“I didn't expect such a beautiful Victorian building: definitely not the norm for a tattoo and piercing shop. Everything was clean and professional, with a friendly staff.”

Kevin Hiemel

Reviews

This is hands down the best place to get a piercing. The staff is not only incredibly professional but also kind and attentive. I have sensitive skin, and every piercing I’ve gotten here has healed perfectly thanks to the care and precision they put into their work. Their customer service is top-notch too — every time I’ve called, they’ve been patient and helpful. Highly recommend!

"As someone with physical disabilities, (mild) tourettes, and ASD, Althea has always given me a great tattoo experience. I have a difficult time finding understanding, patient, and supportive tattoo artists and Althea has been everything and more. Beyond her welcoming atmosphere, her art style, working speed, and tattoo quality is always impeccable! I get compliments on my pieces by her ALL the time"

Beautiful, clean, upscale facility with a wide variety of quality jewelry to choose from. Knowledgeable, friendly, adept piercers with compassion. I was extremely satisfied with my piercings and the experience.
