Called a few days later cause I thought it was too swollen and needed a longer bar, came in to get checked and she seemed irritated that I didn't when all I wanted to do was make sure since I paid for this piercing and it's also prone to rejecting anyways lol I called again to figure out the size of bar I had so I could order some for when I'm healed. Didn't know the answer , couldn't help me , I felt embarrassed so I haven't tried to ask them anything since again, they are not welcoming. (Also the old lady with short grey hair was drinking a beer while doing tattoos lol)

They regularly post tattoo events and upcoming exhibits on their instagram. If you are a local artist, be sure to keep an eye out for showcases that you might be able to present your work in! They have different themes each time. My husband and I decided to purchase this awesome piece of art from a local artist himself, Adam Wentworth. We saw this piece from a previous art show "Words to Wonder" during the Star Wars "May the 4th Be With You" showing and totally loved it. The artist himself was there and we got to watch him live paint a Star Wars themed painting. The collection of art is from different artists and most are able to be purchased if interested. If you are into unique pieces of art, definitely check out one of the shows! As for the tattoos, I personally have not gotten one from them but from looking at the work as well as interacting with staff, the artists are skilled and professional. From what I understand, they no longer do piercings however you can get piercings a couple doors down. Definitely check this place out! :)

This is true care and artisty at play, more then just customer service this is family.

I took my daughter for a piercing here because I was told how nice this place was and that they…read moreoffered a variety of jewelry for me to change out my forward helix piercings. The first time we attempted to get pierced we were turned away for not having an appointment but I was directed to their website to get one set up. I had my daughter do the honors while I drove us home. A week or so later and about 40 minutes prior to our appointment are around the corner and I receive a reminder call where I was told that I'd need to have some form of ID for my minor daughter. That was going to be difficult as I was already down the street and had no idea but thank goodness I had just left her school orientation and had some paperwork with me. This place is so nice and clean inside. I love the color of the walls and the way it's set up inside. The staff are friendly and helpful. But the jewelry is so pricey! I picked out a gold bee for my Tragus and was quoted $230. I decided to wait on the new tragus jewelry and just switched out my 2 helix pieces for super small titanium diamond studs. It turns out that I also needed new posts since I had screw ins and this place offers pop ins so those were $15 each. All together for my daughters forward helix piercing and my jewelry my total was just over $200. Not too bad actually. It gets pricey when you start getting into the 14k gold pieces as I asked about a gold industrial bar and was told the balls are about $80 each and the bar around $230! The lady that pierced my daughter's ear was name Ivy and she was nice and knowledgeable! She gave us full instructions or aftercare and answered any questions we had. Definitely give this place a try especially if you're shopping around for new jewelry as they have a nice selection.

The person communicating with me was knowledgeable and patient enough to answer my questions/concerns. The place was a little chaotic with different tattoo artists in one place attending to their own customers/clients. There is, however, 2 people that would welcome and direct you where to go and that's very helpful. The person who did my piercing was very friendly and made sure to explain the process before, during and after (e.g. how to take care of my piercing so it heals properly). A couple of weeks later from the time I got my ear pierced, it got so swollen that my skin swallowed the stud and I had to pull it out last night. It might be a user error but that was so painful and I would not want to put myself through that pain again. LOL!

The piercer definitely has a direct, no-nonsense personality, which I could see might not be for everyone, but honestly it gave me confidence that he knows exactly what he's doing. He worked quickly and smoothly. I've seen piercings done before that seemed slow and uncomfortable, but this was the opposite. It was fast, precise, and over before my wife even had time to react. She had multiple piercings done, including a flat and a small constellation placement, and they turned out great. Everything looks really well balanced and thoughtfully placed, not random at all. What stood out to me was how thorough the aftercare instructions were. He made sure she understood exactly how to take care of them and even mentioned things like being careful while washing her hair, which we wouldn't have thought about. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend him. If you want someone experienced, efficient, and focused on doing it right, this is the kind of place you go.

It was coming out of the side of my babies earlobe and not straight through the back. Then they go on and try to tell us that it's because the earrings were to big for her which is why you could see the back of the earring while looking at her front faced. I personally looked at the earring myself & seen that she pierced it incorrectly and the was piercing from the front to the side of her lobe! They took out the piercing and said to let it heal for 3 days & return to get it pierced. HELL NO!!!! I told them to take out the other earring and asked for a refund. I can't even describe how furious I was!!!! WORST PLACE EVER!!!!! if I could give negative stars, I would
