She was so kind and professional the entire time, made sure I was comfortable, and the piercing itself was done painlessly! When I mentioned wanting to possibly switch to a hoop one day, she went back to make sure the piercing spot was perfect for my future plans. Also, when I mentioned that I was a little dizzy post-piercing [my fault for not having eaten anything], she immediately had a capri sun in my hand, and made sure I was completely fine before leaving. All in all I could not have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be going back for future piercings!

My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.

I forgot my piercer's name, but he was seriously the best. He was so kind, gentle, and made me feel really comfortable. It was my first real piercing as an adult (not at Claire's ), and it was honestly so quick and basically painless. I'm so happy with how it turned out. He even gave me clear after care instructions and made sure I knew how to go about the healing process. Thank you again for such an incredible experience. Highly recommend this place

I've been here plenty of times and have loved this place from my very first visit. The atmosphere…read moreis always kind and welcoming, and the work is consistently exceptional from every single piercer. Most recently, I worked with Cat and Hernan. I especially wanted to shout out Hernan for my navel piercing. He did a phenomenal job. He was communicative and completely open to my requests. It's been about three days now, and I'm honestly surprised by how little soreness and discomfort I've had. I'm a bigger guy with a stomach, so I was a little concerned about how a navel piercing would feel, especially since it's a high movement area. But after the first 12 hours, there is very little soreness, and I'm already noticing less discomfort when I move. I think a lot of that has to do with Hernan's skill and attention to placement. He checked the placement while I was standing, sitting, and laying down to see how my stomach and navel moved and sat in each position. That level of care really stood out to me and should be standard but isn't everywhere which is why I always go here. For any plus size person wondering if a navel piercing is possible or will heal well, it definitely will! It's more about your individual anatomy than your size, but having a knowledgeable piercer who understands anatomy of all sizes makes a huge difference. Everyone here is great. I just wanted to give Hernan a special shoutout for this recent work. Thanks!

You sign up with a QR code, then they call your name when it's your turn. I arrived around 4pm and waited less than 20 minutes. I talked to some of the girls who were waiting to get tattooed and it seemed their wait was also minimal. Jassy (stabbedbyjassy on IG) did three of my piercings. I got a daith, vertical helix, and lobe. I completely trusted her judgement and I'm glad I did. She made the experience fast and painless. Then once I contacted her through IG for some last minute questions, she responded less than two days later. Overall, glad I came here for the event and looking forward to another piercing by Jassy once these heal. Also glad I saved some money by going during this special event, because they quoted me $75 for a helix and $85 for a daith, originally.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING!…read more I am genuinely horrified by my experience today. I deserve compensation for this. This is not what I expected. Madi is a nice girl but please avoid her as an artist. I do not recommend this place. I'm still crying I just didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't like it. Update: I contacted both Madi the artist and the shop directly to request a refund, and so far I have received no response regarding my refund request. It is extremely unprofessional to message me saying what she said. Just because I approved the design does NOT mean it was tattooed the way it should have been. My issue is not design. The fact that the proposed solution is for the same person who did a tattoo I'm unhappy with to simply make more permanent changes to it is honestly unbelievable. A tattoo is not something you can just erase when the work isn't done properly. I trusted this person with my skin, paid for a professional service, and have to consider laser removal. Please do not come to this place they do not hire professionals.

I was raised by my mother who has me and my brother, so i always saw us as the three points in a triangle. We group text every single day. We always make sure each other is safe before we go to bed. The Love is Deep. I was a walk in and the customer service was excellent. There was some really good looking guy who may work there too with a shaved head and lots of tattoos. Nice to have something to distract you from the pain. The studio itself is super artsy and dope. It was also very clean. I truly had a great experience getting my tattoo.

Kirk Alley has been tattooing me since 2011, and I don't want anyone else to tattoo me for as long…read moreas we both shall live. Truly. I have two major pieces from him: a full sleeve on my left arm and a black-and-white piece that begins on my lower right ribs and wraps behind to the left side of my lower back. The latter required some reworking of old tattoos, and Kirk executed flawlessly. He has my complete trust when it comes to tattooing. I don't think twice about him drawing on me. To state the obvious: Kirk is an incredible artist -- originally a painter recruited to become a tattooist -- who can execute on any style you wish with flying colors. That's rare in a world of specialists who are limited to one style. You will get a one-of-a-kind piece. Plus, Kirk's a pleasure to be around. It's nice to spend a couple of hours talking to him while he draws on me. I always look forward to visiting him, and I hope that can happen again soon.

She really listened to what I wanted, understood how important the tattoo was to me, and took the time to work through the details with me instead of making it feel rushed or routine. She was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. Because it was my first tattoo, I didn't know what to expect, but she made me feel completely comfortable and confident the whole time. She explained everything clearly, checked in with me, and made sure I was happy with every decision before moving forward. She's extremely talented, but just as importantly, she genuinely cares about the person and the meaning behind the work. I would absolutely recommend Agnes to anyone looking for someone skilled, patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making the experience personal.
