    Casey is one of the most kindest piercer I’ve met. She helped pierce my nose and was so kind and gentle, talking to me the whole time to distract me from my nerves. She was done before the count of three and I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort. She did great on sanitizing everything and made sure I liked the outcome before I left. I definitely recommend her, she’s super sweet and I’ll definitely be coming back to get more piercings!

    I came in for double eyebrow piercings. I believe the piercer said her name was Crystal. She was absolutely lovely. Took her time with lining up the area and making sure everything was even and in a spot I liked as well. She was very gentle and made sure everything went smoothly. Made sure I felt comfortable and okay the ENTIRE time. I 100% recommend going to her. She made my experience 100/10!!
