There aren't the words to express just how comfortable and PAINLESS my experience was at the 3rd St…read moreOak and Poppy. Yesterday I got my septum pierced for my birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I'm giving 4 stars for their customer service,…read morecleanliness, and responsiveness. My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.

What really sets Simon apart for me is not just his technical skill, but his patience and attention to detail. He took the time to listen to my ideas, gave thoughtful suggestions, and helped refine the design into something even better than what I originally had in mind. That level of involvement is rare. The quality of his work is top-tier -- clean lines, great precision, and solid color work. You can tell he genuinely cares about the final result, even down to the smallest details. The whole process felt smooth and comfortable, and I felt confident the entire time that I was in good hands. If you're looking for an artist who is both talented and genuinely invested in your vision, I would definitely recommend Simon. I'll absolutely be coming back for future tattoos.

Making memories to be cherished for a lifetime through Joy's artwork…read more.. This is my story of getting 12.28.2007--because every tattoo has a story. Joy was truly instrumental in finding the perfect design. Her impeccable eye for art and class allowed me to make a permanent imprint of something so precious to me, ensuring it lasts a lifetime. I never thought tattoos were for me--especially at this stage in life. I first met Joy eight years ago for microblading to achieve bolder eyebrows. At the time, she was new, but her knowledge and gentle, non-pressured approach gave me confidence. She did an incredible job, and soon, my entire family followed. My wife, sisters, mom, and four nieces all received microblading, ombré, and PMU treatments over the years. As Joy expanded her services, she worked on my male friends as well. One of the most impressive transformations was a scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for my aging friend--it took years off his appearance. After seeing the undetectable results, I had to try it myself. Her SMP work was a game-changer. It covered my shining crown with natural, hair-like artistry and gave me an incredible confidence boost. Then, I started noticing her tattoo work on Instagram--unlike the large, wild designs you often see (which are great, but not my style). Joy's tattoos were elegant, classy, and clean. Even the smallest ones carried powerful meaning. That's when it hit me: a tattoo with deep personal significance is artwork only you can wear. For years, I had wanted a way to honor our beloved first daughter, Rachael, who left us too soon. In Korean, they say, You bury your parents in the ground, but you bury your child in your heart. Those who know... know. Fast forward to my conversations with Joy. We explored different options--hand poke, traditional, various styles. She patiently guided me, helping me refine the idea. Ultimately, we chose Roman numerals, and she meticulously went through fonts and sizes to ensure it was perfect. She took her time, never rushing, making sure I was completely satisfied. When we placed the template, I looked in the mirror. It was perfect. No... it was better than I had imagined. A wish I had carried in my heart was now real--something I could touch and see. The birth and life of our beloved daughter now lives on through this tattoo. Thank you, Joy! Your work is beyond just tattoo. It is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

I arrived at the shop 15 minutes late & a man at the counter told me I would go after 4 ppl that were already waiting. I thought because I was 15 minutes late they would take the 4 ppl ahead me or maybe they double booked? The man didn't inform me as to what was going on and looked annoyed as more ppl came inside the shop. After waiting an hour, two more ppl came in & they weren't even greeted. The line had not moved and the 4 ppl ahead of me were still waiting. I decided it was not worth the wait and to leave because of how unprofessional they were. They could have at least came out to confirm everyone's appt & let us know what was going on.
