Poor Service Bad Piercing Placement Overpriced

highly regret coming here. i had a septum piercing done for $75 i believe, which was
already the first red flag (everyone i know who had a septum done paid 45-65). the environment felt off, didnt smell the best, and no one was there for a few minutes. i waited around an hour and a half for the piercer. when he finally came, he brought me to the back, gave me no after care instructions, and no warning for anything. after the piercing, i saw that the piercing kept flipping up and would not stay down. he told me it was the vaseline he put there that made it slippery and it would go away. two days later and it still would not stay down and kept flipping up. i finally looked at it good snd realized the placement was atrocious. it wasn’t even in my septum it was against my philtrum in the skin below my septum. i have a long septum and very obvious sweet spot, so there was no way he could have done that and it be understandable. i had to take the piercing out and am now getting it repierced somewhere else. i also know for a fact i am one of MANY customers who have had a bad experience there. the tattoo designs on display looked great, and i cant speak for their tats, but i do not recommend getting a piercing there.

Polite Staff Clean Environment Great Service Good Music Recommendation

Very polite, clean and awesome work space. They done an amazing job on my nose piercing. I love it. They listened to the way I wanted it done and talked to me while doing the piercing to keep my mind off it, loved the music that they played while I was there and I totally recommend going there.

Friendly atmosphere Professional staff Attention to hygiene

Got my first tattoo at 68 1/2 years old. A very nice, respectful young man named Christian was my tattooist. Using a design I supplied, he reproduced it exactly and with great detail and color. The text is beautifully done and easily readable. The atmosphere at the shop was friendly, casual, but very professional. I watched Christian setting up and preparing. He was very meticulous and careful to sanitize everything. Plus, I had a big recliner to sit in with my feet up during the 1 1/2 hour process. The main feature of my tattoo is a quote from a Joni Mitchell song. My only complaint is that Christian is too young to know who Joni Mitchell is! I was very pleased with the whole experience (the pain aside) and highly recommend these folks for all your tattooing needs!

Amazing Tattoo Poor Piercing Experience Expensive

Every tattoo I have gotten from joe has been amazing 10/10. I went the other day with my friend and got tattoos that went perfectly. As I was leaving I decided to get my septum pierced. The piercer was in a hurry mid day with no other people in store and pierced my septum twice! After the second time I knew something was wrong because it sat in my nose crooked and was too far back to flip up. I will be getting it redone today. Also, it totaled $70 and the shop I will be going to with amazing reviews only charges $45.

Poor Execution Unskilled Piercer Bad Experience

I received a septum piercing here and it was not well done at all. I had done my research on the piercing and I knew what it should look and feel like, but, trusting the piercer here, I received the total opposite. The piercing sits so far back in my nose it practically lays on my top lip. And I have a long nose! In fact, the piercer said his goal was to place it between the BONE and the cartilage, and in trusting his judgement I allowed him to do so. I will now have to go somewhere else to have it redone. I noticed another review with a similar issue, but they wrote in a way that led me to believe the error in their case was due to the overwhelming amount of business in the shop at the time. In my circumstance, there were only 3 other customers in the entire shop, and one had already been pierced! The service was nice, but the execution was extremely poor.

Christian did my tattoo, fast, sterile, friendly, and amazing art. He could easily charge double what he did for the quality of work I got. Will be back!

Poor Piercing Job Outdated Cleaning Instructions Bad Experience

went about 5 days ago to get a septum piercing and they totally messed it up. it was crooked and through the cartilage and I had to have it removed today by an actual professional who told me it was done poorly. The cleaning instructions for the piercing were also outdated. Save yourself some time and go somewhere else because I have now found many who have had the same experience.
