Honest To Goodness: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: My two sisters and I got tragus piercings here just before the new year, and Katrina was very kind and helpful! She was even able to squeeze us in same day even though she had a busy day. She also made time to give me some helpful advice and reassurance a week later when I was no longer in the area but concerned about some swelling. I would absolutely go back for another piercing and highly recommend for anyone who wants to make sure they are getting the best care! Thank you Katrina!
Experiencia negativa: After years with working with Kaelyn to complete a sleeve she started ignoring my request for appointments and finding excuses to not make appointments. At this point ive tried every means of contacting her with no response or explanation. I will have to finish my tattoo elsewhere. I definitely didnt expect this and would hope for better professionalism. Update: Kaelyn reached out and asked for a deposit for a appointment. I sent her the money and scheduled a appointment, voicing my concern about the lack of communication before. She canceled my appointment the day it was scheduled and is back to not responding.
Experiencia fantástica: I got my Bellybutton pierced with Katrina and she was very thorough in assessing my anatomy and making sure we were good to go which is much appreciated! The whole experience was very pleasant, comforting, and professional :)
Experiencia fantástica: I had a GREAT experience with Katrina for an ear piercing! She did a great job with the piercing but for whatever reason the back fell off and she came in on her day off and fixed it for free! Great place with awesome people and nice atmosphere!!!
Experiencia fantástica: This was my first tattoo experience and it was AMAZING! I had Hugh as my artist and I’m recommending him to all my friends! I got a sparrow tattoo on my arm and the details are INSANE
Experiencia fantástica: I had a tattoo back in March, and now I finally have the free time to write a review. Angi was my artist, and we had a wonderful conversation about the colors and what I wanted in my tattoo, before she even presented me with the stencil. I loved it from the get go, and I can confirm, Honest to Goodness staff are wonderful. Angi was a wonderful conversationalist, and the tattoo is to die for! If you read this, hi Angi! I'm the one who got the scroll on his arm back in March!
Experiencia fantástica: Huge shout out to the lovely Lindsey for all of her help with my navel ring. She reinserted my belly ring with the absolute most stealth and precision, I literally never felt it. WOMEN IN STEM! Highly recommend this shop and will absolutely be returning for any future piercing needs. 10/10.
Experiencia fantástica: Did a very very great job love it.it was a cover-up tattoo on my back so like I said did very very good Job pic
Experiencia fantástica: Got a vintage tattoo with a buddy last week. Jamaal does amazing work. Nice facility, comfortable place, great experience.
Experiencia fantástica: Was looking for a vintage style tattoo from a movie that my buddies had talked about getting for years. Very sentimental meaning. Same guys got our first tats together 38 years ago. Staff was very accommodating and excited about our story. Jamaal was the artist that was recommended for us and he nailed it. Couldn’t be happier.
Experiencia fantástica: Lindsey was super professional and did an amazing job on my bridge piercing. prices are also super good. definitely recommending to others :)
Experiencia fantástica: I went and had my nose pierced kinda on a whim! Was met with a professional staff and cute, clean space. Lindsey was AWESOME I’d definitely recommend her!
Experiencia fantástica: I had Angi, my experience was seriously the best. Such a sweet person and made me feel super comfortable for my first tattoo. I got my sons footprint & his name and it’s perfect.
Experiencia fantástica: There is a relaxed ambience at Honest to Goodness. I've been here twice and have been greeted right away and treated kindly. The team of piercing artists are highly trained professionals and are very passionate about the health of their patients and the aftercare of the canvas that their art is displayed on.
Experiencia positiva: Got my ears pierced at here. Was a very pleasant experience. Deducting a star though as the wait was a bit long and we didn't get many updates on when we would be ready.
Experiencia fantástica: I came here needing to get an new ear lobe piercing replaced with a different piece of jewelry. I got the piercing done at screaming needle and they gave me a generic stud earring that was way to small so it caused my piercing to get infected. The two lady's (receptionist and piercer) at Honest to Goodness were very helpful in answering all my questions, helped me pick out a new earring that was the correct size and shape and also swapped out the old one for me. The place was very clean, I wish I would have gotten my piercing done here first. Definitely will be my new go to if I get more. Couldn't recommend them enough.
