A friend recommended this spot, and once I browsed their website and saw all the gorgeous jewelry options, we decided to go check it out in person. Merari was incredibly patient as I looked at (and then re-looked at) several styles. The piercing fee is typically $50, but since I mentioned it was a birthday gift to myself, they kindly waived it. Plus, I got 10% off as a first-time customer, WOOT! This gal loves a bargain, and let's be real, this is NOT a bargain kind of place (in the best way possible). I ended up choosing a dainty little diamond crawler-style piece that I absolutely love. Since they weren't busy, I only waited about 30 minutes for the ever-so-gentle Ivy to work her magic. The whole experience was smooth and super welcoming, I can totally see how these high-end piercing boutiques become addictive. Do I need a 4th one, maybe... My only wish? That more styles, especially the beautiful opals and zodiac pieces, came in white gold. Guess I'll just have to keep checking back...

I've been coming here since I moved to Dallas in 2021 (I used to go to their NW Austin location…read morewhen I lived there) and I have ALWAYS had wonderful experiences here. Annie and Jade have been my go to piercers for years. Prior to getting any piercings, they require you to watch piercing healing and care videos so you know what you're getting into. I love Pineapple (the owner) and his commitment to being thorough and honest when it comes to healing. They are so patient and knowledgeable when it comes to jewlery selection, the piercing itself and healing. They are APP members here--that mixed with their calming demeanor really helps with calming nerves. I swear by this shop and their piercers -- also free parking in the lot and after care packages!

I walked in under the assumption I'd probably get a consultation and have to reschedule. What actually happened was this smooth straight to the point process you could only expect from well prepared professionals in their craft. From the jewelry selection process to the execution of the piercing even paying was the last thing on my mind (no pressure) I really got a chance to soak it all in. This is the place to get your piercing fix satisfied! $200

When I walked into the tattoo parlor, it looked clean, professional, and well put together. Based…read moreon the appearance alone, I felt confident I would receive good service. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience at all. The artist who worked on me seemed inexperienced, and the process didn't match what I was told. What should have taken around 30 minutes was discussed as taking several hours, which already felt off. In the end, I was charged $200 for a cover-up that I'm extremely unhappy with--especially since it's on my face. To make matters worse, the artist didn't follow through on what was promised. He said he would work on two tattoos but only did one, and even then, it wasn't what I asked for. I specifically wanted a design resembling stitches, but instead I was left with a large black feather on my head that I deeply regret. The environment also felt unprofessional. The staff came across as dismissive and made me feel judged for the tattoo ideas I wanted, which added to an already negative experience. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and unhappy with both the service and the final result. I would not recommend this shop. Are there any tattoo shops in the area willing to help fix a bad face tattoo once it heals? I'm worried it might scar, and I'm trying to figure out my options. If anyone has experience with cover-ups or thinks removal would be a better route, please let me know. I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations--this is something I'm stressing about and want to fix the right way. I'm not trying to bash the entire shop, because there seemed to be some talented artists there. However, I do want to warn others about my experience with one specific artist. The artist I worked with--whose name may be Ivan or Isaac--came across as confident, but in my opinion did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or experience I expected. For example, when I asked about certain techniques like blood shading, he didn't seem to understand what I was referring to. That raised concerns for me about his training and experience. Again, this does not reflect everyone at the shop, but based on my experience, I would personally not recommend working with that particular artist.

It smelled weird as well like a sweaty locker room. It was busy so the lobby area was stuffy. We went to sit down and there was something that looked like a blood stain on the worn white couch. My thought is yes, this is the lobby but made me question what the piercing rooms would look like - would they be clean. We came into inquire - no service done. Also, they provided only two options - 10mm silver or gold studs The case looked almost empty and looks like others commented on this as well. The staff was nice however I do not think we will be back to have a service done.
