Walked in and all the guys there were very welcoming and accommodating! Danny set us up quickly and was communicative about his process before and during my nose piercing, and what I should expect after. It felt clean in the shop and I can’t wait to go back and get a tattoo from Saki! It was a great experience and I’ll be back for more!

Walked in for a nose piercing and was greeted right away. Danny did my piercing and was super nice. He also did a great job, I've had my nose pierced twice before and this was the fastest and practically no pain. I will be back for more piercings in the future!
