The store was very cute and comfortable and clean. All things you want when getting a piercing! I saw the techs clean the headrests/chairs between client's which was appreciated. It was steady with business, but we didn't have to wait long at all. The piercing nurse tech walked us through the options and answered all our questions, speaking with confidence and expertise. She also made my niece feel comfortable! When she was done, they gave her an adorable certificate and sucker. The earrings are all hypoallergenic, which is also fantastic. 5/5 for sure!! Highly recommend. Please note: It is a little pricey, but worth it.

So happy we found this place!! I was searching for a clean, reputable place to take my child to get…read moreher ears pierced. Rowan checks all of the boxes! The added bonus is that the decor is absolutely adorable, they only pierce ears, and all piercings are completed by an RN! Tina helped us and she was such a sweetheart! My daughter had her ears pierced with the piercing tool and they did it simultaneously, one nurse on each ear to ensure my child's comfort. Next, they gave me my second piercing on each ear lobe. They recommended a needle piercing for me as I had this piercing in the past and they were closed up. Again, this went so smoothly and very comfortably! Another added bonus to Rowan is the jewelry is so cute! They have very affordable options all the way up to entry level luxury. Pricing is a bit on the expensive side once they add up all of the fees, however I feel that the overall value is there. They help you not only get the piercing you want safely, but to make it a memory as well. If you are looking for an ear piercing for yourself or have a child you want to take, I can't recommend Rowan (and Tina) enough!!

The associate did a fantastic job marking my daughter's ears, then had us check the placement. She made sure that my daughter was held down by us so she was still, then did the piercings. The baby did cry, but forgot about it 30 seconds after the second ear!! We got verbal and written care instructions before leaving. The only costs were the earrings ($30-50 for 14k gold) and the cleaning solution ($3). I'd definitely recommend this location for baby ear piercing.

My friend and I went to True Art Tattoo for a belly button piercing, and from the moment we walked…read morein, the experience was disappointing. The piercer, a white woman with black hair, was unfriendly and came across as snarky and rude from the very beginning. Instead of taking my friend to a private area, she had her lift up her shirt in the lobby. She then had her sit on the couch, looked her up and down, shook her head, and told her she was "too fat" for a belly button piercing and that she didn't have the right anatomy. Whether or not someone is a candidate for a piercing, there is a respectful and professional way to communicate that. The way she spoke to my friend was humiliating and unnecessarily hurtful. My friend already struggles with body image, and hearing those comments from another woman left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Watching someone treat another person that way was upsetting. After leaving, we went to another piercing shop, where the piercer evaluated her professionally and completed the piercing without any issues. We were also told that the interaction we experienced at True Art Tattoo was handled in a very unprofessional manner. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend True Art Tattoo. We encountered rudeness, body shaming, and a complete lack of compassion and professionalism. No customer should leave feeling belittled over their body.

Had bad juju from previous place that did this and was grossly overcharged. One and done. Went elsewhere and found my forever piercer, so a win overall. EDIT: responding to owner's comment, at no time was I told what you have said. Your employee said "$10 for every time they change jewelry or anything else; jewelry separate." When I asked her if they charge when downsizing from a piece purchased from you, was informed, "yes, every time something is done, a charge of $10, plus tax." I'd suggest you coach your team and perhaps stop spending so much time deflecting & challenging ppl's comments. Had I read before calling, I'd had known I would NOT want to do business with you. Yes, I am real. Not paid, nor a competitor as I've stated previously. No, not ever coming in. Shame on you. Perhaps review what customer service is truly about and spend time doing this, coaching yourself and your team.

Very poorly placed in terms of the angle of the piercing. I will have to go to another piercing studio and have it re-done! She a nice lady but I will never be able to get jewelry in this hole because of the angle. No way to ever get an earring back on here even since the swelling has gone down. I left her studio with only a stud which always comes out. Maybe Ricki is outdated in her nose piercing. Most other studios I called said they bend the studs so they don't come out. Until I get this redone, I have to keep bandaid and tape over this stud. Sucks big time!!

You want…read moreto befriend a piercer for all your sparkling needs and find a front of house to help in curations, custom orders and more. After leaving a studio who did all that and more for me on the east coast, mid-ear project, I was on the hunt. GoodLife is appointment only, with reputable piercers, jewelry options and a cleanliness that reminds you of a fancy (but cool) drs office. NGL my first visit, I was welcomed by a tough FOH. I'd be lying if it wasn't the first time I've encountered a person who treated someone who is not as alt presenting differently. BUT my knowledge of jewelry and brands, placements and piercing upkeep is thorough and the reason I bothered driving 45 mins to this studio. Upon making my appointment I picked out Kelly, who JUST so happened to work that weekend. They were AHMAZING, sweet, professional, and made you feel good. And for me, it was good enough to keep coming back. They introduced me to Ezra, the studio manager, for a custom order placement and that interaction continued to make up for the initial not so great check in. I've been back 2 more times since and have had great service each time. I've been introduced to Marissa as well and look forward to having a second piercer to work with on my ears. Folks know but its like tattoo artists, you just end up with your go-tos. They have great jewelry options and will work with you to order outside of any of the brands in their cases, custom or otherwise. Go get poked and sparkly!
