I got my ears pierced for 145 dollars
They never informed us on the pricing of the piercings and there was nothing in the shop to signify the prices, I feel it's bad business to not discuss prices before hand. My friend got a septum but it came out crooked, they took half of but still, even without the half of the septum would've been cheaper than the ear piercings
Ben is experienced and if you are experienced you'll probably enjoy this place but if your knew to getting pierced you'll probably have an experience like mine

My son just got a septum piercing here this evening. Benjamin is awesome! I highly recommend coming here for piercings as well as tattoos. Jim is an amazing tattoo artist. I'll definitely be going back for both.

I love going here for my tattoos, my tattoo artist Mike is amazing with doing my tattoos I been going to see him for months now. I can't wait to get more done here. It simple and easy with paying and getting in to have a tattoo done and there not a long month wait like other tattoos places I tried to go to. It very chill place too and I kinda like the environment too, got a couch and music. I was able to go on my birthday in oct And got the Halloween special, $51 for small tattoos. Most tattoos start at $90 plus +$5 if you use card to pay but overall nice healing with each tattoo I gotten from

I was visiting corpus and just happened to stop by forever art. it was a great decision. I live in Houston and drove all the way back for Jeremy to do my tattoo. I recommend everyone hit up Jeremy he is great at his job. I'm thinking about setting up a session with Jeremy for next weekend. that's how good he is. no one could ever do another tattoo on me unless it Jeremy. He is the best and I will continue to drive to corpus to get anything i need done. hit him up he will take care of you.

Jesse is the bomb. I've got three from him now. Got a little woozy and my new "vampire friend" who also works there helped me out with a cold rag. Friendly and very skilled, thanks y'all. Can't wait to come back and see y'all again.
