This time…read moreit was for my second daughter, who just turned one, and our first experience was with my oldest when she was 10 months old. We actually made the 3-hour drive just to come back, because our first experience three years ago was that amazing, and it was absolutely worth it all over again. From the moment you book your appointment to the second you walk through the door, you're treated with such warmth and care. The entire experience feels thoughtful, professional, and truly special. We visited their 3rd Street location and had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Ivy and Paola. They were so kind, patient, and incredible with our little one, it immediately put us at ease. Both of my daughters now have matching earrings, and as parents, we couldn't be happier. The quality, attention to detail, and overall experience are unmatched. You can tell they genuinely care about what they do. If you're looking for a place you can fully trust, especially for your little ones, this is it. I can't recommend them enough!

I just got my septum pierced with Bruce over the weekend and it was a wonderful experience…read more The pricing was extremely transparent and reasonable. I was really nervous after having a horrible first time septum piercing where the piercer pierced my septum crooked, hit the cartilage and then blamed my nose shape. I've wanted a cartilage for quite some time so I decided to get a second opinion and I'm really glad I did. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable and re-assuring. He took a look and told me I could probably get one but he would verify once he was able to check my nose. He was able to immediately determine the septum spot was higher up. The pain was extremely minimal. I really appreciated that Bruce walked me through every step of the process. I'll definitely be back.

Every time I've gone, I've been very pleased by the service!…read more Have gone in multiple times due to a potential infection (from piercings done somewhere else) or concern I have with a piercing, and every time, the staff were friendly and helpful, willing to make cordial conversation. Very professional and I've walked away with no infections. They're jewelry selection is beautiful, but unfortunately too pricey for me.

My girlfriends and I decided we wanted to get cartilage piercings on a whim, and she had such incredible reviews, and trust me, she did not disappoint. She's between locations at the moment because her old location is under construction, but the place was clean. All needles were in sterile packaging, as were the piercings. She wore gloves and gave us a spray with saline and high-quality essential oils that help decrease inflammation and prevent infection. It was pretty painless, she was so quick with the needle I barely felt it. I got three piercings done. She had such a great vibe, it was a fun experience, and cool to do with friends. If we decide to get any more, we will definitely get it here.

Just recommended another friend to Karma and realized I'd never left my own review. The lovely…read morefolks here did my septum piercing over two years ago and the healing process was effortless. I've never experienced any issues afterward, and the atmosphere in the shop was super welcoming and relaxing. The place is set back a little from Robertson, but they're super clear with directions and there is parking in their little cul-de-sac! Thanks for adorning my face with what has become my favorite piece of jewelry; I look forward to coming back!

Receptionist is friendly, the place is simple bright and clean…read more TY did my helix piercing and he's patient and supportive, I was nervous with getting my helix pierced. The process was smooth and fast, he confirmed the spots before I get pierced. I chose Studs because they offer flat-back screw for their earrings and use piercing needles manually instead of a piercing device. So the healing is better comparing to using a piercing gun. This place is definitely on the pricey side, especially their jewelries. I personally wouldn't get my jewellery here, I'm just here for the piercing and got a titanium stud for now. Will get my proper studs elsewhere.

Cute jewlery, but because of the people who work there, I won't be going back…read more I've been to this location about 3 times now for different piercings and hoping to have a different experience each time. However, the staff are unfriendly and seem to be "too cool" for everyone else. Feels like snobby high school popular girls who judge you and have better things to do with their time. I was asking help on which piercing to get, and they kept chatting amongst themselves despite my presence being known. Another time, I went in to get downsize, and the young woman said she'd only give it to me for free based on when I got pierced, but that she'd need to make a note otherwise the manager would go "what the hell", and she said this as if it were a huge inconvenience and my fault. A snobby and condescending attitude. I don't feel comfortable going back, seems like they just want your money. Not friendly or cordial, clearly just want to sell things.

