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.

This shop is worth a million stars ⭐️ truly!!! The absolute best experience ever! Evette was absolutely amazing! She pierced my girls ears and belly button and was so educated and even took a lot of time with us and educated us on everything! We will be forever customers for sure! Thank you for making a scary thing extremely special and fun!
Hands down best shop around! We were very happy to meet Evette and she was wonderful! Very kind, knowledgeable, professional yet personable! We will always be a customer here! Best piercing experience ever! No pain, EXTREMELY SANITARY, and the jewelry selection was amazing!
This is my favorite tattoo and piercing shop I’ve been to. They’re always super quick, extremely helpful and kind, and have good prices. I’ve gotten 3 piercings from Daniel; one piercing and my kitty fangs, and both have healed well. I’ve also gotten two tattoos from Nick; one of a semi colon and one of my late ferret’s paw print. He was cool during both of those sentimental tattoos and thanked me for letting him be the one to do them.
