I would not recommend coming here for a first piercing or any piercing in general. The atmosphere with the piercer Luis Garcia was very hostile, condescending, and intimidating especially for people who have anxiety or are nervous. He was very rude and angry.I came here on my birthday to pierce my nostril I felt like the placement was off and I told him if he could move it to the right he told me that he couldn’t go “right” he could only go forwards, back, etc… I was confused on directions he was giving me and tried to explain to him but he cut me off multiple times and I still wasn’t getting it instead of trying explain he just raised his voice and repeated himself and when it didn’t work he got visibly upset and raise his voiced and repeated it again as if it would work he was condescending throughout the whole experience. He made smart condescending remarks with a lot of attitude when I was concerned about bleeding he said “yea that happens on human days”and before that got mad that I didn’t think the placement was correct and blamed me for making him late to his other appointments I can honestly say I was 5-10 minutes late but once I got there we had to wait about 20-25 minutes for him to pierce me. I came here last year for a piercing everything was ok he was still condescending and hostile but wasn’t necessarily rude the process was smooth seemed hygienic and the price was reasonable so I’m not sure what happened this time. I don’t know if he is the owner or not but his behavior was not professional at all and he should work on getting over his personal feelings on his own time and not take his frustration and insecurities out on the clients who are getting permanent things done to their body. He rushed the process and didn’t properly close the piercing I had to take the bottoms piece off and close it properly on my own at home. Both times the receptionist were really nice and welcoming I’ve only had a...
Read moreBooked an appointment with Luis on 2/12 to get some piercings done (I live over 2.5 hours away and knew I wanted Luis to do my piercings based off his experience alone). I wanted to get my septum re-pierced after 8 years of not having it, and was worried it couldn't be done. Luis did the consult and noted prior placement wasn't done right (which explained a lot) and I was able to get it done correctly this time. I also went to get my nipples pierced and Luis was extremely amazing at walking me through everything that was going to happen before he did it. I was quite nervous going into it, but knew I was in good hands and was very comfortable through the whole process. He was very quick, and made the process as painless as possible! I absolutely love my new piercings, and will 💯 be going back for future ones from Luis! He is very much worth the drive! The shop as well is quite clean, and the staff is very friendly. Definitely a great...
Read moreI can not say enough positive wonderful things about 12 oz studios. Kenny and Maggie are the receptionists. They always greet you with a smile. They are very pleasant and polite. Megan Patrick is my artist. She is very sweet and very personable. Her artistic vision is absolutely amazing. I like full vibrant color and she does not disappoint. She takes the time to listen and really understands the direction of what you would like done . She does a lot of research and takes her time drawing up an absolute amazing perfect tattoo. .She has done three tattoos on me. We are now working on a very difficult cover-up. We have one session done and it already looks 100% better. We have two more to go. I am excited to see the final outcome. Then we will be moving on to my next piece. I am excited and look forward to all my future tattoos with Megan Patrick....
