I came in for a double helix piercing which is more complicated than I thought. How hard can it be…read moreto punch two holes in my ear? Thankfully I had Scott as my piercer who explained that aligning two piercings facing the same direction on my 3D potato-chip surface of an ear takes real skill, care, and consideration. Thankfully Scott had all of these, and I'm really grateful to have stumbled upon this shop. Scott was exceptional in explaining the whole process and prepared me well for the big ouch and the aftercare. I really worried about the healing process because of various reddit posters, however the magic spray (hypochlorous acid + saline) he sent me home with has made the recovery a breeze. I've had the piercing for a week, and I forgot it was there after the first 36 hours. No inflammation or any signs of irritation. I'm only going to Scott for any future work. The only con of coming to Scott is that you'll want more piercings because he does such a good job and made the recovery so easy. He's also a cool and courteous dude. 10/10

At 58 years young and after…read moreexperiencing some major life upheaval and realizing myself and my family had been through so much I decided it was time to do the things I wanted. After all life is short. The original dragon fly was done in Florida and while I love it, and had my vision, when I got home I decided I wanted al little more. That's where Tressa came in and made my vision come to love. She was so friendly, kind and I was relaxed, at ease and enjoyed the experience with her. I have already planned my next one! I should also add that after I had my original done my husband asked me to design a family tattoo for him, together we came up with his and I will add the photo below. Nicole was his artist and she incorporated the butterfly from mine into his. before my husband left she had our full story and shared some of her own. What makes it all interesting is there are tons of things in common and he left feeling great. Almost like getting therapy while being inked. My next one will match his with different colors. Maybe not on my back. He said the numbing cream was well worth it! He will submit another review but I can't help but share his as well!!! If you want a tattoo but have been putting it off go see that ladies! You will love them!

I got my nose pierced a few years ago but have had trouble with it because I had the helix ring which as come out for one reason or another and I haven't always been able to get it back in. Several people have suggested getting a flat back ring instead and I was happy to find out the Red Octopus offers those so I went by on 5/1 to get my nose repierced for like the third time now lol. I was greeted upon entering at the front desk and I explained that I wanted to be sure they had the ring I needed and the issues I was having, they confirmed they had it then showed me the jewelry options. I picked the size ring I wanted and filled out my paperwork and paid and I was taken back right away. I had some scar tissue as I've been repierced before so she moved the spot slightly, explained what she was doing and got to it. It was very quick and painless. The shop is clean and open. My piercer, Ray was very sweet, professional, knowledgable and quick. I don't know if I spent a full 20 minutes in there from start to finish and I wasn't rushed at all. I was really missing my nose piercing and am so happy to have it back, with a more secure ring and at a size I love. Highly recommend Red Octopus for your piercing needs and definitely suggest asking for Ray.
