    Excellent service, super knowledgeable. We had our kids ears pierced here and couldn’t recommend enough!

    I had an appointment for nose piercings, however, I really wanted to reopen my current piercings. I thought that would require a re-piercing. Gene (the piercer) informed me all I would need is the current holes stretched and not a piercing. He saved me money by adjusting my payment and jewelry selection. Additionally, he walked me through the pain and process. Overall, making my experience easy going. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a piercing or tattoo. The establishment was gave a modern Gothic vibe, which I loved.
