Place accepts walk-ins, and I was impressed with their cleanliness as well as their approachability. The artist Heena is quite talented plus her professionalism was amazing. She was also very light with the needle. They were very informative about the healing process (which I appreciated despite having like many tattoos for over the past decade or two) - shows their commitment. Plus they also emailed me the tattoo aftercare list. I think I met with the tattoo owner too? She was quite lovely and engaging. Highly recommend.

Overall, the shop itself was immaculate and very clean. The piercings were well placed, the price…read morewas reasonable, and the piercer had good bedside manner, which I appreciated. The staff was helpful, though a bit aloof and standoffish at times. That said, I did run into some issues that made this a more difficult experience than it needed to be. The jewelry used was externally threaded, and they did not have 19mm bars available. I was pierced with 16mm bars, which ended up being just slightly too short for my anatomy. I was pierced in August 2025, and now in December I have had a very difficult healing process largely due to the bar length. I constantly dealt with the balls pressing in and threatening to embed because there simply wasn't enough room for swelling. Before getting pierced, I did ask if longer bars could be used or ordered. I was told they only place jewelry orders every few months and that ordering a specific size for me and having me come back was not how they do things. I was willing to pay for the proper jewelry and return, but that wasn't an option. In hindsight, I should have walked out, but I really wanted the piercings and went forward anyway. I also did not see an A.P.P. membership sticker displayed, which in retrospect should have been another sign for me to choose a different shop. I recently changed my jewelry myself to 19mm internally threaded bars, and the difference has been huge. My nipples are healing properly now and are noticeably happier. I can't speak to their tattooing, but based on my experience, their piercing policies could use improvement. I personally wouldn't return for piercings unless they begin offering internally threaded jewelry and can demonstrate A.P.P. standards.

Got a piercing from Kris and it was the informative piercing session I ever had. She explained…read moreevery step of the process and even explained after care a few times as she worked. She continuously checked if I was doing ok and would explain the steps as she was piercing. Piercing was as painless as possible and did not feel like a rushed piercing at all. I've been to places that rush to get you in and out with piercings so this was a pleasant change. Pricing was reasonable and wait time wasn't too long. They do have their prices on their website if you're looking at how much a specific piercing is. Was able to call and get an appointment within the same day. They do accept walk ins but it's best to call to check ahead of time that they will be able to fit you in their schedule. Will definitely recommend others and come back for future piercings!
