Camouflage Tattooing in Nairobi, Kenya

Camouflage Tattooing — also known as paramedical tattooing, skin tone tattooing, or skin camouflage — is a specialized cosmetic tattoo procedure that helps conceal imperfections, scars, or skin discoloration by blending them into the surrounding skin tone.

Camouflage Tattooing Procedure

Purpose of Camouflage Tattooing

The primary purpose of camouflage tattooing is to improve the appearance of skin imperfections by blending them more naturally with the surrounding skin tone. It is a non-invasive cosmetic solution designed to restore confidence and comfort by minimizing the visibility of skin conditions or irregularities.

Key Goals of Camouflage Tattooing:

Conceal Scars and Stretch Marks: Helps mask surgical scars, injury scars, or stretch marks by neutralizing discoloration.
Correct Skin Discoloration: Ideal for conditions like vitiligo, hypopigmentation, or burns, where pigment has been lost or altered.
Restore Natural Appearance: Creates a more even and balanced skin tone to match the client’s surrounding skin, reducing the contrast.
Boost Emotional Well-Being: By reducing visible signs of trauma or skin issues, it helps restore self-esteem, especially in areas where traditional makeup or creams don’t work.
Alternative to Surgical Treatments: Offers a less invasive, more affordable solution for those not ready or eligible for cosmetic surgery.
Improve Quality of Life: Especially valuable for clients who feel limited by their skin’s appearance in social, professional, or intimate settings.

Camouflage Tattooing Technique

Camouflage tattooing is a highly specialized technique that uses micropigmentation (tattooing) to deposit custom-blended skin tone pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. The goal is to minimize the appearance of scars, stretch marks, or skin discoloration by matching the pigment to the surrounding natural skin.

Step-by-Step Overview of the Technique:

Consultation & Assessment
– Our trained professional examines the skin condition to determine if the client is a good candidate (e.g., scar maturity, stability of vitiligo, skin tone).
– Medical history, skin sensitivity, and expectations are discussed.
– A patch test may be done to rule out pigment allergies.
Color Matching
– Pigments are custom-blended to closely match our client’s surrounding skin tone.
– Our artists may mix multiple shades to layer during the procedure, as natural skin is not a flat color.
Skin Preparation
– The area is cleaned and sometimes numbed with a topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort.
– The skin should be free of active irritation, inflammation, or open wounds.
Micropigmentation Application
– Using a tattoo machine or digital micropigmentation device, the pigment is implanted into the dermal layer.
– Fine needles create controlled punctures where pigment is deposited.
– Our artist uses soft shading, stippling, or pixel techniques for a realistic, diffused blend — not harsh or solid lines.
Layering & Building Color
– Camouflage is often built in multiple layers across 2–3 sessions to create dimension and prevent over-saturation.
– This helps mimic natural skin texture and tone variations.
Aftercare & Healing
– Our clients receive detailed aftercare instructions: keep the area clean, moisturized, and protected from sun exposure.
– Healing typically takes 7–10 days superficially, but full pigment settling occurs over 4–8 weeks.
– A touch-up session may be scheduled to refine color and coverage.

Tools Used:

Digital tattoo machine or rotary tattoo pen
Microneedles (usually 1 to 3-point configurations)
Specialized paramedical or skin-tone pigments (not regular tattoo ink)
Topical anesthetic (optional)

Important Notes on Technique:

The skin should be fully healed and at least 12–18 months post-trauma or surgery.
The technique works best on flat, light-colored scars or stretch marks.
Pigments may shift over time due to UV exposure, skin cell turnover, or individual healing responses — hence, periodic touch-ups may be needed.

Number of Sessions for Camouflage Tattooing

Camouflage tattooing is not a one-time treatment — it typically requires multiple sessions to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Typical Session Breakdown:

Initial Consultation: No tattooing done; the artist evaluates the area, explains the process, and may perform a patch test.
First Tattooing Session
– Light layering of pigment is applied.
– This acts as a base and helps assess how the skin retains pigment after healing.
Follow-Up Sessions
– Usually done 4–8 weeks apart to allow the skin to fully heal and the pigment to settle.
– Color and coverage are adjusted and built up gradually for a seamless blend.

