Psychedelic Shack

It's a cool store and all the employees I've interacted with were friendly & very helpful with whatever you're looking for. They've got some good tattoo artists and drawings to look through. The pipes, let's just say, they're very proud of their glass pieces. Even the small ones are around $50. I dunno, maybe its just me but, I'm not trying to spend a ton on my smoking device especially since I'll most likely break it anyways. I'm obviously not their target customer. It's a little too pricey for me. Cool store to just check out though if passing by.

I've gone to the psychedelic shack for my last three tattoos and to purchase body jewelry. Jeremy Stafford does phenomenal tattoo work at a very good price! Add I mentioned, I've also purchased body jewelry from there. They have a great selection to choose from and they will change your jewelry out free of charge!! The piercers there are very knowledgeable and are willing to answer any questions you might have. I will definitely be returning for any future tattoos or body jewelry.

Warning: Long read, but incredibly necessary to know about before you give this studio your business and put your health/appearance in their hands.

If I could give this studio negative stars, I would. I scheduled an appointment for a body piercing on Friday 2/12/21 at 5:30pm. A friend accompanied me, and we arrived 10 minutes early for our appointment. We were greeted by a staff member and given a consent form, and then ignored for the next 30 minutes. At 6pm, I asked one of the piercers, Holly, when I would be seen, to which she curtly responded that if our appointment was at 5:30pm, then we would be seen at 5:30pm. To reiterate: it was 6PM by then.

After realizing her mistake, Holly shuffled us into a piercing room with Punk'n/Patzee, an apprentice piercer who I was not informed was an apprentice in the first place. Punk'n asked if I'd eaten lunch, I replied that I had eaten a big lunch, about 4 hours prior to my appointment. She pulled out a bag of Jolly Ranchers from the supply cabinet and told me to suck on one. She sterilized the equipment, and while the candy was still in my mouth, she began clamping the area being pierced and readying the needle's position. Realizing she was about to poke me, I insisted on spitting the candy out to avoid choking, and resituated myself to be pierced.

The needle went in to the flesh incorrectly from the get-go, and I could feel Punk'n pull the needle out slightly, re-angle it, and push through once more. I was absolutely mortified when I looked at the finished piercing. Instead of coming out in the symmetrical location that it had been inserted into on the other side of my n*pple, the needle was now poking out less than 2mm away from the orifice (i.e. n*pple hole).

I began feeling faint and sweaty, and leaned back on the chair as she pulled the needle out. Holly came in the room and asked what happened, and Punk'n told her that I "didn't eat lunch," (as if that were true, or would explain anything at all). Instead of apologizing, Punk'n breezed over what she had done by saying "Let's go ahead and pierce the other one, and you can come back and I'll re-pierce that side for half-off," while turning to Holly once again and emphasizing that I "didn't eat lunch." I was in awe of what had just happened, and told her that I would not be allowing her to re-pierce me. Punk'n said "ok," as if nothing had registered, and haphazardly placed a gauze bandage and tape over my breast. No aftercare instructions were verbally provided to me, and they were definitely not provided in writing. Punk'n's version of an apology was to say that she had "literally done 3 pairs of t*tties just today," and that this "literally never happens." I'm struggling to even convey the amount of apathy that this woman showed after botching my piercing as badly as she did. Neither she nor the other staff present showed any remorse or concern for the wellbeing of me as a customer. I'm still floored about this.

My husband called later that evening to speak to a manager who told him that Punk'n was an apprentice and was supervised during the appointment. To be clear, once again: she was NOT supervised. She did NOT provided aftercare instructions, or even a straightforward apology. I should have known from how they handled me arriving for my appointment in the first place that coming to this studio was a mistake.

I can't speak for the rest of the piercers and artists who work there, but I urge you to NOT let Punk'n "practice" on you, and if you do, ensure that she is actually being supervised, because she needs it.

