Just had the worst possible piercing experience. I wanted to get a nose stud, which right off the bat the piercer tried to bend the jewelry himself while one of the other staff members mockingly asked if i was scared. The piercing was extremely painful and he struggled for over 10 minutes trying to get the piercing in while raising his voice and cursing. He eventually made my nose bleed twice while attempting to fit the hand bent jewelry in my nose. He said i could pick another color and i initially said yes so that it wouldn’t scar. He had no sterile tools to use and lost his temper on another staff member for bringing him a different type of jewelry he wanted. He was extremely inexperienced and very unprofessional with losing his temper and walking off several times. I ended up leaving and will now experience even more pain getting it pierced elsewhere. If you get pierced here just know that they are extremely...

Got two tattoos by Julian, probably around March 2021 and wow do I regret it. First tat was on the side of my finger and when I told him I needed a break, he FORCED me to sit through it. (I already had two previous finger tattoos and those artists cared and gave me a break.) So when Julian straight up declined to give me a break and held down my fingers, I should have walked out. However I wanted a second tattoo of a word in THIN LINES. Which he said, that’s his specialty…. Just look at the pic. I understand ink can merge, blur, etc. but he did the lines too thick to begin with and you can barely read it. The stencil was good, but for some reason he decided to make the lines thicker… I let time pass by just in case I would start to like it but tbh I can’t. Gotta remove it now, thanks for the worst service ever Julian!

I went back again in May 2021 but the attitude he was giving was not...

I can’t believe I walked in here, I am so disappointed with myself. I asked for a simple tattoo and constantly got nagged at by the tattoo artist because I wanted the piece to be smaller. This is something that’s going to be on my body for the rest of my life and if I want it smaller, do it. I don’t understand Rob, the tattoo artist to be honest, he just kept complaining and nagging because I wanted the piece smaller and a different placement. I now have to pay extra to laser remove the tattoo or lighten it a little bit just so I can get it fixed by another tattoo artist. What irritated me more was the fact that I asked him beforehand if he could do the job and he said yes, It doesn’t even look close to what I wanted. I should have walked out the moment he complained. I’m actually so disappointed and will never be stepping close to this...
