I got my left nostril pierced here roughly 10 months ago. I have waited this long because I wanted to wait until my piercing was fully healed to write a review and see if time could heal the unpleasant feeling I have about my experience at this shop. To add some important context to this, I have had my right side pierced twice, that second time being pierced through scar tissue, at a different shop.
To start from the beginning, my appointment was rescheduled twice, the second time it was just 2 days before the appointment. The piercing process was terrible. First, my piercer spent 10 minutes lining the dot to be “as even as possible” with my other nostril piercing. As you can see from my attached photo, it was pierced extremely lopsided, very low, and very forward. Second, the pain during the piercing was worse than both times I got my right nostril pierced. It hurt way more than piercing over scar tissue, and my left nostril had never been pierced before. I have never cried from a piercing, this one made me break down in tears. I was originally scheduled to get both my left nostril and my septum done during the same appointment, but after the immense pain of just the nostril, I did not trust the piercer to do my septum. Third, the jewelry the piercer put in did not leave room for swelling. I had to change the stud a little under a week after I got the piercing to one that had enough room for the healing process. She also did not specify what metal the jewelry was made of, which raised some red flags because I am sensitive to certain metals.
Moving on, I cleaned the piercing site with saline every day for months, as I would with any piercing. Though this one did not heal properly. Even as late as November, 3 months later, the site was still very swollen and started actively bleeding. It wasn’t a lot, but it is still a concern because 3 months is halfway through the healing process. I figured it could have somehow gotten infected, and started taking even better care of it (cleaning multiple times a day, especially if I was outside or sweating). I then ended up putting triple antibiotic ointment on the site for a few days and the swelling finally eased up. By the 6 month mark in February, the piercing still wasn’t healed, but I could finally see how badly she did at making my piercings even. Even now, 10 months later, I don’t think the piercing has fully healed. It’s not as swollen, but still has more healing to do and hurts to touch, adjust, or change the stud. Again to compare this to the other nostril, I had been able changed my jewelry to a ring with no pain by the 10 month mark. I know how I should heal in this area and I know how to take very good care of my piercings. To give the benefit of the doubt, this could have been caused by some human error, but I did everything I was supposed to and more after the recommendations weren’t working.
I also know how well the tattoos here are done, because my mom has come here for a tattoo before. This is the only reason that second star is in this rating, because I know that the tattoo artists are skilled. It’s quite upsetting that the piercers are not up to the same standard. I am still unhappy with my experience, and I am very unhappy with the way it’s turned out noticeably lopsided. And it’s a little disappointing that even if I take the piercing out, nothing can be done about the scarring because piercings are considered permanent body modifications. I love piercings, I think they are so pretty and I love my nose jewelry. I just hate how the first thing I notice when I see myself is how uneven my jewelry is, and the process to get it this healed was more of a pain than it should have been.

I can't speak to the ink but I took my daughter here to get her ears pierced. It was a great experience. They were efficient and professional. The artist that helped us was very thorough explaining the process step by step to my daughter and me and let her know what she was doing so there were no surprises. Everything looked clean and tools appeared to have been sterilized. Overall very impressed. Way better experience for piercings than Claire's. We will be coming back for our other girls when they are ready.

I have had mediocre service at the location. Between tattoos for myself and trying to get my minor in for piercings. The service level is low when it comes to needing help or having questions not sure if I'll be back.

Kim did my eyeliner tattoo which was very faded. She is wonderful! She makes you feel very at ease. She is a perfectionist, so I know my eyeliner looks even. The shop was very clean. The other employees were very nice too. I highly recommend this shop to anyone wanting a tattoo, picture, or cosmetic.
I went back for another touch-up, which wasn't even too faded after over 8 years! The shop had some modifications but was just as clean and welcoming as the 1st time. Kim and the other employees are all still top-notch. I recommend Eve's Ink to everyone I meet!

Saw Kim today for my nose piercing. It's something I've been wanting for years and I'm so happy with the result! Kim was absolutely amazing! She explained everything before she did it and was spot on with what I would feel. Her aftercare instructions were clear and helpful. I'll definitely be going back for my next tattoo. Thank you Kim!

We had several of our family members wanting tattoos to commemorate our father, papaw and husband. Jillian went above and beyond in doing amazing tattoos , but, even moreso, she gave us stellar customer service. She listened to exactly what we wanted, and made sure everyone received artwork that meant something. We definitely will recommend Eve’s Ink and Jillian to friends and family. Thank you Jillian for all you did for the Robinson family.

Jillian did my permanent eyeliner today and it could not have been a better experience! She applied a numbing cream that made the whole process shockingly painless! Between that and the calm confident air she had about her, I was put completely at ease. If that wasn't enough, she was even able to touch up the freckles that I had previously gotten from a different shop that had healed too dark. Couldn't recommend this shop, and Jillian, more highly!
