We’ve reimagined a better ear-piercing experience to help you get the look you want, stress-free.
We offer ear piercings with needles (never piercing guns!) for better precision, safety and healing, as well as a wide assortment of cute, high-quality piercing jewelry options at a range of prices.
Super friendly staff. They made my daughter feel very comfortable for her first piercing. High quality product and service

Fantastic experience! I’ve had my ears pierced since childhood, and I got lazy about keeping jewelry in the holes. Over the years my right lobe hole partially closed up, and the staff here repierced it. It was virtually painless, and they were so friendly and efficient. I’ll be back for matching jewelry for the other ear!

Judina was awesome! Everyone was really nice :) I was nervous, got two cartilage piercings but honestly they didn’t really hurt, it reminded me of getting a shot. I got them done yesterday, no swelling or anything weird thus far. I have a few more piercings I’d like to get I will definitely go back :)
