    2nd & 3rd piercings.
    Alexandra G.

    Elvis did my 2nd & 3rd ear piercing! He was so careful with the placements and he was patient with my indecisiveness. It wasn't an easy job because my ears are asymmetrical AND I had my second hole done poorly by a different shop. This shop was clean & spacious, everyone wore a mask and it was a comfortable. The other workers doing tattoos were kind to, it was a relaxed environment.

    I came here after being recommended by a friend to Rey. He did my entire sleeve over the period of 10 months or so. The entire staff is awesome. All of the artists are extremely talented. I actually got excited to go each time because I knew it was going to be fun to see everyone. Reys work is amazing. I recommended 3 of my friends, all whom ended up going to him for work as well. If you're looking for a comfy environment to get solid work done, this is the place. Plan on getting a lot more done in the future as well. Here are some pics of his work on me :)

    Upon arrival to shop, temperature is taken. Clients are asked to wear masks and use hand sanitizer. There is social distancing between clients. All artists are wearing masks and gloves. Eli performed two piercings for me. He was extremely sweet and kind. I was nervous and he walked me through the piercing process and provided thorough instructions for aftercare. An outstanding experience and true example of customer satisfaction. Thanks!

    Got my first tattoo done here with Rey. We talked about anime the whole time. Need I say more?! Jokes aside, I had a really great experience. Very clean, professional, and they played great music. 10 out of 10, would get tatted again.

    So it's been a year now since I've gotten this tattoo. The lines are still as clear and solid as the day I got it. I constantly get compliments on it, and it is 100% the favorite of all my tattoos. To top it all off, the guy was so gentle that I took a whole nap while he was working. Sadly cannot remember his name, but he has mad skills.

    I was looking to get a quote from my grandpa for a while. I looked all over the internet for an artist or a shop. Honestly it was exhausting, luckily enough my friend recommenced Not For Nothing Tattoos. I went into their Instagram and say the various artist. I also crossed reference with yelp and noticed that the artist I was interested in, Natasha, got many praises within the Yelp community. So it was easy, I dm her through Instagram and was able to set everything. @turbo.tash was friendly and made the booking process so simple. When I went for the appointment the shop made me feel at home. The crew was very personable and easy to talk to, honestly making the experience better. I ended up scheduling an appointment for the next day to get tattoos with my Mum and I am planning on coming back for More. Not for Nothing Tattoos is THE place to go!!!!

    Destiny is the best. I am thrilled that I got my first tatt from her. It was worth the trip. I may make another one later on.

I made an appointment and paid the $100 reservation fee online. I was reminded several times of my appointment. There is a website and Ms. Smith has an Instagram account with many photos of her work. There are many 5-star reviews here on Yelp. I live in New Mexico, where piercings are done in tattoo parlors by rough-looking men. That wasn't the experience I wanted. Ms. Smith is thoroughly professional and competent. She spent time with me concerning my previous earlobe piercings, which had closed up over time. She went over the earrings choices with details about stones and white vs. yellow gold. I never felt rushed. I ended up purchasing two sets of lightning bolt earrings with tiny stones, one pair in each gold color. She was meticulous in positioning and marking my lobes. The actual piercing of both ears was quick and almost painless. I was given an instruction card detailing home care of the new piercings. Clinical Ear Piercing by Rachel Smith offers a very professional and comfortable client experience. I highly recommend this business.

Clean, quick and nice little selection of earrings. I wasn't sure my daughter was going to get the second ear pierced after the first one but after a lollipop was provided, she mustered the courage for ear #2. She walked out skipping and smiling and so excited to show everyone her pretty new earrings. Highly recommend!

While picking out jewelry the gentleman gave me great advice. Judina did my piercing and she was absolutely a delight. She instantly noticed that I possibly already had them pierced. She attempted to see if the holes were open before piercing (which on was). She could've ignored it and still charged me but only charged me for a jewelry change and a new piercing.

My daughter received a total of 3 piercings and I received one piercing - paid north of $700. The first time one of my daughter's piercings fell out, they fixed it with no questions asked, no documentation needed. It fell out again this morning, the person who helped us EVERY SINGLE TIME, asked for an original receipt before they put the piercing back in. We didn't have the original receipt and they only had the signed waivers (seriously?!?!?). The person who rang us out each time said the person who rang us out (you) must have not sent you the original receipt and the waivers aren't enough. We showed him the receipt where they fixed it a couple weeks ago and we weren't asked for documentation then and he still refused to perform the service without payment. We paid him the $65 and he told us to take it up with corporate (we will be) and kept saying how nice he was and we shouldn't be angry. The piercer had the nerve to want a tip after this interaction. Good luck with that! Niceness + incompetence doesn't = great customer service. Stay far away from this place.

I told both the piercer and manager upfront that I'm allergic to stainless steel and titanium. I was specifically assured that the bar, the part that actually goes through the ear, was solid 14 karat gold. It wasn't. It was stainless steel. I was also told the back was a screw back, but it was just a pop back. Weeks later, when my piercing wasn't healing, I had it removed and that's when I discovered the truth. For someone with metal allergies, this is a serious and potentially harmful. As for the manager -- he was rude when we walked in, didn't say hello and just asked if I had an appointment, but that paled in comparison to how he treated a grandmother who had come in excited to wait for her daughter and granddaughter for the little girl's very first ear piercing. He was really rude to her, and that's not okay. That's a memory-making moment for a family, and she deserved so much better than that.

When I got there the technician told me she can't use an earring that's not from them. I was happy to pay the $25 fee and I would have been glad to buy an earring from them. But they don't sell this type. Not even close. So it's not a competition issue; they don't even offer it. So a wasted trip because they had to stand on ceremony. Bye, Rowan. You're not the only game in town.
