Slamball at Get Air

I recommend Get Air because it’s really fun to manipulate your sense gravity, jumping gets your happy hormones (dopamine) going, and it’s a really good way to be physically active while unloading your body/mind/emotions from stress. This is a great option for all people. Prices range for what exactly you’re trying to experience while at Get Air. They often have amazing deals and discounts so that you can enjoy yourself at accessibile means, so I’m plugging in their pricing website page here for you: https://getairsports.com/tonawanda/prices/.

Below is a link that will help you decide which Get Air is best for you. There’s one location in Cheektowaga, NY as well. Generally, most Get Air locations provide the similar experiences. Where you decide to go is totally up to you! Bring your friends, family, partners, whoever. Happy jumping!

Cowpok Piercing & Tattoo gallery

Price range: $$$$ = Very expensive, usually $50 and up

Location: 177 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo, NY 14201

Overview: Cowpok is such a dope, clean, attentive place to make your unique dreams come true! They decribe themself as stated below!

“WE ARE BUFFALO’S PREMIERE SPOT FOR UNIQUE TATTOOS AND PROFESSIONAL PIERCINGS IN A CLEAN AND FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. WE HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST INVENTORIES OF FINE JEWELRY IN WESTERN NEW YORK, FOR BOTH FRESH AND EXISTING PIERCINGS. OUR TEAM IS COMPRISED OF SKILLED TATTOO ARTISTS AND APP MEMBERS PREPARED TO GIVE YOU THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE.

I suggest this location only because I have personal experience here! There is another location in Williamsville. My piercer for my septum, was Anna. She was so attentive, kind, and genuine. She explained everything she was doing and kept our space very clean. The appointment was quick too! My piercing did not hurt badly, the pain was 2/10. Believe it or not, my piercing healed completely in 12 days!!!

Jewelry options

Cowpok has a great range of beautiful, safe jewelry to choose from. The ladies who work there are awesome. They’re really sweet, so I highly recommend talking to them and asking about their day or even asking for advice. After a piercing appointment, a card will be given to you which explains their piercing/jewelry care recommendations, along with what details about the jewelry you got (size/type).

Piercings

There’s a really cool painting on the shop’s wall of a cow in a white straitjacket, where the cow is full of piercings. It’s definitely a painting to take a picture with, very Instagram worthy! I guess the cow full of piercings represents a cow being poked so many times? So, Cowpok? I don’t know, but I know that this is an awesome place to finally get that piercing you’ve been wanting!!
