Wes took great care today to give me my first and awesome tattoo of my badge while accentuating initials of my family members in the space between the cross. His attention to detail is impeccable and he did not rush through this job at all. Staff members are fantastic and very personable. I highly recommend Burning Hearts as your first stop for your first tattoo! Thanks again!

Made back to back appointments for myself and my daughter. I needed two locations re-pierced and one new location and she wanted two helix piercings. The normal piercer had gone home sick and so we were lucky to have Nicholas assist us.Nicholas first sat down with us and went out our wants and desires. After inspecting my piercings, we decided not to repierce my daith because it has sustained damage after being hooked on a dog’s nail a while back and was unlikely to take. I opted instead for two new locations; a room and a “faux” rook.Nicholas walked us through every step of the process, from sterilization procedures to the most thorough aftercare speech I’ve ever heard!I’ve been tattooed or pierced about a dozen or more times in my life and no one has ever been so thorough. The hot water spray technique is KEY!! I usually fight with the healing of my piercings but thanks to Nicholas’ amazing tips, am healing normallyfor the first time ever.The stupid has a cool vibe too. Amazing jewelry and was just an all around positive experience.

I brought my daughter in today for a second earlobe piercing and for a consult for me on daith piercings—Corey was phenomenal from beginning to end, super sweet and patient, and took their time when we were choosing jewelry. Any questions we had were patiently answered and we never felt rushed. Aftercare was thoroughly explained and my daughter felt comfortable in getting her piercing. She loves her new piercing, and we will absolutely be back! Thank you so much, Corey!!

I went with my partner to get their nose pierced for their birthday and we had an incredible experience with Corey. I’ve been pierced and tattooed a ton of times and was blown away by how meticulous and thorough they were. My partner had an amazing experience and was so reassured and comfortable the entire time, which is exactly what they were looking for. I definitely want to come back for myself!

Corey is the best. They were super professional, explained all the processes to me about sterilization, after care, and the piercing process. Corey really made me feel super comfortable, was super calm, didn’t rush me at all, and offered me all the encouragement when I needed it! I’ve gotten multiple piercings from Corey and they’ve all healed beautifully!!!

THE BEST HANDS DOWN. Last year I had my nose pierced in a different establishment and it was a disaster - redness, irritation, bump, and stud kept coming out. Had it repierced with Corey and it was flawless. There is zero irritation or swelling, and the stud is flat backed so even if I catch it on my glasses or scratch it by mistake it does not budge! The aftercare is simple, easy to follow and effective. Also appreciate the follow up and downsize opportunity! Corey is sweet, gentle and professional but what comes through most is how clear it is that she knows what she is doing - if she was your brain surgeon you would be okay with it. Highly recommend!

Went to get two piercings re-pierced and a new location with my daughter and left with one re-piece and two new locations for me and two new piercings for her.The usual piecer had gone home ill and so Nicholas helped us. I’ve been tattooed and pierced a good dozen times before and never before has anyone been so friendly, professional and thorough at the same time.Nicholas went over every aspect of sanitation, what he was doing during the process and the most thorough after-care I’ve ever heard.In the past, I’ve had trouble with ear cartilage piercings getting angry. My original helix (not done here) developed a keloid and had to be swapped out twice. It also aggravated my daith and lobe piercings. In short, it was a mess.This time, thanks to Nicholas’ very thorough instructions and additional cleaning techniques (no one ever suggested a hot water rinse before!), after three days, my piercings are healing perfectly normally, as are my daughters.This is my new shop. It should be yours too!

10/10 would recommend Carlos for your next piercing! He is a traveling piercer that I just so happened to get lucky enough to be scheduled with. He did 5 piercings for me - third hole in both ear lobes, forward helix, flat and conch. He couldn’t have been more patient from start to finish and kept the vibe up beat and fun. He talks you through every step of the process, making sure you understand everything, you’re comfortable with & understand each step, and his little praises with each piercing go a long way. You can truly tell how passionate he is about what he does and he is definitely in the right field! I would hands down recommend him for your next piercing if you can catch him next time he is in town!

