Super cool people for piercing, just don't get anything advanced…read more tldr: the male piercer that works wednesday and thursday has an ego and used incorrect jewelry several times, eventually nearly causing me to have to go to the ER for a nesting/near embedded cheek piercing. long, reading: My current set up at this moment is : clown eyes, bridge, nostrils (one each side), septum, vert labret, and dahlias (most recent, got in jan 2026). I started with the nostrils and got 2 ladies that took care of me in every sense of the way, even showing me the best way to clean them. I was also lucky enough to have them do my clown eyes. It was great having a shared goal to get everything even, the piercer with me even bringing in other people to check. However, my issue started when I got the labret and bridge. For context, I got the labret out of town but it dramatically shifted to the left when healing so I removed it to get redone. When going back in a few months later, I am told they don't do those and I'll have to come back wednesday or thursday for the more experienced male piercer. I don't see him do anything sus until he grabs 2 curved barbells. While I do have knowledge that bridge are done with straight bars, I know it is common for older professionals to use the curve so I don't say anything. When sitting down, he examined my previous scar on my lip and started shaming the previous person (while i understand it still put a strange vibe). When I feel him put the dot i mention "if you're planning to line it up with my teeth it'll turn out like that again." He dismisses me and assures me that it looks even to him. Yes it looks even but, with future knowledge, i can tell you it's not. it is still slightly to the left but i really can't be bothered to spend the money to get it done a third time just for me. Strike one. When moving onto the bridge, i ask about the bar. as i assumed he reassured me they "used to do it this way all the time". it is now lopsided and, while this can't be entirely his fault, it still has yet to heal completely. I am considering healing it over and going somewhere else as i dearly need to be symmetrical. strike 2. The nightmare i shouldn't have bothered with was with my dahlias. I again am asked to wait for him as it's a delicate spot and can be botched easily. fine. on the day, i see him again grab 2 curved barbells. i think "surely those aren't for me, this is a cheek piercing even I know that cheeks swell." sure enoug, in go the curved bars. i really should've walked out. they looked good for about 1 day. once the swelling started it wasnt long before the ball on the inside was starting to tunnel. since i had gotten it done on thursday and this is the only place in a 20 mile radius willing to tackle dahlias, i am forced to wait it out. when going in wednesday the following week, i have a hole in my cheek and the other is catching up quick (keep in mind this is all near my mouth so i'm barely able to even talk without some pain). while i admit this may have been rude, i did say to the receptionist when signing in, "i told you guys this isn't the right bar and you didn't listen". she of course didn't relay this to the piercer and seemed rather offended that i'd question his methods at all.? to their credit, they changed the bars no charge but that was certainly strike 3 4 5 and 6 double play. if y'all read this and remember me, sorry not sorry i still have the long bars in the dahlias and it's been 6 months now. no teeth chipped like you were oh so afraid of.

I've had some difficult artists and experiences in the past with other shops and artists but they made it so effortless, professional, and my experience was so comfortable.

The manager and assistant manager and head of HR wasn't present (I am suspicious that it's all the same guy) but at least there were pictures of him...even in the restroom (iykyk).

Best of all Josh Shaw took our initial design ideas and turned them into literal works of art that helped tell a story for both my husband and I. It was my first tattoo in over 20 years and my husband's very first tattoo. The shop was pristine and Josh was so professional, personable, and let me just say his portfolio speaks for himself. I taught him out for his style and I am so pleased. The owner was there as well and he was great as well. This experience was memorable for multiple reasons, but the best part was that Josh helped tell our story. Thank you Shaw! I hope that our paths will cross again.

He was able to capture the softness I was hoping for and didn't try to steer me into something bigger or more elaborate as other artists have done in the past. I love that they are a custom shop and that even though this tattoo is basic, it still felt unique enough. He is true artist and clearly enjoys what he does. I was prepared for pain, especially at the lateral malleolus/ankle bone, but he was so gentle that it barely hurt. I also got a piercing and he was just as friendly and professional for that. Prices were decent and quality is on point. 100% recommended and I will DEFINITELY be back to see him for my next work.
