Good to know before you book

  • Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
  • Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
  • Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.

If I could rate it zero I would, I went to get me smiley pierced and when I sat in the chair the lady was still eating a bag of chips while prepping for my piercing. She didn’t sanitize the area or even take the time to measure and make sure it was in the right position. I’ve had my smiley done 2 times before and NEVER did it bleed this bad; I woke up the next morning with a mouth full of blood constantly flowing and I took it out that same day. Needless to say they don’t have to worry about me going back. Ps ( I had to have a spit bottle for all the blood after I got it)

I’m truly upset and should’ve took heed to the reviews all over social media. The lady who does the piercing is extremely unprofessional why are you not marking the area BEFORE you pierce someone body like your supposed to do !?! We need to make sure it’s centered ! She took Less than 1 minute that’s a red flag why are you rushing .. my belly piercing is 1-2 inches off from my original correct hole that I had years ago I only removed them due to pregnancy. I went to you pick it we stick the first Time and I should’ve went back there they just have horrible hours! But Dagos yall need to find a better piercer.. ima let this close and go to real a professional yall keep that little 5 dollars 🤣 when she get an attitude readjustment maybe wil start leaving good reviews.

⭐ I Wouldn’t Trust Anyone Else for My Piercings! Amber has been doing my piercings for y Amber has been doing my piercings for years, and she’s hands down the best! I’ve seen a few reviews saying she’s “rude,” but honestly, she’s just professional and about her business. When you deal with the general public, you have to keep your composure — and Amber does that perfectly. I’ve seen people in the past take her kindness for weakness and even disrespect her, but she never lets it shake her. She stays focused, serious, and gets the job done right every time. I salute her because I couldn’t handle some of the chaos I’ve seen in that shop! Every piercing she’s done for me has been quick, thorough, and pain-free. She’s proudly carrying on her father’s legacy and doing an amazing job at it. May God continue to bless her, her father, and the entire Dago’s staff. 🙌🏾✨
