Stopped by today and had a GREAT experience. I was pierced by Jo and she did an amazing job. I appreciated how she took her time during the consult and gave me different options to consider before making the decision. The overall experience here was great! The setup is very clean and the rest of the staff was nice! I will definitely be back!
