I've been following Shorty around for 15 years now, he's just that great. I love that there was no one else in the shop when I arrived for my appointment, really gives an upscale/personal experience. The jewelry options are amazing, and Shorty is so thorough and gives details about every step. This is a place where you don't feel like they're trying to get you in and out. They care about doing your piercing correct and making sure you love it. I got my philtrum done last week and like usual, smooth sailing and minimal discomfort. The experience here is unmatched and worth every cent. An added bonus

I went in 2 weeks ago to get pierced by Shorty. The shop was extremely clean and all safety measures were followed. Shorty was very thorough in explaining everything from start to finish. He is very professional with such a caring and calming demeanor, he put all my fears to rest.

The staff are amazing very open minded and knowledgeable. They make the experience of getting a piercing smooth. They have a wide selection of jewelery to choose from. However, the jewelry is very very over priced...

Shorty is fantastic. I called last minute to buy a new nose stud and he was able to squeeze me in. He takes pride in his work and it shows. Definitely recommend for any piercing needs.

Monica was delightful. She set expectations of what was needed for a child's ears to be pierced (paperwork). Then made sure the child was addressed and spoken to throughout the whole process making her (the girl) feel comfortable, in control, and knew how to take care of the piercings at home. Very attentive. Clean shop and keeping very safe covid precautions.

Monica was my piercer and she did a stunning job! I'm in love with the jewelry and the placement! I got my other daith pierced by someone else 2 years ago and always wanted to get my other one done. When we evacuated from NOLA for this last hurricane I read the reviews from this shop and from her and drove an hour to get pierced by her. No regrets at all! Eased all my anxieties and walked me through her process.
Pain: 1/10 {less painful than the other side}
Healing: wonderfully and has helped my migraines so much! Thank you!!
