Did additional double lobe piercings with her. Very nice & friendly as well. Is patient with my concerns & impatience for wanting piercings sooner than possible healing wise & looking over my choice of flatback earrings that work for the anatomy of my ears. Will be getting piercing #5 in a month after my current ones heal more! This place has a unique awesome vibe to it with cool music always playing. I like going there early to sit & chill there. I highly recommend coming here for your all your piercing needs! The Golden Poppy by Josh & Angel, a great husband/wife team, is the piercing biz inside The Dogfather Tattoo. While waiting, I see tatoo artists seated working on their drawings. From what I see, come here for tattoos too!

I am no stranger to Make Me Holey, and truly, thank goodness for that…read more Their professionalism, friendliness, and customer service is unmatched. The moment you walk in the door, you're greeted by at least 1 associate happy to help. Not sure what piercing or jewelry you want? Trust that a Make Me Holey team member will be there to provide suggestions. Is the cost high? Yes. But their determination to provide a good experience makes them so unique and the pricing worth it. Do you have a budget? Well feel free to share that with the associate and they'll still share some amazing pierces within your price range. Despite coming to this business (and their new location after the move from downtown SJ) multiple times with wonderful experiences, what pushed me to write this review today was the fact that I was unlucky enough to break my cartilage piece but lucky enough to save and keep it to bring it in. I came in with the broken piece and the associate explained that due to the jewelry company's bad customer service, they're no longer working with them. Instead of saying "too bad, there's nothing we can do", the associate worked with me to get credit that applied to a new piece. I feel like most shops would not provide any help in a situation like this. Already obsessed with their work, service, and inventory to begin with, this truly solidified me as a lifelong customer and champion of Make Me Holey.

Still the best. I went last month to get my navel done, but alas, my navel was deemed un-do-able…read more I really appreciate the fact that Karissa and her crew are professional enough to give you an honest answer about your anatomy, rather than lie about it to take your money even if they know it will not work. This is why you should ALWAYS go to licensed and APP professionals. So we talked over the rest of my list of wants, and came down to the last one I had a good anatomy for. So I ended up getting my septum done!! I was not super prepared (pro-tip, trim the nose hairs before you do this one or your pics of it freshly done will be scary) and I hadn't really thought about jewelry options for it. Karissa took her time with me and helped me pick out a pretty little captured bead that I was pretty sure I could live with while it healed. (I have the jewelry attention span of a ...oh looook a shiny new piece of jewelry....) As always, she was professional and explained the steps to me, and warned me what to expect during the first few weeks of healing. I am very happy with it, it's healing nicely, and I cannot wait to go, in September, and have the captured bead ring switched out for something else, once it's all the way healed. Thank you for another successful hole in my head, Karrisa!

Erica Rose: Professional, Talented, AMAZING! I have had…read moreseveral art pieces conducted by Erica Rose. She is the best tattoo artist I have ever worked with. Her professionalism and personality are astounding. She is wise beyond her years and truly a perfectionist with her skills. I am grateful for every session I have booked with this young woman who is so talented, I am grateful to be her client. I will be back for more amazing art work! PS. She would NEVER yell at a client as stated above by "Carl" who must be an absolute creep, it would take something extreme for Erica to "yell" at a client. I have known this young artist for years, have moved shops with her and that? Is just a flat out lie.

Erica: Talented. Catty…read more I came for a Bible verse tattoo and a secondary tattoo I wasn't set on. After some back-and-forth, she refused to do my Bible verse tattoo and encourage me to do my secondary tattoo which I chose to be a sword. She refused to do my lettering because she said it was too small, but as you can see by the tattoo in my arm, she can easily draw small lettering. So that was odd. Then, when it came to the placement of the tattoo, because of the location on my shoulder, the tattoo was not straight. She actually yelled at me because I wasn't satisfied when the stencil went on my arm. The other guy stepped in and he was able to correct the issue by using a ruler and measuring the distance from my existing tattoo to get the evenly spaced apart tattoos. This was odd. Once the placement was good to go, the tattoo experience was good. Due to the customer service skills of the other guy in the shop, I asked Erika to give me his info so I can have him do my Bible verse tattoo. I sent him a message on Instagram, but he ignored me and hasn't responded. I would not recommend the shop. A tattoo is a permanent piece of art on your body, for the most part. If someone yells at you because you're not happy with the tattoo or the placement of it, it is simply bad customer service. I paid her above asking, a good tip and also paid her $100 because I missed a previous appointment. Time is valuable. I anticipate Erica will grow her patience and customer service skills. She will be the complete package when this happens. But if all you care about is an extremely talented artist and tattoo professional, then Erika is your person.

