I’ve gotten pierced by Gina a few times before and have had no major issues at all. I went to get an inverse labret piercing and in my excitement and adrenaline filled state after getting pierced, I didn’t think to check the piercing from the inside as it looked fine on the outside. Turns out it looked crooked from the inside. So I went back to tell her the angle was off thinking she would be able to fix it for me. Instead she told me it settled that way because of the muscles in my lip and that she had to base the piercing off of how flat it looked from the outside. So basically there was nothing wrong with it. I decided to get a second opinion because I wasn’t sure it was actually fine. Ultimately found out the piercing was in fact crooked because it was not perpendicular to the tissue of my lip. It had to be pulled and has to heal before I can get it redone properly elsewhere. Again, I’ve never had an issue before so it is very unfortunate that this happened and I am saddened that I have to go through this for a piercing I was so excited to have.

EDIT: The owner, William, reached out to me and was very helpful. He made me feel more at ease about the situation and handled it professionally. It is obvious he truly cares about his customers and how his business is run.
Got both earlobes pierced here and will absolutely be going back for my septum. Gina was incredibly nice, welcoming, and quick! A situation in the shop while I was there proved her dedication to helping her customers have the best experience possible. Will be recommending her and this place to everyone!
So glad I choose this place to get my piercings. Gina and the other staff were very nice and welcoming. The staff made me feel super comfortable. Gina was so kind and quick. And I love the way they came out, would definitely recommend this place to everyone I know.
My favorite piercer works here, her name is Gina and if you were looking to get a new piercing this is the only place you can go probably in the entire US! She’s friendly and makes sure you’re comfortable, she is professional and quick and will answer any question you may have! Would highly recommend!
Went in several weeks ago for a helix piercing done by Gina and went back today to downsize. Both experiences were amazing. Gina is very pleasant to work with and is great at making someone with severe anxiety like myself feel welcome and relaxed. She also took the time to help me pick out a gorgeous piece in my price range and readily answered all my questions. Can’t wait to return and work with her some more. Highly recommend.
