My bestie and I got piercings together a couple of months ago. Justin did both of our piercings and he was absolutely fantastic. Super chill vibe, explained everything from start to finish, and was quick with the needle. The jewelry choices were so cute and we were so glad to have come here. My friend got her double helix and I got my conch done. Good explanation of aftercare as well on top of a little goodie bag with directions on aftercare and even a cheat sheet on how different jewelry pieces come apart so you can change it when ready. Everyone in the shop was incredibly kind and very welcoming.
I am obsessed with Jamie! She added my husband’s birth flower to a floral piece on my arm that I originally started six years ago, and blended it so seamlessly you’d never know it wasn’t all done at the same time. Her energy is so relaxing and she made me feel so comfortable. We laughed a lot! The entire studio is a vibe for reals 🤍 I’m beyond happy with how my tattoo turned out and can’t wait to go back for my next piece!
First of all, Jamie is a gorgeous angel of pain. So there's that. I'm currently in the process of getting a large tattoo that is a fusion of pieces into a work of art that represents my children - this is THE most meaningful tattoo I will ever have (ahem - no pressure, Jamie). She has been incredible, understanding, professional, and meticulous. We've had 2 sessions so far and I am already obsessed with this piece. She is giving it so much more life than I could have even imagined. Beyond perfect in her artistic rendition of my requests. She is also the most gentle artist I've encountered and has a super warm personality. The folks at Mad Ethel's are pretty fun and welcoming. I even got some kisses today (the Hershey's ones). The shop is aesthetically a super cool space. And if you forget your ear buds, no worries. They gotchu homie. Shop music is on point.
