Monica was quick to reply to my email and was lovely and professional through the whole process. The shop is clean and has easy parking. I already want another tattoo after how seamlessly the process went. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Took my 2 daughters (16 & 17) here today to get their first non-ear piercings. One got their nose pierced, one got their eyebrow and I got my eyebrow redone…We had the pleasure of having Danny as our piercer. 10/10 experience. The girls are thrilled with their piercings. Danny is personable, professional & made it a pleasant experience. Will definitely be coming back for more! (Forgot to leave the tip on our way out!! Please excuse that blunder, we can come back in next time Danny’s working and give it to him!) Thank you!!

I personally wouldn’t recommend coming here. Danny keeps overcharging people… I was charged 25 bucks for removal and was scarred in the process of trying to get a new jewelry on the whole whole had clearly closed….
