$50–100Ear piercing, Piercings, Nose piercingAmanda is really good with doing requests! She makes sure that you have the correct anatomy for a piercing before EVER doing it, to prevent infections and rejections. She truly cares about her clients.The studio itself is super clean and very pretty. The piercing room is VERY clean and very sanitary, more than i’ve seen at other shops.Amanda was amazing, she was very clean, thorough, and professional. She got my piercings done super fast and painless. She’s also very nice and listens to every concern or request.
