Got my nose pierced here and had the best experience.
1. Very easy to schedule the appointment online. Instructions to prepare for the appointment were very clear.
2. Upon arrival to the studio, the COVID-19 precautions were very well executed. As a medical provider, I felt completely safe in having my piercing done here. The studio only allowed one person in at a time to maintain social distancing (pre-scheduled appointments), everything was very clean, and the pre-piercing survey was very thorough!
3. The front desk receptionist was the friendliest person, answering all of my questions and

Lindsay was amazing. I was there to repeirce four of my earlobe piercings. She was able to stretch them back open pretty easily and saved us both a lot of time. She also did my helix piercing. Minimal aftercare and the jewelry they sell is great. Going back next week for a daith and nostril piercing. SO much better to get pierced by a pro!

Just got my ears pierced and the staff is super friendly and personable. The piercing was quick and easy. I will go back for any piercings I may have done. Jake was awesome, as well as the front desk.