I had a really good experience here last week. I never knew that tattoo parlors that use piercing…read moreneedles were a lot better than the piercing guns that are used at mall jewelry stores. I guess that's why all of my previous piercings never healed properly and closed up. I wanted to get them re-pierced and after researching tattoo parlors in the area, I chose Sacred Souls because of all of the high reviews. I made an appointment online for a 30 minute ear piercing session, but I did not specify that I wanted 5 piercings (4 lobe/1 helix). Sin was gracious enough to accommodate my request. He explained their full process and showed me their starter jewelry. Once I picked out what I wanted, he took me to their piercing area in the back which looked clean, sterile, and well-organized. The room would look just like a doctor's office if it wasn't for the fun decor. The piercing itself kind of turned into a breathing/meditation session. Sin gave me a squish ball to squeeze and then his voice became calm and soothing. He gently advised me to take 2 deep breaths as he went forward with each piercing and these were not too painful. I was at a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Afterwards, Sin went over the after-care instructions. Despite my mistake with the scheduling, I never felt rushed during my appointment. It is obvious that Sin is knowledgeable and takes great care with the whole process and that safety and cleanliness are important to him. The gal at the front register was friendly and helpful as well. I felt like the pricing for the multiple piercings and starter jewelry was fair. I appreciated receiving a follow-up text the next day and so far, everything seems to be healing well. If you want to get your ears pierced, don't go to the mall like I did before. Definitely check out Sacred Souls.

First time at Sacred Souls. Perfect experience!…read moreBooking an appointment online was a breeze. Sin was there to greet me as soon as I walked in. He was incredibly professional and walked me through the entire ear piercing process, helping me pick out the perfect earring, and answering all my questions. The actual piercing was super quick and painless, which really speaks to Sin's expertise. I'm definitely coming back for any future ear piercings.

This review is long overdue!! I seriously can't recommend Orbit Skates & Boutique enough! I reached…read moreout to so many piercing shops trying to find a place that was affordable, clean, & sterile, & Orbit had the best prices by far. They include free jewelry with every piercing (or you can upgrade for a little charge) & they have so many different Jewelry options to choose from. The staff was super friendly & made me feel welcome the second I walked in. The vibe was amazing, & the fact that they're walk-in friendly makes it even better. Whether you're looking to get pierced, shop for jewelry, or pick up skateboard gear, Orbit is definitely the place to-go !! My birthday is in a week, so I'll definitely be back to get another piercing !!

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE!…read more A little kiosk located on the first floor near macy's. Took my baby to get her ears pierced and the lady did a horrible job. We should've known that if she could not even mark our baby's earlobes evenly when she wasn't moving then there is no way she could do a proper ear pierce. My heart broke when she pulled off the gun and the earring was hanging on the side of my baby's ear. All they care about is selling their products (most of which are poor quality) and do not give a damn about the piercing portion. Listen to the reviews and do not go to this place for anything!

They were both very courteous and helpful - answered all the questions I had about the different types of earrings, lobe piercing & cartilege piercings. One of the reasons I picked this place was because they had numbing cream available! They applied numbing cream on my daughter and as we waited, I was inspired to also get a cartilage piercing for myself. Selena was patient, showing us where the earring placement would be and the entire process was fast and easy. No tears were shed (for my daughter & myself) and they gave us a post piercing kit. We walked out super happy with our new piercings. Highly recommend anyone looking for piercings! They were sanitary, safe and experienced so I feel confident knowing my piercings will last long without infection with proper care.

Great service and friendly staff. They made it a very good experience for my 2 year old.read more
