Aces and Eights Tattoo — Local services in Lakewood

I got my tongue pierced here two days ago and had to take it out yesterday. The girl (who didn't give me her name) who pierced me, sat me down in the chair, and I told her I had my tongue pierced before. It was in the perfect spot, I never had any issues with it, no lisp, swelling was down three days, it was perfect, so I wanted it in the same spot. She asked if it was okay to pierce it "a little further down" towards the tip of my tongue to avoid scar tissue. I was fine with that, she pointed out the scar so I assumed she would pierce right below it. She put the clamp on my tongue and immediately pierced me. She didn't mark the spot, she didn't show me where I was about to get my piercing, she didn't count to three, nothing. Once I got to look at my piercing, still in the shop, I was in absolute shock. She pierced an entire centimeter (that's a lot of space on a tongue) away from my scar and HALF A CENTIMETER from the end of my tongue. She literally pierced the TIP of my tongue. When I pointed it out, she literally said, I quote her words exactly, "Well, you still have to pay for the service. I like it. You can always take it out and get it repierced somewhere else." I was in aw. My friends stood there speechless. I payed her, thanked her, and left. I took it out because it was so far forward it hit my teeth when I made any sound like "th, s, t," and gave me a lisp. Let me clarify, I have had my tongue pierced before and I did NOT have a lisp, and it did NOT hit my teeth. This girl LITERALLY pierced my tongue INCORRECTLY. DO NOT GO HERE. She was rude and clearly does NOT take into consideration anatomy, or preference (never showing me where she was going to...

Best place to get a tattoo. I have 2 and I got my second from this place and I love it! I'm going to be going back for my 3rd here shortly. I had mine done by Grover he's really nice and pretty far on prices... He's got a very clean work space and is pretty good in art.

Update I went and got my third done here by grover. he free handed my rose and it turned out amazing! he loves drawing them and is really good at it. I need to go back in and get my color put in to it. but I love both my tattoos from here! best experience ive ever had. I just moved to Oregon and ill be making the 3 hours drive up here just to get tattoos from him. that's how good he is!

He's very calm while working, fun to chat with, keeps his work space clean and does so amazing work. He loves to do wierd tattoos the ones that people create with him. He does wonderful work. My next tattoo will be of my dogs paw who recently passed. Fair warning. He does NOT do names. He has had bad experiences with people who have gotten names. He does do cover up tattoos... so if you need a fix He can help. I can't wait to get my...
