Great experience with first time lobes pierced. Please note that their prices were well outdated on their website. I paid almost double what I had seen listed. But I'm still pleased with overall experience.

I’ve gotten multiple piercings here. They always turn out well are reasonably priced. They are so clean and everyone is super polite. Definitely recommend piercings here. Not a large selection of earrings but they’ve never hurt my ears.

I’ve gotten my third lobes, forward helix, and a cartilage piercing here. I always have a great experience, the jewelry options are good, and my piercings haven’t had any major issues.
