For the 7th time my piercings closed up after countless visits to other piercing vendors. Came here…read moreon a Saturday and I had to wait a little over 30 minutes to get my piercings. Trey was very personable and listened to my concerns of getting my earlobes re-pierced. He made sure I was content with my piercings and gave me after-care advices before I left. Not to mention the piercing was painless and I have low pain tolerance. It was pricey though, but for the amount of times I dealt with unprofessional piercers and my piercings closing up or getting infected - this piercer's skill and knowledge made it worth it. I wish they had a sign that lists the price for different piercings - and warned me that each individual earring is a separate price cuz I got a pair and was a little blown away by the total cost of the piercing and earrings - but you can always ask the people in front to make sure. Hopefully my piercings don't close up this time.

I had been going to this place for a while; it is currently under new management, and this is meant…read moreto be an honest review of my recent experience. I went in to get my second holes repierced. They were done over 10 years ago and were done too low on my earlobe by the original piercer so I asked to have them higher up than the original piercings. The piercer marked my ears and I said, "I still think they're too low," but the piercer said, "it just looks low in the marking but they won't look that low." Ok... He pierced the right one first, which he then kept fussing with because he thought the strap of my mask was pushing the jewelry in a weird direction (not sure why he let me keep the strap over my ears - I said many times I could remove the strap and hold the mask in place while he pierced me and he refused). He then pierced the left one. And guess what! Still too low. I left confused as to how the very piercings I was trying to fix were suffering from the same problem when I specifically went in with a mission to have them higher. So I called the next day and explained how I didn't like them and he told me, "I thought you said you wanted the new piercing to cover the original holes; that's why I pierced them so close." What! I did not say this! My boyfriend was there the entire time and also verified that I did not say this! When I got back to the shop, the piercer did not bring this back up and just said basically, yeah, I guess you were right about not liking the placement yesterday - I was glad he acknowledged that. He took out the piercings from the day before and repierced them right above. I'll admit I was kind of surprised he went ahead and did the piercings again; I thought for sure they would make me wait for the ones he just did to close up. I'm no expert, though, & this is just my opinion. So now, here I am with what I'm almost positive is an infected piercing in my right ear, and a very bloody piercing on my left (I have 12 other piercings and none of them have bled as much as these two). Ultimately, I'm happy my piercings are fixed and that represents the only star this place will get from me, and this is the end of my rant. I hope that now I have gotten all of this off my chest I may be able to stop thinking about how annoyed I am. Thanks for your time. I will spare you the bloody photos and just show you photos from the placement. Edited to add a note to whoever is in charge at this establishment: I recommend that you get a new piercing chair... the ripped up chair in what's supposed to be a pristine, clean piercing area is not a good look.

Solid little booth to get something pierced. I've been with a friend to get our cartilages done and…read morerecommended it to my sister for her cartilage as well. All three of us are good to go. Service was fast, informative, and super sterile. Our piercer wore new disposable gloves, pierced our ears with sterile tools new from packaging. He took the time to mark the spot and explain certain intricacies to us (why we had to start with a slightly bigger hoop than we wanted due to possible swelling). My sister had to get a stud, he informed her that cartilages start off with studs before hoops. Not sure if something had changed since both me and my friend went ahead with hoops. $25/per hole for sterile hand piercing. You're taken into a small back room to get the piercing done. We also purchased some cute plain and slender hoops to change out after the piercing heals up. He gives you a business card at the end that allows you to get a piercing free after a certain amount! Solid place, solid price, clean, haven't had any issues! Posting this business & Yelp review for other people like me who have to Yelp a business (esp a piercing place) before heading over. Don't sweat it, make sure everything is new out of packaging, communicate what you're looking for, ask questions, take care of your piercing properly, and you'll be just fine!

His phone had so much dirt on it and still proceeded to touch all of his piercing tools and napkins he laid out to help take out the piercing. DISGUSTING!!!!

I'm very uncomfortable at this point so I sit down and wait and he takes the bar out, and proceeds to tell me that I have to give him $20 for him taking my piercing out when he said he would help me.

Natasha at the front offered us coffees right away, and they even showed me a heater to stow my soaking wet socks and shoes (the weather was disgusting and my feet were frozen). Eric was talkative and friendly, a great person to put you at ease and make sure you're as comfortable as possible. He took his time to make 100% sure that every single detail was how we liked it, checking and re-checking so there would be no mistakes. He's incredibly detail-oriented...he noticed right away that the first needle he opened wasn't perfect and made sure he was using only the absolute best on my tattoo. When I mentioned that I'd hurt my back a few days prior, he went out of his way to put me in the most comfortable position possible. He's a wonderful person, and a fantastic artist. The shop was clean, warm (very important on a nasty, slushy day!), well-lit, and organized. I can't recommend Andromeda and Eric enough!
