Rob is absolutely wonderful. Explains everything great selection and makes you feel like a friend rather than a dollar sign. I've have my daith, septum, and conch done by him and each time its been such a pleasure.

I had a blast I brought me and some friends there even though they didn't get anything I did. But after seeing the experience I had and what I got they wanted to come there themselfs. I'm super happy with the results and with my experience which went by perfectly. Couldn't of asked for a better person to do it then…
