    Saturn was extremely nice! Talked to me throughout the whole process once he seen how nervous I was. He was very professional I highly recommend going to him for your piercing needs! Plus he has $20 piercings everyday!

    Quick and great prices

    Edit: (7 years later) Finally came back to this place. As before. Super quick service and all piercings are 20$. Saturn is a pretty cool person, very knowledgable and provided witty and fun banter throughout the piercing process. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants piercings. Will be coming back soon!