Total Number of Sessions:

Skin Condition	Sessions Needed
Light Scars or Stretch Marks	2–3 sessions
Moderate Discoloration	3–4 sessions
Large Areas or Complex Cases	4–6+ sessions
Vitiligo (stable, small areas)	2–4 sessions
Burn Scars or Mixed Tones	4–6+ sessions

Why Multiple Sessions Are Necessary:

Skin may absorb pigment unevenly.
Color matching may need fine-tuning.
Healing and pigment retention vary from person to person.
Building pigment gradually avoids over-saturation or unnatural appearance.

Maintenance & Touch-Ups:

Results can last 2–5 years depending on skin type, location, sun exposure, and lifestyle.
Touch-up sessions may be needed every 1–3 years to maintain results.

Camouflage Tattooing Pain & Healing Process

While camouflage tattooing is generally well-tolerated, the pain and healing experience can vary depending on the area treated, individual pain threshold, and skin condition.

Pain Level: What to Expect

Mild to Moderate Discomfort: Most of our clients describe the sensation as light scratching, tingling, or similar to a mild sunburn.
Factors Affecting Pain:
– Area of the Body: Thinner skin (e.g., inner arms, ribs) may feel more sensitive.
– Skin Condition: Scar tissue may have reduced or heightened sensitivity.
– Tattooing Depth: Since pigment is deposited in the upper dermis, it’s shallower than traditional tattoos.
Topical Numbing Creams may be used before or during the session to ease discomfort.

Healing Timeline: Step-by-Step

Days 1–3: Initial Healing
– Treated area may appear red, swollen, or slightly raised
– Minor tenderness and sensitivity
– Some pigment may look darker or bolder than expected
Days 4–7: Peeling Stage
– A light peeling or flaking may occur, similar to dry skin
– Avoid picking or scratching to prevent pigment loss or scarring
Days 7–14: Subtle Fading
– Pigment begins to settle and lighten
– Skin may look patchy as pigment integrates beneath the surface
Weeks 3–6: Color Stabilization
– True color becomes more visible as the skin fully regenerates
– A follow-up session may be booked to fine-tune pigment

Healing Completion

Most healing occurs in 10–14 days, but full pigment settling takes 4–8 weeks
A touch-up may be required after the skin heals completely

Camouflage Tattooing Aftercare Guide

Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal healing, color retention, and a natural-looking result after your camouflage tattooing procedure. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you care for your skin post-treatment:

Day-By-Day Aftercare Instructions

First 24 Hours
– Gently blot the area with a clean tissue or sterile gauze to remove lymph fluid.
– Keep the area clean and dry — do not apply any ointments yet unless instructed.
Days 2–7
– Cleanse the area 1–2 times a day using a fragrance-free, gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.
– Pat dry with a clean towel — don’t rub.
– Apply a thin layer of a recommended healing ointment (e.g., Aquaphor, Hustle Butter, or artist-approved balm).
– Avoid heavy creams, petroleum jelly, or anything that could clog pores or suffocate the area.
What to Avoid (Days 1–14)
– Do not scratch, pick, or peel — let the skin flake naturally.
– Avoid excessive sweating, saunas, swimming pools, or hot tubs.
– No makeup, skincare products, or exfoliants on the treated area.
– Keep the area out of direct sunlight — UV rays can distort the healing pigment.
Long-Term Aftercare (After 2 Weeks)
– Once fully healed, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to preserve pigment color and prevent fading.
– Use gentle skincare products — avoid acids (like glycolic or retinoids) on or near the area.
– Stay hydrated and maintain overall skin health for better longevity.

Healing Timeline

Initial healing: 7–10 days
Peeling/flaking: Day 4–7
Full pigment settling: 4–8 weeks
Touch-up session: Recommended after 6–8 weeks

Signs to Watch For

If you experience any of the following, contact your artist or a medical professional:

Excessive swelling or redness beyond 3 days
Pus or unusual discharge
Fever or chills
Allergic reaction (itching, hives, rash)

Cost of Camouflage Tattooing in Nairobi, Kenya

The cost of camouflage tattooing can vary significantly based on size, complexity, skin condition, and number of sessions needed. It’s considered a specialized, high-skill service — often performed by trained paramedical or cosmetic tattoo artists.

