Went to isaac a few days ago to get my navel piercing and it went amazing! He was able to squeeze me in without having an appointment, and overall the piercing was a smooth and a quick process with no pain! Healing is also going great thank you so much I love the piercing!
Isaac was awesome! He did such a great job with both of my daughters and made the whole piercing experience so easy and comfortable for them. He was patient, professional, and made them both feel at ease. Highly recommend Isaac to anyone looking to get a piercing!
Isaac was AMAZING! So knowledgeable and down to earth. He was extremely helpful with our group of ladies 😁😁
Isaac is a great piercer! I have 13 piercings and counting, and Isaac has done most of them. He’s super helpful with resizing and whatnot too.

Went in to get my naval pierced and it was a nice quick n easy process, Issac was a kind piercer and the shop had nice environment. Overall it was a comfortable experience and it’s healing quite well.
I went back to get my naval piercing replaced as the bottom jewel came out and Isaac replaced it without a charge! Very good customer service! I was able to come in after work and leave quickly!
Nice
Fast and simple! Isaac did such a great job and was truly professional throughout it all. I am so happy with my new piercing!
They did such an amazing job and made the expirence for me great. I was terrified when I went it but Isaac made the process simple and less scary. It also healed greatly even though I haven’t been taking great care of it (oops). 10/10 recommend.
I got my navel pierced by Isaac, best experience ever! He was very welcoming and kind, and had a quick and easy process. Had no issues with the piercing and it looks so perfect. The shop was such a vibe, 10/10 would recommend this place to everyone looking to get some piercing done.
Had an amazing experience getting my navel piercing done here. Had Isaac, he was very professional and seemed super knowledgeable about working with my anatomy. Would recommend!
I love love love my navel piercing! I got it done almost two weeks ago with Issac. Issac educated me on the anatomy of navels explained how mine specifically needed to be with a J hook and why. He was also very accurate on the placement. I'd go again for any piercing I'll get in the future
Got a floating navel piercing done by Isaac and it was one of the most seamless piercing experiences I’ve had. He’s super knowledgeable and precise with placement, v chill dude. Also was literally like 1/10 pain. Going back next week for a different piercing hahaha highly recommend. Ty Isaac!
