I came in with an irritation bump on my forward helix (my own fault for trying to take it out myself) and he helped me remove it for an MRI I have coming up. I've been here before as well and he's always been so extremely kind and caring. It's so hard to find someone that is genuinely knowledgeable about piercings and truly cares about the customer, so I'm beyond lucky to have met Allen. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend!

My second time back at Aura Piercing & Fine Jewelry and I'm as pleased as ever…read more I came into the shop because some of my previously purchased jewelry from another retailer fell out and I lost the flat backs. I came into the shop as a Hail Mary just to see if they carried something that would fit the studs I already owned. Not only was Allen able to help me and replace the flat backs on my existing jewelry, he also informed me that my naval piercing that fell out months ago wasn't closed. Instead of having to re-pierce Allen advised me all I needed to do was buy or bring in jewelry and he'd insert it for me. I love the honesty and how helpful Allen was! His advice saved me some coin and I'm so grateful this isn't a money grabbing establishment. This is my now my go-to spot!

I recently had a session with Aya at Costello Tattoo for a custom Goddess Isis tricep wrap, and the…read moreexperience was 10/10. From the jump, the shop vibes were professional and clean, which is huge for me working in the medical field. Aya is a true specialist. I was looking for high-level fine line work and she absolutely delivered on the detail and shading. She really understood the vision I had for this piece as a symbol of my career transition and personal growth. The placement fits my physique perfectly and the healing process has been smooth thanks to her solid aftercare instructions. If you're looking for a top-tier artist in LA who handles custom work with precision, book with Aya! :)

It's the first Mother's Day without her mom and with SAWOOLI and other staff at Studio City Tattoo help we were able to help make a sad day slightly better.

The customer service here is AWFUL! The lady dressed in black who sits behind the register and is…read moreon her phone while people need help has no basic knowledge about the jewelry policies at this shop. My partner and I came in to return a jewelry piece he surprised me with as a gift. I didn't even open the clear jewelry case since I immediately knew this septum ring was too large for me to wear. We clearly told the lady behind the register that we were there to exchange or return the piece. She tells us to wait for the piercer since others were waiting ahead of us. After waiting for over a half hour, I asked again, "do we really have to wait for the piercer to return this piece???" She said the piercer handles the jewelry. We were there for a total of at least 50 minutes! The piercer finally comes to us and tells us that jewelry cannot be returned after it leaves the shop. Why didn't the lady sitting behind the register give us this information as soon as we told her why we came in to the shop, instead of making us wait for almost an hour to just be extremely disappointed after speaking with the piercer? This place sucks, no respect and no consideration for patrons' valuable time. I have never been to a tattoo and piercing shop where the person at the register doesn't have basic knowledge on the shop's jewelry "policies" Back story: my partner goes in to this shop to surprise me with a septum ring. Another piercer helps him with picking out the jewelry. Bless my partner's heart but he knows nothing about piercings. He shows the piercer a photo of what I usually wear and somehow they pick out a piece that's triple the size of what I wear. The piercer never told my partner that jewelry is final sale. This place is an absolute disappointment and not helpful at all! Buy your jewelry somewhere else and go to a shop where everyone in the establishment values you as a customer!

Needle Pushers was hands down the best experience ever. Rolando pierced my 1-year-old daughter's…read moreears and made the whole process incredibly fast and as painless as possible. He was calm, gentle, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing, which made us feel completely at ease as parents. The shop was extremely clean and professional, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. If you're looking to get your child's ears pierced (or any piercing done), I couldn't recommend this place enough. 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend.

I'm writing this review to warn parents of infants…read more I brought my 3.5-month-old baby here to have her ears pierced, and the experience was very disappointing. From the start, the staff member we spoke with was very dismissive and unwelcoming. We were told the wait could be an hour or more and that the process itself could take another hour. What was most concerning is that we were told if my baby became fussy or cried, they would not proceed and would make us come back another day. With a baby, that's always a possibility, and it was said in a way that made it very clear they did not want to deal with infants at all. After waiting about 30 minutes with no movement and seeing how packed the shop was, we decided to leave because it didn't feel like a supportive or appropriate environment for a baby. We ended up going to Claire's, where the staff was kind, patient, and very professional, and my daughter's ears were pierced quickly and smoothly. If you have a baby or young infant, I would not recommend this place. This may be fine for adults, but it is not a baby friendly environment.

This time…read moreit was for my second daughter, who just turned one, and our first experience was with my oldest when she was 10 months old. We actually made the 3-hour drive just to come back, because our first experience three years ago was that amazing, and it was absolutely worth it all over again. From the moment you book your appointment to the second you walk through the door, you're treated with such warmth and care. The entire experience feels thoughtful, professional, and truly special. We visited their 3rd Street location and had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Ivy and Paola. They were so kind, patient, and incredible with our little one, it immediately put us at ease. Both of my daughters now have matching earrings, and as parents, we couldn't be happier. The quality, attention to detail, and overall experience are unmatched. You can tell they genuinely care about what they do. If you're looking for a place you can fully trust, especially for your little ones, this is it. I can't recommend them enough!

I called 5150 and asked if they have…read moreany availability and they said yes, right now is perfect to come in so I tell them I'll be there in a few minutes. I pay for parking and walk over a few minutes later and they tell me a group just walked in and I'll have to wait 15 minutes, which was annoying bc I feel like they should have told them they have someone coming in already. Anyway, I wait in their waiting room for 35 minutes and no one comes out to update me. I only paid for 30 minutes of parking so I told them never mind and just left. What a waste of time.

I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. She pierced my 4 month old daughter's ears…read morerecently, and years ago she also pierced my toddler's ears. Both experiences were wonderful. She is kind, patient, professional, and accommodating. You can tell she genuinely cares about the babies and making parents feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She takes her time to make sure the placement is perfect, which is especially impressive with a wiggly baby constantly moving around. She never rushes and pays attention to every little detail. She also sends you home with everything you need to properly care for the piercings and even gives the babies little toys, which is such a thoughtful touch. She is so sweet and made the entire experience stress-free and positive. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get their child's ears pierced.

I think everyone should remember that when you pierce a young baby's ears there is potential for the lobe to grow and the holes to shift.

Shop is clean, spacious, nice parking. Before starting the process, we got a full walk through of what's going to happen and how to care for our babies piercing. If you're thinking of getting this done, please do not go to a mall or kiosk, they are not trained professionals! Make sure you find a reputable tattoo shop with experience in piercing babies, just like Kathouse!! We had the best experience, babies ears healed beautifully, process was smooth and easy. Definitely recommend coming here.

It made what could have been a stressful moment into something special. I highly recommend this shop to any parents considering a safe and professional place for their child's first piercing!