Experiencia fantástica: I got my philtrum repierced yesterday at Wicked Ways and the ball came undone and went down the sink when I spit out my mouthwash. I called this shop at 7pm because I’ve gotten nice jewelry here before and they said I could come pick up my new jewelry right away, they even offered to place it 9am the next morning. I thought this was amazing service and the jewelry is AMAZING quality and worth the price.
Experiencia fantástica: Jasie was so warm and friendly. She made my daughter feel very comfortable for her ear piercings. She explained the process to her as she went through each step. I appreciate the steps they take for proper cleanliness and sterilization.We had a wonderful experience and will return to her in the future!
Experiencia fantástica: Kaelyn, is amazing! These photos are the beginnings of a Star Wars sleeve. Her shop is amazing! Everyone here is super talented and really easy to talk to and work with! Come get a tattoo!
Experiencia fantástica: I saw Lindsey for my appointment and it was THE BEST piercing appointment I'd ever had! She was so patient and kind. She made sure to understand everything I wanted for my appointment and that I was happy with my jewelry selections. I swapped my nostril piercing, got a new double-nostril piercing, and re-opened(?) my lip piercing. I also have a medical phobia involving needles that I told her about and she was so dang supportive and empathetic. She made sure I was feeling good before I left. I'll be back for a future tattoo appointment for sure, but I'll also be seeing Lindsey for my piercing/jewelry needs. <3 <3 <3
Experiencia fantástica: I always have really good experiences with staff and a very professional clean atmosphere. Great selection on jewelry.
Experiencia fantástica: Angi was a great artist and very professional. Will definitely be getting more work done by her in the future!
Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing! Clean and very professional. I took my daughter there for a septum piercing and they were very patient and informative. Staff was friendly and helpful. Piercing turned out amazing and my daughter loves it!
Experiencia fantástica: FANTASTIC! I have been getting pierced for 6 years and have tried an insane amount of shops but this one takes the cake. Lindsey was the sweetest and most helpful when doing a correction for my high nostril piercing and gave me so many tricks for having happier and healthier piercings. Her knowledge and customer service make getting something painful done a walk in the park. The selection of high quality jewelry is amazing and slightly overwhelming! So much to choose from for all price ranges. I will gladly use this place as my go to for all my flesh suit bedazzling! I HIGHLY recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable staff and amazing jewelry options!! I got my second nostril piercings done with them and I love it. Amazing atmosphere and incredible glass blown earring and gauge selections. I got to chat with the owner for a bit and he seems to be a very intelligent and kind man.
Experiencia fantástica: I have had several tattoo sessions with kota and have absolutely loved the work she put on my arm. I get people every day admiring the artwork. I have also gotten several piercings done by both George and Lindsey. They customer service is great they answered every question and make sure you are comfortable and well informed. All of their jewelry is very high quality and worth the price. I will only go there for other piercings and suggest them to people all of the time.
Experiencia fantástica: I came in for my second nostril piercing, and my 10 year old got her ear lobes pierced for the second time as well. Lindsey was great! She explained everything in a way my daughter would understand and feel comfortable and we both walked out with smiles on our faces. Top notch establishment, and Lindsey is a top notch human.
Experiencia fantástica: I was recommended to go here by a dear friend for piercing services, and I am so glad I did! I got my nose pierced by George, and he was so knowledgeable and patient- he helped me pick out exactly the right jewelry, and he made sure I was comfortable and completely informed about the process and what was going to happen, both before it began and as he did it. I am so happy with how my piercing turned out, and it has been one of the least painful piercings I have ever had! Highly recommend this shop and George specifically.
Experiencia fantástica: This shop has some of the most beautiful and unique body jewelry I have ever seen in a piercing shop. I thought they were handmade, they were that beautiful. ✨ I had my piercing done by Lindsey. She was such a joy to work with. She was very professional and made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She was very knowledgeable and gave me so much information about the piercing I wanted from the type of jewelry I could get with it, the healing process and time, down to the level of pain I might experience. The piercing went super quick. I didn't realize I was done so fast. When I got home, I had to call her personally and thank her so much for her time and work. She did a beautiful job. She deserves all the tips. I will definitely be back for her as my piercer.
Experiencia fantástica: i went in for two lobe piercings and my piercer, Lindsey, was phenomenal! Lindsey walked me through all the steps, what to expect, and was extremely kind. I would definitely come here again!
