DO NOT GO TO HUNTER ! Hate to leave a negative review on an entire business based off my experience with one artist but I just want to make sure nobody else has to suffer the same pain I have endured. If you choose to go to this shop to get a tattoo just make sure you DO NOT GO TO HUNTER. He is very unprofessional... He rescheduled my appointment at least 5 times. Sometimes months apart. Even told me to come in one day when he had called out of work without so much as a heads up. The people working at the time told me I was the third client who came in that day looking for him when he wasn’t there. So much for customer service right ? He also told me a price up front and then raised the price on me halfway through the piece. Not only that but the tattoo looks terrible ! It was a cover up and I’d honestly break my bank account just to have it back to how it was before I let him touch it. And when you tell him what you don’t like about the tattoo rather than come up with a solution he will tell you that’s what you wanted or make excuses and try to place the blame on the customer (as if I’m the one who did the tattoo). I feel bad leaving 1 star on the business because the rest of the staff seemed nice and I know he just started working there recently.. Reason I know is because he was at another shop before this when he started on my tattoo A YEAR AGO ! So to sum it all up unprofessional, untimely, irresponsible, and most of all BAD ARTWORK ! Oh yea, did I mention he would get stoned before every session ? I’m not anti weed so I didn’t mind but he was clearly not thinking straight when he did certain parts of my tattoo. Was willing to overlook some bad qualities in hopes of getting a decent tattoo for a decent price but unfortunately what I got stuck with is something I will regret for the rest of my life. Don’t let it...

Update: Gave this place another chance because of their reply and very similar problem; I told Moo I swell a lot and still got bars that were too short. This time I DID go in to get a longer bar and they charged me for it lol. They only charged me for 1 out of 2 of the jewelry because "it's kind of on us for not giving you a long enough bars." ??? It's ENTIRELY your guys' fault, especially after I told you I swell a lot. It's not like I got my jewelry changed because I wanted to. Again, went to a different plate to get it fixed and no problems. Idk if I just have bad luck with this place or what but this is the 3rd time I've tried them and left very unhappy :/

Oct 2023: I've been pierced by Spayduh here before and had a great experience, but my most recent appointment didnt go as great. I was the first appointment of the day and Moo was 30 mins late. He must've been in a bad mood or something because he was being very rude the whole time. I told him how I wanted my piercing placed and he told me to stop telling him how to do his job. He pierced way too deep into the skin that I swelled up immediately. Within a few days I was swelling and bruising like crazy, it seriously looked like someone punched me in the eye. I even told him that I swell a lot and he gave me a short bar, so it was extremely uncomfortable when I did start swelling. I took it out and let it heal for a couple months before I got it done at another place and I haven't had any problems; no bruising or discomfort so I know it wasn't just me. I've seen Moo's work before and he usually does a good job but this time has turned me off...

I had the best consultative experience at Diamond City Tattoo & Piercing today! I had an appointment with the owner Moo Tang for a piercing and before we started Moo Tang spend a good amount of time explaining the procedure, healing process, and how the different metals may or may not impact my healing process. Moo Tang was very clear as to what to expect in my healing, how much care was involved, and how long the healing would typically take to be fully recovered from this experience. Ironically, my spouse and I are going out of town the end of September and my procure would have greatly impacted what I would be able to do on our trip, for example use of hotel spa etc. I decided now was not the best time to get this procedure done, but very much value the time that Moo Tang took to explain what was realistic in my piercing process. I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to visit this shop and work with a business owner who cares enough about people and his professional reputation to be fully honest with me allowing me to make the best decision for my experience. I did not get the piercing for now as I want to be able to fully enjoy my trip. However both my spouse and I will be back most likely for tattoos especially given the trust that is now formed with Moo Tang and Diamond City Tattoo. We are very thankful for this awesome experience!! BTW the shop was extremely clean, great body decor selection, and an owner who truly cares about...
