TRIED and True Tattoos Piercings

Loved the piercing itself, they did great and were very pleasant. My problem is that they tightened the balls of the piercing with pliers, and when I came back to complain they said they did it on purpose and that Id have to pay to get the ball removed. Struck me wrong.

Chris was so professional & took her time to make sure the piercings were be center. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my baby’s ears! Ive already told a few people to bring their kids here.

Definitely will come back for another piercing it was super quick and the piercer and front desk lady were super sweet and 40$ for a nose ring is a good price. Thank you 💕 edit: just came for a lip piercing and Christine was wonderful once again I will only let her pierce me! Super quick and very reasurring! If u ever need a piercing Christine is the one! Luv ya girl Ill be back soon 🖤

Service was fast and friendly! Christine did a great job doing my orbital lobe piercing! Will be back to do my other ear with her.

We went today for my daughter’s birthday . She wanted her nose pierced . After reading some reviews I just wanted to write about our experience. Christine was very professional, considerate towards us by explaining and talked my daughter thru the whole thing because she was nervous . Her shop is very pretty , it’s clean and also I loved that she had her kids involved by taking the payments and such they were really nice to us and it is very nice to see . This really made my daughters birthday special . Now hoping for a smooth healing process . Thank you

Pierced both my daughter’s ears here. They did a wonderful job at making them feel comfortable and easing any fears that they had. Even pierced a teddy bear’s ears. Would highly recommend.

I’ve gotten multiple piercings here and they’ve all been awesome. Super fast, super friendly and always professional.

Have been here a few times in the past. Great work and Chris is super nice and thorough and gets it right! Never feels like she is rushing just to get to the next client, makes sure your questions are answered and that youre alright before leaving. I have recommended a few friends to go to her for their piercings.

Christine did an awesome job as usual she had me in and out her chair just as quick as I walked in got 3 piercing and it was fast she asked if I was okay the whole time made sure I was comfortable will be going back for my lounge piercing

I’ve gotten two sets of lobes, an industrial, helix and conch and they’ve all healed wonderfully! All done by Christine she always does an amazing job for me! My favorite place to get pierced !

Chris is amazing! She did all my piercings and my 1st baby ears. She did such a good job with her that I haven’t even got my youngest 2 done yet because I want her to do them. (I live in Houston now)It’s always so clean and she makes you feel comfortable for sure. 10/10 recommend.💜

Ive had several body parts pierced by Chris, the shop is always clean! She done each job safely, thoroughly, and efficiently. And on top of all that Chris always ensures Im comfortable and calm. She walks me through the process and has made each and every visit and experience a pleasant one. I have referred many family members and friends to Chris and Joe. 10 out of 10...I highly recommend!

I got my 1 year old daughters ears pierced here. I was a little nervous, because I knew she was gonna cry. Our piecer, Christine, was patient and knowledgeable. She explained the process, what different products she had available based on our preferences, the after care, and gave our daughter a little toy when she was done.The prices were were fair for the level of care we received. It was an overall pleasant experience, this is now our go to spot for all our piercings & tattoos. Thanks again!

Really nice people! And very friendly environment! Chris is very thorough when it comes to what she does. Takes time and walks you through the process and explains piercing care. 10/10 recommended and deff will use again! Shes done my Snake bites. My daughters ears and like 10+ on my wife from nose to all the names of the ear piercings I dont know🤣 highly recommend!

I hesitated to write this cause They we’re nice but I have to speak up. I walked in to find myself third in line. No problem. I waited and watched the lady pierce two people before me and take her time and make them feel really comfy. Laid them down and walked them through her rings for sale. When it was my turn she skipped me a black man and went directly to the white folks that were clearly there after me, because they were in the line behind me. I held my hands up and the secretary called her name so as to let her know she skipped me. She was like omg I don’t know who’s here first but I think she did. She led me to the chair it felt really rushed and I didn’t feel comforted and all like it was all about me like the folks before me. When I left I felt really bad about what happened. I also noticed I had blood running down my septum ring and it wasn’t even all the way in like it was rushed.

Chris, thank you for always being so professional and making the environment so comfortable. You have such a good personality and always has a way of making your clients smile. It is because of you that if want a new piercing I will happily make the trip! Keep being you and thank you for always being so kind!-Mia

Chris did my 17 yr old daughters septum piercing for her birthday as she has done all my kids piercings and everything went smoothly as always starting from as soon as we walked in even as my daughter was nervous sitting in the chair, Chris was quick and my daughter didnt even feel it. Thank you for all you do Chris and Skyler!! Yall are both so sweet!

