Good to know before you book

  • 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.
  • Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

I got my septum piercing done by bunz and it was the best experience ever!!! He said “ if you do it correctly, it doesn’t hurt “ and it didn’t at all. Like seriously no joke. It was less than 4 min and most of it was him getting the exact spot! , yes it was more than I planned to spend and the jewelry is separate and they don’t do outside jewelry, you buy from them but it’s worth it!!! And it’s was a cute vibe!!!! They were nice and didn’t make you feel uncomfortable, he took his time they explained EVERY THING to me in a way I understood … this pic was 2 weeks after it healed the video is from day of obviously

This place is hands down the best shop I've been in. I got my tragus done by Wes & a cover-up by Ricardo. They both were very knowledgeable in aftercare. The friendliness was awesome compared to other places. They didn't make me feel stupid or anything about my bad tattoos from the past. Judgment free zone for sure. I highly recommend this place. You will need an appointment for the tats. But the piercings were walk-in. (At least when I came in). Atmosphere was amazing. Music was definitely great if you are an 80s fan. I still have Stevie Nicks in my head. 😂😂 If you have an idea, Ricardo will definitely draw it up for you, and help you figure out placement. The colors are beautiful. Very hygienic. Go get tatted. You won't regret it. (The jewelry is a lil on the expensive side, but its quality 👌🏻) They also offer tattoo touch-ups if needed.

Super friendly staff!!! Francesca was INCREDIBLE and SUPER PATIENT!!!! I am an incredibly nervous person but as soon as I explained my problem to her she talked me through everything reassuring me that everything was going to be just fine. Long story short, my helix was embedding 😭 But again she was very nice and comforting ❤️ She was conversating with me while I waited for my turn explaining and answering all my concerns 😅 She made me feel very comfortable and she also held my hand during the procedure I had done which I truly appreciate🙏🏻 I was literally shaking but she was there talking and telling me it was almost over which really calmed me down 😅 So she is 💯👌🏻the sweetest!!! (Recommended a piercing pillow and saline spray also) Wes was the one who did the helix removal procedure and replaced with a new one, also 💯👌🏻. Super sweet and fast plus it didn't hurt as much as I thought 😅 Explained the entire problem to me as well 🙏🏻 gave me water and waited until I felt better to leave. Overall experience 💯💯💯💯 Will be going back to check my helix again and make sure it's healing properly. Definitely visit if your thinking of getting a piercing 🥳🥳
