Wasted my time. I called before opening to be a walk in, artist available returned my call at 11 telling me to come in, and I pulled in not a minute later because I was driving nearby. Then I was told it would be two hours because the artist had to work on another customer. I didn’t mind as a walk in of course, so I left, got some food, came back, but then sat there for hours. From 11-2:40, almost 4 hours I waited. No one said anything to me about how much longer it would be. No one apologized or spoke up to me about the situation. The artist that I originally spoke to said nothing to me about my tattoo. Just stood up to take a break with his “2 hour client,” looked at me, sat back down, and continued working on him. Could have at least let me know it would be longer than he thought and had me come back later, or schedule an appointment. So I dipped to go enjoy the nice sunny day outside instead of feeling like an unwelcomed customer. Not coming back because I don’t want to deal with the bad service and weird vibes...

okay, y'all.. listen up! I am a piercing enthusiast!! I have several and after today, another 3! (navel & both n*pples) Samantha was by far the most welcoming, professional, and SKILLED piercer I have ever had the pleasure of getting stabbed by. I am honestly SO grateful she is local because I have traveled out of state for piercings before, but having had the experience I did today I will never go anywhere else for a new beautiful, metal addition to my body. not only are my new parts of me perfectly done, but she corrected and repierced a previously botched piercing I had and did so with such precision! thank you × a million for making me feel so comfortable, taking care of me after a fainting spell (oops), and doing such beautiful work to help me fall in love with parts of me that I was so insecure about! will definitely be back for more once I heal!(: thank you again,...
