Ive gotten 9 piercings done here and had a great experience with every single one! Ive had both Meagan and Morgan pierce me and theyve always been so nice and sweet and always satisfy my impulsive piercing habits LOL. I did have to take out a tragus piercing but that was completely on me - I kept sleeping on it and wore earbuds so it never healed properly. I see other reviews about getting irritated piercings but thats not the piercers fault, thats yours for not taking care of it and/or not letting it heal properly. Ive never had a bad experience with all 9 of my piercings

Got my 9 year olds ears pierced. Everything was in sterile packages, gloves used, and markings confirmed by me (the parent). Staff was gentle and kind. Piercer name was Morgan!

I went there to get my cartilage pierced. Front desk was very short and talked to each other during the whole process. When I got it done she didnt clean my ear or disinfect anything at all. She never asked where I wanted it and had to look at it through the camera on my phone. I was there for less than a minute. I didnt get any instructions on how to clean it or that process. The fact that my ear wasnt cleaned before or after and I had to ask to get something to clean it myself was very odd and disappointing compared to my experiences at other shops. As soon as it was done the girl rushed

I got a couple piercings here over the last month (daith and second earlobe holes) and had a great experience with these guys. The piercers are Megan and Morgan and they also did the check in out front. They were polite, personable, answered all my questions and clearly knew their stuff. The shop was clean and I thought the prices were good. Megan did my actual piercing and I felt very comfortable with her. She had me in and out like it was nothing. I love the piercings and am super pleased with how well my daith healed/is healing. Got the earlobes yesterday but so far so good. I 100%, 10 out of

I went to this place too be pierced - shouldnt be too hard right? Well they pierced me, and within a month a get a bump on my nose. Again, not too weird right? Anything couldve happened. However Ive been pierced on my body a total of 5 times not including ears, and never had an issue before. I went in for advice, considering the piercer told me to do so. The woman at the front was short, seemed annoyed I was there, and very unhelpful. So I went in and asked what to do about this bump. She incorrectly diagnosed me with a keloid which she glanced at for a few seconds. She then recommended
