Went in for a septum piercing and was super nervous but Chris was very nice and informative! Definitely going back and going to start recommending this shop!
I went to get my nostrils both sides and my dermal done and my partner got his tattoo done as well by eddie , and Chris did my piercings yesterday as well their both the most coolest laid back person you could meet and even if ur nervous he makes u feel comfortable...the pain was nothing because he made me feel safe in a way...as well this place the vibes are immaculate and the people are cool as shiii as well ❤️🩹...I totally recommend if u need piercings and tattoos.
I love my piercings done by Chris!! So cool chill and professional, and came back twice in one day and was fast and efficient. Super accommodating to me and my friends. Would pierce myself with Chris or Jocelyn again!!
UHHHH-MAZZIINNNGGGG EXPERIENCE ! I will definitely be going back. It was quick , clean and I had no issues and hardly felt any discomfort. Jocelyn provided top tier service , she was super patient and I can’t wait to get more piercings in the future.
I had a great experience.Jocelyn Delaney did me and my homegirl piercings and usually you go to a shop and it it’s really awkward and the piercers are real stuck up but she was awesome. We laughed made jokes and had a great time I highly recommend going to her or her husband.