Experiencia fantástica: I went to get a simple jewelry swap with a piece I planned to buy there. I didn't realize they were by appointment only, but George squeezed me in as a walk-in. The experience was great. It's a very clean environment, the jewelry is reasonably priced, and I will definitely go again.
Experiencia fantástica: Got my earlobes and helix pierced here by George. He did a fantastic job being thorough, clean, and making it a fun experience. I would recommended Honest to Goodness to anyone
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place to have a piercing. Very clean and excellent job. I was anxious and Lindsey took time with me to explain everything. Lindsey eased my nerves. Thank You!!
Experiencia positiva: Had an overall good experience here! Lindsey did a great job & I appreciate how thorough she was. Thank You Lindsey & HTG staff.
Experiencia fantástica: George does great work. He's taken care of everything I've had done piercings wise. Very professional and clean shop. I recommend going here for your piercings.
Experiencia fantástica: Got a daith piercing. Fantastic place. Great selection of jewelry. It was clean, the staff was great and my piercer Lindsey was amazing and answered all my questions. They also fit me in for same day appt. Would definitely go back for another piercing.
Experiencia fantástica: Had my old ear lobe piercings opened up by Jasie. She was awesome! Super clean studio. Will be going back. :)
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had three piercings over the last several months. George pierced my nose, and Lindsey did two different ear piercings, both of them were super nice! They have a large selection of nice jewelry to pick from. FIVE STARS. Highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: I got my septum pierced and I could not be happier with the overall experience! Lindsay was warm and kind and made me feel really good throughout the whole process. I would recommend this place a 100 times over. YES! GET THE TATTOO OR PIERCING AND GET IT DONE HERE!
Experiencia fantástica: This was my first Tattoo! I went in super nervous. They really helped me feel comfortable and empowered throughout the process. Explained everything I needed to know very thoroughly. I felt very cared for. Definitely will be getting another soon! Ask for Christian! He’s super cool! ✨
Experiencia negativa: I had an appt booked with Christian for a tattoo. He cancelled on me 3 separate times in a 1 week span. I wasted a vacation day for one of the appointments. Totally unprofessional
Experiencia fantástica: My man Jamal zipped me out in an hour and a half. He used bacteen numbing agent in the soap for my shading, so I didn't feel a thing. Wonderful work. Great conversation. <3
Experiencia fantástica: George was incredibly patient and so kind to my 7 year old who wanted her ears pierced. She was very nervous and he spent so much time explaining every detail and answering her questions. Although she decided to wait to go through with the piercings, we will absolutely be coming back when she is ready.
Experiencia fantástica: Christian is a really nice guy, does a great job. Talked me out of doing what I originally wanted, but I think I’m happier this way and his input is valuable. I will come back as often as I can
Experiencia fantástica: Recently went in for a surface and a conch piercing and was very impressed. George did a fantastic job on both piercings and was extremely friendly, professional, and detailed. He and Jasie made the experience smooth and comfortable and made sure I had all the info needed for successful healing. Also super impressed with the cleanliness and care for sanitation in both the piercing process and HTG as a whole. Looking forward to returning.
Experiencia fantástica: My 8 year old had her ears pierced here and I also got a second double lobe piercing. Our experience was great. George was friendly and able to put my daughter at ease. Everything was handled very professionally and he took the time to make sure we were happy with our jewelry and understood the process.
Experiencia fantástica: If you are looking for a great place to get a piercing, this is my Go To. Great quality jewelry, VERY clean, so kind and knowledgeable. I have gone here multiple times.
Experiencia fantástica: I got 2 helix piercings from Jasie, she’s currently an apprentice but does her job like a pro! She made sure to aline the piercings correctly and even took my glasses into account so they would not clank together, compared to other places Honest to Goodness is affordably and professional, everyone there was sweet and lovely to talk to, they showed me how to do after-care in great detail and when to come back to resize my piercing, I was nervous but they made the experience wonderful and as painless as possible. I spent a little under $100 for 2 piercing with the earring and after care products, plus tip. Definitely getting any other piercings done here! Thank you Jasie!!
Experiencia fantástica: I would definitely recommend honest to goodness for your piercing needs. I had a great experience. Staff is wonderful. Great jewelry selection. George was very professional and made me feel comfortable during the piercing process. I will be returning for sure!
