my and my family came here saturday, the 20th during a little deal the piercer Vana had going on. her options for earrings were surgical steel and a box full of “i can’t vouch for this, these belong to my apprentice”. ok. she said they haven’t had any problems so far, but understand that does not ease my nerves. surgical steel is an alloy that can have trace amounts of nickel that can irritate fresh and healed piercings. i appreciate her forwardness with the questions i asked about the jewelry but clearly i shouldve taken the lack of titanium jewelry as a sign to leave. i can’t speak on the tattoo artists or any other piercers in the shop but this was a major letdown. not only was the jewelry unprofessional but the piercings themselves. this is what she let one of my sisters leave with. crooked as hell on the right. getting it redone somewhere else.
Nice atmosphere. The girl was a little shaky and my piercings are uneven :( but she was very sweet. over all it was a good experience and it was very affordable I can't really complain. just a little sad my piercings arent symmetrical.
Jason was recommended and I'm so happy with the work. Very polite personable. Also I got a nose piercing, wasn't planning on it but she didn't hesitate and explained every step.
