I went to have new jewelry put in. Usually I wear nose studs, two on the same side, but wanted to switch to hoops. It was walk-ins only, but the wait was short, and the piercer, Kelsi, was nice enough though rather unprofessional. I was taken aback that she didn't measure my nostril to see what sizes I'd need, especially since my piercings are 20 years old and thus placed a small bit higher up than what's the standard more recently (still, everyone's nose is different, so why no sizing?). I soon discovered why she didn't measure: she has ONE size of hoop. One gauge, one diameter, two colors. The process was the worst I've ever experienced. She didn't clean my nostril, presumably because it was just inserting new jewelry into fully open holes and wasn't incurring a wound. Except I left there bleeding profusely--I mean, blood running down my face. It was quite painful because not only was the gauge wrong, but the diameter was also wrong, and she kept stabbing my septum trying to get them both in. I had to ice my face when I got home. When the swelling went down, it was clear that the diameter of the second hoop was way off and was digging into my nostril. It looked like what happens when you leave a rubber band on your wrist for too long and get that deep indentation. My daughter had to help me use two pairs of needle-nosed pliers to remove the hoop because it was digging so deeply into my nostril. Once it was removed, immediate relief. After measuring, turns out it's 2mm too small for the snuggest viable fit. That's $46 wasted and paid via Venmo, so there's no getting it back. If this is the quality of piercing service, I'd stay far away.
Gave my butterfly backs for my first piercings and they never healed right despite regular cleaning. Swelled to the point I was worried I couldn’t take them off, also tried selling me tea tree oil to heal a fresh piercing. Don’t come here
Amazing artist, the atmosphere is welcoming, everyone is very friendly. You can tell that everyone gets along very well with each other. The murals on the walls inside the shop are AMAZING! My favorite is the Avatar mural and Monsters Inc.
