What customers said about ear piercing
I had my helix piercing done today with Kiki, and it was the most awesome and welcoming experience. Was a bit nervous, but it was quick and painless. Clean, fast, and funny. Definitely know what they are doing, and I would highly recommend them!!
My sister (16) and niece (7) came here to get piercings for their birthdays. I had specifically looked for a woman to pierce them as I figured it would help soothe their anxiety a bit, and China was just the woman for the job! She was kind and patient with them and made them feel at ease. It has been 2 months since…
Took our 4 month old to get her ears pierced! The piercer was so kind, patient, and calm. She answered all our questions, and was so sweet to our daughter 🤍 I was worried about placement and she didn’t mind doing it over to make sure it was perfect. 100% recommend! We will be back for their flash tattoos!
Got my flash tattoos by Miguel (@tatter_mig) and my piercing (@tatzbychina) it was a great experience had fun even got my sister to get a tattoo. I definitely would go back.
Came to the dope shop for the Friday the 13th event & it was great!! I got to meet @prod_tattoo (he did my butterflies) & @tatzbychina (ear piercing) definitely going back for services.
One of the best experiences that I've ever had at a tattoo shop! Great service and friendly people. Thank you Preston for the great work you did and an awesome experience once again thank you.
