“Okay… two stars because my artist was entertaining, the shop was very clean, and they got me in for same day session. Unfortunately, the tattoo is pretty rough on the eyes. IF you only see it from far enough away, it looks great! But the line work is REALLY bad… like hilariously bad. Even more hilarious because the artist told me these were the straightest lines they’ve ever done 😂, and they were holding their breath to be sure the lines were straight. I won’t call out the artist, but please don’t accept a detailed micro tattoo if it’s not in your wheel house 🙏🏽. All artists have their strengths, but good gawd… it’s okay to turn a job away when it’s not a style you are comfortable with.”

“Nathan and his crew were accommodating, professional, and exhibit high levels of expertise. I do not see myself going anywhere else for my piercing needs and I want to give a special shout out to Enna, ( if I remembered your name incorrectly please correct me and I'll update my review!) Zara, the gentleman with the purple hair (I'm sorry I can't recall the name but please let me know and I'll update the review) and epically Nathan for creating such an affable atmosphere for me and my sister. I really do appreciate the work y'all do, many many thanks to the shop and I will be back soon for more ! Your friend, Ryan”

“Worst place ever. My daughter got her ears pierced there, followed up with the employee who had pierced her ears a few weeks later and heard nothing back.. 6 months later, she removed her first pair of earrings but wasn't able to put a new pair in. We stopped by and a very rude employee who had zero empathy for my daughter's fear/pain told us that she should have had a different pair put in (shorter) a few months after the initial piercing and that her ear hadn't healed yet. This is direction we were never given. Another 3 months later, her ear is still not healed and the backing of her earring is so painful we have to go to the MD to get the earrings surgically removed. What happened definitely has to do with both my daughter's long healing process but the instructions and after sales support we got from this place has been absolutely awful.”

“I got a nose piercing earlier today and was pierced by Jess. She was so sweet and truly made me feel like I was in good hands! I want to change from a stud to a ring later on so Jess took her time making sure it was placed in the correct spot for when I'm going to change it! The place looked very clean and minimalistic and all of their tools were sterilized, I am so happy I chose this place!”

“Exceptional experience at Armory Body Arts! From my initial call through my (ear) piercing appointment I was extremely impressed by the friendliness & professionalism of the Armory crew. The environment is comfortable, welcoming and very, very clean. The product selection was perfect— great amount of options, but not so extensive that it made it hard to choose. Dan, who did my piercings, was the ultimate professional. He explained everything clearly during every step of the process. My comfort and satisfaction were obviously the priority. The piercing room was comfortable and I appreciate the extensive steps taken to provide a sterile and safe experience. Aftercare was clearly explained, all of my questions cheerfully answered, and the follow up email put everything in writing for my convenience. Wow! Armory has a great reputation & it’s easy to see why— this is more than a business; this is an organization that makes their clients feel like old friends. Thank you Dan, and thank you Armory for a 5 star (and fun!) experience.”

“i was really happy with my eyebrow piercing until i found out you’re supposed to be pierced with a longer bar at first to leave room for swelling. my bar was very short so the piercing ball started being engulfed by my eyebrow. i also didn’t know the gauge, the length, how it was threaded, etc, there wasn’t much explaining. they also told me and my friend to use q tips to clean it with sea salt water, but our other piercers said the fibers of the q tips get stuck on the piercing and can accumulate bacteria. i went to pierced out to get it upsized and they were so much more caring and thorough with explaining everything, go there instead!!”

“11/10 Experience David was real nice they had nice music and when you do your belly you lay down they also mark it before they pierce it out . The needle was the only thing to hurt just for 10 seconds definitely would come for my nose piercings tho those hurt more than navel . 11/10 ! Recommend for piercings they pricing are great too $40 for navel.”

“I went to Oak & Poppy for ear piercing and to check it out for a place to get a tattoo (my first). The shop has a very nice, relaxed and most importantly clean atmosphere. Also, a very comfortable place for women to get tattooed. The staff is friendly and professional. The jewelry selection is awesome. I went to Donnie and she was so nice and took the time to explain the best spot for my new piercing, as well as the after care. I will definitely be back for the tattoo. Thank you O&P for such a fun experience!”

“I got my nose pierced back in 2014 with Karissa and she did an amazing job! I made an appointment with her to get my nipples pierced and she was so professional and did a great job! It only took her about 10minutes. I was so nervous but she made me feel comfortable and made this experience better than I thought. I will definitely be going back to Avenue tattoo! Thank you!”