I have gotten both tattoos as well as piercings at tride and true. the shop is very clean and is and smells very sterile, immediate green flag! the receptionist is very kind and patient and does a great job assuring they have the paperwork they need! both days that i went in to get my tattoos and piercings done they were very quick to get me into the chair, whether they were packed or having a slow hour. Chris(the piercer) has very beautiful tattoos and piercings herself so you really do believe her when she says she knows what she’s doing ! :) no matter what you’re getting pierced she’s very quick, but thorough and precise. everything is very sterile. for my tattoos, both times i went and got them done, i usually showed up early to my appointment time and was able to get situated while joe was finishing up another client. i always loved seeing the clients smiling as they walked by, excited about their new tattoo or piercing! once i got in the back, joe was very polite and understanding about new clients being nervous! it was very refreshing! he has a lot of cool life stories and does his best to help you through! it is mesmerizing seeing the way he creates art out of nothing, and his work truly is art! if you’re ever in the victoria area and got a little big of change burning a hole in your pocket i definitely recommend coming here!!! you won’t regret it! customer for life here ! 😌

The shop is not for people of colour (i was chased out the shop for asking for an appointment and this is true guys ,,that guy who works in that shop as a tatoo boy is RACIST,ARROGANT ,and unwilling to serve customers especially black people ! am not trying to turnish his name i was just treated that way !! I know yu remember me Joe,,,Objection thats false i neva called nobody names yu have cctv yu can pull the video wen i walked in i was surprised since i called him earlier and let him know i was gonna be late coz of school.I walked in and yu pretended yu didnt even see me i asked to reschedule yu bashed me with insults imagine ,, AM NOT LYING ,, MAY God save yu from wat ur going through.Coming here and saying i insulted yu ,yu are dead wrong for that .Karma is real brother 🤧🤧🤧

The team at this shop are amazing!! I got my nose pierced here and Chris was super sweet!! And quick… I love the selection of jewelry they have and how informative she was my Nose healed up beautifully and I love my nose ring 🤘🏽

I went in for my second piercing & as usual Christine was awesome. She was very personable & provided a quick service. Would definitely recommend.

You won’t get better service anywhere else. This place and the owners are amazing. I will not let anyone but Joe tattoo me and anyone but Christine pierce me. I live hours away and I make the drive because they are the best around. Very clean establishment and very professional.

The ladies working were very sweet and answered all my questions. They made a point to make sure I liked the placement of my piercing and gave me instructions as to the care of the piercings. The jewelry was simple but elegant and made of titanium to insure less chance of infection. It was very clean as well. Highly recommend if your wanting nice piercings.

Got septum done and it was fast and painless, yes 1 tear shed but experience was awesome.

I’ve been going to this shop on and off for YEARS! Seriously love the customer service. Even took my sister in for her very first piercing because I know how comfortable the piercer would make her feel. ❤️

Could not be happier with my bridge! She was so sweet and answered every question I had including questions I had about a previous piercing. I cant wait for my next one!

I’ve been to Christina a few times , my kids as well she is always professional and funny and explains to us every step of the way what she is doing ! She is great at what she does ! Thank you for always showing me and my family respect and being so quick !! She is the bomb y’all !! 🔥

I’ve had a few piercings from here! She’s quick, clean and very knowledgeable!! Jewelry selection is,hands down, the BEST in town!!! I’ve also had a ton of work done from her hubby!! ❤️

Christine was nice and the process was fast. Her 12 years of experience really shows, a great place to go to especially if its your first time getting a piercing, I will definitely go back for future piercings

If you have a darker skin pigment , do not go here. You have been warned. Turn around and go to someone else. This is an amerikkkan shop. You know what I mean.

I got my piercings only from christian from tried and true... shes patient and sweet and mad sure I was okay. Her and her husband are good people.

Went to get my nose done today, everyone was so kind. My piercer was awesome, very patient with me and she was quick. I was in and out in less than 30 mins. Definitely recommend

What a wonderful experience! I had my septum done, my first ever facial piercing so I was pretty nervous, but it was completely painless. Done in less than 5 minutes, really clean and fast. Everyone was super kind and did their best to calm the atmosphere. Highly suggest it for anyone looking to get piercings!Edit: A year later, got my nipples done here. Nothings changed, quick and easy. Very clean, piercer is cautious and patient. Would definitely come back again for more.

Very clean, professional, and time efficient. Signed a paper, they took me back, and then got my piercing. Took a total of maybe 10 minutes or less. My nose piercing was placed nicely too! 👍 10/10 experience. Only paid $43 including a big bottle of saline solution for cleaning my piercing.

The only people I would go to for piercings & tattoos 💖 Started off as self harming but found myself to love getting poked 🩷 I did have bad experience with my first piercing at a different place but as soon as I got my next piercings I was as comfortable as can be 🩷 Christina has treated me well from my first piercing she did as my tongue to my recent Christina piercing 🩷 Never would she discriminate against anyone she’s literally the sweetest person & most professional. I would never choose any piercer over her 🩷

Christine is AMAZING!!! I took my daughter to her and she was extremely kind and patient with her. I highly recommend her!!!

