Imperial art studio

Edit: it's been a couple months since I posted the review below and the three piercings I had done have been the most difficult piercings to heal in my entire life, and I have several. Regardless of whose fault it may be, I don't think I will be returning to this shop because these piercings (lobe and rook, but the lobes are faring much worse) just will not heal no matter what, and I have not had this experience with getting more difficult piercings (septum, industrial, lip; difficult when compared to the lobe piercings) to heal when pierced at another shop.

Overall, I had a really good experience with James, the piercer. He was very professional and he is clearly very good at what he does. The shop is very clean, and he opened up the needle and jewelry right in front of me. I did feel as if it was a little rushed, but I did go on a BOGO sale day, so the speed at which my service was performed might have been a little faster than usual, as there were a lot of people waiting to get things done. One thing I felt was a little strange was that he did not give any sort of aftercare paperwork. I have many piercings myself so I don't really need it, but I'm sure there are many people who are getting piercings done for the first time and don't know how to care for them. He did give verbal instructions, which was enough for me, but I know some people like to have written paperwork. He told me to come back and downsize no earlier than the 14th of next month, but I'll probably wait a little longer because I actually liked what he pierced me with and I'm content with a long barbell. He also didn't tell me what the gauge of the needle was he pierced me with, I had to ask him afterwards so I know what jewelry to change it out with months down the road, but again, it was pretty busy in there. I did see a negative comment on here about him calling girls "sweetie", and if you find that offensive or demoralizing, I suggest not going, but in my opinion he does not mean that in a derogatory way, it's just like women calling you honey or something like that. He's very appropriate and I feel safe with him; I would go again.

Got mostly piercings done here but 1 smaller tattoo. They are professional and friendly. INCREDIBLY CLEAN and the remodeling they've done is perfect. Love this place....always my go to.

I got my ear pierced today and the experience was great, James was super welcoming and very chill. His calm demeanor really eased my nerves. The piercing was quick, easy and almost painless.