I had my septum pierced in December of 2022. Corey made the experience so easy, calm, and comfortable. Not only are they extremely informative and knowledgeable, but also approachable and kind. Everyone in the shop is this way for that matter. I was so pleased with my first experience here, that when my Mom expressed interest in getting her earlobes pierced again, we made an appointment at Burning Hearts to see Corey. And again to no surprise, the experience was lovely. Corey made sure to help us work within our budget and was super helpful with jewelry choice. My Mom left the shop extremely happy with her new piercings and the overall experience. Thanks Burning Hearts, you guys rule!

Found this place on a whim and could not have been more lucky. I got my nose pierced here yesterday and I’m still thinking about how great the whole process was. The thing that stands out above all is the seriousness in which they take their cleanliness. I’ve been to several tattoo shops in the state and this place blows them all out of the water. I work in health care and am so impressed by Carlos’ knowledge of the sterilization process and the clinical yet welcoming feel of the parlor as a whole. Carlos was amazing from start to finish; he made me feel calm and his expertise shone through his work. I didn’t feel like a client he was just trying to get in and out- he took his time explaining every step including aftercare, answering all my questions, and assuring me anyone at the shop could help me should I have any concerns in the weeks to come. I’m so happy with my new piercing and will absolutely be back for more piercings and tattoos in the future! Thank you!

Nice clean shop, artists are very friendly. Dani is a phenomenal tattoo artist. They literally read my mind when I discussed what I wanted with them, and came up with a design that couldnt be more perfect. I gave them a basic rough idea and they turned it into perfection. I put alot of trust in them, especially with it being my throat and sides of my neck, and Dani did not disappoint. Thank you so much Dani, I feel a little more like myself with my new tattoo. You can find Dani on Instagram @vileblvck.ttt to see their portfolio

Review №18

I’ve been to so many tattoo and piercing shops I cannot express how good of a time I had honestly everyone that was there was great!!! Super nice and helpful! Not to mention one of the only shops I’ve found that make sure to put only implant grade for piercings and explain everything in a way that made everything feel safe and comfortable from beginning to end!! They genuinely care about what service they’re preforming on you instead of shoving whatever cheap jewelry in and getting a quick buck. 100% am absolutely making this my regular place from now on. Super happy it was recommended to me and I’ll forever recommend others to it!!!

I had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Corey! In all my years of receiving piercings at different locations, this was by far the most communicative, transparent, and friendly environment I’ve been in. Corey walked me through all the steps, from beginning to end. The shop was incredibly clean and methodical, and it was clear that they prioritized a safe and healthy piercing process. I will definitely return for any future piercings!

I managed to get a same-day appointment for piercing with Corey. They were super friendly and walked me through the jewelry options (absolute huge BVLA selection!). I felt zero rush while making a choice. Corey was amazing during the placement and piercing process and I felt like I was in excellent hands.Lots of attention was given to both the sterilization and aftercare - the visit even included a full size NeilMeds wash. I couldnt have asked for a better experience and Ill definitely be back next time Im in town!

Ive been pierced by corey four times and by nicholas once (who i think is focusing more on tattooing now) and i cannot recommend this place enough. corey is always so kind and caring and ensures that their customers have an easy and comfortable experience. corey always gets the placement spot on first try for me and all my piercings by them have all turned out beautifully. i have no plans to go to another piercer and i’ll definitely be coming back for more!! 10/10 experience every time!! thank you corey!!

He did such a beautiful job and made me feel super comfortable for my first tattoo. gave me the option to take breaks if i need to. Met Nicholas & Corey as well and they were super sweet. 100% will be coming back! so happy with how my tattoo came out 💖💖

My experience at Burning Hearts was so wonderful. Corey is so professional. They really take the time to walk you through the whole process and are so helpful with any questions you may have. I came in for just one piercing but ended up having them swap all the jewelry in my ears after seeing the beautiful pieces they have available. Thank you so so much for making me feel so pretty ❤️

My daughter had her earlobes pierced by Corey Torok, and I couldnt be happier with the experience. Corey went above and beyond, prioritizing her comfort and preferences over anything else. He was not only highly informative but also made the entire process enjoyable for my daughter, keeping her at ease and engaged in conversation throughout. Coreys care and professionalism shone through, making this a memorable and positive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Corey Torok for an exceptional ear-piercing experience. Thank you, Corey!

Corey had done my tongue and eyebrow piercing. They made my experience so comfortable and sat with me until I was ready to leave the shop. The shop is clean and everyone is very friendly and professional. They walked me through the process and went on my time making me feel more at ease. I was nervous to get my tongue pierced but Corey talked me through it and made the experience amazing, not to mention both piercings came out perfect.

