Whiskey did a **great** job piercing my baby’s ears! He was gentle and caring, made the process quick, and worked with me to find a time that fit my schedule. He made what felt like a scary experience much less intimidating. I’m very happy with the experience and so pleased with the results!

I got my ear lobes pierced in August. Great experience, attention to detail.
Then about 2-3 days in, my left ear was impacted.
It hurt, but no big deal, I kept cleaning. Except as time went on, the pain would persist in waves. Then my ear began to crust. That was fine, kept cleaning. But every time I'd gently clean the area and the crust would come off, it looked as though a layer of my skin was coming off too (think of constantly picking a scab and how the skin appears exposed). Eventually, it began to ooze.
Finally, I messaged Arturo about the issue and he saw me right away.
My ear looked so bad. The earring looked like a wreck.
He took care of the issue with care.
It has been a few weeks since the care, and my ears have been healing very well. I opted not to keep the old pair of earrings (it was disgusting).
Anyhow, excellent first time experience, and excellent repair experience.

Huge shout-out to Whiskey’s Piercings!
Our 5-year-old daughter decided she wanted to be a big, brave girl and get her ears pierced. We initially stopped by a chain store in the mall just to get a feel for the experience, but honestly, the vibe just wasn’t right.
We’re SO glad we decided to go to Whiskey’s instead. From the moment we walked in, he was incredibly professional and welcoming with us as parents, but even more importantly, he was amazing with our daughter. He made sure she was comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely happy and confident about her decision.
What really stood out was how he explained everything directly to her. He told her what he was going to do and what she might feel, but explained it in a way that didn’t create fear or anxiety. Instead, he made her feel brave, encouraged, and proud of herself.
She walked out feeling like a BIG KID, and that’s something we’ll never forget. Huge shout-out to Whiskey’s Piercings for making such a big moment so positive and memorable. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!
