    Me and my roommates got some piercings from John today and it was truly the best experience. I have a ton of piercings but he went into such good detail with everything and was very in depth. He was also just such a nice person, very easy to talk to and we all had a great time.

    I recently got my industrial piercing done by John, and I had a genuinely great experience. He’s clearly very knowledgeable and takes his work seriously, but he’s also kind, easy to talk to, and has a great sense of humor that made the whole process feel a lot more relaxed. What stood out most to me was his attention to detail and how carefully he approached everything. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time. If you're considering a piercing, I’d definitely recommend checking him out.

    Cheaper than some places for piercings but trustworthy. Their earrings are hypoallergenic but they aren't very secure and I've had two studs fall out and go missing, and they're $8 to replace. Would reccomend elsewhere for those.