Experiencia fantástica: Had the best experience at Honest To Goodness. Lindsey was amazing and made me feel super comfortable, and gave me all the aftercare instructions I would need. Exceptionally clean and beautiful space. Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: Yesterday I went in for my septum piercing! I LOVE the fact that htg is very CLEAN! That’s something that’s super important to me, which is why this is the ONLY place I will ever go to for piercings! 4 years ago I had my nose pierced here and I am still rocking the same stud I was pierced with. If you’re looking for good quality, cleanliness, and friendly staff then this is your place!
Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic! I got a septum piercing and the experience was clean, thoughtful, informative, and not too long of a wait! My piercer was fun, kind, and incredibly informative. Down to the breathing techniques.
Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 experience getting my eyebrow pierced. Lindsey and Jasie were professional, gave me all of the information I needed, and were so kind and fun! Would definitely come back in a heartbeat for a piercing!
Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Honest to Goodness! The place is very clean and welcoming, and beautifully decorated. My 13 year old son got his ears pierced by George. George is professional and friendly. He explained everything in detail to make sure my son was relaxed and informed. The piercings are healing great. It's been two months and my son hasn't had any issues with them. George answered all of my aftercare questions thoroughly and made sure my son was confident he knew how to care for the piercings when he left. I would definitely go to Honest to Goodness for future piercings and tattoos.
Experiencia fantástica: Best piercing spot around! George is very knowledgeable and professional, great selection of jewelry and very clean environment! I highly recommended this place to everyone.
Experiencia negativa: Came here the day after my birthday with a dermal emergency & when I called they never mentioned any fee. I come in & they're completely unempathetic to needs or concerns. Jewelry itself only nice thing. Would not recommend.
Ok. So, you called asking if you could come in and get a new top for your anchor piercing as yours fell out. We graciously fit you in at the end of our night even though we were closing. When you got here, you had a previously worn piece of jewelry you were intending on having us reinstall. We charge $25 for that, as it is a rigorous process to completely clean, sterilize, and reinstall said piece. On the phone, it sounded like you needed to purchase a new piece.
We would've let you know over the phone there'd be a charge to reinstall jewelry brought in had we known that was the case. We (thinking you were coming in to buy a new piece) assumed you'd expect to pay for a new piece as most places don't give away free jewelry.
Upon your arrival, we quoted you $25 to reinstall your piece, and quoted you $35 for a new one plus $10 for us to put it in. You then asked if we did birthday discounts, to which we responded "we do not."
Having all of this information before we did anything for you, you opted to purchase a new piece.
While we were sterilizing your brand new jewelry and getting ready to install it, you wrote this review while sitting in our lobby.
You were made aware of all of this before we did anything for you, and you could've chosen cheaper jewelry, or to continue to shop around.
We always do our best to communicate effectively with our clients so there are no surprises upon arrival.
Sometimes, we may not have all of the information while on a phone call. While we find this unfortunate, we will not apologize for charging for our time, or our products as this is our full time job.
If you have any further questions about our products or services, alway feel free to reach out to us. Have a wonderful evening.
Experiencia fantástica: I just recently had my septum pierced here and I have to say it was an awesome experience! Up until that point I hadn’t had any other piercings besides my lobes (which I had done when I was a baby) so this was going to be my first piercing in about 18 years of not getting pierced. I got it done by Lindsey and she was absolutely phenomenal! I have a lower pain tolerance and so I was pretty nervous, and when I get nervous I tend to, at times, talk a lot. I was asking Lindsey question after question about the piercing procedure, what she was using, anatomy for septums, etc. Just question after question and she answered all of them with a smile and the patience of an angel I swear! She was eager to answer my questions and make sure I was comfortable. She talked me through what was going to happen and made sure I was ok after it was all said and done. My piercing is a bit crooked but it’s nothing noticeable from the front, only if you’re looking up my nose. I was told I have a small variation in my septum so that could’ve possibly been done to accommodate for my anatomy being a bit off. All in all it was truly an amazing experience. The interior is beautiful, all the staff are so kind and welcoming, and I can definitely see myself coming back for more piercings here…and possibly my first tattoo somewhere down the road :))
Experiencia positiva: The team is very professional and informative. Been here several times for piercings, Lindsey is awesome. As with any studio, it can take a little time to get through on the phones, but they do always call back.