Christine was very knowledgeable and helped me upgrade my nose piercing jewelry to something more comfortable will definitely be back to replace with a hoop!

Excellent place to go Christina is full of knowledge and is very quick. Shop is very clean and you feel welcome there. Thats the only place I go for my piercings

Ive had two piercing experiences, my daith in August and 3rd holes in my ears. The place is super clean and the piercer is very friendly.After changing out my daith jewelry I had a major hotflash. She was SO awesome to fan me down so I didnt pass out. Thank you for being so kind!

Gave me a what are you doing in here look when I walked in. I had asked about a consultation over the phone and they were polite and said come on in and we’ll help you. Not the case. No help at all! I’ve never had a tattoo before and they offered no guidance. I felt lost and the artist available said he couldn’t do any of the tattoos I picked! To many details or too small! And said maybe off the wall tats he could do. Was rude and seemed annoyed at my presence. I was very polite but even when looked lost no one at the place said or offer assistance. Never going there for anything! Rude!

I came to get my septum and bridge done, and would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a piercing. The piercer was so nice and worked really fast. She keeps her workspace clean and makes you feel comfortable during the process. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

The woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Hadnt had a piercing before, so she was careful and did a good job.

Always a great experience!!! I only buy my piercing jewelry from here and only get my piercings and change outs done by Chris!!!

Best place in town! Always clean, kind, and knows their stuff! Only place I go to for a piercing and tattoos 🖤

I went to get a nose piercing and everyone was very rude. The lady at the front said like 2 words to me the whole time I was there. The piercer was the same. Did not ask me what kind of jewelry I wanted or if I liked the placement. She literally just marked me with a sharpie and pierced me without saying a word. Will not be going back.

Been coming here for a year. Joe and christine are literally literally amazing The jewelry is always so pretty. They are true artist.

I take my daughter to get her piercings done there. Very clean. Friendly staff. They have a great selection of body jewrly. Christina is the best!

Daughter was pierced quickly. Good, fast service.

I got my second earring hole done the other day. Both the lady at the counter and the piercer were very nice. I’d definitely recommend this place and will be going back in the future.

Fast service and very friendly hope to go back soon when I have the means for my next piercing

I took my 2 young daughters to get their ears pierced they made them so comfortable, location was clean. They didnt even cry!

Mia G review isnt me, so I want to make that clear-- But im sure Joe knows that, He is a professional artist , does amazing work, and helped me get into my modeling career by tattooing me. His work speaks for itself, his shop is a clean environment ,well organized--- I highly recommend this shop. You can follow there page on facebook , where you can see many photos of his work , and other artists who work there.

Whoever answered the phone was very nice, great customer service and friendly 😊 at 3:20pm!

The most sweetest/ best piercer in Victoria! I won’t go to anyone else, 10/10 will always recommend

My daughter got her ears pierced, 3rd lobe piercing. She is severely bruised and bleeding. She did not experience this with her first two piercings that were done at another facility. Will not be returning.

Christine was extremely efficient, even when I was a big baby about the pain. She got it done faster than I thought possible. I would definitely recommend her.

This place is AWESOME. Christine is an amazing piercing artist. Very informative about the job shea doing and how to take care of. Highly recommended.

Best tattoo artist and piercing. Truly breathtaking ink art. Beautiful earrings to choose from at a wide price range.Very nice, friendly people.

Love coming here! Wouldn’t go anywhere else to get pierced or tattooed! Very clean and professional.

I was so pleased with the service and Christine is simply awesome she was nice and courteous especially since this was my first daith piercing ever I would highly recommend going there. Thank You Christine!!

The place was clean but the lady that did the piercing was not professional at all. She didnt give instructions on how to take care of the piercing or talk to to me through it. Just sit, pierced and leave..

Im giving five stars for the piercing have not looked into the tattooing. the lady who Pierced my lip was extremely nice in made me feel comfortable. Clean environment

I Went in to get a cover up on my back and this place was recommended by a friend. Worse mistake ever. After it healed u could still see the words clearly and when I went back in joe was gonna charge me again to redo it. I thought me and him had a real connection but I guess late night sessions alone at the shop are common for tattoo artists. If you know what I mean. Ehh it is what it is. Needless to say I wont be going back to joe for tattoos or anything else. Lesson learned.

Excellent service! Very clean and professional. Definitely recommend for first time piercing.

Awesome experience! Easy and fast! Even helped me with a different piercing. Thanks...greatly appreciated. Highly recommend.

Workers were nice and professional,, it was 40 including the actual piercing, the stud and the aftercare. it was also really clean, thank you!
