I had an amazing time getting pierced! I got 2 lower lobe piercings and a septum piercing. Cirby was super helpful in explaining all of my options for both piercing and jewelry types, answering all my questions. I'm pretty sure I have an allergic reaction to nickel, (or at least I did when I was younger), so she helped me pick a metal that is nickel free and looks awesome! Ari did my piercing and she was so composed.
She had a great system of breathing in and out that made all five piercings go extremely quickly and as painlessly as making holes in your body can (lol). She also was super helpful in explaining piercing maintenance so I'm excited to have my piercing heal!

I was stupid and pierced my nostril myself, and only had earrings. I came here and bought a nostril stud and exchanged it out for the price of the stud. Overall, the staff is friendly and I'm happy with the service. (Edit: I did the same thing with my septum, they helped me get the horseshoe in when I couldn't. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable)

I got my bridge and medussa done today and had a really great experience. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and my piercer Brittany did an amazing job. The placement and symmetry is perfect on both of them. The process itself was quick and relatively painless. Ive never recieved aftercare products from anywhere I've gotten pierced, but they also provided me with aftercare products! They definitely went above and beyond to make sure my experience would be a good one. Best place I've ever gotten piercings and jewelry from, and I'll definitely be back. Oh and they also have a great selection of jewelry as well.

All the staff are kind and amazing! It's worth the wait, and they have a great variety of jewelry that the MOA didn't have. Eren did a great job with my piercings, they were very gentle and kind throughout the whole process. I am definitely coming back just to have them do my piercings every time I want something new.

The reviews don't lie, DONT GO HERE. Absolutely horrible experience. I got two piercings done here and paid over $150 only to have one completely botched. She pierced them way to shallow/ tore my skin trying to pierce me. She let me walk out with a completely torn piercing I was so excited about and left me with no choice but to either take it out and waste my money or try to let it heal improperly. I messaged their customer service for a refund or help trying to heal my botched piercing and received no reply.
