Hermosa Ink Collective: Tattoo & Piercing for septum piercing
Clear ✕All 6 Google reviews tagged “Septum piercing”
I’m not gonna lie, I was low key scared to get my septum pierced but Brandon walked me through the whole process, I decided to go with the thickest gauge and when he finally did it, it was completely PAINLESS! I didn’t feel a thing! Brandon truly knows what he’s doing, I will be back for my double nostril piercings!
The experience was simple and nice, as someone who is overly anxious about everything the people there was really sweet and supportive and just lighten the mood. The septum process was really quick and easy and wasn't painful at at all.
Brandon was incredible! He was honest, clearly very knowledgeable, super kind and gentle with me and my septum piercing. Pricing was incredible and it was a super quick and awesome experience. I only have so many piercings I can get but if I could I would book with him all the time!
Amazing !!! Brandon was absolutely so professional and amazing. He made my piercing look so good and I’m so happy with it!
My daughter got her septum pierced by Sam and it went perfectly! He is very professional and informative as he explained everything he was doing and calmed her nerves. If you’re looking to get a piercing, Sam is the guy to see. She couldn’t be happier!