Typical Price Range

Treatment Area	Estimated Cost (KSH)
Small scar (1–3 inches)	Ksh. - Ksh.

Full treatment package (multi-session)	Ksh. - Ksh.

Factors That Influence Cost

Size of the Area Treated: Larger or multiple areas naturally cost more.
Number of Sessions Required: Most treatments need 2–4 sessions for full coverage and blending. Some complex cases may need more.
Artist’s Experience & Location: Highly skilled or medically trained artists in major cities may charge more due to demand and expertise.
Pigment Customization: Skin-tone matching requires custom-blended pigments and multiple shades, which adds to the cost.
Type of Skin Condition: Scars, burns, stretch marks, and vitiligo all heal and retain pigment differently, which can affect session length and complexity.
Inclusion of Touch-Up Sessions: Some artists include 1–2 touch-ups in the original price; others charge separately.

Maintenance Costs

Touch-up sessions (every 1–3 years): Ksh. – Ksh.
Pigment refresh or color correction: Depends on fading and skin changes

Just recently got my first tattoo here. Eric was very professional, taking the time to actualise my idea to life (we discussed designs for about 2 days). What I liked most is that he takes time to really understand what you're aiming for, so that you have no regrets. Couldn't recommend a more professional service especially if you're on the fence about getting one done.
Secondly, he's got impressive craftsmanship because the tattoo came out exactly as I imagined, and he also takes the time to check up on you during the healing phase. Couldn't recommend a better artist! Cheers man! I'll be back for the second one🔥

My sisters and I came in to Rebel inks a couple weeks ago and it was one of the best piercing experiences I’ve ever had.

Outstanding Tattoo Experience!
I am extremely happy with my new 'Safari' tattoo from Eric at Rebel Inks! The quality of the artwork is fantastic. Eric is a true professional and an amazing artist.

The preparation and design process was thorough and collaborative. He was very patient with my specific requests, including making sure all the elements, which hold personal meaning, were perfect.

The service was friendly and highly professional from start to finish. Despite the 8-hour session, Eric was a pleasant person to spend the time with.

The aftercare guidance and follow-up have been excellent and careful, which has made the healing process easy and better than expected.

I highly recommend Eric for anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and caring tattoo artist.

Working with Eric to get a tattoo while on my trip to Africa was awesome! I was worried that coordinating such a feat with a small window of time would not work out but Eric was very accommodating and was willing to work with me. The commutation was great. He really listened to what I wanted and helped to create a piece that perfectly represents my time there. Excellent work and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Eric for all your tattoo needs in Nairobi!!

Got my lip pierced here and the service was top-tier.

The staff were super friendly, explained everything clearly, and made me feel so at ease. They answered all my nervous questions (and I had many questions),

They walked me through the whole process, gave detailed aftercare instructions, and even followed up afterward to check how I was healing 🫶

Clean, professional, and full of good vibes.

Eric is not only an amazing tattoo artist but he is also just a great person! From the beginning of our communications before I was even in Kenya, to weeks after getting the tattoo, Eric was incredibly patient and attentive with me.
This was the second tattoo I got and I wish I could have come to Eric for my first one! He gave me really great after-care directions for the tattoo as well as a little jar of his own Vaseline-type stuff to put over my tattoo while it was healing! He even put second skin over my tattoo so that I didn’t have to worry about it for the first few days. Now THAT’S good service. My first tattoo artist didn’t do none of that lol.
After the session Eric didn’t rush me and my friend out, he chatted with us and even when he found out I was an artist too— really encouraged me to keep creating and to find a community of artists to support me. I almost cried because I’ve had such a hard time with my own art the past couple of years, it meant so much to me to have a fellow very talented artist say that to me. 🤍🤍🤍
Eric you’re amazing, don’t ever stop creating and just know you’ve impacted lives all over the world!🫶🏻 thanks so much for everything!!

I had the absolute best experience at Rebel Ink in Nairobi! I wanted a tattoo to commemorate the two months I spent volunteering in a local hospital, and Eric created the perfect piece an Africa outline with an elephant and lion. His skill and artistry are second to none.

From the moment I walked in, Eric was professional, welcoming, and attentive. He made sure I was comfortable throughout, provided everything I needed, and explained every step of the process. The tattooing itself was unbelievably smooth - I genuinely felt no pain compared to my previous tattoos over the last 22 years.

