My fiancé and I went and got piercings today. I personally think this is a great shop and they have great piercers that take their time and do stuff right. I highly recommend going!

Brian has been great with 3 of my tattoos now. He is always honest about what is best and is very knowledgeable. I also got my nose pierced here and will most likely be getting all my piercings here from now on. Very clean and the material is great quality.
