I’ve been going here for my piercings for over a year now and I genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else. I could never cheat on them 😭 Every single time I go in, they’re so welcoming and I’m always greeted with the biggest smiles. They actually remember their customers too, which makes such a difference because you never feel like just another person walking through the door. They’ve always been amazing at calming me down before a piercing because I get so nervous, and they’re honestly just such a lovely bunch of people. They’re super clean, professional and know exactly what they’re doing. None of my piercings from them have ever rejected either, which says a lot! I also genuinely love the atmosphere there. They somehow manage to be professional while still being so friendly, funny and just an absolute vibe 😭 But honestly, I’m probably most grateful to them for helping me find myself and express my identity through piercings. It might seem like something small, but being able to express myself the way I want has meant a lot to me, and I’ll always appreciate them for being part of that. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo or piercing, PLEASE go here. You won’t regret it 🫶🏽❤️![]()

For something as significant as a large scar cover-up, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A brilliant, inclusive studio with incredibly talented artists/owners who clearly care about their art and making their clients feel safe and comfortable. Thank you so much to Sheine and everyone at Outliers Ink. ❤️![]()