Review №33

Corey is amazing! I came in for a piercing consultation last week and they were incredibly patient and creative, taking me through all my options and providing insight into pain level, healing and aftercare, and all the beautiful jewelry available. Based on our initial conversation, they worked on a curated design for each of my ears with some recommendations for jewelry and placement, so I could see how it all comes together. I started with a tragus and flat piercing earlier this week and Corey and Nicholas are both so lovely to work with! Corey did the piercings under Nicholass observation, and with just a little pressure on my ear, it was over before I knew it. I felt really safe and comfortable here and I cant wait to keep working with Corey. Highly highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience coming here. The staff was super friendly and respectful and did everything they could to make me comfortable. Everything was very clean and they showed me all the sterile materials they were using. Their jewelry is very nice and elegant and they have a range of price options to fit your budget. I really liked the overall vibe and atmosphere. The staff here has a real passion for their craft and it shows in their work.

Review №35

I just had the most awesome experience at Burning Hearts tattoo. I spent a year debating on if i should get a 2nd tattoo. I was in limbo because i felt like the artist would not be able to capture my vision and my feelings towards why getting this tattoo at this point in my life is so important.Burning hearts was my best decision i met this amazing artist Mickey who took the time to capture what i wanted; oh man! What a cool guy! He walked me through the process until i got every aspect of my vision represented in my tattoo.He was so thoughtful and cared about making sure the tattoo represented my sentiments.For the record i got beyond what I expected I got a tattoo experience. He gave me a very important piece of my life with his artistic abilities one I will never ever forget. He made this tattoo experience so much more meaningful. He for sure is a hidden gem. This place is clean they are professional and respectful. This place is beyond 5 stars and Mickey is absolutely phenomenal. Thank you so much Mickey! Live strong and strength always to you.

The service here is far above any shop Ive been to! Nicholas & Corey made my daughter & I feel like weve been coming for years! The process to book online was simple & everything was straightforward. (I do wish the jewelry was viewable online, but no matter) we were not pressured to spend (besides my daughter pressuring me to buy lol) everything was super clean & their process to show you the jewelry was sanitary was awesome! We were offered to have Corey do the piercing, which we both received lip piercing (Monroe & Madonna). Corey was just awesome! Cant say enough about their professionalism & kindness! Thank you for making our mother daughter experience beautiful!!! See you soon for check up & change out. 😊

I had the most marvelous experience at Burning Hearts Tattoo. This is, hands down, the cleanest tattoo shop I’ve ever been to. I had the pleasure of meeting Corey, who was super sweet and friendly, and Nick was my tattoo artist and did a fantastic job! Going in with the concept, Nick drew up two different sizes for me to pick from so that I could really get an idea of how it would look (unsure of the placement at first). Happy with my decision, the tattooing itself was done smoothly, patiently, and professionally, all during great conversations. 10/10 would recommend, tell ya friends!

Ill definitely be coming back!

Review №43

Years ago I had my first few tattoos done by Wes elsewhere and then I moved out of state. I want to start by saying I’m sure he is just as wonderful as he was then, especially because he owns this place now. I decided to get my first piercing in 7 or so years and chose this shop because I trusted that Wes would have only the best there. I was BLOWN AWAY by how amazing my experience was. I arrived early and was greeted upon arrival letting me know I would be seen shortly. Nicholas came out and started chatting with me almost immediately and answered the first few questions I had, as I was super nervous. It turned out they had a guest piercer working as well, and while I was initially nervous because I had expected Nicholas, they both chatted with me and explained everything and answered all my questions. I was ridiculously impressed with how they treated me as I was the only thing that mattered — having patience, giving me advice based on personal experiences, letting take my time, reassuring me, etc. The professionalism and genuine caring in this place meant more than anything to me. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!! I also want to say that years on YEARS ago I had asked to get pierced elsewhere and Nicholas was the piercer there and he had turned me down bc he knew it would reject. He really knows his stuff and won’t let you down!

I’ve been wanting a nose piercing for as long as I could remember, and I finally decided to take the plunge and book an appointment! The booking process on their website is so easy, and explains what you are paying for, etc. I met Corey on Monday, and I was incredibly nervous. Corey put me completely at ease, explained the entire process from start to finish, and made sure everything was safe, sterile, and placed properly. I barely felt a pinch, and it was over! I left with a sweet piercing and a bunch of cool stickers, one of which included care instructions (super neat!) I highly recommend visiting Corey here at Bleeding Hearts Tattoo Company for all of your piercing needs!

