Crooked, super thick jewelry (way thicker than needed for healing), rejected immediately. Then, against my better judgement I went in to get some new high nostril jewelry. The piercer refused to use a tool to put them in correctly and kept trying to jam the jewelry in causing lots of pain (they're fully healed). Then once she accepted she needed the tool, she put in the wrong size. A simple jewelry change was a nightmare and my high nostrils were irritated for a week. So unprofessional and atmosphere is not welcoming. I've gotten many piercings from different places and I promise you can find a safer option around here.

Review for Tattoo Artist Neno…read more I'm deeply disappointed with my experience with Neno. I chose him because I admired the work showcased on his page, but what I received was far from what I expected. I went in for a cover-up of an old elephant tattoo on my hand, and asked for a flower design. Unfortunately, the original tattoo was not covered up--it's clearly visible underneath the new flower. It looks like a flower tattooed on top of an elephant, which is not what a cover-up is supposed to be. To make things worse, my skin was overworked during the session. As someone with melanin-rich skin and experience with tattoos (this is my 17th), it's obvious he didn't know how to work with darker skin tones. The end result is harsh, uneven, and just looks bad. He even messaged me right after to say he wanted to touch it up to make it "look more realistic," which now feels like he already knew it didn't look right. I've tried reaching out with questions during the healing process, and he's only responded once. It feels like now that he's been paid, he's avoiding accountability. Honestly, he should have told me upfront if this work was outside his skillset or referred me to someone more experienced with dark skin. Instead, I'm left with a tattoo I hate--and now I have to spend even more money to either fix it or start removal. This was a painful and upsetting experience, and I'm sharing this to help others avoid going through the same

If you want any type of body jewelry that isn't Spencer's or Hot Topic garbage she has it! If you want that small business customer service and charm then shop with Heidi and her fiancé.

It was a random Thursday afternoon so it wasn't busy. One person ahead of me being helped, so I scanned to QR and filled out my info online while I waited 5-10 minutes. Hannah was super duper nice, gentle, and precise. Turned out my re-pierce was hardly that: she just needed to push a new needle through as it was mostly still open. I decided to also get a third piercing next to it, because why not. All in all it was quick and easy! I'll say however, this place is priceyyyy. I suppose you're getting the experience: beautiful storefront, fun and aesthetic, and piercing by registered nurses. The piercings themselves are a cost and then the jewelry is an additional price. I realize you don't want put cheap products in fresh-pierced holes but still, just too pricey. Also confusing pricing around the needle vs gun option. Most all of my other 10 piercings have been done at tattoo/body-piercing shops at a much, much lower rate and I've never had issues with them. Again, I think you're more so paying for the experience here. Lots of options here in terms of placement for piercings (lobe, upper lobe, helix, tragus, etc). And also lots of fun jewelry options on the wall! You have to get your piercing with a specific type, but if you were just coming in to shop for earrings, this is a good spot.

It turned out the nurse was able to put earrings in the existing holes so I could purchase earrings from the general retail space rather than the initial posts. The nurse put my earrings in for me and she was very nice. Be forewarned that Rowan is very expensive. My two sets of earrings were $65 total, which was fine. But my total for having a nurse put in new earrings was close to $140. Yikes!
