Black Cat Collective

I got my conch and rook pierced here back in october, and recently got my third lobes and tragus all done by sarah! A friend of mine recommended Sarah to me, and I have had no disappointments!!! The counter staff girls are lovely to chat with, the area itself is lgbtq+ friendly and has lots of things to look at! my favorite piercing shop (granted the only shop i have been too) and i am excited to come back in the future!!!

Edit: Today I got my nose pierced by Sarah as well! She was wonderful as always to chat with about lord of the rings and various other shenanigans we have been up to, and I love this shop with my whole heart!

I’m so lucky to work alongside the amazing folks of Black Cat Collective… But before that, I was just a client. A stranger interacting with strangers, and yet everyone was SO kind. I had anxiety and they suggested days/times that were less busy for me. (They still accommodate anxious clients even with an increase in business and covid making everything strictly appointment only). It’s not easy to find a great piercer who can accomplish advanced piercings with accuracy alongside a selection of appropriate and beautiful jewelry, but that’s what Black Cat has. I can’t say how much I love Black Cat Collective enough. It doesn’t matter if you are a first time client or coming back again and again, they are loving, welcoming, and genuinely love the community. I could go on and on. The work speaks for itself though.

My daughter and I got our first ever tattoos. Our artist, Pat, was amazing. Patient, gentle, and precise. It was a great experience and I can’t wait to get my second one! (Just don’t tell my wife 🤣)

I went for my first ever piercing and was very nervous. Sarah was amazing the whole time and talked through every step. She made my first piercing an experience I will never forget and think of fondly.

Had a great experience here a few weeks ago getting my first facial piercings. I was a little nervous as before this I only had ear piercings. The staff was awesome; very friendly, informative, and funny. The receptionist talked to me for awhile about aftercare and answered my questions. Sarah did an amazing job with my piercings, I didn’t even bleed and there was no pain (eyebrow and septum). There’s been barely any bruising (normal for eyebrow piercing) and no swelling. They’ve been healing great thanks to the advice the staff gave me. I get compliments on them all the time. Pricing was great too, I’ll definitely be returning :)

I’ve been here twice to get small tattoos with another person - both times the artists did a great job & very professional. I recently visited this past weekend because my brother recommended Sarah for piercings. I have to say, from the moment I walked in, I was taken care of and treated wonderfully by staff. I was not rushed to pick out my jewelry - the gal at the front desk was awesome. (I’m terrible with names, and I didn’t catch hers 😞
Then Sarah was awesome too, what a fun, bubbly personality that keeps things interesting and keeps you distracted from worrying about the process. Also keeps you well informed about what is going to happen next (if you have any anxiety about the process.) she was being shadowed by Becky who was also very awesome. Before my appointment, another client had just got hear ears done and the work looked awesome. Sarah’s portfolio speaks for itself.
Her personality does the rest 😌

They have a great selection of jewelry available and quality stuff - I actually replaced a couple other earrings during my visit and Sarah was so nice to put them in for me. And BEST OF ALL - I was exclaiming about how I love the plants, and they gave me cuttings to propagate! I couldn’t have had a better evening - what an awesome way to end my week! Thank you 🐈‍⬛ ❤!!!!

As always Honest Josh made my vision become reality. Such great artists at Black Cat Collective.

I had an appointment last night with Shannon, obviously I was a little nervous for my piercing. To my surprise (and hers) she was able to reopen an old site (15 years old) and not have to do a new piercing. She spent the time to reopen it, she was gentle, patient and had such a calming energy. Anyone could have taken the easy way out and just pierced in a different spot but she spent the time to do it the correct way. Not only that; but I was credited back the deposit (which I saved for more jewelry)!!! I was shocked and I can see why this business and Shannon have so many great reviews. Cant wait for my downsize & although I'm not sure if I will ever have additional piercings in the future (ha ha ha) You will always be someone I highly recommend.

Thank you for everything!

