Got my double helix done here. The piercer, Stephanie was absolutely amazing. Very educational, very kind, made the experience super fun and comfortable. Will be coming back for more!!
Amazing shop to get work done and just all around chill place to be at. Everyone is kind and welcoming reason I always go back to get more ink done. Great place for your first tattoo highly recommended it. As well ask for Angie she can do basically anything highly trusted artist.
defo worth the hype!! i’ve been hearing ab this place since i was like 13 from people in the know and it’s the fact that they have so many cute, AFFORDABLE designs and care abt local queer communities and acts of resistance that made me come here for my first tattoo!! they sell some cute merch and designs that dont just support the artists and piercers but also look super cute. i live in sa now but will try to stop by for a piercing or whenever i can!! they do sales pretty often so just go now what r u waiting for???!
I recently got my 2nd earlobe piercings done with Steph and Dex, and they were amazing with them. I told them about some previous negative piercing experiences I’ve had and that I was nervous, but they quickly reassured me and talked me through the whole process. They were cleanly, thorough, and made sure the whole process was as smooth as possible. I really appreciated how friendly and kind they were, as it made me feel more relaxed and confident in asking them questions. I will definitely be back to them for future piercings!❤️
I loved this place! The piercer, Steph, was super friendly (and cool! ). She explained essential things about my piercing and was incredibly professional. The place where you get the piercing is clean and in a separate room. Everyone was super kind, and I would recommend this place if you plan on getting your first piercing!
