    I am beyond furious with the way Pierced Hearts handled my sister's navel piercing. From the start,…read morethis experience has been a disaster due to sheer negligence and a complete lack of accountability. My sister clearly explained to the piercer, Jaime, that she has a very flat belly button and specifically asked if the standard navel jewelry would be appropriate. He confidently said yes -- and we trusted his professional judgment. That trust was completely misplaced. As time passed, the jewelry began to embed itself into her skin, which should never have happened with the right jewelry in the first place. We returned to the shop, and Adam helped change it to a floating navel piercing -- the type she should have received from day one. He apologized and even took a photo of the damage because it was obvious something had gone terribly wrong. But the damage had already been done. Within a week, she developed a severe infection -- one that urgent care later confirmed was likely due to the original jewelry creating a gaping wound that never healed properly. Despite following aftercare instructions to the letter, she ended up on two antibiotics and hydrocodone just to manage the pain. Yet when we returned to the shop a third time to request a refund and share what she was going through, the staff were incredibly dismissive and refused to take any responsibility. They immediately shifted blame, accusing her of neglecting aftercare, even though we were meticulous. No effort was made to offer a solution, express genuine concern, or show even the slightest empathy. Just said "well, do you want to get it pierced again?!" ... no! Her belly button area now is completely bruised and mangled because of this place. We will never be coming back here again. To make matters worse, the owner was outright disrespectful and condescending over the phone. When we told him that medical professionals advised removing the piercing and draining the infection, her arrogant response was, "Why would they do that?!" as if she knew better than actual doctors. That tone alone spoke volumes about how little they care once they have your money. We asked for a refund because of all the trouble we've been through after the negligence of the first piercer, now having to pay for urgent care visits and medication. I chose this shop based on their glowing reviews, but let me be clear: if you're considering any body piercing here, don't. They might be decent with ear piercings or tattoos -- but when it comes to body piercings, especially anything more complex, they are careless, unprofessional, and utterly unwilling to take accountability when something goes wrong. My sister went in for a simple piercing and walked away in physical pain and emotional distress, and not once did they offer real help, only excuses. This shop failed her. Completely.

He drew up the tattoo in record time & was kind and attentive for the whole appointment! Such a cute and intimate little shop set up in a perfect way to utilize the space, will definitely reccomend my friends to come here for their own vacay tats!!​

    Don't let the 1 and 2-star reviews fool you. Look closer and you'll notice a pattern: nearly every…read morenegative review comes from walk-in clients, and that context matters. Walk-ins are the hardest customers for any tattoo shop to serve well. An artist can't just pick up a machine and go. They need to conceptualize a design, sketch it out, make revisions, and cut a stencil, all while managing their existing appointments. Complaining that you didn't get a callback within 4 hours on a walk-in basis isn't a reflection of the shop's quality. It's a reflection of unrealistic expectations. As for the pricing complaints: quality tattooing costs what it costs. If the price is the issue, that's a mismatch, not a flaw. I've worked with owner Jimmy for over 20 years across multiple shops. I've personally referred dozens of people to him, including my own son. Not one complaint. If you're considering this shop, here's how to set yourself up for a great experience: - Come with a plan. Book an appointment, not a walk-in. - Bring references. The more detail you give your artist, the better the result. - Don't rush. This is permanent. - Find an artist whose style fits yours. A tattoo is a commitment. Treat it like one. This shop delivers. Come prepared and you'll see it for yourself.

John is informative and great to work with, and has corrected previous piercings for me as well. I've had friends come here too and even my super sensitive pals piercings healed great. The jewelry on hand is amazing with cheaper options available. The $$$ jewelry is truly top notch, you're getting your money's worth. Plotting my next appointment!

    I had a similar experience to most people - my piercer, John, has comically bad customer service. I…read morehave was rushed to decide my piercing placement of two helix's, all while being belittled for "poor" placement of a helix on my other ear. When I asked what they did wrong out of curiosity, he berated me for not seeing that "it has to be perpendicular - see this? is this perpendicular? no. it's not perpendicular." You do not speak to customers like that! I wanted to cancel my appointment, but felt intimidated and went through with it. 2 stars because technically they provided the correct service. It is now a few days later, and both of my piercings that he did have been bleeding profusely - I made sure not to sleep on them and have not touched them. But I was making lunch and felt blood trickling down my neck from my piercings!

    I wanted a lion in either my knee or chest. I wasn't sure at all. Contacted a few shops and Ying…read moreresponded fast and communicated fast when I had follow up questions via yelp messaging. They offered a free consult which few shops do. I go there they had a screen of all different lion tattoo variations. A specific program for tattooing. Very cool. They printed out a few I liked and we three discussed pros and cons of size and placement. Ying, myself, and Connor the tattoo artist. I embarrassingly had to reschedule a couple sessions and arrived late for my first one (100% my fault) and they established with great kindness a boundary around time while giving me the full time of tattooing. They could have charged me the hour I was late (bad communication on my part) they did not. Now don't take that as permission to do what I did cause you might (and should) be charged, but I share this to show how friendly, understanding, and at the same time professional they are. Took two sessions a total of 7 1/2 hrs I think. Second session I was on time ;) Connor starts a stop watch when he begins and shows you. That's when the charging begins , and stops the stop watch immediately when he's done , and shows you as well. I thought that was very cool of him and all ships should do that. The place was sparkling clean, organized, and worth Connors time. He's an amazing artist.

The artist is very skilled, and the tattoo I asked him to make was far below his talents. But that's what I wanted--something simple, elegant to show my religious preference. Very satisfied overall and not terribly pricey. I imagine the more intricate, the more expensive, but that's not me--yet. Absolutely recommended. At least six comfortable parking spots on the south side of NE 120th street just past the Chevron station. Cute little homey place, too. I love it! A+++
