The atmosphere was bright and not overbearing or “flashy” and the private booths for piercing/tattooing with certificates regarding courses finished on blood born pathogens made me comfortable and confident that I had made the right choice on where to go. Rob was professional as he showed me the individually wrapped and sterilized instruments he would be using to pierce my nipples, even showing me that each piece had an expiration date an that it had not yet passed. I know that piercers/tattooers see all body types and parts frequently but I was still nervous to be topless in front of people I had just met. Rob (and Tony, who also helped) treated it as a job, but also made sure that I was comfortable. He kept eye contact while talking and explaining aftercare which helped me feel respected and less on display.
Although none of my tattoos were done here, I’ve seen pictures of the awesome work that their artists do. I look forward to working with them on my future tattoos and having another parlor to call “home”.
