Poor customer service Jewelry not secured properly

Got four piercings from them back in September. They did an awesome job but, the screw on the lip piercing was not screwed in before I left. Little to say the lip piercing jewelry came out and I had to go back in later in the week. The guy that pierced my lip was not in until later that week, and I wanted my lip piercing back in because I wasn't my fault it came out. When I got to this place the bearded man gave me the biggest attitude, checking if I lied about the jewelry coming out by fault to his employees, and I'm no liar, so if you get work done from these guys bring someone else, or check behind there work! I could tell if a screw at the end of a piercing was place in or not, no need to lie. I'll think twice before I return.

Piercing Customer Service Aftercare

I recently went and had my cartilage pierced, I went in at about 1:30 pm and there was 4 people working. I told them what I wanted they handed me a clip board, ( I knew what I had to do ) but they didn't say anything besides fill this out. Then asked for my ID and as I went to the back with the piercer he asked me about my latex allergy which was nice. Then as he's telling me the prices of the jewlery I got a bit confused but the friend with me had just had hers done so I knew what I wanted. He did a good job on the piercing it self but was vague and dry about after care and didn't give a slip of paper or anything just kind ok do this or this don't do this ok by. But I'd go if the other guy was there.

Poor Service Hidden Fees Unprofessional Behavior

3-7-2015, I took my daughter to "high class" Tattoo for ear piercing. My experience was truly less THAN high class service. Upon entering this facility, I was greeted with a strong odor of musky wet towels and pine-sol, along with shop's groupies, laying around on the sofa. When I was asked what I needed, I explained to the "apprentice" I was here to get ear piercings for my daughter he then said fill out this form and he walked away to help another family that came in before me. My daughter and I sat down on the bench to fill out this form.
So finally I take this form to this guy and I asked him, straight up and clearly HOW MUCH IS IT FOR HER EAR PIERCINGS, HE SAID $30.00. The piercer guy came up to the front to get us both As we pass the groupies laying around this "sterile environment", I asked him, do you take debit/credit cards? He said NO, it's broken but after we are done, there is a ATM down the way, you can come back to pay me. We are in his cubical, about to do the piercing, he asked us, what kind of tip do you want, a steel ball or gemstone We didn't know what he was referring to. I did ask him does it matter, how long will she be keeping these in? He said 2-3 weeks. I told him, I don't care, my daughter said she didn't care, BECAUSE THESE EARRINGS ARE TEMPORARY!!

At that point, the respectful thing to do as a BUSINESS MAN he should have said, these are $10.00 more per ear lobe. He said NOTHING. Upon being done, we left without any incident to get cash from the ATM. I only took out the necessary cash to pay. I send in my 16 year old daughter to pay. She comes back to the car shocked. She said mom we have a problem. The man inside said it was $80.00. I told her to get into the car, I would handle this. When I enter this establishment, again this "apprentice", explained that its $30.00 an ear and you upgraded the balls to the earrings so that was a additional fee. I was floored! He looked at me with this ignorant look in his face. That furthered angered me. Then he began to explain to me that he was explaining the costs to the customer before me and I should have been listening. I was shocked that he had the ignorance to say something like that. I asked to be speak to the piercer, so I waited. I asked him to explain how we go from $30.00 to $80.00. This is what he came back with, "It's not my job to explain the cost to you, it's my "apprentice's" job to explain the costs. I knew at that point that this "artist" lacked the knowledge of what a business man was.

I cannot pay the price for the lack of training to his assistant/staff, maybe have his apprentice pay the difference since he failed to explain the charges to me.

So I walked out, as I only took out $40.00 from the ATM machine and he told me, "What the hell? Are you going to pay me?" And this "apprentice" ran out behind me and told me I am taking photos of your license plate... I paid this man $80.00 and this what I paid for. I paid the $80.00 so I can post this review and all the other reviews that I can post, so everyone can see that this shop isn't high class and after visiting the Department of Health of the County of Fresno, Health Inspection, you can see "High Class Tattoo" TWO violations!!!!

So to you both, dont go around treating people this way. Karma doesn't feel good. !

Professional Clean Honest

Went in to get my septum re pierced. He was very nice to talk to and was able to re open the piercing. Was very honest about what he was going and didn't charge me the whole price because he was able to make it work without fully piercing it. Very professional and very clean.

Professional Clean Shop Knowledgeable Staff Recommended

Piercer Tiny Tim was very professional when Icalled to discuss getting an additional piercing. Iexplained that it would probably be difficult this time around but he reassured me that he was exerienced and would take a look. When I arrived Tim took the time to answer all of my questions and when the time came to actually do the piercing he walked me through the steps we would take. It was quick and realatively painlessw. He explained the follow up care very thoroughly and made sure I understood that he stood by his work and if Ihad ANY problems or concerns then he would he more than happy to help.

The actual shop was very clean, the instruments were sterile, and I was I was impressed with the amount of knowledge that the piercer and a tattoo artist Audie showed.

I told both that I was looking to get some ink done in the near future and Audie also took the time to discuss my piece and gave some great tips.

Overall my experience was a great one and I would definitely reccomend this shop.

Skilled Piercer Great Service Reasonable Prices Recommendation

Matthew Vargas was the young man doing the piercing, and this rating is just for his job on my daughter's industrial and tragus piercings. He was very open about the costs for different types of jewelry for the ear, and performed the piercings with medical like precision. I have already recommended him to other residents of Oakhurst, where we no longer have piercings available. I would definitely return, or follow Matthew to any other location if I needed additionally piercings.

Skilled Artist Reasonable Price Light Touch

Just finished 4 hours with Reno at High Class. He did 2 cover ups, one on each arm. He has a very light touch, so you barely know you are being tattooed (of course your experience may be different). His work was perfect. I am already looking forward to 2 more tat's from Reno. Just waiting on these to heal (so far healing great), and figure out the new art work (have to get the wife's approval haha). His price was very reasonable.