Experiencia fantástica: today i got my snug re-pierced ! George and i have worked together on ear projects before so i was much more confident in my decision today! (warning fresh piercing pictured)
Experiencia fantástica: I have never been to a shop more considerate of my condition! Every single person we have worked with from piercing to tattoos have been an absolute breeze. Definitely our body art home :) Also, VERY LGBTQ+ friendly!!! Love you guys ❤️
Experiencia fantástica: cannot recommend HTG and Lindsey enough!! the environment when you first come in is so welcoming and soothing, and lindsey walks you through every step she’s doing both prep and piercing! she was so personable and easy to talk to, and the way she pierced my nose left me with no bleeding thus no pain!! my nose is healing beautifully, i can’t wait to go in and get my shorter post put in
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve come in twice for piercings and Lindsey was amazing both times! She talked through all the steps, tips for aftercare, and what I could expect so that I felt comfortable and confident when I got home. Everything was clean, the jewelry selections were good, and I thought the price was reasonable. I’ll be back for sure :)
Experiencia fantástica: I just recently moved to Michigan and was looking to find a reputable piercer that I could go to in order to get my cartilage piercing checked out and the jewelry changed, and I am so glad I found HTG! Lindsey and George are seriously the best. They both consulted with me about my specific needs, and made the whole process so comfortable and reassuring. Both George and Lindsey took time to answer my questions and find the best plan for me to save my piercing. The jewelry at the shop is so cute with great pricing. This is now my go to spot and I will definitely return here for future piercings!
Experiencia fantástica: My 2 granddaughters, two daughters and myself all had piercings. My granddaughter and I had our noses while the other three had ears. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish! Love our piercings, Lindsey who did all five, the atmosphere , cleanliness and beautiful jewelry! Very professional! Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: AMAZING! Had such a great variety of jewelry with different price points! Lindsey did my friend’s and my piercing (helixes) and they were so cute! She was so so kind and asked about our careers and my friends very recent breakup lol! Would 100% go again.
Experiencia fantástica: Spending my afternoon with Kaelyn to create this amazing piece of art, from start to finish the professionalism, the talent, everything about this shop is Top Notch! By far one of my best experiences in a shop ever. Will be back for more work in the future and cannot wait to see what else we will be able to create. If you’re looking for a shop to bring your ideas to life, look no further than Honest to Goodness.
Experiencia fantástica: Highly Recommend! I had my nose pierced by George, and he did an amazing job. He was very thorough with getting the placement just right, and his attention to detail and cleanliness was the best I've ever seen. The shop also offers the most amazing jewelry options that a very fair price for the design and quality. 10/10!
Experiencia fantástica: Before reaching out, I read all the google reviews and their Facebook to ensure that I was choosing the right place for my next piercing. Since I went to a sketchy place the last time, I wanted to be sure I knew what I was getting into. I emailed their piercing team to see when I could get scheduled for my septum, and they called me the following day to set something up. The shop was immaculately clean, they have a massive jewelry selection, and George was absolutely great. He made sure to walk me through the entire process and made sure I was comfortable with everything. I met their apprentice as well, and she was very nice and she seemed excited to learn. I appreciated that George actually took the time to make sure my piercing was lined up correctly, and made sure that I was happy with the placement and the jewelry before everything got started. I couldn’t be happier with how my septum looks, and I’ve recommended this shop to a few of my friends who are looking to get other piercings. Thanks guys! I hope to see y’all again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Definitely recommend Lindsay! She was awesome, makes you feel very comfortable, very willing to walk you thru the whole process and really go the extra mile to show you she has your best interests at heart!
Experiencia fantástica: I got my nose pierced by Lindsey! She was amazing. Explained every step, made sure I saw that everything was sterilized and clean. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back to honest to goodness in the future! I’ve already told my sister that if she needed any piercings to call Lindsey!
Experiencia fantástica: I reached out to Spencer for a tattoo about a month ago, and today he finished the last of two sessions creating a beautiful piece of work. He was professional and extremely talented. I couldn't be happier with my new tattoo or with my experience at HTG.
Experiencia fantástica: Drove all the way from Chicago to get a piece done by Tiffany and I'm already planning my next trip. She was fast, friendly and perfectly captured what I had in mind. The shop itself is a beautiful space with very knowledgeable staff and a wide variety of body jewelry. Also, there is affordable metered parking available nearby.
