I am super happy with the piercing I had gotten! I wanted the other side of my nose done and thought in spur of the moment I saw this shop since I’ve walked by it a few times, walked in and the girls were super nice and answered all my questions I had! The women then asked if I wanted to do it today, she has said it’s 45 with the jewelry included so I said yes obviously and it was the best 45 dollars plus the tip! I will definitely be coming back to do another piercing soon!

Perfect experience. Wonderful people, they answered all my questions and tolerated me calling multiple times to make sure the Piercer was in. Procedure only took about 5 minutes and I barely felt anything. The jewelery pinched more than the needle.

I took my child to get her earlobes pierced there recently. Front desk was pleasant, though it was a bit confusing as to whether there was a line or not as there is no waiting room and people just kind of standing around in front of the desk waiting to speak with an artist. My child was taken back right away, but I was not allowed to go back there with her. If she were younger or if this were her first piercing, this would've been a deal-breaker and despite her being a bit nervous upon hearing this, she felt that she was old enough and experienced enough getting pierced that she was okay with going back alone. The piercing area was behind a curtain, so we were technically still in the same room. Not ideal, though.The piercer was very professional and kind, and the end result looked quite good for the price, which was considerably less than I have spent in the past for piercings. I was actually quoted about $10 higher than I was charged, the difference which ended up going toward the tip anyway. As for the jewelry, there were very few choices, basically one in each metal, and none of them were flat back. For new ear piercings I have always preferred either flat back or barbell, since the jewelry is going to be in for about a year before it's changed (we wait until fully healed before a jewelry change, which is 10 months to 1.5 years depending on the person for non-nasal piercings). If it were possible to give half stars, I'd have rated this experience a 4.5, taking off half of a star for lack of space (room for a parent to go back w/ their kid) and lack of comfortable jewelry options, but since it's not possible, I won't be a jerk and take a whole star off of a rating just for some relatively minor issues that are personal preference and have zero to do with health, safety, or professionalism/customer service.

I recently had a tattoo of my Coko who crossed over the 🌈 Bridge put on my forearm. It came out beautiful! The staff are extremely friendly and Ray did an excellent job. I won't hesitate to recommend Bloodlines. Thanks again!

I walked in with my 7-year-old twin boys to get their ears pierced with Janet. She was so sweet to them and made sure they were comfortable the whole time. My 5-year-old boy was so excited for them and didn't want to miss out, so he decided to get his done as well. Being younger, he did not handle it as well and was very upset after the first ear was done. Janet never got frustrated or showed any irritation with my son who was VERY loud. She encouraged us to take him for a walk around while she took the next two people waiting and to come finish the other ear. When we got back with him, she was playful, sweet, and very positive with him. He was able to do the second ear without any issues. If you have nervous kids, I promise you, you have to take them to see Janet for their piercings. The shop was clean. The other young lady at the desk was great as well. Easy to talk to and very engaging with the kids. Bring your kids here! Janet gives off the best auntie vibes and you will not be disappointed.

Went to get my ears pierced here today and both girls at the front were very nice and straight forward about everything. I was a little nervous and they made me feel super comfortable. The piercer, I believe her name was Janet, talked to me through the process making me feel better about it. Glad I chose here because the price is affordable. I got my 2nd earlobe holes done, so you don’t get a choice of jewelry but I’d say it’s worth it for the price, accessibility, and ease.
