Best first experience for a piercing, Cami pierced my eyebrow and was very patient with me the whole way through. When I contacted Cami through instragram she responded promptly to get me in her schedule to get the piercing taken care of when i got it infected. She kept checking in with me through the past 2 months, helping me get it all sorted and healed to get the piercing put back in. i will definitely be coming back to this location and to Cami for my next piercings in the future. Wonderful service, and the vibes overall in the place were great. and most importantly everything was done cleanly, everything was sanitary.
Sylvia is the piercer I go to all the time. She is great about helping pick out jewelry and honest about when something may not work well with my skin/anatomy (discovered a possible allergy to sterling silver!) And came up with a different solution I was happy with :) when my current new piercings heal I will definitely go back to her for my next ones 🙏🏼
Really welcoming, easy forms to fill in. The guy that tattooed me was chatty and funny, the guy at reception was professional and inviting. A really great experience, I’d be more than happy to recommend and hopefully go again on another visit to NYC