Experiencia fantástica: Would never go anywhere else. Professional, clean, safety conscious. They take all the time you need. Spencer was great. My tattoo was very simple and very small, but he treated it like it was his most important piece.
Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend HTG enough for piercings! George is absolutely wonderful and has been so patient and accommodating with all my piercing and jewelry needs. I live in Maryland and always book a session when I’m in town because I know that George will give me a piercing that I love and that looks amazing. He was even willing to squeeze me in for a separate jewelry issue (my own fault) on a fully booked day and took the time to show me how to fix the issue in the future. He takes his time when marking out the piercings to make sure the placement will look good, heal well, and is exactly what I envision. I honestly wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to do my antitragus. Can’t wait to book more appointments next time I’m in the state!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Amanda! As always, we are here if you need anything.
Experiencia fantástica: I've been in for an appointment 3 times. 2 new piercings and one jewelry change. Every time I have had an excellent experience. I recommend HTG to anyone who asks about piercings. I feel very safe and like I'm in good hands. George is incredibly professional and very good at his craft.
Experiencia fantástica: Super nice employees who have had the patience and dedication to work with me on my difficult/slow healing piercings. Always seem like they genuinely care and are very knowledgeable.
Experiencia fantástica: I went here to get both of my earlobes pierced , I was scared it might be too painful. However the service there was great! They made me feel very comfortable and walked me through the all process! Very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend this place!
Experiencia negativa: I contacted Spencer Watson over a week ago about a tattoo. He sent me information and I sent the deposit within minutes of receiving the text. I was told I would receive what appointments where open “shortly.” A day and half later after reaching out after 24 hours, I was given some options (red flag #1). A part of the first text I received said that I would see a sketch “day of w plenty of time to make adjustments,” but that never happened (red flag #2). It was 70 minutes before my appointment when I received a text message saying that he was 2 hours behind schedule (red flag #3) and that was the final straw. If my mom hadn’t fell and gotten and unexpected concussion, I might have been able to make the 2 hour difference work, but at that point, I didn’t feel confident in thinking that this artist was interested in doing the work at all. I asked for my depot back and I did get it with an odd message from him. I’m not sure if he was a bragging that he filled my spot, trying to make it an insult, or trying to make me feel badly, but it was unnecessary and uncalled for. I myself am an artist and while I am not a tattooist, I am very familiar with client relations and this whole experience was beyond unprofessional. I have been on both sides of the fence and know that both parties (usually) want a successful transaction. I did not expect this kind of behavior from someone who according to their bio has been tattooing for 14 years. Ultimately I felt like my time was waisted and I feel like other people and the business itself should be aware of this kind of business practices. They have other great artists, but unfortunately after this experience, I will not be returning.
Hello Savannah. Let us start by saying we are very sorry to hear about your mother. Spencer did not make that comment about filling your spot to make you feel bad. Often times, last minute cancellations mean lost revenue for a business and most people understand this. That was only brought up to help take any pressure off of you. We did not want you to think you were costing us money by canceling, so he said no worries and that he'd be able to fill the spot. We understand things happen, and that's why we returned the deposit as well.
We apologize for any miscommunication regarding this matter and we want you to know it was not meant to be hurtful or negative in any way.
We hope your mother has recovered from her injury, and if you decide to work with us again, we will more than welcome you back.
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. They were extremely thorough and wanted to make sure I was comfortable and knew what was going on every step. I would recommend them to everyone looking for a great shop.
Experiencia fantástica: Impressed with our experience. Brought my daughter here for ear piercing and they were very thorough in obtaining ID and verifying her consent because she’s a minor. Lots of attention to detail to piercing placement and sterile technique.
Experiencia fantástica: I just had an appointment with Lindsey for my daith piercing. She was very professional and sweet, she walked me through the process and explained the after care in details. I highly recommend this place!
Experiencia fantástica: Update: came back in for more piercing services. George is also very knowledgeable and kind. Glad to make this place my go-to stop for anything piercing related! CALL OR EMAIL FIRST! Pretty much appointments only. Door is kept lock, so you can't exactly walk-in. I wish I came here in the first place!! Had my nostril repierced after an unpleasant experience elsewhere. Lindsey was very sympathetic, kind, informative, and made the process way smoother and comfortable than the first time I went through it elsewhere. Thorough explanation before and after the piercing. Given a little pamphlet (picture) about care and approx. when to return. Very hopeful this time around for my nose to heal. The prices may be "expensive", you won't find their quality of care and jewlery anywhere in town. Will be back for future piercings!
