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.

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!

I have been going to Mythical Markings for several years. I have been tattooed by multiple artists…read more My wife and daughter have also had several piercings done here. 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!

Well the needle goes in and I accidentally flinch a little bit. Clearly annoyed, my piercer told me she had to redo it because I moved. With tears in my eyes and blood trickling into my mouth, I leaned my head back while she re-pierced the hole. After a year, I had a little scar around my piercing, but I just tried to ignore it. Cut to another year later, and because of that scar, I'm still having tons of trouble with this piercing. I'm really frustrated because now I have many other piercings from different locations and I haven't had a single problem with any of them. I'm really disappointed and frustrated with this place :(

Caught them trying to pull a fast one. I made an appointment with Brad and left my $100 deposit…read more Not even two days later, I was getting my central AC unit serviced and was told it would have to be replaced immediately. I contacted Brad and told him I needed to cancel indefinitely (this was a week and a half before the appointment). He never said he worked on the design and then said it was shop policy that deposits are nonrefundable. I go to the website and screenshot the blurb about deposits and the word "nonrefundable" was nowhere to be found. THE NEXT DAY, THE WORD "NONREFUNDABLE"WAS ON THEIR WEBSITE IN BOLD LETTERS. Nice try, dude. I messaged the owner, Doc, and he gave me the same crap story, even when I pointed out that was never in writing on the website. That's how you run a business?! Avoid this place! Not only are they overpriced, they are incredibly sketchy and dishonest.