Scheduled my appointment a week ago for my septum, and was super nervous about getting one because of what ive seen online prior. Went in today to get it, and my piercer (Corey) was super thorough and really nice about the whole process. Corey explained everything and told me what I needed to do in my part to make sure it heals properly. The whole experience was awesome, and I would definitely go back again if I wanted to get another piercing or a tattoo.

I had my septum pierced by Nicholas at Burning Hearts. He was extremely professional, gentle, and clearly committed to his craft. He went out of his way (including seeing me on his day off!) to ensure that I was satisfied with my piercing. I love it and could not have asked for more. If and when I decide to get another body piercing, I will without hesitation get pierced by Nicholas again.Also, the studio itself had a friendly atmosphere and was incredibly clean. The sterilization process was explained to me in detail and there were many safety “checks” throughout the piercing experience. Nicholas always explained what he was doing before he did it so I felt completely comfortable.10/10 I will recommend Nicholas to everyone!

Review №52

I had two piercings from this place, my first cartilage and my conch. They are firstly ridiculously overpriced, which I did not know until I went to another piercing parlor. Secondly the bars they put in your ear after it’s partly healed are way too small. My conch piercing was so messed up I had to get it pried out with pliers after the skin started growing around it. My cartilage piercing became so bent I had to let it close up.Would not recommend there are so many other places that are much cheaper!

Got my nose pierced by Nicholas in June 2021, then I had him check it and change out the gauge 6 weeks later. He was so knowledgeable and informative and the shop follows super strict sanitation and cleaning procedures. I really felt safe and comfortable. I also left with the instructions on how to properly care for my piercing to keep it healthy and let it heal fully. (When I had my nose pierced at 20 years old at the Milford mall it was infected and removed within less than a year - care instructions were basically nonexistent.) I just went back to Nick to have him change me to a hoop and was again super pleased with the whole experience. 10/10 would recommend every time!

Just left from getting my nose pierced by Nicholas. Cant lie, I was very nervous at first (usually I dont do great with needles outside of getting tattoos) but he made me feel very comfortable and much less anxious than when I originally walked in. While I was there, we had great conversations and that definitely made the whole experience awesome. Hes super knowledgeable, thoroughly clean, precise and accurate, and took his time to make sure everything was lined up and perfect. 12/10 would recommend anyone looking to get pierced goes to see him. I will definitely be back in the future!

9/7/21 I scheduled a septum piercing with @nicholasthegeezer. I went into the appointment very nervous but he made me comfortable and feel at home in the shop. I could tell he genuinely cares about his clients and the quality of work he provides to them. I won’t recommend anybody else! UPDATE 3/14/22 I went back with my brother to get our nostrils pierced by Nick’s apprentice, Corey (@hfod_rfop). Corey did a great job with my brother as this was his first body modification and he was nervous… quick, easy and looked great. Mine was a little more complicated as this piercing had to be lined up with my other existing nostril piercing. In addition to that, this jewelry Corey helped me pick out is a flat stud so there was no room for error or it would lay crooked on my nose. Needless to say they did a fantastic job and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

They followed me on my choice to chat or not.I cant wait to get my next piece here.

I came to Nicholas with my sister a few weeks back to get our piercings done. She was getting a nose piercing and I was getting my industrial. Never having walked into a tattoo parlor before, I was so pleasantly surprised to see how clean, professional, and nice this place looked! Also being semi-anxious I talked to Nicholas about my concerns around getting my piercings and completely took care of all my worries and deescalated my anxiety. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for both my sister and I. I 10/10 recommend going to Nicholas for piercings as his gentle hand and entertaining nature that can get any piercing over and done with quickly with complete satisfaction! Thanks Nicholas!

Amazing experience with Nicholas who did my 2nd and 3rd lobe piercing on each ear. He was extremely professional, attentive, and super knowledgable.

Wes has been doing my tattoos for years now! Wes and the rest of his team are all extremely professional. Every time I have an idea for a tattoo, Wes is always excited and enthusiastic to get it started!

As far as the space is concerned this is the cleanest tattoo shop I have ever set foot in! I highly recommended Wes and the rest of his staff!