Experiencia fantástica: Great shop, talented artists! Super clean and very comfortable. Sat for a 6.5 hour tattoo session and they made it an awesome experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend Spencer as well!
Experiencia positiva: Very nice place great customer service. Lindsey explained everything and she was very gentle with my first body piercing and i love it thanks !!
Experiencia fantástica: Messaged to get my Diath jewelry put back in after I had to take them out. They called within a couple days to schedule. Everything in their shop is spotless. Great service. I will never go anywhere else for my piercings.
Experiencia fantástica: Lindsey was great! My daughter was excited but quite nervous going into it, but Lyndsey did a wonderful job of setting her at ease, explained the entire process in detail and took her time. My daughter is very happy with her new earrings.
Experiencia fantástica: A beautiful and unique shop! George was so kind and informative throughout my 9 yr olds ear 1st ear piercing experience! He made this special for HER and it felt like it was all about her! He kindly explained every step of the process to her. I would highly recommend any of my friends to come and enjoy a very 1 on 1 personal experience! Be prepared to spend a higher price but with that comes quality jewelry and an extremely professional experience! I may need to schedule a booking for a new tattoo!!!
Experiencia fantástica: I got my angel bites done by Lindsey and it was the best experience I've ever had in a shop!! They did an amazing job at making me feel safe, comfortable and supported. They also did a great job at distracting me with humor! Overall the best experience I've had getting a piercing. This is the only place ill be going to for peirceings from now on and the only peircer I'll be going to in the the future!
Experiencia fantástica: Lindsey did a double forward helix and a cartilage piercing for me. She was kind, efficient, and her technique was incredible! Lindsey paid attention to where the piercings would look the best and talked me through the entire process. I will definitely be going back for more!
Experiencia negativa: I thought I had a great experience here, getting into the building and waiting was a bit weird (I had an appointment but when waiting no one would answer the phone and I had come in with other customers and then proceeded to again wait over 30 minutes inside the building) I got my septum done by the female piercer, I forgot her name, and while piercing almost upside down was weird I just went with it as it was my first time getting it done. She was so friendly and it healed decently so I thought no problems. While healing I thought it looked a bit big and was placed a bit weird (farther back from my friends, I could never get it to sit straight, etc.) but I figured it was my nose shape and just went with it. Now into September when I’m good to get it resized, I went to screaming needle in allendale (I’m at college so made the most sense) and I wanted to resize since I figured that’s why it say so weird. The piercer at SN immediately looked at it and was like… That’s really odd placement. It’s more on the center of your nose, crooked both sideways and back, and asked how I flipped it up. He asked because even flipped up you could see it due to the way it was in the middle of my nose. I ended up getting it repierced today and it looks a million times better and is was a less painful piercing and is more comfortable both up and down. I’m overall just disappointed as I asked these concerns the day I got my initial piercing at honest to goodness and was told it was normal, that my nose was slightly crooked and deviated (piercer at screaming needle denied this and even showed me his deviated septum to show how mine isn’t) and that it’s as straight as possible. Crazy how I spent $50 at honest to goodness thinking I was going to a better shop(nothing against SN, just always was told honest to goodness was a more high end, higher quality shop) and ended up having to spend the $25 at SN to get it fixed after feeling like I was nuts for the whole summer. On top of that, she used a ridiculously sized ring (I can’t remember what size he had said but he said it was a size that unless you want your piercings very large don’t do it) and it was externally threaded. I do have a large sweet spot, and heal easily from piercings, hence why it healed at all.
Hello Cienna. We are sorry to hear you had a less than stellar experience with us.
Yes, as we explained when you made the appointment; since covid we keep our lobby door locked as we still don't want large groups of people walking in all at once. We also do not have counter staff (our piercers handle all of that) right now, so we cannot answer the phone every time someone calls because we may be with other clients.
That is why we are appointment based, so every client that books with us has a personalized experience.
While we strive for perfection, we are human and not everything we do will be perceived as perfect all of the time. That being said, we do stand by our work. That means if you are not satisfied, or feel like we missed something, we will work with you to resolve it.
