Mountainside Tattoo — Local services in Rockingham

I was dissappoiont that my tattoo could of came out better like all the others who had their tattoo done there.The tattoo was messed up in a few places which could of been better. They messed up on the lady's hat which is not straight so I will have to get it retouched from a different artist. I booked my appointment a week in advance with a deposit but still had to wait an extra half hour because they didn't finish the other client on time. I also had a voucher that basically paid for 3 hours worth which they said they couldn't use it only on certain days which was in fine print it didn't say but supposbly with all the hassle they decided to put in only 100.00 towards the time.So basically I spent 300 on the tattoo when really it was supposed to be covered by the voucher already.So I paid 150.00 for the voucher on top of 150 for the time and deposit. Also before I even booked my appointment I did mention I had a voucher to used already too. I'm just disappointed that everything didn't go the right way. The only good part was the little dog they had...

I went there for a tongue piercing years ago, 6ish years ago or so. The man that did it pierced the needle right through my nerve. Left it in there. (Bleeding mucus-like blood.) It hurt like hell. I knew something was messed up with it as I told the piercer..he seemed like he didn't care at all. I went to the doctors and was told I have tongue nerve damage. Pretty messed up.

I do NOT recommend one of the guys there..I don't remember his exact name but I don't it started with a P or an A (🤦‍♀️.) Can't comment on the rest of the shops team. Just wanted to share my experience as I wouldn't want anyone else to experience nerve damage from an wrongly done piercer. Now I'm afraid to ever have one again..and I don't know if I could considering I still feel that weird nerve feeling in my tongue unfortunately, even...

So this was my first tattoo and I kind of found Mountainside Tattoo randomly through Google. It was a last minute thing and Alex, the owner, was more than flexible with trying to fit me in. After sending a couple of emails back and forth, he scheduled me for Labor Day morning, which fit my schedule more than his. Alex was awesome; answered all my questions, offered suggestions and always confirmed every step with me. He drew up a sketch and printed it off for me to see how it would look, and off we went. His parlor was very professional and clean, but very interesting to be in with cool collectables everywhere. He laid down the outline in no time; he was very gentle with the needle gun. After he filled it in, he bandaged me up, told me about cleaning and care and it was done. It was a great experience and could not have gone smoother for my first time. I will be going back to Mountainside Tattoo for all future tattoo work and will suggest it to...
