    If you've been researching for a good place with single needle...look no further. Worth the drive! They go over all the care instructions, and make parents feel at ease! Thank you for making my 3month's experience - Calming and Easy

    If you want your baby's ear pierced, I highly recommend this place! Our doctor suggested to find a legit ear piercing shop that uses needles instead of gun, and to avoid going to the mall for shops like Claire's. After my experience at Kathouse Tattto, I totally get why they would suggest those tips! Nicholas did a wonderful job with my 8 month old's piercing. He took his time explaining every steps prior to the actual piercing, and went over the after care instructions (provided us a printed handout as well!). As a parent, I felt so comforted and relieved that he's confident at his job and have years of experience. Of course the baby cried when the needle went in, but that was expected. She recovered pretty quickly afterward though! It's only been a few days but I don't see any more redness or signs of infection. FYI: bring a swaddle. The total cost will also include the earrings so there's no need for you to purchase jewelry for the baby ahead of time.

    Love it !!!!

    Very profesional!!! Extremely nice. Made us feel comfortable. Took my three month old Baby. Everything went perfectly fine. I highly recommend this place.

    We took a chance on getting our baby's ears pierced here and have been so happy we did. Nicolas, the owner, was extremely friendly and responsive from the moment of my first inquiry. I called on the business' one day off and he took my call to give me all the information I needed and got us scheduled for the next day. He is the only one that handles infant piercings and does it with such care - he took his time walking us through the process, what to expect, and care instructions before actually piercing her, which allowed us to focus and feel at ease. After piercing, she didn't have any irritation or swelling which was really great. She did have one earring fall out (happened to be on their closed day) and Nicolas came to the shop just for us to make sure we could get the earring back in before her piercing closed up. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us!

    Ears pierced
    Charissa M.

    We had our 5 month old baby's ears pierced here. Nick was amazing! He gave us very clear instructions from the moment I made the appointment to the moment we left. He made us feel at ease during the entire process. Very experienced and kind. We highly recommend!

    Chest piece

    Wanted a chest piece. After seeing Nicolas work I knew I could trust him. Killer lines and I wanted Japanese, which is one of his specialties. Did a few sits and LOVE it... and he makes sure everything is sterilized and clean. Highly recommend. These two pics are after my last sitting, although, if needed, I get to go back for a few touch ups for free when it's healed.

    Ear piercings

    Nicolas, the owner of the shop was amazing! He answered all of my questions and was very patient. He is very knowledgeable. I went in for my ear piercing, got two lobes pierced on both ears. I loved it and it wasn't painful at all. Also the place was extremely clean. Definitely will going back!

    Aracelie R.

    Nicolas did an amazing job piercing my 4 month old ears. He was patient and kept both me and my baby calm. 100% recommend and will definitely be coming back.

    Industrial piercing
    Joy A.

    Nick was awesome and did both my industrial and cartilage piercings. He was very informative, thorough, friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely come back.

    Right piercing.
    Nelly B.

    From the moment I sent a request with question Nicolas was very helpful and knowledgeable. Loved his vibe and how he treated us (like if we've known him for a long time). He thoroughly explained the after care process for my daughter's piercings. Nicolas answered every question I had and made me feel comfortable about the services we would receive. I was recommended to him by a friend and I'm so happy I chose to go with him. I am super happy with the results. Also, my daughter did cry but she got over it super quick and her piercing looks amazing!! His shop looked and smelled clean! Thank you Nicolas!!! I will be back soon!

    My daith piercing
    Kathy B.

    Nicholas did me and my friend's daith piercing. He was quick, sterile, and knowledgeable. It was painless and fast. I like that the price included jewelry. Their standard was surgical grade stainless steel. There street and lot parking. My old industrial was done here and my first tattoo was done here. The prices are very reasonable. That are currently by appointment only so call to set up an appointment.

    Got my second tattoo here last week. Nick is fantastic, and has consistently provided great service, and a memorable experience. He's personable, knowledgeable, and professional. I'll be back for my second piercing in his studio later this year. Could not recommend this place more!

    cool ass bat decorum.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

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 was impressed until I saw the way that they handled her hypoglycemic shock. She quite literally almost passed out. The only way that she was able to withstand was because I was there to physically tend to her as a healthcare worker. All the staff did was give us a coke, which helped, yes, but they just redirected us on the side to handle it on our own. No check-ups done until we were both able to finally stand up. What? My friend was able to go through the piercing, so yay! I want to rate this place higher because of my experience, but after hers, I cannot :/ Make sure to bring cash when you go here!