Review №78

Nick was super nice and patient. Me and my friend went and both got a helix and a daith piercing. The jewelry was very nice but more on the pricey side. We definitely paid a lot more than we planned on paying for piercings but are very happy with the end results. My only complaint was when it was time to give the tip. We actually tipped based on the total which we didn’t think about until afterwards considering the earrings were on the total. there’s no reason to tip for earrings just for the service. But other than that I would definitely recommend this place and go back there again for sure

We came to Nicholas and Burning Hearts for a snake bite lip piercing for my 16 year old because NY was not allowing these piercings due to COVID. It was well worth the two hour round trip. The shop is clean and uses all the right safety protocols. Nicholas is knowledgeable, professional, and communicates the process and the aftercare clearly. My kid’s mouth is not symmetrical and Nicholas took the time to line up the piercings perfectly before proceeding. He also has a gorgeous collection of jewelry that I have not seen at other shops. I would not trust anyone else with my kid’s future piercings so we will be doing a lot of future driving up to CT!

Came here to have my nose piercing that had closed up re-pierced by Corey. They were so professional and friendly and explained each step of the process and how to take care of the piercing. The piercing itself was quick and easy and I didn’t have any redness or pain afterwards. Highly recommend this place and Corey!

I LOVED this place. My friend recommended it to me and I am forever thankful for her. I was immediately (and warmly) welcomed right at the door and felt totally at home and at ease. Corey was so patient and thorough during the whole process, and just a pure genuine soul. I will forever be raving about them and this place! Easy 5/5.

My friend and I got tattoos done by Mickey who is apprenticing at Burning Hearts Tattoo. Mickey was great from the start; I booked with him via Instagram and he answered all of my questions ahead of time. Once we got there he was very welcoming and greeted everyone who entered the shop. Mickey was very conscious of how my friend and I felt and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. He asked us how we were doing during the tattoo, let us know if we didn’t feel good to let him know, etc. I was very happy with his professionalism as well as his work! Thank you again Mickey!

Called Bleeding Heart, after reading all their amazing reviews, to make an appointment to get my daughter’s nose pierced. Jay was amazing. He was extremely polite and very informative over the phone. When we arrived we were helped right away. Jay, their body piercing expert, was patient and answered all our questions with detailed explanation. Would definitely recommend Jay and the Bleeding Heart Tattoo & Piercing. Will definitely be returning!! 😉

Me and my boyfriend came in and got 3 piercings each, Nicholas the geezer did all 6 of them and he did a flawless job! I gotta say I’ve tried a lot of piercing shops out here and have really struggled to find an awesome piercer, and it looks like my search is finally over, I would definitely recommend to go here for your piercings. The environment was really nice, clean and comftorable and he really took his time to make sure everything was even and perfect which I appreciated a lot(:- came back in a few weeks later to downsize everything and get 2 more piercings, I got a vertical labret and a tongue piercing and once again they were done perfectly and I’m so obsessed with them and how perfectly symmetrical they are, I now have 5 piercings from nick and they are all perfect, do yourself a favor and go here for your piercing needs(:

Mickey did a great job on a cover up tattoo for me. I love it and I’m grateful for it. I have dozens of tattoos and this was my first tattoo since being diagnosed with a medical condition that unfortunately increases my anxiety. Mickey was patient and professional. I would get another tattoo by him and I would recommend him. He is newer to tattooing but I have no doubt he will do great in this career!

I already left a private review, but i just had to review this place for everyone to see!this place = AMAZING. the environment is so friendly and clean! coming into the shop, i was greeted by apprentice, Corey, who was incredibly sweet. they asked me what i was here for, listened to every single concern i had, and was able to make me feel relaxed even though the circumstances were stressful.i, unfortunately, did not get my philtrum pierced at this shop. i got it done at another shop, but i so wish nicholas did my piercing. both nicholas and corey took the time to explain to me why the piercing was done incorrectly and took the time to tell me what my next steps are.i got my philtrum piercing removed here, it hurt like a b (unintentionally ofc, nicholas made sure i was okay the whole time) and he let me know that he would see me in 8 weekshe gave me a long, detailed aftercare list which i am forever grateful for.i can not wait to make an appointment at the 8 week mark so he can check me out so i am ready to be pierced again!if nicholas or corey are reading this, i did walk out in tears which is why i rushed out so fast so i am sorry i didn’t get the chance to give you a proper goodbye, but i feel instant relief on my lip and the bubble is starting to go away. thank you guys so much again and i hope to see y’all in 8 weeks!

