Tongue piercing by Bryan.

I went into the shop in the AM. The man at the front desk told me that the guy for piercing was not there yet but will be soon and took my phone number so that he could call me when he arrived. I never received a call. Instead I called back around 2:30 and asked if he had come in yet and they said yeah nonchalantly as if I wasn't suppose to be hearing from them. But I let it go. The staff was very nice. However, as Bryan was showing all of the sterile equipment (which I appreciated), I noticed that he was using a short barbell. I did ask about it because I was almost 99.99% sure that I was suppose to have a long barbell for swelling purposes. But Bryan said that it didn't matter and he sounded educated so I let it go, again... Big mistake. I went through with the piercing which is actually my 2nd time getting this pierced but it was 6 years ago. This time hurt sooo much more than the first time. They charged me $40.00 for the piercing and it is $25.00 at most other places. Bryan told me to rinse with listerine (with alcohol) after every meal and drink that isn't water. Once I got home, I started researching about the barbell. Turns out, I was right. The barbell can actually embed into your tongue if there isn't enough room for your tongue to swell. I actually called another tattoo parlor to verify this information. They were shocked and offered to change the barbell for me, I haven't yet due to just getting it done and being really painful. Then I found out that the after care information given to me was wrong. I am actually suppose to be using an alcohol free mouthwash. All in all, a lot of time, money, and pain. I thought it would be fine, ratings were good. Maybe getting a tattoo is different here but as for piercings I...

Came for a conch piercing back in July. Everything seemed fine once my piercing was done. 5 months went by, and it hadn’t healed at all, even though I was careful and kept it clean. After developing a pretty big keloid, I went to a different piercer for a second opinion. He realized the ball was missing and that my ear wasn’t fully pierced. I was freaking out, thinking the ball was under my skin and that my piercing bump was actually the ball! I found a picture (taken while still in the studio), and it turned out the piercer here had pinched the earring on, rather than putting it all the way through and securing it with a ball. He also found that I was pierced with a 16g hoop, after the girl who pierced me told me it was 14g. Because my ear was sensitive, irritated, and not pierced completely, I had to have it removed. So now I have no piercing, a piercing bump that is thankfully healing well, and I’m out $60 from my visit here. A shame, because it was a very pretty piercing done...

I got a tattoo here and I absolutely love it, it's stunningly well done! He was quick, he gave me a nice break, and was very easy to chat with! Very polite when working with you BUT it is incredibly hard to get ahold of them I have messaged them on FB tried to show up in person and text/call their number and I went unanswered for over a week before my tattoo and I wanted to get another one done with a friend there and it's been weeks of not being answered again only this time still no contact back, I don't think it's personal because my friend tried to get in touch too with the same results and he had told us to come back for our next tattoos. =( Very sad loved the work but im going to have to find another shop to continue my business since I can't ever seem to get in touch with this one but again my tattoo...
