Best Place To Get Pierced. I've gotten pierced twice at Industrial Strength and have gone there many other times when my friends got pierced. Todd is amazing and makes you feel totally comfortable about everything. He loves to explain exactly what he is doing and how to care for your piercing and will answer any of your questions no matter how stupid they may seem. It is kind of pricey but they have really good quality jewlery and a super clean work space. I don't think i've ever gone in there and not seen someone cleaning. And will always be there for you if you have trouble with your piercing later.

Professional, knowledgable, sterile. I've had a couple of piercings from Todd, the owner. He's incredibly knowledgable and really professional. He's incredibly skilled and the piercings I've gotten from him, even though they are the 'most serious' piercings I have had, have healed better than all of the ones I've had from other piercers/facilities. They were perfectly straight and wonderful.

They have a policy against tattooing significant others' names on people, which I think is smart.

They're sterile and promote a holistic way of cleaning piercings--natural Dr. Bronner's soaps and saline. They don't promote the whole antibacterial DESTROY EVERYTHING approach. I'm so happy with my piercings, and I highly recommend them.

They are terrific. First piercing done at Industrial Strength -- extremely professional -- pristine working conditions -- they KNOW what they're doing. Lysa was terrific to work with -- took a good deal of time explaining what I needed to do, what to expect, etc. Met and exceeded my HIGH standards and expectations.
