So I'm not exactly a body jewelry enthusiast and I'm still too scared to pierce my belly but I do…read morehave my nose pierced and have friends and family with tons of piercings. The owner Heidi is really friendly and explains everything to you. I didn't even buy anything the first two times I went there. She remembered my name which was cool and a couple times during our transaction a few groups of girls yelled hello to her so I'm assuming she's well liked. If you want any type of body jewelry that isn't Spencer's or Hot Topic garbage she has it! If you want that small business customer service and charm then shop with Heidi and her fiancé. It's not often you find people willing to really help you anymore! Good luck to them! Lets just pray my nose ring doesn't fall out....

I've removed 2 stars for 2 complaints: 1. VERY long wait time.. I can understand though, there were…read morea lot of people there and not many staff to tend to everyone. 2. Staff complaining about their job in front of customers.. this goes without explanation, I don't think bad-mouthing your boss is very professional. Bonus complaint for the construction zone in the middle of the place, with plaster all over the floor and the ceiling falling apart, it's not a very professional looking place. Other than that, I had a great experience with the piercing itself. The staff who spoke to me about the piercing I was getting was very knowledgeable and made sure I understood all of the risks of my choice of piercing. The piercer herself was very kind and did a fantastic job with the piercing and making sure I was comfortable and knew how to take care of it. This was my third time getting pierced here (after quite awhile), and the quality of the experience had definitely gone down this time. I would go again, but hopefully they get a few things under control to make the experience better.

I struggled with how I wanted to approach leaving this review. I wanted to wait for the tattoo to…read moreheal and for my anger to subsided a little. However, I'm permanently branded and I'm sick to my stomach over this. My dog passed away on July 28th, even though I knew it was coming I was still devistated. I had always planned on getting her paw print tattooed on me. Yesterday July 31st 2020 I had someone by the name of will do my pawprint. I was very specific in how I wanted this to look. I brought in my Maggie's paw print and asked if he could replicate it without harsh lines and to keep it light and shaded. I had her actual pawprint as well as a picture pulled up on my phone for reference the entire time. When he was done he barely cleaned off the excess ink and purple stencil. I thought that was strange because every other tattoo I've had the artist make sure to clean it up really well. I made a comment about it being dark and patchy. He stated that it would lighten up as it heals and to come back in for a touch up in a few weeks. After cleaning it and looking at it the next day it's obvious why he didn't wipe up the excess ink and stencil, because it was camouflaging how bad it really was. not only does this look nothing like the picture that I brought in for reference, but you can clearly see harsh lines, some of which go right through the shaded areas. The outside, or border if you will, goes from dots to straight harsh angled lines. Nothing is consistent or organic about this at all. The little imperfections and wisps of hair from her paw print look like random polka dots. Almost 100% of the tattoo is filled in. There's no negative space or area for skin to show through. The reason I got this tattoo was to help with the grieving process of losing my dog. Now I'm feeling anger and frustration that I have a tattoo that looks like it was done by a 7th grader with a safety pin. It's going to cost me hundreds of dollars to have this removed professionally. There's no touch-up or cover-up that is going to make this look the way it was supposed to look. I was told by the doctor I have to let it heal for 8 weeks before they can start the process of removing it. With that being said it's not even about the money, or the facts that it's going to take me a long time to have this removed. It's about the fact that for whatever reason the time and care that should go into a memorial tattoo like this didn't. This tattoo was very important to me. It was a way for me to heal, and now it's just another bad tattoo story that I'm going to have to explain to a lot of people.
