use titanium to fuse bones or secure replacements in our bodies.) Incredibly knowledgeable and tells you everything from start to finish. I was hesitant because of my own memories of piercing gun I was used to 20yrs ago versus needles, but I swear he is so exceptional that I will never go to another. He explains everything, super knowledgeable, can answer every question you have and uses the best materials. He is super passionate and is simply himself. Place is beyond sterile and not one piercing I chose has hurt for days like your typical piercing gun at "Claire's". It's reverse piercing where flat bottomed backing doesn't poke your skin as you sleep or hand hold your phone. You basically buy the tops to replace once inserted as opposed to traditional you remove backing and change your earring with this long post stabbing you in your head. He will even offer to change tops for you! Exceptional taste in beauty trends and will order whatever you might want from his suppliers that he may not have on hand at the moment. Follow them on IG! I'll be here forever if I really lay into this awesome review! I've already been here two consecutive days as of writing and brought my hubby for 2nd trip to have his ear redone from prior. I requested third appt and am excited to see new products he has coming next week before I decide on fourth. Now working with Rebecca for my additional tats! My review will not do them Justice, just come here and see for yourself! 10 stars if it were possible!
