I usually don't make reviews but my experience was bad enough that I had to for this place. I wanted my helix done yesterday and luckily they said they had availability but it was later in the evening, not a problem. The piercer was very nice and seemed professional, he had a legit set up and sterilization tools. He ended up using the wrong needle and the wrong jewelry in my helix and I had to take it out. I didn't notice it was wrong until I left the shop. I called them this afternoon to ask for a refund, which they refused. In this call, the person on the other end of the line essentially blamed me for not checking that he was using the right tools. He also tried to tell me that the type of jewelry he used was, in fact, the right one. I have had over 10 piercings in my life as well as a fully healed helix on the other side of my ear, so I know for a fact that this is wrong. As a customer, I should not have to make sure the professional is doing his job right. Not sure about their tattoos, but definitely don't get pierced here. read more

Bring Your Skin Down Artist Is Randy is a great tattoo artist. His shop is always clean and he works hard to make sure that his customers are happy. I was able to get an appointment with him on the same week I called, and he gave me a great price for the work that he did. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented tattoo artist! read more

First off its a very classy place,probably as nice of a tattoo place you will walk into. Randy did a great job and hes a really cool guy,he can answer any question at all you have for him,its not hard to tell hes a professional at what he does.So i highly recommend this place,i will go again eventually. He plays whatever type of music you want during the tattoo,there isnt a crowd of people,or any people around you, he explained to me he is putting his attention into the tattoo and nothing else.If you want to talk he will talk and if you want to sit silent he will just work.Hes very easy to get along with.It was a great first experience read more

Was visiting all the local places that do piercings to do my homework before I decided on who I was going to trust stabbing a needle through my face... Went in and asked if the piercer was in and was told he was at the gym so I asked if he had a portfolio with photos of the piercings he has done and was told no. I checked out the jewelry selection for the Monroe piercing I wanted and I didn't really like their selection. I left mainly because he didn't have a portfolio because I wanted to see photos of his work to see if he is good at placement etc. a week later I saw a girl with the same piercing I wanted and the placement was perfect it looked great. She told me she got it done at Bring Your Skin and that her experience was really good. I've heard other good things about this place so I went back and the piercer was really professional and everything was sterile. He did a really good job on my Monroe piercing. The placement is perfect. He was really cool and even talked with me about how I can become a piercer. The only negatives I have are that he doesn't have a portfolio and the jewelry selection isn't that great, but after it heals people change the jewelry anyway. The jewel in mine came out next day and he replaced it for free which I really appreciated. I give their piercer 4 stars read more

I do not recommend this place for any services provided if you are not willing to provide information beyond what is required by law to be stored on electronic file and possibly sold/lost at a later time.
