Meatloaf (Jimmy) helped me by reinserting my pierced earrings. He could have pierced my ears again and charged me more, but he wanted me to have a better experience so he took the time to gently reinsert studs and only charged me $10! Such a nice guy!

I went to have my nose piercing, that meatloaf did, checked, then if possible, change out the ring. I called ahead, was able to get in quickly, he checked it, I picked out a new ring. Cost was alot less than I had expected. I did tip, he did a service for me, always excellent customer service. I've had meatloaf do ALL of my body piercings, never an issue. I HIGHLY recommend him for any type of piercing!

I got a BEAUTIFUL tattoo done here by Eric and OMG it came out so good! I am so happy with my experience :) Eric and the other guy there were both very chill and patient. Both very nice and the line work was so perfect! I will be going ONLY here for tattoos from now on.

I love this piercing shop! i came here to get my septum done with 2 friends who got their helixs pierced. the piercer was very kind & was able to calm my nerves. the piercing was placed perfectly and the actual piercing itself was pretty painless. aside from that, it wasn't too expensive either. my 2 friends were both very happy with their helix piercings too!

I came to this shop hoping to buy some proper and quality nose jewelry for my irritated nose piercing. The man was really helpful and nice. He gave me some great advice on properly cleaning my piercing he also gave me a discount on the already affordable quality jewelry. I would highly recommend coming here.

Just got my nose pierced here! The piercer was very friendly and talked me through the whole process. He told me everything he was going to do and made me feel comfortable. I chose this place because they do nose rings. I’m very happy with my piercing!

Meatloaf was a great piercer and very pleasant company!! The business is also small, and they only allow the customer (no additional bodies) into the store, which made me less worried about Covid19.
I would certainly recommend.
Update, the ball fell off of my nose piercing and they replaced it for free. I'm getting a tattoo drawn up and I'm excited to go back to their business. Great people.

Got my septum and nosed pierced here. Meatloaf is great and has a wonderful memory lol. Shop is clean and welcoming. I’m getting my philtrum pierced soon and he’ll probably be the guy to do it.

Meatloaf was amazing. When I told him of my previous piercing experience (when I was 8 at a Claire's store) about fainting and my vagus nerve overstimulation, he was very accommodating and understanding. I indeed got light headed, hot,sweaty, and almost completely passed out, he took great care of me, even got my friend inside to make sure I felt safe. He made sure I was good to go before I left the place. I love my new piercing and will go back for future ones. Its a safe place for ANYONE to get work done.

They are always so knowledgeable and make you feel so comfortable while doing something that some might find scary! Meatloaf was and always wonderful. Even got some tips on my other piercings and got another excuse to come back. I have got all my piercings done here and for good reason!

Stumbled upon this place when my sister and I thought we would get impulse tattoos, as we do. I called, and was told they could take a couple small-piece walk ins. I'd never heard or seen the place before- a hidden gem! Casual yet professional setting. My artist was Eric, who was clean and to the point. My sister got work done at the same time by Jessie? I believe. She actually fainted during the session and was taken good care of by her artist. Eric and I, however, stuck it through and i came out with a beautiful, perfectly clean-cut King of Hearts symbol that has healed nicely so far, bruised

I called so many places trying to find the best price for a nose piercing and this one was the cheapest so we came. Meatloaf pierced my nose for me and he was awesome! Super nice and made me feel comfortable and not nervous. Will definitely come back to him for more piercings!

Asa is the best. He's not cheap and he's not chatty, but he is awesome! He did both my hips (a cupcake and an ice cream cone...yeah, I'm ridiculous), and my bff comes here from OKC to get tattooed by Asa. He did a baby elephant and a baby owl on her calves.

Btw, Meatloaf the piercer is the shiznit. Totally fun to be around, and he's the first person to tell me about Cupcake Island. Thanks, Meatloaf!