No one currently employed at Psychedelic Shack has followed up with me to date to apologize for the incident, by the way. The former head piercer, Holly, did reach out a few days ago to encourage me to file a formal complaint with the FDOH because even she does not agree with how the situation was handled.

SO GLAD I CAME HERE!!!!

I made a trip out to the shop from about an hour and a half away after I set up my appointment with Autumn, thanks to Ross. Ross and Autumn greeted me when I walked into the shop with kindness and gratitude. My appointment was due to an issue on a piercing that had recently become troublesome (after about a year that was done by another piercer in a different state). Autumn is an awesome person, very knowledgeable as well as made me feel EXTREMELY comfortable. I recommend this place and these kind individuals to everyone! Very professional!

THANK Y’ALL ONCE AGAIN!

So it wasn't my first time getting a tattoo, but it was the biggest by far I have ever got. When I walked in the shop, I felt instantly welcomed.
The staff are so awesome and were very nice to me throughout the whole time I was there. Jeremy is an amazing artist! He took the time to make sure every detail was done perfectly and talked me through everything. He gave me breaks when I needed it and frequently made sure I was doing alright. Other staff were excited for me and were very pleasant to talk to. The price was very reasonable and I would definately recommend this tattoo shop to anyone!

The piercer, Autumn, knocked it out of the park again for me. I got my septum pierced today and the whole process beginning to end was fantastic. Autumn makes it such a huge point to make sure you fully understand what you're getting into with your piercings, aftercare, and she constantly asks to make sure you are okay through the entire process. Not only that, but the level of care that goes in to making sure everything is sterile is very reassuring and definitely what you want to see at any piercing location. She's incredibly knowledgeable about everything she does, and the prices are very affordable as well. I recommend Autumn to anyone looking for their first (or eighth!) piercing!!

Nice store and nice people EXCEPT for the girl that does the piercings she is so rude and she spoke to me like I was beneath her or stupid? Any questions I had were answered rudely. She was very condescending. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and said maybe she was having a bad day... I have her a big tip because I figured everyone has off days and she did do a good job. The second time I went was my last time because she behaved the same way, actually worse. The other people are extremely friendly but she’s so nasty acting.

UPDATE: Just checked the other reviews the piercers name was Mischief and apparently I'm not the only one she was rude to.

I got all my piercings done here back in the early 2000's and never had any problems. Today I go in to get a piercing and met the piercer. All I can say, not sure how she can be the manager of piercing or have a job there pierod. She's very rude and condescending. On top of that she would not pierce me because I didn't have an appointment and she didn't have time. She was standing behind the counter talking to an employee when I arrived and while I was looking around the store, no one was in the store and yet she didn't have time. After her being rude and treating me like she was better than me I took my business elsewhere and didn't have to have an appointment. They told me they get a lot of their business because of her and her attitude and having to have an appointment to get pierced. I tell you what, I'll never go back there. The other place will get my business from now on and the piercer is very friendly.

I'm a deep sleeper and woke up with my newly (1 month ) pierced nose ring out. I tried YouTube videos and to get it in myself but was unsuccessful. Called a nearby place and was given recommendations to try Mischief. Called her and even though she stated she was booked, she was really understanding, nice, and willing to help me out during get lunch break. When I arrived she was super friendly took my piercing and sanitized it. Afterwards she took me back to the room, explained how the ring was sanitized. Explained how she was going to taper it back in. Basically she cleaned my nose, used a long non needle like piercer and replaced my ring. Just a quick pinch and it was done. See stated this service was free even though I didn't get my original piercing here but I gave get something for being so helpful on short notice. Off to the side of the store they have the tattoo booths. Seating area. Majority of the store has paraphernalia. Then piercing display. Nice and clean establishment. Nice displays

At first they were helpful & told me they could tattoo me, but when I took too long looking at tattoos, the staff then changed their mind and informed me they didn't have time, and preceded to pretty much kick me out. I took my business down the street and I'm glad I did. I will never come back to this shop.
