I definitely recommend Born This Way for ear piercing. Four-ish years ago (at their previous…read morelocation) we had our daughter's ears pierced. She was about six at the time. We had a great experience then and we recently had another great experience at their newer Kingston Pike location. Online appointments are necessary but easy to reserve. You can read the bios and choose who you would like to work with and then choose an available appointment day and time. We chose to have our six year old's ears pierced here because of the cleanliness, friendliness and professionalism. It's important to note that if you're piercing your child's ears, go to their website and read it first. You need to bring a copy of the child's birth certificate and pay a reservation fee. The website provides lots of helpful information. Once we arrived for the appointment, I was impressed with the relaxed yet lovely setting. There are several display cases of various body jewelry. Merchandise is also available. And there are two seating areas. We were greeted immediately by a friendly employee, checked in and then we met with Barron who is a professional body piercer. He was very informative, patient and professional. The private piercing room was very clean and several steps were taken to ensure sterilization. The piercing process was efficient. Barron explained his process and followed up with aftercare information to ensure her new piercings healed correctly. Now, when it comes to piercing, you get what you pay for. The service and jewelry at Born This Way is more expensive than a say a business offering a piercing gun and nickel-free jewelry. But, Born This Way provides a safe, clean, welcoming environment. You work with a knowledgeable professional piercer and the jewelry is titanium and very good quality. We are very pleased with the whole experience and everyone we worked with at Born This Way.

She was knowledgeable, informative and made me feel completely at ease - everything needed to get an A++ from me. I've gotten multiple piercings and tattoos in my lifetime and I will have to say this is the best piercing experience I've ever had! Her aftercare instructions were marvelous as well, and I'm healing up quite nicely. Thanks Lizzy, if i'm ever in Springfield again and have an itch to get tattooed/pierced, i'll make sure to swing by!

I have not been tattooed by this shop yet, but I don't think I have ever had a more positive first…read moreencounter than I did today. I do have 12 tattoos from maybe 7 different artists, so I'm familiar with the process. I wish all shops treated their clients/potential clients the way I was treated. Very, very friendly, open and welcoming! I was not made to feel like I was a nuisance or insane because I had questions. I walked in hoping to speak with the artist Jami Owen and she took great care to listen to what I was looking for, even though she was consulting with a past client. She was very respectful and transparent and made me feel very comfortable. I strongly feel the way an artist talks to you on your first visit is indicative of how the tattoo process will go with them. It's only a matter of time before I book with Jami and this shop . I really liked the vibe of the shop and this artist, most visits lead me to never wanting to return, but this was such a breath of fresh air! Great job to ownership and staff, you doing it right!

Dale and Jackie ensure a clean, fun environment is available to all who enter the shop. Them as well as the other artists under their employ put the customers need first, paying the closest attention to detail and ensuring maximum comfort. 10/10 I can't recommend Mythical Markings enough. I will continue to return for all things tattoo and piercing related!

Ashlee is the coolest, really made me feel at home. All of the staff are that way. I am terrible with names or I would drop a few. I believe I have been working with the owner as well, I am not sure .. Anyways, these folks are artists. They are not some chop shop slinging ink. They truly care about their craft and it shows from their awesome personalities, sheer talent, and pride they show in their facility (it was VERY clean -- this is important). Artists have their own stations that do not co mingle with other clientele so your experience is more of a one on one personal experience with your artist. I can't say enough. I really can't. Check them out if you are thinking about inking! No disappointments here.
