He pierced my ears quickly with very little pain and they are perfectly even. The prices were great as well - I paid $50 for my second lobe piercings (both the service and jewelry) but honestly, I would have paid more just because it was such a blast to talk to him. My friend paid $35 for her cartilage piercing, which is by far the best price for miles around. Luckily, none of us passed out, peed, or did both in quick succession. The shop was clean and the other staff were very friendly as well. Overall, we had so much fun and Joe did a great job with all of our piercings!

I had to close them and yesterday (a year later) they healed beautifully leaving no scars and also yesterday I finally got my ears pierced and for the first time ever I'm wearing normal earrings. I'm excited lol now I can wear all those beautiful earrings I've been saving for years once my ears heal again. I couldn't have picked a better person to do this. Thank you Zack For making this process easier than I thought and such a beautiful experience.

Dave was awesome, he was ready to roll soon as I walked in, after I did the usually paperwork we got to work.

I am head over boots with the finished product! The process of getting a tattoo, to me, is annoying, but once it's done it's so worth it! Jess banged out a pretty big top shoulder piece for me (even with breaks) in under 3 hours. She is a great conversationalist and made me feel comfortable and chill the whole time I was there. The whole team at Alter Ego is really nice and great to hang out with. It's been a month now; and my tattoo has healed beautifully! I made another appointment to get more work done in September! I can't wait to let Jess work more on my half sleeve in process! Wash your hands, and wear your mask and go get a freaking awesome tattoo from Jess, Adam or AJ at Alter Ego!
