He did a great job, the koi looks great and you can't see any remnants of the old tat.“

“Go see Lindsey! Me and a friend was at Ala Moana shopping around and we randomly decided to get our piercings that we've been wanting to do. Me and my earlobes and her helix. We walked in and Lindsey greeted us and we told her what we wanted. She had us fill out paper work and looked at and chose earrings that we wanted while she set up the room. She led us into her room and I decided to go first. She looked at my ears and showed me where she would be piercing, walked me through everything that would be happening, and I was pierced! It wasn't painful at all, it felt like a scratch. After that, my friend got her helix done and she informed us of the aftercare. After our visit Lindsey texted us and sent us a Piercing Aftercare pdf file and to let her know if we had any issues or questions. A month later we saw her again to let her look at our piercings and resize our earrings. Lindsey is amazing and I am happy I got my earlobes pierced by her. She is very professional, friendly, and very clean. I would definitely recommended her and I cannot wait to get more piercings“