Review №93

I Went to Burning Hearts for a piercing. While the offered jewelry was beautiful and certainly of top quality, $530 for a single 10mm hoop was completely unexpected and out of my budget. Unfortunately only one other option was available, an implant grade surgical steel horseshoe for an additional $55 bringing the price of an ear piercing to $110. The price of the piercing, $55, does not include jewelry as I have grown accustomed to. The staff was courteous and professional, the shop was immaculate. But I still left disappointed, confused and honestly rather embarassed. Sadly, I would not return to this shop in the future.UPDATE: I received a response from the shop and wanted to clarify that the cost of the piercing is $35 for a total of $106.35 after tax and jewelry is added. This is apparently stated on their booking site which I missed. With that said, this is still quite a bit above the market range. I was able to get my piercing done at another reputable shop for $65 which included taxes and a titanium fixed bead ring.

This is my second time at Burning Hearts for a piercing, and both times, Corey was so professional and helpful! They have a steady hand and a calm energy that helped keep me at ease while being stabbed by needles. Not an easy feat.

Review №98

Someone had referred me to Burning Hearts for this peircing. I was incredibly hopeful that I was making the best decision to see Nicholas for a piercing after reading many good reviews. He was professional and very knowledgeable. However my experience is nothing like all the other reviews Ive read that made me confident in seeing him. When you book your appointment with a deposit the fine print lets you know that if you are more than 5 minutes late you forfeit your appointment. I respect that rule and the professionals time. Although that doesnt appear to be reciprocated to the customer. I showed up 15 minutes early, provided my license, signed a waiver, and choose jewelry all before my appointment time. I first felt uncomfortable when it came to selecting jewelry. I was asked to pick one in a display case to then realize that it was over 500 dollars. I had laughed because I thought Nicholas was making a joke. And he looked at me so seriously and couldnt even crack a smile for the fact that I had no idea. I did not read anything about the high expense of the jewelry they provide. I was made to feel pretty uncomfortable to not know this. I had then chosen the most basic jewelry and paid for it and the service before it was performed. At that point you can also provide a tip, which I did...but it was hard to know what to tip when I was already uncomfortable and the service didnt happen yet. I then sat in a room for 30 minutes while the equipment was being sterilized. I understand they do this when you are there and have you initial the sterilization strip as a comforting process of knowing they take sterilization very seriously. Which is great. But I was left alone in a room during this time only feeling more anxious. When the sterilization was done and Nicholas came into the room I had been debating walking out without the service. His demeanor was very transactional. I felt like a number, not a valued customer. Everything he said sounded very robotic and quick. I did not receive the personable experience that Ive read with so many other reviews. It made it very hard for me to relax. Truthfully if he had smiled even just once, I think it would have made a drastically better experience. I completely understand we all can have bad days. He may have had something personal going on and I understand that. But I also would have appreciated even having the appointment rescheduled, if that was the case, so I could have a more pleasant experience that would make me want to come back and refer someone else. I appreciate the time he took to provide the service. Im hopeful his expertise and explanation for after care will leave my piercing in good health.

Review №105

I have never seen a more sterile environment… Very clean, this place was immaculate…2 ear piercings were EXTREMELY expensive .The price listed was totally misleading…The price was $60 for two ears listed on website. When I called we were told jewelry was separate… which I understood. BUT there’s a CATCH!! the earring POST and the GEM are sold as two separate pieces and prices… making the jewelry itself come to $150 in addition… PLUS a $10 fee for after care directions and solution which should have been included for the price or at least be given the option of whether we wanted to purchase the solution.…I was totally blindsided…Although the piercer Nicholas was extremely thorough and Knowledgeable and made the experience comfortable… I felt this was a bait and switch tactic with the earrings themselves… I did not see any prices on the website or in the shop for the jewelry so I did not even think it would HELP be even close to that…If the prices were there I never found them. I suppose we could have not gone through but my son was already too excited to turn back and I did not want to disappoint him…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️sterile clean environment💰 💰 💰 💰 Price( I understand we are paying for quality )🙁👎🏻Extremely disappointed in the hidden fees and kept telling us to refer to the website which wasn’t helpful. In ADDITION we have to go back in 6 weeks to get posts removed and Replaced with shorter ones for an additional $10 plus additional cost for the shorter posts..Like another 60 bucksUnless you are a Germaphobe freak or have a ton of money I would NOT recommend going here to get a SIMPLE EAR PIERCING……👍🏻 however other body piercing sites require this type of environment and in that case this place I would recommend

