    I had such a great experience getting my septum piercing with Ericka Vinefog. She took the time to explain everything step by step, which really helped me feel calm and confident. She was extremely patient, kind, and professional, especially because my cousin and I were a bit indecisive, and she never made us feel rushed.

    Ericka answered all of our questions, explained the aftercare clearly, and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. You can truly tell she cares about her clients and wants them to have a positive experience. I’m very happy with my piercing and would absolutely recommend Ericka Vinefog to anyone thinking about getting a piercing!

    Its been a week since I got my double helix piercing done by Ericka and my ear has been healing nicely. Ericka is so informative and helped me decide which placement for my piercings was best for my ear anatomy. She also gave great advice on future piercing placements and the post piercing care. She also took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel super comfortable by walking me through the whole process. I'm coming back for my next one!

    I got my eyebrow pierced by Sylvia and I highly recommend her as your piercer for your next pricing. She is super sweet and patient, making sure you feel comfortable during the whole process. I was nervous but trusted her, she walked me through every step and explained everything very well. Book with Sylvia!! :) 💕
