Brandon was a great piercer, and the whole thing took about a minute. Super painless too!
Just got my 1st + 2nd lobe and industrial on my right ear with Brandon. Great experience overall. He let me check the placement before and instructed my breathing during the piercing to help reduce pain. Also had some fun options for the jewelry. Transparent communication and clear aftercare instructions given at…
Great experience. I have been wanting this piercing for three years. The receptionist was so friendly made me feel comfortable. I received a Daith piercing From Brandon. Brandon was most informative, Friendly and put me at ease. I love my new piercings. I would highly recommend Hermosa Ink. Cool place neat & clean. Not a “To cool for school” vibe.
I had a great experience with Brandon! I was a walk-in, and everyone at the studio was friendly and welcoming. The studio was super clean, and Brandon was very knowledgeable and made the whole process easy and comfortable. He did a great job with my piercing — I’d definitely recommend him!
Brandon was super kind, gentle, and professional while piercing my six year old daughter’s ears. Walked her through every step and always let her know what was next prior to doing anything. Piercings came out perfectly and no troubles healing. He made it a very easy experience!
Brandon did a great job with the piercing, and I LOVED how it came out. He was very nice and helpful when it came to aftercare and all about the piercing. Will be coming back for future piercings.
Very helpful, positive, upbeat, knowledgeable - I had all my questions answered and a great experience with getting my ears pierced! Will be returning for some tattoo work for sure!
Brandon went through everything with us in detail and was so kind and attentive and answered every question we had with no problem. My sister and I had the best experience and we will definitely be back for more! We highly recommend Brandon!! He did my rook and top helix
We had a great experience getting my 3-year-old daughter’s ears pierced. Brandon was incredibly patient and took the time to talk her through every step of the process. What I appreciated most was that he made it very clear that he would only do the piercing if she was truly ready and comfortable—nothing was forced.…
Great place, Brandon was great and was really kind. everything went well and smoothly
Found this place on a whim based on their Yelp reviews, came in with a group of myself & 2 other girls we got a conch (ear) piercing, nose piercing, and lobes and we were out and driving home in an hr and 20 min! Could not recommend this place enough. Brandon was the best and very knowledgeable about piercing after…
Brandon, the piercer, was knowledgeable and friendly. My piercings were done quickly and he gave me a lot of information on how to take care of them. Overall, a positive experience!
I got my first piercing today, it was awesome and I barely feel the hurt. Brandon is the BEST!!
Honestly Brandon was the best person to pierce my 3 month old ! He had so much patience & explained everything thoroughly
Quick, easy, friendly, & Professional!
We just visited Hermosa Ink Collective to get a second set of ear piercings for my daughter’s 15th birthday with Brandon. He was very nice, knowledgeable and utmost professional. Would absolutely go back for another piercing in the future and would recommend him to anyone. The shop is in a cute and accessible…
I am so grateful I chose Hermosa Ink Collective for my latest piercings. Brandon was incredibly kind throughout the entire process. His level of detail and genuine comfort with his craft make it obvious how much experience and knowledge he brings to the table. This was also, by far, the least painful piercing…
Brandon did an excellent job piercing my newborn. He was very patient and experienced. Quality jewelry to choose from. Very affordable too. Cannot recommend him enough!
Super amazing service and kind staff!
Great service and explanation of the entire process. No surprises and walked me through all the steps of getting my ears pierced.