Eric also gave me excellent aftercare guidance and products, and thanks to that, my tattoo healed beautifully. The attention to detail, precision, and shading are absolutely stunning. This is hands-down the best tattoo I've ever had, and I will be flying back to Nairobi for any future ink.

If you want incredible art, a professional experience, and a talented artist who truly cares about his clients, Rebel Ink is the place to go!

I had a great experience at Rebel Inks with Eric who was very professional and accommodating. Mine was a re-piercing and he took his time to understand the anatomy and advise accordingly.

I intend to go back for other services in future.

Eric and James were great! They managed to fit me and my husband into their schedule last minute and they made efforts to make sure we got our first ever unique tattoo designs to look the way we liked before starting the tattoo process. Eric did my tattoo (Jellyfish) and James did my husbands'(Elephant and Lion African content) with both taking 7-8 hours and came out very nicely. The tattoo shop was clean and we were made to feel comfortable. Eric ensured we had clear aftercare instructions. He also checked in on us in the weeks that followed to make sure we were healing well, and it was easy to get hold of him when either of us had questions.

Super professional, easy to talk to, and you can tell he really cares about his work and the people he works with. The studio was clean, the vibe was right, and the tattoo healed up perfectly. I’ll definitely be coming back for more work — highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for quality, clean lines, and an artist who actually gets it.

I had my navel piercing done in April, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Eric was not only professional but also incredibly kind and patient. What stood out most was how he consistently followed up by texting to ask how the piercing was healing and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way.

We ended up changing the jewelry three times to ensure I had the best fit and avoided any signs of rejection, and he always listened to my suggestions as a client, which I really appreciated. Now, three months in, my piercing is healing beautifully, with no sign of rejection. Highly recommend for anyone who values a piercer who cares about your comfort and healing journey!

I had a fantastic experience at Rebel Inks Tattoo in Nairobi. Eric was extremely professional and took his time to make sure everything was perfect. The tattoo came out even better than I expected, and the studio was very clean and welcoming.

What stood out the most was the aftercare Eric checked in with me even three weeks later to see how the tattoo was healing. That kind of follow-up shows how much he truly cares about his work and his clients.

I’m very satisfied and will definitely be coming back for my next piece. Highly recommend!

Went here for a simple "hakuna matata" tattoo and after the consultation with Eric, dramatically changed/enhanced the idea to include a lion and put it in a completely different location. Went back on Saturday and we did the tattoo and it took around 8 hours, after 2 hours of getting the stencil right, and the placement perfect.

Eric also did a belly button piercing for a friend, guiding her through the process, doing the piercing and then explaining the after care to her.

The shop is on the 3rd floor, with the entrance to the stairs near an alleyway on the left. The shop is perfect size, clean, and attractive looking. The mural is pretty dope.

Excellent service and highly recommend. Was visiting Nairobi and wanted to get a tattoo while there. Eric fit me into his schedule with very short notice on my part. His studio is clean and comfortable and his lines and images were just as clean and precise. The tattoo was exactly what I wanted. His post-care instructions and kit were easy to follow and apply. He also followed up with me weekly post appointment just to check how the tattoo was healing. One of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend.

Being my first tattoo, I was very sceptical about where I'll get my tattoo. I did look for some other places but the vibe was just not there. Then a friend of mine suggested to check out rebel ink since it's next to where I work and I did and am so glad i found this place. Eric is so kind and very good at his job. Not only did my tattoo look like it came directly from pinterest, there was minimal pain, the hygiene is on another level and the after care service just out of this world. Thank you so much rebel in for my first and it sure won't be my last 🥰

I had an excellent experience
I got piercibgs there and the process was really good. My biggest concern was hygiene but that wasn't an issue at all, they use new needles and they sanitize them.

The service itself was also welcoming.
I was informes of everything i needed to know beforehand.

10/10 would recommend!

Amazing place to get piercings! My daughter and i got our ears pierced on a holiday to Nairobi from Australia.

Eric was so calm and patient with my almost 2 year old lady. It was such a clean and hygienic process. We will definitely be back for our second rounds of piercings and maybe even another tattoo!

