First off, let me start by saying that I have gone to Erik for several piercings before. I have always wanted my hood pierced but was uncomfortable at the idea at a male doing the piercing. I decided to go to a shop close to Wichita, since they had a female piercer. I was shown to a table behind several screens that were propped up and were the only barrier between me and everyone else in the room. The piercing itself was traumatizing to say the least. She started, stopped, started, stopped, and finally finished piercing me. To say the least, I was pale, shaking, and crying. I have never yelled or cried over a piercing before. I did on this one! I had shooting pains down one leg and had problems walking. I was extremely sore and swollen. NOT the experience I had wanted with this piercing! Less than a week later, I went back to see if I could get a longer barbell. I couldnt stand the constant prodding on the nerve that was hit as the taper was being pushed through and just said forget the piercing. I was charged an additional $20 just for the jewelry removal. After having paid $100 for a botched piercing as it was, I wasnt happy. Its been about a year and a half since that experience. Ive wanted the piercing redone ever since, just havent had the courage after how my last experience turned out. After much begging and a deal with my fiancé, I decided to go at least talk to Erik to see what he thought. We established that the piercing was much too deep and that there was a chance that she had pierced a certain bundle of nerves that she shouldnt have, which would explain the starting, stopping, and so on. I was a complete nervous wreck but I really wanted the piercing again. Erik helped calm my nerves and explained how he has done thousands of them, literally. After a lot of talking, I decided to just go for it. Erik helped me pick the jewelry I wanted, then I was able to watch him anodize it the blue I wanted, autoclave it, and prepare for my new piercing! He made sure I was comfortable through the whole process and was super friendly about all my questions. The piercing itself wasnt hardly as bad as last time at all! Erik did an AMAZING job on reassuring me and making me I was completely happy with everything. I couldnt recommend him more for a piercing. I wish I had gone to him the first time so I wouldnt have had the experience I did. Im very happy with the price as well. It was comparable to the other location, BUT I was able to choose a color for my barbell plus a jeweled top. :) Erik will be my go-to person from now on.

I went to Elektric Chair as a walk-in for a conch piercing today. I was greeted by Erik when I walked in the door. He was friendly and professional (not to mention pretty attractive). He helped me pick out my jewelry (they have pretty, high-quality pieces) and explained the process for the piercing. They show you the autoclave strip and sterilize the needles right before using them. The shop was very clean and smoke-free, and I felt completely at ease. Jordan did my piercing and was very good about using sterile technique. He took time to make sure that the piercing was positioned where it would look good, and he explained everything that he was doing. I had a great experience and cant recommend them enough!

Ill start by saying, rocky start. I was not greeted very nicely at first but that must have been a fluke. I have Kate do my hair and shes awesome!! I have a very strange schedule and she fits me in at random whenever I have time. Shes very personable and kind. Ive also gotten a piercing there. I passed out in my chair and the piercer, who is totally gorgeous, took care of me!! Ive never felt so at home with a shop before this one. It is refreshing. I love the atmosphere. I checked out their website and it should have no reflection on the shop itself but rather whoever the webmaster is. It definitely needs some updating. Prices are amazingly looooow!!! Once youre in with these people, they are like family!!!

this place is a joke. im sure the only reason they have good reviews on here is because they posted them themselves. hot? go look at their website. i dont know what your standards are but they are not hot. oh and try looking for their work on their website. you cant find it? oh cuz they dont have any pics up. what about their hours? oh they arent up there either. hmm doesnt sound too put together does it? ive had work done here and it was fine but constumer service is horrible, they dont even have an answering machine and their neighbors are much better. i dont know how they stay in business. want more bang for your buck? try artists at large right next door.

I went here 3 years ago to get my Industrial piercing and loved the experience. The guy who did my piercing was extremely nice. I just went back this morning on Halloween and got 2 more cartilage piercings and had the same experience. The lady helped me pick out what earrings would look good together. Cant remember the name of the guy who did my piercing this time but he showed me how they sterilized the earrings and was helpful when I told him i was nervous. Love the result and how they looked in my ear. Trust this place so i dont plan on going anywhere else anytime soon! I definitely recommend this place! Do their jobs excellent

I went to the Elektrik Chair last night with a friend as walk-ins to get a piercing. From the very start to the very end the experience was great. The guy behind the counter greeted us and helped us right away. He was very patient as we were trying to decide which piece of jewelry we wanted. I requested Erik to do our piercing. He was patient, as well, explaining each step, what to expect during the entire process. I was very excited and a little nervous but Erik did a fabulous job of making me feel comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely return if I decide on another piercing or tattoo. I recommend them to anyone.

Erik is amazing. I had numerous piercings done there. VERY clean, and clearly experienced and does not over charge. I wanted to get several more piercings and rather than encouraging me to do so he explained that the best idea was to wait at least a month and allow my body not to go into shock or react. Going back for three more before the holidays and very satisfied having had these done before and removed only because the other person who pierced them did a terrible job. You want to feel safe and not rushed, this is the place to go

Just got a Rook piercing done today by Bret. Awesome job! Didnt feel a thing. Once I entered the shop excellent customer service from the get go. Very professional and friendly staff. Clean/ sanitized environment. The only thing I regret was not having cash on me. I paid with card assuming that I would be able to leave a tip when I sign the receipt but unfortunately there wasnt an area to do that. I would recommend any one to have cash on them if you want to tip. I will definitely be coming back to receive another piercing.
