Waffles was super professional & friendly! Easiest piercing I've had by far, no pain & no soreness even days after!! Shop was very welcoming & comfortable! :) Got my forward helix!!
Got a tragus piercing done by Waffles. Super smooth, easy, and painless process. Most importantly, super clean. Waffles was really helpful in answering all my questions too. Thank you!
Above all tattoo did a great job for me. The place is clean and professional and the staff is friendly.
One of the best experiences i’ve had in a tattoo shop! I got my doubles by scooter who made sure i loved the placement before he did it. The whole vibe and experience of this shop is amazing. I plan on coming back near the end of summer for another piercing!
Scooter is the best!!!! So personable and easy going and did an excellent job with our piercings and kept everything super clean!
Got my helix piercing fixed by Scooter, he was amazing I will definitely return here for all my future piercings.
Scooter was awesome when my two friends and I decided to go in for a piercing because we just felt like it. Anyways — he was super awesome in helping decide where the new piercing would be on my friends nose and the extra on my ear — it was quick and painless and my next piercing with definitely be with scooter.
Scooter was an amazing piercer and connected with me so well! He explained everything so thoroughly and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend coming to scooter to get a piercing
I got a second lobe piercing and a cartilage piercing from Scooter and I absolutely love it! I had a lot of questions going into the appointment and Scooter answered every single one and was really great to talk to. The piercings were quick and easy, I didn't feel nervous at all, and I love how they turned out. Will…
Scooter is excellent … I have taken all my kids for their ear piercings and he was able to fix my older daughters first ear piercing. He takes great pride and he’s particularly detailed and precise which is essential when you are doing something as permanent as a piercing.
Great 👍
Wonderful service and reasonable price! Scooter was just awesome!
Quick. Friendly. Awesome service. Rather than looking for quick bucks Scooter took the time and explained my old piercings were still good so he stuck them and saved me some money where anyone could have called em brand new and charged full price. Highly recommend!
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get a piercing. I walked in feeling a little nervous because I have the worst fear of needles but the staff made me feel totally comfortable. Scooter, my piercer, did a fantastic job placing my piercing and making sure that I was happy with the…
Scooter was awesome! He walked me through the entire process of what he was doing, and made sure to give me step by step instructions for how to care for my piercings. Would highly recommend!
Scooter was very considerate and accomodating, he spent plenty of time discussing the piercing with me beforehand and constantly checked if I was doing good. Piercing also went super well, definitely would recommend this place and Scooter!
Scooter was awesome! My cartilage looks great
Scooter did an amazing job with my double helix! He told me the pros and cons of various placements and took into account the type of jewelry I would want to wear. He made sure the measurements were perfect and the piercings were even, horizontal, and parallel. And the piercing itself was super quick and barely hurt. Awesome!
A very friendly and professional environment over all. I highly recommend getting piercings by Scooter. I can already tell my piercings are healing nicely!
Shout out to Scooter who pierced my ears. I had a wonderful experience, he treated me with so much care and was super precise. He spent so much time with me making sure i would love it. And i do!! Thank you again Scooter!
I came in as a walk in for just a normal love piercing and scooter treated me so amazingly!! I was super nervous since I hate needles and he made me feel so great by telling me stories and letting my friend come back with me!! All around great experience!
I always go back to above all tattoo for my piercings and specifically ask for Scooter. He’s awesome, so nice, funny, and professional. 100% recommend.
My guy scooter was amazing man did not feel nervous at all and was talking with us having a good time and just chopping it up. Came in a little nervous but once I felt the good energy that all went away thank you to the people at Above All Tattoos for making my first piercing memorable.
Great experience. Felt super comfortable with Scooter and highly recommend him to any one trying to get piercings