I’ve been looking for a new tattoo artist since mine left the industry, and through a recommendation reached out to Burning Heart Tattoo (BHT). First off, I want to say just how clean the shop is. Everything looks immaculate, and the crew follows all COVID protocols. I really felt as comfortable as possible during my tattoo. I worked with Cariann and she was incredible. My tattoo was a small one, but she paid as much attention to the detail and craftsmanship as if it were something much larger. I already booked more work with her! Overall, an awesome experience. If you’re anywhere in the area, or even have to travel, I highly recommend BHT.

The moment you walk into this place you know youre in a professional environment. Its not a dive shop by any means . They are so clean follow covid guidelines. Right from walking into the door to leaving youre treated so nice and by everyone not just the artist youre working with. I had Wes as my artist and it was the most calming experience I have ever had and I have been to a few shops lol. His work is beyond amazing the quality I mean I wish I could write as neat as him lol . The talk was great while he was doing the work which helps . The price was without a doubt reasonable I would have paid double because my experience there and his work is so good . If your looking for a new tattoo this is for sure the place to go !

The only shop I will ever go to. I’ve been tattooed by Wes, Eric, and Cariann over the past 4 years. Each experience was amazing. Everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. Walk-ins are not only appreciated but they will make time for you if they don’t already have appointments booked. The appointments are worth it. Each tattoo has come out beautifully with amazing color, opacity, and linework. I have never felt so comfortable. I hope to get at least one piece by everyone in the shop because everyone is so amazing.

From the moment you walk into burning hearts you can tell you are in the right place. Completely clean and organized. All the artists were incredibly friendly and personable. The artists had a variety of flash available and were equally talented in creating a piece just for you. I already knew what I wanted and spoke with Wes about size and scale. I wasn’t 100% sure on the exact location on my hand I wanted my piece but Wes helped me with the proper placement to really help the piece come to life. I’d strongly recommend to any to give burning hearts a go you won’t be disappointed.

2 years, 2 tattoos and counting! My artist is Joe Murph. His style is unique but traditional and he adds his own touch to his work. I absolutely love his work and am so proud of the two pieces he has done on me. He takes his time and puts his heart and soul into his work. The great attention to detail, color, and artistic ability is what drew me to choosing Joe. Great artist who really makes sure youre comfortable at every step of the process. The other artists do some pretty amazing work and you can see it from the shops social media pages and through customers public posts. Definitely a great experience and shop and theyre very reasonable. I look forward to getting my next tattoo from Joe soon! Keep up the good work!!

Review №128

Since my first tattoo here, Burning Hearts will always be my first choice when Im looking to get tattooed; specifically by the hands of tattoo artist Joe Murph. All of my tattoos are from this talented guy, as his warm & friendly presence gives me a craving to continue getting work done from him. Not to mention, Joe pays CLOSE attention to detail when you explain your idea to him, and executes it with PRECISE craftsmanship during the appointment. I am very picky with tattoos..and Joe has always seemed to hit the nail on the head in executing the vision I have for the tattoo. This shop is SO clean, professional, and friendly, to the extent where my hour-long drive for a tattoo from this place is more than worth it. I would recommended Joe to ANYONE looking to get a tattoo because he masters VARIOUS tattoo styles, and has every intention of giving you something worth showing off. Very compassionate guy that genuinely cares about his clients & truly loves what he does.

I wouldnt go anywhere else. Not before or after my Transplant or Cancer or Amputation.Taylor is awsome, only one I see.

I called Jay Mynahan ask Jay Mynahan questions and jay just said book an appointment online without answering my questions saying the pricing on there is what he charges jay told me to go make an appointment it says body pericing are 45 to 85 so i booked the appointment then he doubles the price to 150 and jay excuse is on the website its general pricing but it clearly says body pericing but they ended up talking to me and we had a misunderstanding but he did keep his word and he did the pericing so at the end of the day more communication and everything would been good but jay Mynahan did an amazing job his skills are on point
