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.
Highly recommend! Laos was so nice and made me feel comfortable. He made the entire experience so easy and the conch is super cute. Everyone in the store is friendly and helpful.

Edit: Increased the stars because of Laus! He’s the best, he took them out and two weeks later he did the fix. It was fairly pain free and zero blood/better placement. Photo is 15 min after. Book with Laus!! 10/10
Inexperienced piercer *not laus* pierced my double at the completely wrong angle (you can’t even see the diamond it’s sideways) all while staring directly at my inspo photos so she had a reference. It also bled a lot. I have 2 friends that also had piercings that weren’t done correctly 0/5 for this

I wish I could give Laos 10 stars!! He was SO amazing and made my piercing experience the best I’ve ever had!! I was super nervous about getting my nose pierced but he helped me relax and the breathing techniques were really helpful! The pain level was nowhere near what I thought it would be! I don’t even live in Austin but I want to go back to him for alllll my future piercings!!
