    I absolutely love Maryanne she has been so amazing for all of my tattoo appointments and does such a good job! Eryn is so sweet and helpful for all of my piercings! I love them! I will continue to use them for any future appointments!!!

    Bethrah was amazing (and thanks to Randy for the assist!). Really went above and beyond to get me the exact piercing I wanted and made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Front desk staff was also great and the cost was so reasonable I couldn't believe it. Thanks for a great experience!

    I've got nothing but compliments for this place and the crew. Randy did an excellent job on my septum piercing, I sport this awesome ship in a bottle done by Klee and I have several fantastic pieces by Gabi. They are all super easy to talk to and to work with and they're all very informative about the processes and aftercare. A lot of talented artists and all around cool people. Including the very helpful people that work the counter. Super knowledgeable and personable people in that joint. No doubt. If you or a loved one is looking to get stabbed in a good way, look no further! A++!
