Piercing near Ankeny

“The first time I went to Pink Elephant was to get 4 different piercings. I got both my lobes done, my conch, and my helix. I have been back 3 times since (once to size the bars down, another time because my conch earring fell out and it had closed a little so I couldn't get it back in, and most recently because I needed help changing my piercings). I had no issues with my piercings healing and the process getting them done was easy and quick. The staff has been incredibly nice even when I felt silly for half the things I went in for. Most times I have been able to walk in and have been seen very quickly. I do recommend making an appointment for piercings though, just so you can be sure you're going on the days the piercers are in! The most recent time I went in, they gave me a few different tips on how to change the piercings and suggested different tools I could use. I plan on getting all of my piercings done here and am really excited to do so!“

“It was our first experience at Lucky Gal and I was extremely impressed! Most tattoo and piercing places I have been to just seem dirty. However I was pleasantly surprised walking in to LG. We were greeted with a smile and very informative and helpful employee who got us on the list to have multiple piercings done on our kids. Macie did an absolutely wonderful job, making the process very comfortable and gave us a lot of advice on how to care for the piercings. All in all we had a total of 4 piercings done, which were very affordable, even on two kids, and we're out the door within 40 minutes! Even our kids were so impressed with everything especially after having such a terrible experience at another place in town. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back!!!“

“Had an emergency when my original artist flaked out on me and I had to get the work finished asap. Jeremiah was super friendly, and not only stayed late to help me last minute, but did an amazing job. This place will be first on my list for any future work.“

“We had booked out two full days at the shop to complete one tattoo and get two more new ones with Paul. We were traveling from the east coast, and our flights were cancelled due to the hurricane hours before our flight. The front desk was so helpful and kind, and worked with us to find a solution that works for them and us. My husband and I cannot express how quickly, empathically, and professionally this was handled. We already rescheduled and booked new flights. The artists here are super talented and we’re so excited to come out. Thank you again, Ironheart and Paul!

“Davo is amazing! Talks you through everything he's doing, gives you all the after care instructions and will answer any questions well after the piercing is done. My peurcung from him healed better than other I've had! Will definitely go back to him!!“

“Got my first tattoo here from Brent. Went super smooth and the tattoo looks exactly like what I wanted. Will definitely be back for more!“

“My best friend and I both decided to get a tattoo together and found this place. We went in and were immediately greeted and had a quick consult on the tattoo. We showed the artist (I think his name was Craig) and asked him to make some changes. He came back with something incredible and perfect. It had way more detail than the image we brought in. It came out better than we could have imagined. He was personal and professional, and I will definitely come back here for another.

Plus, I definitely loved watching step brothers in the lobby, it made the experience even better!“

“Expo has been awesome for a loooong long time now!! I loved Nick as a piercer and the current piercer is awesome too!! Will continue to here for my piercings and introduced my son to this place as well! Thanks for always being the best ??“
