The Hand of Gawd Tattoo & Hair Salon — Local services in Ogden

I am super disappointed to be leaving this review, but I feel that people should be warned. I called ahead asking if they could take 5-6 walk-ins for piercings, they were great over the phone, and told us “yes!” so we headed over. As soon as we walked in our group of 7 was met with immediate animosity, the girls at the desk yelled at my friends TWICE, simply because we were excited to be there and “in the way” you can’t help the small studio space there, so it was bound to be crowded with the size of our group, but that is not in our control. they even made a sly remark about us talking amongst each other. Because of these remarks some of our friends no longer felt comfortable getting pierced, and they left. Well unfortunately, I now wish I would have left with them… Because me and one other friend had already filled out paperwork, we went back to be pierced. we both decided to get the same piercings a nostril and a cartilage. I have face and body piercings already so I knew what I was in for, but when she showed me the nose jewelry, I asked her if there was any other option, and that I have that jewelry and it doesn’t work with my nose, I knew that I would swell and that I had issues with this bar even on my other HEALED nostril. She was dismissive, and implied I knew nothing and that it was the only option, well that night the jewelry literally shot out of my nose! it was too short, and too tight, as I had pleaded before. now as for my ear piercing IT WAS THE MOST PAINFUL THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I have a high pain tolerance and also multiple piercings, it was so bad the piercer was even concerned asking if I was okay, I also bled like hell, which I never have before. My friends experience was quite similar, very painful, and very bloody. This was 4 months ago, so I am leaving a review now to say, my friend and I still have issues with these piercings to this day, they still hurt like you can’t imagine, because the jewelry on my nose was not correct and flew out, I had to replace it, which in return has caused an irritation bump, my ear still hurts like the day I got it, yet it is nearly healed. I have an easy time healing in the past never with any issues. It comes down to piercers negligence. I would also like to add that even though my friend and I received the same piercing by the same person, we were charged differently, so i’m not too sure why that is. You might be safe to get a tattoo here but I wouldn’t recommend the disrespectful staff, or the...

I just wanna give my personal opinion on the shop because I got a tattoo and didn't have a good time at all, I came in and they greeted me which wasn't the worst but I wanted a tattoo done and they got this one girl Ali to help me and it took her a while to draw the design which they charged me for and I felt like that was kind of scam because it seems like she was going slow on purpose, once she was finally done we went to get it done and I sat in a white chair and when she started to tattoo my arm she asked me if I could breath a little bit lighter and less because she couldn't handle me breathing cause of the movement which made me light headed and which she told me she messed up the tattoo a little bit because of it and told me it was my fault, so we finally finish and the lines were pretty shaky and she told me she would fix it next time I came in but I decided to get it fixed by someone else because I feel it's really unprofessional that I had to even get it fixed in the first place, her and the owner would not stop talking and it was like he was flirting with her which I also thought was really unprofessional because I didn't come to get a tattoo to listen to people flirt with each other which made me think that after hours they do some weird stuff together at the shop which is gross. All in all I would not come to this shop and I recommend going to a...

If I could give this place zero stars I would, the owner I think his name is Nate seemed more worried about some of the female artists in the shop rather then my appointment which should of been my first red flag but I figured things would be fine after I got back to the chair. I got a tattoo done by some girl named Ali and oh boy was it an experience, first off it was completely unsanitary her gun was not bagged, she didn’t aquaphor my tattoo at all so it was dry the whole time before and after, she didn’t shave me before, she alchol wiped my tatt after she was finished with it and she didn’t wear gloves. She went heavy handed one moment soft handed the next so the pain was kinda extreme for such a small tattoo and I had to make her go over it twice due to it not being filled in at all. My tattoo was sized 1x1 which she charged me $100 for plus tip and I would of been fine with that had she had clean equipment and my tattoo actually turned out like a professional did it. Anyways I would not go here If you want to actually like the work that goes on your body, this is what my tatt looks like 5 months healed it was supposed to be an ohm but you can barely tell. Again I would give zero stars if I could but I cannot do that so I...