They assess the area before any art and advise one accordingly. They also give one post clean up process and also do a check up after the body art projects. Overall, I loved my experience and I’m hooked. 👍

As a tourist it's always a little daunting getting a tattoo in a different country but from the moment I messaged Eric I felt more comfortable.
He listened to what I actually wanted and made sure he could fit in the time before I flew back home.
The shop is clean & private and is easy enough to find.
Eric has even checked in a couple of times since to make sure all is good.
I would totally recommend Eric! I absolutely love my Elephants!

I had an amazing experience with Rebel Inks! From start to finish, the process was smooth and comfortable. He made sure to check in with me twice after the session to ensure that my tattoo was healing properly, which I really appreciated. The design turned out beautifully, and the quality is just fantastic. It healed so well too—no issues at all. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to get a tattoo!

This was a last minute decision to get a tatoo, Eric was very understanding and professional with his help I was able to choose and adjust my tatoo...I had a previous scar that I wanted to cover and yet put a sentimental tatoo in memory of someone dear. I had never had tattoos before so I was about afraid but the professionalism is very high so I relaxed and let them do my tatoo...
I had a very easy healing period and always follow up from Eric to check on my progress...I would highly recommend if you are a first timer because from my experience all went very well and attention to detail
Thank you for a good job and looking forward to send all my friends your way
And all the best with the new year 2025!

Besides the great work, he also went totally out of his way to assist us in a Sunday afternoon. Thank you Eric. You deserve to go far in life.

The piercing artist was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process thoroughly, answering all my questions with patience and professionalism. Their expertise was evident, and their steady hand made the piercing quick and virtually painless. What impressed me the most was their ethical approach to body piercing. They emphasized safety, sterilization, and proper aftercare, ensuring I left feeling confident about my decision and equipped to care for my new piercing.

I went to Rebel Inks unsure and scared of getting my second lobe piercings but it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. The whole process was smooth, painless and the results so far are 100% satisfying because one, Eric was incredibly professional. He took the time to explain the whole process, answered every question that I had and listened to my preferences. He was patient and ensured that I was comfortable throughout.
Two, all the equipments he used for the piercings were new and/or sterilised.
Three, the parlour itself was very clean and was up to par with the hygiene standards.
Four, Eric provided effective aftercare instructions, making sure I knew exactly how to take care of my new piercings and he kept in touch and continues to do so, to check on the healing progress.
I highly highly highly recommend this place!!!

I recently got my second and third lobe piercings at this shop, and I’m 100% satisfied with the results! The piercer was incredibly professional and took the time to listen to my preferences and requirements, ensuring that I was comfortable throughout the process. He was very patient and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted.

Not only was the piercing process smooth, but he also provided thorough aftercare instructions, making sure I knew exactly how to take care of my new piercings. What really impressed me was that he keeps in touch to check on how the healing is progressing – a sign of true care for his clients.

The shop maintains a high standard of hygiene, and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, which really added to the positive experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a professional and caring experience. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future piercings!

Fantastic experience - Eric worked skilfully and patiently to nail the vision of our anniversary tattoo design. It was my partner's first tattoo and she was made to feel very comfortable throughout the process, with no pressure around time to get it just right. Also checked in with us to make sure we were taking care of the new tatts properly. Great people, thoroughly recommended 👍

I got my first tattoo here and it was a great experience! He did a great job working with me to make a design I loved and paid a lot of attention to details. The tattoo came out amazing and he made sure to follow up to monitor the healing process. Great place to get a permanent memory of Nairobi!

Great experience, the artist listens and is really diligent. The hygiene and equipment are top notch! Sterilization of equipment and single-use needles. After the tattoo the artist remains in contact with you to follow the progress of the healing of the tattoo and advises you on the products suitable for your tattoos.

I highly recommend.

I found Eric’s piercing servicing professional. He asked and listened thoroughly what I exactly requested, then we agreed on the piercing (upper-helix) and procedure. It started with explaining step by step how he would set the piercing and then undertook the work with uttermost detail. I am very happy with the result and also appreciate Eric’s aftersales support and health check-ins.

My experience at rebel inks was quite interesting. It was my first time getting a tattoo but Eric was very professional and encouraging. After the session he took his time to explain the after care process and even after he followed up on the healing process. I highly recommend this place for anyone thinking about a tattoo or a piercing.

