Brought my daughter (14) and wife in for piercing. Holly made our experience seamlessly perfect. From check in to out the door our experience was curated in a way only a real professional can do. Thank you Holly for taking such great care of us!

Charged $75 for a nostril piercing and didn't even do it right

Unfortunate writing this as I’ve had a good experience previously. I came in to get my ears pierced with my own jewelry, and the piercer started criticizing my jewelry saying that it wasn’t the right material, length, etc despite it being the exact material they listed on their website, and they started to try and sell me their own products claiming that they only pierce with jewelry from in store despite me getting an email stating that they are able to pierce with outside jewelry. Extremely rude customer service. She did not know her own business’s guidelines and refused to believe me when I said the jewelry (I bought!) was titanium. I would never recommend this shop to someone wanting to get reasonably priced piercings!

The staff here is the absolute best! The piercing team are second to none. Holly and Clover are amazing. Always welcoming and very helpful when trying to figure out how to style my piercings. Go see them for your piercing needs! You'll be glad you did.

Highly recommend this place! My wife and I walked in with designs for tattoos and Harry and Wes were awesome. It was my first tattoo and Wes was very thorough with explaining the process and aftercare. Everything was very clean, and we are both home with no pain at all! Very reasonable prices as well. We are so happy with the attention to detail and how they came out. We will definitely be coming back to them for our next ones!
