Gene is hands down the best piercer around. Not only is he precise in all of the details surrounding the piercing itself, but he is so personable and strikes up just the right amount of conversation to calm the nerves. Recommend him 1000 times over!

I was nervous about getting my nose pierced yesterday and the guy who pierced it put me at ease and was making me laugh and was very helpful and encouraging. He talked me through it the whole time and it really helped ease my mind and not be as anxious and nervous!

I had two amazing experiences here! I got my nose pierced by Tom back in March. He told me the process, and gave me after care tips. Then in September, I got my first tattoo by Gene! He was amazing, and made sure I was happy where the stencil was applied, and gave me tips on healing. Overall, I highly recommend this place. It is super clean, and all of their tools are sterilized.

Took my 10 yr old to get her ear lobes pierced. Gene was absolutely wonderful with her. Made a nervous girl feel at ease. Took his time answering all her questions and assured her it was ok to feel nervous.

I went on a whim to get my frontal helix and daith done. I haven’t gotten a piercing since I was a child and was a little nervous. Gino could instantly tell. He gave so much detailed instructions on what he was doing as well as really hammering in the aftercare and being welcome of my questions! He was helping me do deep breathing and focusing on that. He also was very understanding , professional and the place was clean as well as covid informed. I will definitely go again for any future tattoos and piercings. I rarely do r... read more
