    The jewelry selection
    Tineil T.

    I went to Inklightened to get an Industrial and a Daith piercing. I was nervous about going to a tattoo parlor but looking at their well curated website and speaking to them over the phone helped to sooth me. I made a bit of a fool of myself when I rang the bell and knocked on the door, only to turn the door knob and find it open. The owner was nice about this and met me at the door smiling kindly. The shop itself is small, but the space is used wisely, giving it a homey feel. Well lit and inviting, the walls are covered in what I'm guessing is potential tattoo art, and the background music is trendy but not loud. The windows are covered with dark colored blinds so you're not on display to people walking by, and the seating is comfortable, encouraging you to bring a friend. Mike was the guy who pierced me. I'd previously read his bio on their website and felt comfortable with him. He spoke softly, but firmly, exuding a friendly confidence that assured me he knew what he was doing. Before the piercing began, he used tweezers to pluck the jewelry he was going to use on me from the case. I wanted a circular barbell for my Daith, but once again, he spoke firmly yet kindly, telling that I would have to have a curved barbell to allow for swelling and drainage. I looked that up online, and he was right. The actual piercings themselves happened quickly. He used 3 different needles, throwing each away after a single use, and then he changed his gloves every time he left the room to get a new piece of jewelry. Overall, I had a WONDERFUL experience!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    I took a chance on going to this shop based on the reviews posted here. I wanted to get a daith piercing. I went on a Sunday afternoon. The place was clean and welcoming...no loud music and a bunch of people just hanging around. Max was courteous, informative & professional. The process was painful but he was so smooth and reassuring, that I got a second one (the tragus). Their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend him and might even go back for another one soon. UPDATE: I did go back! And got the other ear done :) First ear healed beautifully. I drove 4 hours to come back to Max because of his professionalism and courtesy.

    It was a clean and nice place. Jay did an amazing job on my tattoo and was thorough and friendly. Would definitely come back.

    There are no words that can express how happy I am with Chang's artistry in his Tattoo work. Though mine was simple and with his help w/design he made my first time experience a Dunn yet memorable one. The business was very clean, all tools clean and sterilized. I'll do it again. Thanks Chang!!!!

    JayManiak is DOPE! We walked in and had our minds made up about what we wanted and where we wanted it. But after a brief consultation with Jay, we quickly changed our minds and was open to his suggestions. His process was sanitary, quick and precise. You can tell he takes pride in and values his work. He also recognizes the importance of a customer. Jay has become our go to artist in NJ.

    What is the verification process for minors to get body piercings? I know there is the legal requirements but are there any requirements specific to this store?

    They need Birth Certificate, school ID, and their guardian

    Went in to have my septum pierced and was thoroughly impressed by both the shop and Max (the young man who pierced me).

    Carrie is kind, amazing and an excellent piercer! Also, bring cash for tip!…read more I stopped by 2 weeks ago on a Saturday (2/26). I called beforehand to ask about getting a tragus piercing, and was told to stop in during business hours. Note: There's some street parking available in front of the shop depending on the time of day you visit. I had no problem. Upon entering, the shop looked inviting and clean, and there is a couch to the left (super comfy btw). Carrie, my piercer, was in the back finishing up with a customer. I could tell it was going to be a good experience because the lady before me was laughing and chatting away with Carrie. I was given an iPad to complete some paperwork and provided my ID, and then was taken to the back of the room. She gave me a selection of jewelry to choose from and I picked one that I liked most. She completed the piercing, and here's where she earned 5 stars (if I could give her 10 stars, I would). I got up from my chair after she was done, and I was feeling faint (new experience for me, made me realize that I'm not 18 anymore). I asked her where the restroom was and she started to show me, but then asked me if I was feeling faint or like I was going to throw up. I told her yes, and she immediately brought me back to the piercing room and sat me down, elevating my legs. Then she applied cold compress on my neck and placed a fan near me. She kept talking to me and told me a story that I won't repeat here out of respect, and I could see that despite being a total stranger to me, she was such a compassionate person. After about 10-15 minutes, I felt so much better and was ready to get up and pay. I didn't have cash on me and couldn't leave a tip on the card, and you know what Carrie said? Without skipping a beat, she said it was okay and that the best tip was a positive review. And I could tell she was being so genuine. I left but I didn't feel right about not leaving a tip. The next day, I dropped off a thank you card and tip. She didn't remember me, which honestly made the experience that much more meaningful - she's just naturally that kind and cool that she didn't think anything of my situation. If you're looking to get pierced, come see Carrie!

    my boyfriend and I both just got piercings and they turned out great ! we loved them. the owners…read moreare super nice ! great energy I highly recommend