I got my first tattoo about 2 years ago. I specifically wanted fine line work done and I had been…read moresearching around for fine line artists that fit my style and would work with me. I was actually referred to THS by multiple people so I looked into them and found Endry. His work really impressed me and my boyfriend who was also a tattoo artist back in the day. So I booked an appt to have a very simple roman numeral tattoo done under my collarbone. The booking process was actually very easy and the shop worked with me. There's a $200 minimum and there's a $100 deposit that you Venmo before the appointment is made. I honestly found the booking process super smooth and easy. If you can find it, there's metered parking right in front of the shop which is super convenient. I honestly love the vibe of this place. Endry was so kind and welcoming and made my first tattoo the best experience it could've been (also want to note I have a needle phobia so this is a legit compliment). I have since seen Endry multiple times for more extensive work. Endry is truly an incredible artist who really puts care and consideration into each piece. You can tell he really cares about his craft and I have so much respect for that. Working with him has been a pleasure and I look forward to my next session with him. I actually recently got my forearm done with a beautiful fine line floral wrap and I am still in awe at the photorealistic detail in the flowers. I found my artist and my place and I would 100% recommend going here whether it's your first or you're looking to continue on in your tattoo journey.

Honestly, just not a great Tattoo. I sent them the original picture and told the guy it doesn't…read moreneed to be exactly like that, we can style it a little bit. Showed him a few AI examples and he had me send him one that he/we thought looked cool. I didn't really put a ton of thought into it just figured "sure. Do your thing with it." I probably should've noticed the AI flaw in the stencil, but, as my regular artist pointed out, he definitely should have noticed, especially since he had the original photo. A little miscommunication but oh well. On top of that it's really really light so I'm going to have to have my normal artist fix it and touch it up. I wasn't even going to leave a review because it's partly my fault, and I don't really care that much, but like my normal artist pointed out, he's supposed to notice these kind of things. Then I realized the only reason I don't really care is because it's somewhere not normally visible. If it was on my arm I would be horrified. Other than that, they were cool, the booking process was easy, and reasonably priced. Also the shop was super clean which is important to me so 3-stars

I had such a great experience at Maria Tash, and I have to specifically shout out Reagan!…read more She was honestly amazing from start to finish. She was so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful without ever being pushy. I came in a little unsure of what I wanted, and she took the time to walk me through different options, styling ideas, and what would actually suit me best. You can tell she really knows her stuff, but also has a great eye. Everything she suggested felt very thoughtful and elevated, not just trying to sell something. She made the whole experience feel really comfortable and fun, which I feel like makes such a difference, especially when you're deciding on jewelry or piercings. If you go, definitely ask for Reagan because she's the absolute best

I requested a quote from several vendors and Allen was the first to reply and was super prompt with my follow up questions. At the shop, you can expect a sterile environment, but the vibes are wayyyy cool. Allen was thorough with his explanations and quelled any nerves that I had. He was very knowledgeable and his years of experience was comforting. I ended up with a gold 2mm stud and it looks great. Did it hurt? A little, but I feel like I get hurt when I get up from a long nap, so what do I know. Definitely would recommend this shop and Allen. He's great vibes, funny, super clean and very professional. He even laughed at all my jokes so that a plus for me. Fulfilled my midlife crisis goal.

My second time back at Aura Piercing & Fine Jewelry and I'm as pleased as ever…read more I came into the shop because some of my previously purchased jewelry from another retailer fell out and I lost the flat backs. I came into the shop as a Hail Mary just to see if they carried something that would fit the studs I already owned. Not only was Allen able to help me and replace the flat backs on my existing jewelry, he also informed me that my naval piercing that fell out months ago wasn't closed. Instead of having to re-pierce Allen advised me all I needed to do was buy or bring in jewelry and he'd insert it for me. I love the honesty and how helpful Allen was! His advice saved me some coin and I'm so grateful this isn't a money grabbing establishment. This is my now my go-to spot!

I just had my 20th and 21st piercings done at Body Electric and I have to say, Brian is hands-down…read morethe best piercer I've ever gone to. He was warm, patient and incredibly professional. He walked me through everything in such a calm, confident way that the whole experience felt easy. His technique is outstanding. This is the first time after all my piercings that I woke up the next day with absolutely no pain. ZERO! Both placements are perfect and you can see the care he puts into every detail. I've been pierced all over LA. Yes, Brian is on the pricier side, but you truly get what you pay for. The quality, precision and overall experience make it more than worth it. I won't go anywhere else. He also did my teen's belly piercing and it came out flawless. She even said her ears hurt more than her belly. If you have a child who wants their ears, nose or belly pierced, I would take them to Brian without hesitation. He's a parent himself and has a natural, easy way with kids that makes them feel comfortable right away. I'd recommend him to anyone, whether it's your first piercing or your twentieth. The jewelry selection is on point, and he even offered for us to come back so he could clean our jewelry for us. That's real five-star service. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
