Reviews
"I had a tattoo with Aaron today and I highly recommend this place. The whole team were fantastic, warm and inviting from the minute I walked in the door. Aaron made me feel comfortable as I was a bit nervous given the reason behind my tattoo. I cannot recommend Aaron and the other staff enough, thank you so much for the incredible service, I could not be happier with the result!"
"I’ve never left a review but my experience getting my first piercing from Jess was so amazing that I had to. I was really nervous about getting my ears pierced but Jess walked me through the whole process, was really patient and hyped me up before and after the piercing which made me even more excited. They were just lobe piercings but she was really detailed and in my opinion they came out perfect. She even went the extra mile and asked if I would like future lobe piercings and told me that if I did, she would go further down to leave space, which was something I didn’t even consider. Everything was super sanitary and the whole atmosphere was really welcoming. I never felt rushed and I enjoyed the entire process The receptionist Cat was also super nice and walked me through all the aftercare while I was waiting for my booking. She also hyped me up along with Jess which felt really reassuring and overall she just had an amazing and bubbly personality. I made a phone booking earlier on in the day and she sounded really nice over the phone as well, and she was able to put me in later in the afternoon. I don’t even feel my piercings anymore and they don’t hurt at all even when I touch them. I’ve already recommended them to all my friends I’ve seen since yesterday so definitely go to the tattooed heart if you’re thinking of getting a piercing! Can’t wait to get more future piercings here."
"Have had multiple tattoos done here by Liesje and can’t seem to get enough. Very friendly and professional studio that always gets the job done great. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming for their first time."
"Resident piercer Jess is brilliant. Today was my fourth piercing(s—double vertical eyebrows) with her and she’s the only one in Auckland I trust to pierce me. She knows how to work with your anatomy and will never pierce something that won’t work for you. She is a total perfectionist and won’t let you leave the studio with something she isn’t completely happy with. Aftercare follow-up is excellent, I’ve never had any issues with my healing process. Receptionist Cat is awesome to chat with while you wait, she’s given me some great feedback on my piercings ideas too! :) Note: Photo is of my lip piercings by Jess (philtrum, vertical labret and one snakebite by her) and I will add photos of paired eyebrows when healed!"
