I first time I met John was when I got my nose piercing 8 years ago. I was impressed with how…read moreclean, sterile and nice the office was. He was very careful and gentle when piercing my nose too! Years later I decided to get my conch pierced and my mom got her helix and we had the same amazing experience. Now years later I brought my daughter so she could get her first earrings and John didn't disappoint. He was very sweet and careful with my baby. None of my piercings have ever gotten infected and they look amazing. As long as you follow his after care package you are all set! He also has the nicest jewelry. Overall this place is amazing!

TLDR; this piercer is not only abusing his position and making unconsented sexual touch, but is…read morealso condescending, incompetent, and unskilled. Do not give him your business, his pricing is cheap for a reason. The largest issue with this piercer is that he abused his position of power to slowly and increasingly make contact with me in a way that I obviously did not want nor consent to. He had one chance to apologize and you can see by his response below he is unremorseful and if fact just blames it on being born a man. Let me say this, I have been pierced in the same body part by another male and at NO POINT did I have to physically move my body away from him and especially his crotch. Mind you, my knee, sir is much farther away from my earlobe than standing by my side. It takes an imbecile to think that you can justify slowly running your crotch across my knee in any capacity. You are an old, incompetent, horny man with shaky hands who chose to stand where your crotch would continue to have contact with my leg. Not to mention, bud, but I now have your disgusting body in my memory, it's not so big that you just can't help hitting people with it. You are scum. This is not a one-time occurrence either. Other people have come forth and spoken up, and I will be making sure this message moves out to other platforms. Secondary to violating me, he's an incompetent old man. If you don't care or don't think he'll violate you, I can promise you won't get a good piercing either. If your intention was to violate me, the LEAST you could do is give me good lasting piercings. To start, this man cannot tell the difference between a piercing and a freckle. He told me I already had 3 piercings on my ear. Maybe he could've seen better if he wasn't hellbent on keeping his crotch on my knees. Not sure. I asked for 4 closed piercings to be repierced. 2 out of those 4 were repierced, while the other 2 have my former piercings next to them. Correct me if I'm wrong but 50% is a failing percentage is it not? He also didn't check the old piercings to make sure they were fully closed. I've had my first set of lobes repierced before and they verified, before working on permanently altering my body. I got 2 additional piercings on each lobe and the spacing is messed up because he believes that basing piercings off of "anatomical landmarks" is a fool-proof method. Anyway, the fool doesn't realize that people are not perfectly symmetrical and you need to compare the ear placements to both ears at the same time and not just one ear. I also got a nostril piercing, and due to the placement and jewelry choice, I developed a piercing bump. I was not informed that the placement was considered high, which would require higher maintenance and if closer to cartilage. I don't think he informed me because I don't think he is a knowledgeable piercer. In fact, as stated, I think he's incompetent. To have a field of expertise and not be able to articulate any additional information to your clients is abysmal. I had to have a better piercer switch out my jewelry from the hook shape to a straight stud and add spacers. Do you know what those are, John? I should also mention when he pierced my nostril he pinched my whole upper lip for some reason. Didn't love that, hurt a lot and was unnecessary. Disgusting man that takes no responsibility for his disgusting actions or his piss-poor service.

I really appreciated how easy it was to schedule and organize the tattoo appt, and Lauren was wonderful to work with as we fine tuned the look, size, and placement. The tattoo itself was done even better than I expected, and they provided a very cool saniderm patch that protected it for 3 days, which delayed the constant washing / lotion that I've had to do in other tattoos. It's looking wonderful now that it's almost healed and I'm so grateful! Everyone was very nice, it's a comfortable shop, and we got to watch Brooklyn 99 while we were doing the planning and tattoo, what more could you want?

The feel was so warm and welcoming, the decor was great. And I couldn't complain getting to sit on a comfy love seat with my fiancé watching Ink Master. We prob waited a total of 15 min, this including my one person ahead of me getting a piercing. The guy who did my piercing was fun and knowledgeable about his profession. He asked me what I wanted got it all setup, everything was sterile (I'm a nurse, so I watch for these things). He was quick, no pain and that was it I had what the hoop I was wanting. I paid and I got was on my way. I'll definitely be back for future piercings.
