For all tattoos, large and small, leave the bandage on for the first night; remove in the morning when showering. Wash your tattoo with dye free, scent free soap (preferably antibacterial) and warm water (as warm as you can handle). Pat dry with clean paper towels (do not rub/wipe), or allow to air dry.

My friend and I had such a good experience with Steve and Cimone today. Even though it was just a lobe piercing, the process was thoroughly explained and I felt really safe about the piercing. The space was very clean. Also very affordable. So glad that I went :)

Steve did a great job checking my ear piercing. It had been awhile since I had worn any earrings and was worried that they had closed up. He didn’t mind checking them for me and they were still open :) his team is great and I highly recommend this place.

I had my ears double pierced, and I am very happy with the results! Steve was very nice and explained every step of the process very well. The place was super clean and nice, it was a very welcoming and warm environment. The service and care they have is unmatchable. I was offered tea, and water to calm my nerves, I was talked to directly instead of through my parents, and I was treated with respect and kindness. I can not wait to get another piercing here! I will recommend to any one who is getting a piercing.

I got my ears pierced by Steven and Cimone. They did an awesome job and were so informative regarding piercings. I had bad experiences getting my ears pierced due to my own lack of knowledge and they helped me trust in piercings again. I will use them again next time!

Steve is so sweet and amazing at his job. Very thorough, didn’t lack on any instructions, his infection control is fantastic. Took my sis to get her ears pierced and he was incredibly professional and kind. Highly recommend :)

I did smiley piercing with Steve and I loved it and I loved him!! He was so kind with me and so delicate with my lips: he joked with me so he made me comfortable and quite and easy! The piercing was absolutely no painful and Steve was really really good...he was amazing!
I strongly recommend this studio, especially Steve!! 🖤

I highly recommend if you ever come across this review you should make an appointment with Tom! Tom is very talented and does amazing work! The amount of detail and dedication he put into my tattoo shows that he takes his artwork seriously. My tattoo turned out beautifully and I will cherish it forever.

I have been returning to this shop for all of my tattoos and have had such a pleasure working with Kharlaa. She is incredibly professional and has the most fantastic work. I have recieved a ton of compliments and value having her as my tattooer. I highly recommend coming to see her and her work.
