Really great experience here. Piercing plus jewelry was $50

Absolutely the best spot to take your baby for ear piercings. I called to make an appointment and…read morethe owner offered us to come in 30 minutes before the shop opens for us to be comfortable with our 4 month old baby. Shop is clean, spacious, nice parking. Before starting the process, we got a full walk through of what's going to happen and how to care for our babies piercing. If you're thinking of getting this done, please do not go to a mall or kiosk, they are not trained professionals! Make sure you find a reputable tattoo shop with experience in piercing babies, just like Kathouse!! We had the best experience, babies ears healed beautifully, process was smooth and easy. Definitely recommend coming here.

I was lucky enough to get pierced during their special pride event, June 13, 2026. The event…read moreoverall was very organized, thank you Queens of Needles! You sign up with a QR code, then they call your name when it's your turn. I arrived around 4pm and waited less than 20 minutes. I talked to some of the girls who were waiting to get tattooed and it seemed their wait was also minimal. Jassy (stabbedbyjassy on IG) did three of my piercings. I got a daith, vertical helix, and lobe. I completely trusted her judgement and I'm glad I did. She made the experience fast and painless. Then once I contacted her through IG for some last minute questions, she responded less than two days later. Overall, glad I came here for the event and looking forward to another piercing by Jassy once these heal. Also glad I saved some money by going during this special event, because they quoted me $75 for a helix and $85 for a daith, originally.

She was so kind and professional the entire time, made sure I was comfortable, and the piercing itself was done painlessly! When I mentioned wanting to possibly switch to a hoop one day, she went back to make sure the piercing spot was perfect for my future plans. Also, when I mentioned that I was a little dizzy post-piercing [my fault for not having eaten anything], she immediately had a capri sun in my hand, and made sure I was completely fine before leaving. All in all I could not have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be going back for future piercings!

The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I'm giving 4 stars for their customer service,…read morecleanliness, and responsiveness. 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.

Christina down there must not have communicated what she actually wanted to Darlene. I have been…read moregoing to Darlene (and following her from studio to studio) over the last 13 years. She always delivers and the healing process of her work is never a problem. I just got a new piece last night from her and it is my favorite of all the other 14 she's done! :D Sometimes we just don't pick the right artist for the style we want. Not a reason to give 1 star-- maybe know how to communicate better and shop around. Also, it's a lie about not letting you check. She is excellent at placing tattoos but ALWAYS asks you to check in the mirror. Christina's review sounds more like regret than Darlene's "Bad work".

She really listened to what I wanted, understood how important the tattoo was to me, and took the time to work through the details with me instead of making it feel rushed or routine. She was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. Because it was my first tattoo, I didn't know what to expect, but she made me feel completely comfortable and confident the whole time. She explained everything clearly, checked in with me, and made sure I was happy with every decision before moving forward. She's extremely talented, but just as importantly, she genuinely cares about the person and the meaning behind the work. I would absolutely recommend Agnes to anyone looking for someone skilled, patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making the experience personal.

She made me feel instantly at ease with her warm energy, professionalism, and kindness, which meant so much, especially in a tattoo setting where comfort really matters. She created such a positive atmosphere from the start and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. Agne was equally amazing throughout the entire process. She was so communicative, attentive, and reassuring every step of the way, which made me feel really taken care of. Her professionalism and ability to make everything feel calm, clear, and effortless truly stood out. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in giving a great experience, not just great service. Together, Vicky and Agne made such a wonderful team. Their energy, attention to detail, and overall customer care were exceptional. The whole experience felt professional, personal, and comfortable in the best way. I'm so grateful for how well I was treated and would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone looking for amazing service and a great vibe.

The purpose of this review is to describe my consultation experience with this shop/owner and…read moreexplain why it left me concerned about the communication and professionalism involved here. I'm sharing only what occurred and how I experienced it, without claiming to know anyone's intentions. For the past 4ish maybe 5 years, I've wanted to have work done by the owner of this shop. To get started, I had to complete a text consultation with someone other than the artist, which was new to me maybe I'm just too old school. The conversation initially seemed to be going well. We discussed my ideas, placement, and sizing, and then I was asked whether I wanted color. Since I'm Black and have limited experience with color tattoos, I explained that I was unsure how certain colors would appear on my skin. Shortly after disclosing that I was Black, I received this response: "Hi! I spoke to [the owner]. Unfortunately, this is not a project she's interested in." There was no explanation, constructive feedback, or attempt to suggest another direction. I even asked whether if they could recommend someone else(thinking someone else at the shop might be interested in the opportunity), but no response after that quote above. Considering the complete project would likely have cost more than $15,000 maybe even around 20, I expected a little more effort and professionalism from the consultation process. I had also been extremely flexible. Aside from a portrait, I was willing to give the artist creative freedom to interpret most of my ideas in her own style, as long as the overall concepts remained intact. That's why the immediate dismissal was confusing. Looking back, I also realized that I couldn't find a single tattoo on a Black client featured on the owner's Instagram. I hadn't thought much of that while I was simply admiring the artwork, but after this interaction, it stood out. I can only speak to what happened during my consultation, and I can't claim to know the owner's intentions. However, the timing and sudden shift in the conversation left me feeling deeply uncomfortable and wondering whether my skin tone influenced the decision. If the artist believed the designs wouldn't work or wouldn't work well on my complexion a professional explanation or an alternative suggestion would have gone a long way. Instead, I walked away feeling dismissed and unwelcome. It's disappointing because I remember the dope artist I originally followed saying in an interview, "I don't care if you want your boyfriend or girlfriend's name tattooed on your face , let's get this money!" Aside from the artwork, that open minded, client-focused attitude was a big part of why I wanted her work in the first place. Unfortunately, that wasn't the energy I received. Instead was left feeling sad and disappointed. At this point, "BeMore... Whatever the Artist Wants to Do" might be a more accurate name of the shop.

I highly recommend this tattoo shop! I commissioned Edison for a tattoo in June, and I was so happy…read morewith the outcome. He was really kind and open to feedback as he drafted the image leading up to our appointment. Although the tattoo took several hours to complete, having fun and deep conversations with Edison made time fly by.

Gosh. How do I begin this review? It's funny. I had been thinking about getting double piercings on…read moremy lobes for years now, and today I said "y'know what?, Today is the day." And I started looking up reviews for different places, and backstory: I have trauma from the last pierceshop from a ln expensive, and painful helix piercing experience in the past that I was at the very least slightly apprehensive of getting this done even though it's something I've been wanting for a while now. --Cut to looking at pictures of the different studio spaces and of the staff doing their thing. I saw a picture of the people who work at this studio as a large group, and remember saying to myself "this one." "These are my people" --Along comes Kai. So sweet. So comforting, and so confident in what she's doing, the whole affair felt like a casual chat with a friend (while you're getting pierced mind you) She was thorough in her desire for the piercings I got to look symmetrical, cared about my opinion before moving forward, and was able to switch off between being professional and casual seamlessly and exactly where I needed to feel comfortable about what we were doing. Kai thank you so much, and I will be back if the inspiration for another piercing strikes! You're the best.