In the case of someone not being happy with placement, we more than likely would've offered to redo it free of charge so you wouldn't have to spend extra money elsewhere.
While we appreciate the review, we would've been grateful for the opportunity to resolve this with you so you wouldn't have had to come out of pocket again.
Also, we do not, nor have we ever stocked, used, or recommended externally threaded jewelry. We exclusively use internally threaded and threadless barbells.
Experiencia negativa: I called 3x. Then when the piercing lady came she never called me. I set in the waiting room forever. I looked through the door and still no help. Communication was horrible. First time here and will be my last. Waited an hr to take out a ring. Couldn’t get it re pierced
Hello Tatica. We understand you needed help removing a piercing you received from another facility.
When you first called, we informed you that our piercer was not in the shop yet and would call you when she got in. We also informed you that we are appointment only and booked for the day, but we'd try and get you in. Soon after that, you called 4 more times and were reminded again, that our piercer wasn't in yet. 10 minutes after she arrived, you showed up to the shop banging on the door quite loudly and demanded you be helped immediately.
We try to be as accommodating as we can for people, but understand we have a very busy schedule. If you hadn't have been so rude and demanding, we would've booked you a time and even waived the jewelry removal fee we charge.
We are very clear with everyone that contacts us that we are appointment based. As stated before, we do our best to accommodate people, but sometimes we can't. And we certainly don't deserve to be treated with any type of disrespect because we couldn't give you what you demanded at the time you demanded it.
We ended up helping you anyway, even though it put us behind on our morning, and we get a one star review for it.
Thank you, we appreciate this being the last time you come to our establishment.
Experiencia fantástica: Lindsey is amazing!! I was not sure where to take my teenage daughter to get her ears pierced. Lindsey was able to calm my daughter's excited nerves. Honest To Goodness is safe, clean, professional, friendly. Lindsey is knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. Honest To Goodness has an awesome selection of quality earrings. I am so glad we went to Honest To Goodness. I will be recommending Honest To Goodness to others. My daughter and I are very happy. Thank you!!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Lindsey was amazing. So nice. So knowledgeable. I got my nose pierced, and it looks great. The placement is perfect. Minimal pain. Perfect follow up care instructions. Will be back for additional piercings. ❤️
Experiencia fantástica: Great place! George was super nice and informative. I will be going back for any other piercings I want.
Experiencia fantástica: Lindsey is great! She pierced my septum. She is very knowledgeable and let me know exactly what was going to happen from beginning to end. No surprises. Very clean environment and the cleaning prep before the piercing was exceptional. Jewelry itself is very expensive BUT that's to be expected at any higher end piercing shop because higher quality is what is best for your skin (not all people understand that) so you get exactly what you pay for. They have a lot of options and they're very pretty. Jewelry is also sterilized in house. I've been to other higher end piercing shops and I have quite a few unique piercings and this overall is one of the best experiences I've had. The other staff there seemed friendly as well. Definitely will be back :)
Experiencia fantástica: A few years ago my sister and I got our matching tattoos done at HTG. They turned out great and we still love them! We just went back for a couple piercings and had the pleasure of working with George. He was INCREDIBLE. He answered every question we had, followed all cleanliness procedures, and most importantly made us feel safe. I would 1000% recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing done in the GR area.
Experiencia fantástica: Cannot recommend HTG enough for piercings (and tattoos). George was knowledgeable, helpful, and provided a clean, safe space. I had a medical issue and was provided with not only safety, but the utmost compassion. George is someone you can trust and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for your kindness!
Thank you for the kind words, Melissa! As always, don't hesitate to reach out if you need help with anything.
Experiencia fantástica: My experience from start to finish was incredible! Lindsey did a sick job providing guidance, giving expectations, and making me feel at ease (it was my first piercing). Scheduling and customer service was exceptional the whole way through. Keep doing good things!
Experiencia fantástica: Love, love, love the customer service here. The establishment is very nice as well. George far exceeded my expectations. I normally have issues with piercings getting irritated, this one doesn’t even feel or seem like I just got it done. No bleeding, no crusting. I highly recommend ☝️
Experiencia fantástica: Lindsey pierced my nose and I had a great experience! My nose is healing beautifully and I had very minimal pain. The location is easy to find, but finding parking close by can be a pain. Highly recommend this location. Great service!
