Taboo Tattoos — Local services in Keyport

my friend and i went in to get two separate piercings. i got my tragus pierced, and she got her helix and upper love done. the guy who did it didn’t seem like he knew what he was doing. we walked in and asked if the piercer was there (it was pretty late) and he looked a little confused and said that he was the piercer. he was in the middle of helping other clients, and left them to help us, which is rather rude. the lady at the front desk was on the phone while we were checking in, also rude. we go back into this room which didn’t look clean at all. he pierced my friend first and he used a plastic one time use piercing stapler. A PROFESSIONAL PIERCER USED A PIERCING STAPLER. WHAT? then he used a needle for her helix, only after her saying she wanted a hoop in her ear, which you should never pierce with a hoop. then it was my turn, he pierced it CROOKED with a hoop! fast forward, both of our piercings got infected, regardless of all of our extensive care, which he didn’t disclose how to care for them. i knew because i have lots of piercings as it is, but my friend did not. we have both taken out the piercings and i now have a scar on my ear!!

needless to say we will not be going back there.

i am not sure about the art work and tattooing abilities but DO NOT GO HERE TO...

Taboo is absolutely one of the best tattoo shoos around & the artists are all incredibly talented! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into a super clean and friendly shop. While all of the artists are amazing, I have been going to Gina for a few months now & she is overall just incredible. Gina is so sweet, kind, and makes you feel so comfortable the entire time from making sure you’re physically alright, but also she’s just a warm person to be around! Her artwork is amazing, from black & white to color, including her flash and custom designs and you can tell how passionate she is about her work and her clients’ experience at Taboo. If you’re not completely sure on placement or the design, Gina will take the time to help you create something amazing that you will be so, so happy with. It’s always a great experience coming here & thank you for all of my spooky, awesome pieces...

5 Stars is not enough for a rating on this business I cant stress that out enough I wish I could give this place 10 STARS instead of 5 I had got my tattoo done with Kasey and she did an EXCELLENT A++++++ job really went above and beyond works with you and hears you out her line work and placement is out of this world......
