Brooklyn Hayes
had this to say:
It took me forever to work up the guts to go get the piercing I wanted. I got my nips pierced to celebrate my sterilization surgery last year. I went in very awkward and self conscious and left happy. Very clean and friendly people. I also had my septum pierced here. Both areas healed beautifully.

had this to say:
Great experience, I came in as a walk-in on a Saturday to get my first tattoo. I was greeted by Jacob Peschel and he immediately went to work. He was very professional, and gave me multiple sizes of my tattoo. He did a great job, and did not rush to have the tattoo done.

Jacob is absolutely amazing! He freehand drew the dragon that I wanted and did an amazing job tattooing it on me. I definitely recommend coming here! Everyone is really nice and patient and overall just good people.
