    Got my ear lobes pierced here by Nhi. It's my first time getting these done. Here there are good vibes and friendly service. They got titanium starters if you're worried about metal allergies. Price is reasonable. Highly recommend for piercings! Appointment scheduling is recommended as well so call before you go!

    My first time at 820 was an absolute blast! Nicki was willing to go above and beyond in everything, even for the simpler yet subtle things like tattoo placement so that it looks best on my arm. Her line work and shading techniques are very good imo, and I could feel the confidence in the way she executed things. She also changed the original design so that the dragon scales would look a LOT better (see pic)! Personality-wise, Nicki was very friendly and professional - she even offered me and my guest food for lunch during session breaks, and stayed positive until the very end of our 5-hour appointment. The studio was cozy enough, and it was wholesome seeing staff sharing meals and taking shots together :) I'm just very happy I chose 820 for my first big piece, and I'll definitely be back for more in the nearest future.

    Got a full sleeve and a cover-up done by Trung and absolutely killed it. The work is clean, detailed, and exactly what I wanted. Trung is insanely talented and made the whole process chill and enjoyable. The shop has such good vibes, and the convos made the sessions fly by. Can’t recommend this place enough.
