I have been getting piercings here for a while and have had no issues. I take good care of my piercings and the piercer is always friendly and communicative. Unfortunately, when I came in the other day for a snug (i didn’t know the name but I showed the artist a photo) at first he was going to give me an orbital and then he wouldn’t put it in the spot I wanted (i wanted it lower than he was placing the dot) which I would understand if he had explained to me that my anatomy wouldn’t work with where I wanted it, but he was just saying “i wouldn’t recommend it” but wouldn’t really have an answer when I asked why. He seemed perfectly friendly when we started the appointment, but was getting annoyed after I told him I didn’t want an orbital or to have it as high as he was drawing the mark. Later that same day, it got infected and was painful without even needing to touch it. I had to go to the ER to get antibiotic drops and not even that worked so I ended up just cutting it off with some pliers because it would’ve been too painful to twist off. This is all not even 5 days after the piercing. Again I take good care of my piercings and have never had an issue before (i currently have 12) I got the piercing in the afternoon (around 5) and just sat somewhere studying (im a student) I wasn’t touching it, I had sprayed some saline on it when I felt it start to get irritated (around 7ish) and cleaned with saline morning and night the next day (with saline soaked q-tipsI) and was in denial of an infection until I had to go to the ER from the constant pain 2 days after the initial piercing. It just really sucks because I loved going here partly because of the staff. If you’re piercer is being argumentative and making you uncomfortable during an appointment please just leave. It’s not worth risking getting an infection.

I don’t recommend this place at all , I’ve gone here before to get many piercings . Starting off, their prices too high for every piercing. They call themselves under new management, the guy at the front desk has a horrible attitude. I drove here once before and there was a sign on the door that said tattoos only no piercings. Imagine going somewhere to get a piercing, and turn back around to go home . What a waste of gas . The jewelry quality is horrible so if you are allergic to standard jewelry do not come here . I’ve gotten my daith, tragus , and rook all the same day , and all of them have gotten infected . Not to mention the guy that did my daith did it wrong . I’ve came to this place twice for a jewelry change , the first time I got my second holes and tried to get my daith changed , the guy mentioned that my jewelry was to small but still tried to put it in . Because it the jewelry not fitting he gave me a refund . I came back earlier today for the same thing a jewelry change with bigger jewelry. The guy was not able to do so because it was still to small . I went from a 8mm to a 10mm still to small . I asked for a refund because the jewelry didn’t get changed, his reply was no because he was all up in my ear , my reply was you did that last time and still gave me my money back . So no jewelry change and no refund . I will not be returning to this shop ever again . POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, POOR JEWELRY, POOR NEW MANAGEMENT, IMPROPER TECHNIQUE!!!!!!!!

Please be careful getting your ears pierced here some of the jewelry is fake and will break you out and not good for ear piercings. My daughter ear got infected and has a bump on it and the jewelry turned green with in 3 weeks . This shop has gone down hill in the past year . Unfortunately I had a bad experience. A wise person once said cheap isn’t always good. The jewelry was cheap they provided.
