Horrible experience. Came here to get my mid helix pierced, now having to take it out due to it not even being pierced through the cartilage. It’s barely hanging on in the flap of my ear. A more experienced pierced said my ear will just start to push it out on its own if I don’t remove it. Would not recommend this place, or “piercer” Mike. He did not clean the piercing before or after and overcharged us, could tell he did not know what he was doing.

Would not recommend that anyone gets a piercing here. We had 2 piercings done. Mike was the only one in the shop as it was late but insisted that he could do them (said he’d only been piercing for 6 months). For both piercings, we wanted changes to the original placement & Mike did not remark the new placement. Literally just eyeballed it and shoved the needle through. He DID NOT CLEAN either of the piercings before/after. I would have said something before but the needle was through my ear before I even had a chance. We came in to get 4 piercings & left after 2 because the experience was so bad. I will be going to a credible piercer to have it looked at and hopefully get the jewelry changed as he also used the incorrect jewelry.
