My daughter & I were in town, from Oregon, for a memorial service. I made an appointment for my 16 year old daughter last week & Nina was able to work her in today!
Nina was SO sweet, as well as her son! They both talked to my daughter about what it feels like, but let her know, everyone has a different pain threshold.
This is a very clean shop & Nina has a VERY soft & steady hand! She is very precise!
We will eventually be back & will refer as many people from Oregon as we can!!!
I HIGHLY recommend this shop!!!
Thank you Nina!!!!!

What an amazing shop! I took my 7 year old daughter in to get her ears pierced after having a not so great experience the first time doing it with the piercing guns (my mistake for doing it that way!) they consulted with me for a few days and answered all my questions. Their shop was super clean, cute, and they are so friendly! I cannot say enough great things, It was such a great experience. I’ve been into many tattoo/piercing shops throughout my years and this was by far the best.
