I went to moving pictures to get my nose pierced. The staff were very nice. That being said, they…read moremessed my piercing up pretty bad. They told me I could get pierced with a hoop (I have never heard of any piercing place doing this), and assured me it was totally fine. I wanted a hoop in the long run, so I went with it because if the piercer said it was fine then it should be fine right?? It was in fact not fine. I had a large irritation bump on my piercing for months. I went back to ask why the bump wouldn't go away and I was told there was hair in my piecing. There was not hair in my piercing. I ended up going to a different piercer who told me they should have never given me a hoop right after piercing because the wound will never heal correctly due to the angle of the hoop. He switched me out for a stud, told me to STOP using the saline solution as it just excessively dries out the piercing. Within a week of switching to a stud and stopping the use of the saline solution the bump was already almost gone. Once again, the staff were very kind. I'm not here to say never come to this place, but maybe just consider how they are potentially not using their best judgement at times!

Moving to a new city and finding a great (and reputable) piercing studio is a tricky one. You want…read moreto befriend a piercer for all your sparkling needs and find a front of house to help in curations, custom orders and more. After leaving a studio who did all that and more for me on the east coast, mid-ear project, I was on the hunt. GoodLife is appointment only, with reputable piercers, jewelry options and a cleanliness that reminds you of a fancy (but cool) drs office. NGL my first visit, I was welcomed by a tough FOH. I'd be lying if it wasn't the first time I've encountered a person who treated someone who is not as alt presenting differently. BUT my knowledge of jewelry and brands, placements and piercing upkeep is thorough and the reason I bothered driving 45 mins to this studio. Upon making my appointment I picked out Kelly, who JUST so happened to work that weekend. They were AHMAZING, sweet, professional, and made you feel good. And for me, it was good enough to keep coming back. They introduced me to Ezra, the studio manager, for a custom order placement and that interaction continued to make up for the initial not so great check in. I've been back 2 more times since and have had great service each time. I've been introduced to Marissa as well and look forward to having a second piercer to work with on my ears. Folks know but its like tattoo artists, you just end up with your go-tos. They have great jewelry options and will work with you to order outside of any of the brands in their cases, custom or otherwise. Go get poked and sparkly!

The atmosphere is very relaxed and John and Joe make you feel right at home. Their hygiene technics are second to none and will make you look at every tattoo parlor you visit after them with a different perspective. I had the pleasure of letting John put a half sleeve on me and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. He spend hours after work organizing my thoughts, incorporating my comments and putting together a piece that made sense and fit on my arm. He even worked me in in his down time to make sure I would get my piece done before I moved out of state John is a true artist and awesome human being. He will work with you, listen to what you have in mind for your tattoo and spend the time to make sure it is right before putting ink to skin. I am truly blessed to have had the chance to meet John and spend 19 hours with him putting his talent to work on my skin. It will be hard to find a tattoo parlor and artist that can live up to the expectations and standards that John has set for me now. If you are in the Ashland area and are looking for a true tattoo artist you would must stop by and see John or Joe.
