I just wanted to send a very special shoutout to Justin (piercer) who helped us on very short notice—my 9 year old had an earring that got enveloped by her ear! She was in serious pain and terrified. I was not prepared for this aspect of parenting. Justin spent well over a patient hour explaining and gently coaxing and waiting, often just waiting, for her to calm down enough for him to be able to even look at her ear. Apparently he’s a magician because two candy canes later we left with it safely removed and changed out. Y’all, and then after this, the kindest human he is only charged for a consult. I recognize that’s not something he can probably normally do but say all that to say this highly experienced professional also has a very kind heart and that makes us want to come back for all our piercing needs. I’m deathly afraid of needles so I won’t personally but think everyone else reading this should lol it should also be noted he was very well-versed and understanding of how to approach such a traumatic situation within the context of neurodiversity! I can’t thank him/y’all enough! And highly, highly recommend!

I’ve been getting two small tattoos on my arms removed. I’ve been working with Sarahanne, I’ve had five sessions and they’re already almost gone! She is so kind and has done such an amazing job. She explains everything, answers any questions, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The photos are the tattoo immediately after getting it and then the other is after only four sessions. You can see how light it’s gotten.

AMAZING! Justin was extremely knowledgeable and was patient with me as I asked him questions. I had a few older piercings from other places that weren't healing right and he helped me change them to better jewelery during my piercing appointment. The shop was beautiful and clean. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. I will always go back to Justin and recommend him to people in the area who want piercings.

Our family's trusted place for ear piercings and tattoos. Justin has pierced my daughter's ears several times and we both feel extremely comfortable with him, and all the employees there. Paul has been awesome to work with and is completing my sleeve. I can't say enough about the relaxed environment, the attention to detail, and the overall humanity of this shop. Highly recommend; 10/10!

I recently finished getting a large tattoo done by Paul and he did an amazing job! I had a portrait of my beloved dog Mary with flowers around her done on my leg/side of the calf. I also had an old smiley face tattoo on my ankle that he covered up with more roses and he incorporated it all very will with the whole tattoo. It turned out so beautiful and he truly captured my dog in the portrait. He was very nice and made sure I was comfortable through the whole process. The shop is also very clean and welcoming and everyone has been friendly. I'll definitely be back!