Every time I go to Black Cat it’s a great experience! I’ve gotten a tattoo and piercings and they all heal great and everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. They always have such cute jewelry options too!

Shannon pierced my helix and my 14 year old daughter’s second piercing in her lobes back in August with a couple other friends. We had a great experience. She was gentle and confident and made us all feel at ease. The environment was very sterile and we had zero complications. Fast forward to January, Sarah did our downsize. Though I’m not fully healed yet and still slightly swollen, I barely felt a thing! If it was up to me to size down myself I’m sure I’d be red and swollen from the attempt. These girls work with such finesse. Totally worth it to go to a professional piercer. Thank you ladies!

Great place for lunch! Quirky with excellent food, fun quirky decor, car themed. I had half a grilled cheese (with artichokes!) and cup of soup, (tortellini). My dining companion had the cream of mushroom (fresh mushrooms!). Will be back!

Shannon and Becky were AMAZING! My friend and I came in for an ear styling appointment and had the best time. Shannon pierced us and was so thorough through the whole process leaving me with not a single question. They had such a wide selection of jewelry! We were in heaven! Can’t wait to come back. 😊

My sister and I got matching tattoos. Shop was very clean, and social distancing rules were in place. Pat was professional and very easy to talk to. He made sure that we were comfortable every step of the way. We gave him our idea, and he did an excellent job of drawing it up right away. We love our tattoos - they are perfect!

WHAT A FABULOUS, FUN EXPERIENCE THANKS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL BERE!!!!!! Mom and I decided to get Mother / Daughter matching tattoos and Bere was our artist who took our idea and designed something so beautiful. She did such a wonderful job and we are sooooooooo happy with the result. I loved her work so much that I returned to endure more pain (LOL) and had my other foot completed with a similar design. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and they are healing wonderfully and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND BERE as well as the BLACK CAT COLLECTIVE ESTABLISHMENT. The shop is very clean and cozy and all of the artists are incredibly talented, professional and caring. All of their employees are extremely kind and accommodating and their prices are SUPER REASONABLE. Thanks Bere for entertaining and taking such good care of us as you are a true, genuine, talented sweetheart and we Love you like family now and hmmmmm we may be back for more:):):)
Sincerely,
Jennifer and Julia

After a bad industrial piercing elsewhere, I booked an appointment with Sarah and after one look knew my ears did not have the right anatomy for that type of piercing. She was able to replace the jewelry with two separate posts and a chain (after they healed.) Since then i have gotten 11 piercings and 2 tattoos here. Even though they are about an hour drive from me, it is 100% worth it. Sarah (and all staff) exceed expections everytime. They are my go to place and the only place I ever recommend to anyone.

I absolutely love this place. I had been wanting to get a helix piercing and this was the place. They are extremely clean and professional. My piercer was Sarah and during the process she kept talking and reassuring it wouldn't hurt and will be done. The process was so quick that I hadn't noticed it was done. I loved it will be coming back.

By golly, Sarah is the best piercer I've ever met. Will never go to anyone else. She has been piercing me for well over 5 years, and I have never left disappointed. Would recommend to anyone...there is a wait for a reason.

My 10 year old just got her ears pierced by Sarah for her birthday. It was all around wonderful. Clean shop, and Sarah herself was just a joy to be around. The person at the front desk was kind and welcoming too! Thank you Black Cat, you have repeat customers for life!

Had work done by honest Josh. He did in incredible job, on top of that staff is super friendly and the whole shop from top to bottom was spotless. Highly recommended

Got my first piercing here and I could not be happier! I drove almost 2 hours to come here, and it was completely worth it. Sarah is awesome and did an excellent job at clearly explaining the process and aftercare instructions. I was nervous at first but was put completely at ease by the friendliness, professionalism, and kindness of the staff. The store was very clean, and all equipment was sterilized right in front of me before the piercing. The piercing itself was over in less then a minute and near painless. Thank you so much for a great experience!