I cannot say enough about Eric and the experience he gave me. First of all, he fit me in when I was running short on time and helped me to find his shop. I just wanted a meaningful word tattooed and promised it would be small and quick. When I didn't love the fonts we came across, he free-handed a stunning font. He made sure the placement was perfect and checked in with me and we decided to just leave it as the outline without filling it all in and even with the change of plans the line work was perfection. Eric also charged me half of what I was quoted several other places even after he drew the design himself on the spot. It was the best overall experience I've had in a tattoo shop. I cannot speak highly enough of Eric's care for clients, artistic skill, or fairness in operating his business.

Me and my 3 friends all got ear piercings. Two of us got the conch, one got the upper cartilage, the other got her second holes. He was very professional, clean, accurate, and caring. All 4 of our piercings have healed great and he has been so kind to reach out and care about the aftercare of our piercings. If I lived in Nairobi, I would get all my piercings here! 100% would recommend him to anyone. The titanium jewelry is great quality as well.

My experience at Rebel Inks was exceptional. It was my first time getting a piercing, and I was understandably nervous. However, Eric, the piercer, was reassuring and professional. He explained the earlobe piercing process in detail and answered all of my questions before beginning.

I was particularly impressed with Eric's attention to hygiene. He thoroughly cleaned the room before I entered, sanitized all of the equipment he would be using, and changed gloves between each ear. This level of cleanliness gave me great confidence in his professionalism.

Eric's commitment to customer service did not end on the day of the piercing. He followed up with me regularly throughout the healing process to ensure that I was following the aftercare instructions and that my earlobes were healing properly.

I highly recommend Rebel Inks to anyone in Nairobi who is considering getting a piercing. Eric is a highly skilled and experienced piercer who takes great pride in his work.

I got my belly button piercing from Eric. I have had 2 piercings done before and I've never received service as good as his. He explained the piercing and after care processes in detail and was very patient with my many questions...I'm considering paying him school fees 😂. His hygiene standards are very high and he used a disposable sterilized needle. He followed up on my healing progress weekly...I felt like we were healing together 😅. I wish it was possible to give 10 stars. I'm definitely having my future piercings done with him and I'm recommending him to all my friends 😃

Got my upper ear piercing done and my experience was fabulous. I highly appreciate the professionalism shown by Eric. He made sure I was made aware of the process before he started the work. He also explained me the healing process and the complications which was actually great to know as most places do not care to talk about the work in so much detail.
The place is neat and clean and the equipments he used were also fine standards. Really appreciate his following up with me on the healing 🤗

I first went through their website to engage more on their services. I was particularly interested in the nose ring service. The communication from the day I made an appointment was very professional as well as the services offered. Eric explained in great detail the step by step procedure and was very patient with our questions. He administered effective hygiene and even let my friend record a video of the procedure. The after care followup is also great as Eric keeps checking up on the healing process on a weekly basis as well as giving additional guidance on the after care.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES to everyone. Actually what you see on their website is EXACTLY what you will get. Keep up the good work Rebel inks Tattoos.

I went to Eric for the first time to get help with an earring infection I couldn’t get rid of for months. I quickly got an appointment. He took time to listen to my concerns and previous treatments. He then recommended we try a different approach, changing the piercing and treating it as it was fresh. He gave great advise on how to clean and which care products to use. Throughout the whole session he was very friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. The weeks after he was checking in on how the piercing was doing.
The infection is now gone. I would definitely recommend!

Chris B

I got my ears pierced and the whole procedure was more than great. The space was very clean and time was taken to chose the right spot. He took his time to clean up after and we had a nice talk, too with many helpful information on cleaning and sanitizing the new Piercings. Even after we were done there was a weekly follow up on our healing process.
Can recommend this place totally and would go back there anytime!
Thanks!

I was so pleased with the service I got. I received a septum piercing from Eric and based on my experience with him, I wouldn't trust anyone else with any other piercings that I might get. He's very sanitary and walks you through the entire process making you feel comfortable and at ease. He also follows up on his clients concerning after care and is very easy to talk to. I would definitely refer anyone looking for to get a piercing, tattoo or tattoo removal here!
