A little bit of a wait to get my daughter’s industrial piercing, but worth it! While waiting, I decided to add on to my right shoulder tattoo (spontaneously), and Matthew and I worked together to design the add-on. He obviously did most of the design 😄 but it’s perfect! When my daughter was called in for her piercing, Isaac was a pro! Explained everything, rolled his eyes when she was being a drama queen (LOVED that lol).. but he was professional, had a great sense of humor and PATIENCE. I’d definitely recommend this place to locals and tourists!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My best friend was in town visiting from South Carolina. We talked about getting a best friend piercing. We found Sideshow Tattoo and Piercing and soon as we walked in we were so impressed with how clean and friendly they were! We decided on the rook piercing and we couldn’t be happier! Isaac who did our piercing was great! We 100% recommend Sideshow Tattoo and Piercing for all your piercing needs!! ✨
I’ve had my industrial bar and conch piercing done by Isaac and both experiences were phenomenal! He’s extremely professional, kind, and I’ve had zero complications with either or (despite the industrial being known to be difficult). Both my industrial and conch cost about $80 each including the jewelry I chose (cheapest ones) which I think is a very fair price for the quality service you’re getting. My industrial healed so well after just 6 months I didn’t even need to come back for a resize although my conch was just pierced yesterday!
