The place was very clean and the woman who pierced our daughter's ears was fabulous. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and super quick. She did a perfect job and we were in and out in less than 10 minutes. A little pricier than I would have liked, but worth it for a superior job and clean and sanitary place.

I recommend going here, absolute legendary work. Ask for Noah, he saw a vision on a tattoo cover up for me and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Great pricing and great work.

I recently got my septum pierced and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, everything was super professional, clean, and smooth. Jeremy made me feel completely comfortable, explaining each step and checking in the whole way through. I’m definitely coming back to do another one! Thank you!

Kat was the tattoo artist. She was kind and patient. Kat practiced cleanliness by changing the covering on each item that was exposed during the tattoo session, and explained that this is done after each session. I am pleased with my tattoo and plan on having her add more to it in the near future.

Good shit.I wish it cost less, but hell, I guess tattoos costs a lot nowadays. If it was like half off, no doubt, I'll be getting a bunch more. Next time I get a tattoo, I'll be going through. A friend that does tattoo work and can give me a great deal.
But this is a great tattoo shop. They do excellent work. You got the money, you can get a good tattoo. This tattoo cost me $270 or $275?

I got my bellybutton pierced by Katy and she did amazing! She checked to see if I had the right anatomy for it and advised me on what jewelry would be best for my comfort (in my case, a floating naval). She was sooo sweet and made the entire experience so comfortable for me and I love her oh so very much! I will be coming back to her for any future piercings! What a gem💎

Ruby was very personable and caring. My wife got a tattoo to represent our beloved bulldog who passed away from cancer.
Ruby listened to what my wife wanted and exceeded every expectation. Ruby made this piece of body art come to life with a memory that will last forever for my wife.
The tattoo parlor was clean, well lit, & friendly.
My wife and I highly recommend Ruby!!!

Prices were a bit higher compared to some other places my wife and I have been for piercings, but we figured, "You get what you pay for," so we decided to spend the extra and see how it worked out for our daughters.
Both of my daughters got piercings, and the technician was super patient, knowledgeable, and kind to them. My oldest was getting her septum pierced for her birthday, and she was a nervous wreck—trepidation is an understatement. She even fainted after the piercing was done and the ball was secured. The technician reacted quickly with smelling salts and remained calm and professional the entire time.
I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. The earrings my youngest daughter got have been doing well so far—this is our third attempt with a different material to avoid rejection, and so far, so good.
I can’t speak for the tattoo side of things, but as for the young woman who did my daughters’ piercings: 10/10.
