What Clients Say About Justin

As for Justin—he is incredible. Kind, genuine, approachable, and so calming, especially for someone like me who was nervous going in. I had concerns about the pain, but Justin’s presence immediately put me at ease.

Sravani Sagili

Justin gave me tips on where to place the piercings on the helix and ear lobe, the whole process was quick and good, I could ask questions and felt comfortable and in good hands the whole time.

Anna Barbara Hornig

Went in to get my nose ring swapped out and Justin immediately greeted us, talked me through picking my jewelry, and got me set up. He was so nice, quick, and knowledgable. Will definitely be coming back for future piercing needs and recommend to others as well!!
