Piercing, withGeorge
George is the piercer at Strange World. Lobes, a full ear curation, a nose you’ve been thinking about for a year — same unhurried approach either way.

Read more reviews →George was amazing with my teenage daughter who has a needle fear and anxiety! She was so patient and gave us all the time that was needed to get the ear lobe piercing done. She went step by step over the process and answered all questions. Really good after care instructions as well! Totally recommend!
Just finished a Disney tattoo with Brett. Words can’t explain how stunning it is. amazing work, a clean shop, and seriously amazing people! 10000/10 recommended!
I took my two daughters to Strange World Tattoo to get their ears pierced. George was absolutely amazing. She explained how the process would work and distracted them with fun conversation while she pierced their ears. I will be recommending you to friends and family.
