Poor Service Overpriced

Walked in to ask how much a nostril piercing was, as they don't have a proper site or have piercing prices on their social media and I was in the area.

Receptionist was nice, gave me a price, and said they could get me in today. I was super excited.

The rest of the staff sat around talking and laughing and hanging out. Was not acknowledged once by any of them. After sitting around for 20+ minutes, the receptionist came back and said that unfortunately they couldn't get me in that day and that I could try coming in for a walk-in the following few days or setting up an appointment.

$60 for a nostril piercing is also super steep, considering the service I got. I paid $40 with the jewelry last time I got it pierced sans appointment in a different shop, and the service in that particular shop was stellar.

I'm only giving 2 stars because the receptionist was nice and I could tell she was a decent person.

I was here over 2 yrs ago for a tattoo. They did a great job back then, so came back for another. One of the artists there who was originally supposed to do my tattoo this time, had cancelled twice and kept rescheduling for one reason or another. Well I walked in and talked to the owner and the owner of the place ended up doing the tattoo for me. He ended up being quite generous as he made the tattoo a pretty big size compared to what I probably originally would have gotten for the price I paid on it. As once they quote you a price, and you pay for it as I paid on it last month, they cannot change the price and charge more. And by the time the owner of the place got done with me, I looked to have a tattoo about twice the cost I would say as what I actually paid for it in the beginning. So, he really made things right with me today after me dealing with cancellations.

Great Tattoo Good Value

Loved my tatto I got. At first, I thought that since we had to change my tatto up so it was in budget that it would be lame but after I got it, I loved it. To be honest, it is actually better than the original idea, and I recommend this place to all my buds

Poor Piercing Service Unreliable Piercer Negative Experience

I had a lip piercing done here and had to end up having it cut out at urgent care because the tissue started to grow over the piercing. Piercer did not place a large enough piercing. Go figure. Now I want my nose done there and the piercer is NEVER THERE when scheduled to be. Just fire her already!!

Bad Experience Poor Hygiene

I got my nose re-pierced here because I lost my nose jewelry so I had to get new jewelry put in to re-open the hole. It was fine the first day, but the second day the piercing site began hurting very bad, I cleaned it and used salt and water solutions, still nothing worked. Today the pain was so bad that I just took the piercing out. There is now scar tissue in my nose with fluid drainage as well as very tender skin and excruciating pain. I will be seeking medical treatment to deal with my now infected nostril, and will now be letting my nose fully heal in hopes of maybe getting it re-pierced, but as of right now my nose is severely infected, and I would not recommend ever going to this place for a nose piercing. It’s not worth it.

Long Wait Time Unfair Service Overpriced

Never do walk inn unless your planning to sit there and waist your day waiting! Plus another couple hours wait or so with a a ten min notice before they closed after waiting before they open! Knowing who is a head of me and after me! I was told 3 people a head of me at 1:30 that it would be my turn by 3:30! When I ask again at 3:30 I was told there was still 3people a head of me! When another person, that I noticed just got done that was supposed to be after me! Got serve before me! Talk about being fair to their customers! So technically seems like more people they know, favoritism or Wte that goes first, instead of going by the list that supposed to be come first come served! Price is over price in my opinion! Never again! Yes some people have good experience and some not! Unfortunately I’m one of the bad experiences! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Great Tattoo Artists Awesome Piercer Walk-in Saturdays

Len and Sparx did awesome jobs with my friends and my tattoos. Amanda was an awesome piercer. Front desk staff wasn't super friendly but not a big deal. I love walk-in Saturdays!!

Tattoo Artist Fine Lines

I got 2 tattoos that day. Kat the artist did an awesome job I thought. Someone else who saw my tattoos who has many tattoos, said she did a very awesome job on the very fine lines on my tattoo.

Bad Customer Service Unprofessional Behavior Poor Quality

"Issue accured in march 2022"Never pay for a tattoo in full when dealing with this shop if you plan on having a larger piece done, I recommend going else where.. I payed $600 for a piece that the artist worked for an hour and then suddenly had plans and had to stop the tattoo, then when trying to reschedule the artist kept making excuses why he couldnt fit me into the schedule to have the piece finished.
