Bad Tattoo Unsanitary

First of all I got a tattoo from Martin and it’s trash it’s done way too dark the detail is not specific and it’s horrible. I will not recommend them at all if I could sue them I would. Very unsanitary I hope my tattoo doesn’t end up infected as it’s already a black mess. Do not use that tattoo artist and I repeat do not use him. I should’ve known when they only except cash that it was going to be a problem

Excellent Job Inexpensive

I made an appointment, which didn't work out (an in-shop miscommunication that resulted in my waiting for an hour), but once my tattooist got freed up, things went swimmingly. I had brought the piece I wanted to have done, and he consulted with me to make sure it was how I wanted it. He was knowledgeable, thorough, clean, and did an excellent job. And inexpensive, which isn't a consideration, particularly, but a nice surprise. I'm going back for more work.

Bad Piercing Messed up Tattoos

Went in and got a tongue piercing a while ago. Had no problems at the time, the lady was very clean and polite and explained the process. However, my tongue ring is WILDLY off center. I was told at the time that it was because I had "too many veins" in the bottom of my tongue, so my piercing would be "a little off center" (what the woman told me word for word). Went to another piercer in Manchester to recieve my snake eyes and was told that my tongue was perfectly fine and could have been pierced normally, and the woman who pierced me actually put the needle and the jewelry through crooked, so my piercing is slanted. Spoke with other poeple who came to Pelican for piercings and all had similar experiences with bad piercings or messed up tattoos. Don't feel like going through the recovery process again so I won't be getting my tongue re pierced. I won't say this is a bad shop because I'm sure they've done good work, just not on me.

Good Service Clean Environment Hit or Miss Tattoo Artists

I've gotten 9 piercings done at Pelicans and will continue to come here. They are very clean and friendly, I would recommend them for piercings. As for tattoos, I got my first one done here and the girl messed up the line work. I hear Josh is excellent, but the other artists are a hit or miss.

Poor Customer Service Overbooking

New ladies keep closing their shop early, they haven’t stayed open until 7 for quite some time which is causing loss of service on their end. They also overbook people on certain days roughly around their old closing time which was 7.
