“Came to get my son and niece a piercing and Alaina was absolutely amazing from the time we came until we left. She was very welcoming and professional. She explained in great detail how to properly care for the piercings. I would definitely recommend her and will be back to visit.”
“I recently got a nose piercing for my birthday and I love it !! So far it has been healing good & I been using the solution that I purchased from the shop no problems as of right now. Definitely want to go back to get my other side piece. Shop was clean and the staff was very friendly and professional. Definitely visiting again. ***Update August 3rd*** my nose piercing is healing great I haven’t expecting any infection I clean it twice again honesty ready for my other side now **Update July 22 2025** My nose piercing has officially healed and I was able to change piercings with no problems it didn't even hurt once changed.”
