The studio is also just so professional and sanitary all around and they have so many jewelry options. Would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting piercings!

I emailed and heard back quickly confirming the date and time I had requested and also received a text the day before to confirm the appointment. I was greeted immediately and since I was early he asked if I would wait while he finished up with the lady he was already talking too. They have a large waiting room so I sat and within a few minutes he called me back up. You fill out a quick form, pick your jewelry and Russell takes you right back. He is fantastic and his personality will quickly eliminate any nerves or fear you have. He takes the time to explain his process step by step and then it's over! He gives aftercare instructions and you are on your way with your new piercing? Definitely will go back and highly recommend Russell for any piercing needs!

On July the 10th my wife and I went to the shop and all was okay but the vibe there wasn't a great…read moreexperience at all. Our wait time was crazy and it was almost and hour before we even got started. The Tattoo artist that was helping us was just too slow but he was okay. The power went out in the middle of my wife tattoo session because of a rain storm and I was not okay with the tattoo artist finishing her work in the dark even with a little light on there head. We had allreafy paid for a full service from the artist so I asked the tattoo artist that was working on my wife's neck work could we get some kind of discount on her services because there was no lights and they were trying to fi ish her work half way in the dark. There were two other workers in the shop and things just went left they were very unprofessional they were getting in mine and my wife's business when i was only talking to the tattoo artist that was working on my wife's neck. The young lady that works at this establishment was on the phone with her boss and letting them know that I didn't want the tattoo artist too finish the work in the dark and that was cool then the other tattoo artist started to get nasty with me talking a bunch of smack and being very disrespectful too me and my wife saying that the artist has to get paid as qell for some of the work that he had done and i wasn't even arguing with that point but we also need to be compensated as well because my wife tattoo was not finished the police was called on us because they said that we as the clients were being rude and disrespectful too them and we need to leave the establishment now. I said that I wasn't going to leave until we go back some of our money back that the tattoo artist JAY said that he was going to give us. It really never had to go this far but when you get into someone else bussiness and have no idea what you or the tattoo artist has talked about the other workers should have stayed out of it. The out side tattoo artist said that he felt threatened by me a black woman and her black wife the other workers was a white female that was acting like a little girl because she needed to call the police and get them involved. The second no fator person was maybe a white male mixed with other nationalities. The Gastonia Police Officers that showed up was not far at all they never asked what was going on they didn't want to ask myself or my wife what happened how could we help to resolve the situation they came siding already with the white woman and never asked any questions. I would ever recommend this tattoo shop to anyone i know there. If I was you make sure that when you go there make sure that you ask questions about being compensated on ink work if the powet goes out how does that work and make sure when you are dealing with the tattoo artist that you keep other workers out of your bussiness with the person that's doing your work. I will never ever go back to this shop ever again. They will call the poilce on you just for standing for your rights. This place is not a good place too go. We are still waiting on our refund now they said that it should take 7-10 business days and when we were trying to call back and speak too the artist tuat was working on my wife's neck he didn't even want to talk to us either and he is a black man so don't think that they will have your back in any situation thathappens at this tatto shop. Until we get out money back I'll be on here every othe day bashing this shopand there workers. I'm going to show you all the unfinished work of JALN the tatto artist was supposed to be doing. If you are ever in GASTONIA NEVER EVER EVER go into this tattoo and priceing place they were and is very unprofessional.

This tattoo shop comes highly recommended by many of my friends. So I bit the bullet and decided to…read moreget my 3rd tattoo here. I went during a consultation day and talked to Dustin about what I wanted. Set up the appointment and then just waited til the big day. It was my first tattoo in 10 years so I was a bit nervous. My last tattoo was done in a drunken stupor so I barely remembered what a tattoo felt like. Lol. But Dustin was friendly and after applying the stencil, making sure I was happy with the placement, he let me know that he was going to pull a line on the tattoo and to let him know how it felt. It hurt. Not gonna lie. But after a few mins I remembered it wasn't so bad after all. The place is super clean and the staff is extremely friendly. From the time you walk in to the time you leave, there's active conversation and engagement by the staff. Which is awesome. Some shops aren't like that at all. The artists are very talented and they can do an array of art pieces. I plan on getting some piercings in the summer and have heard rave reviews on how great the piercers are. UPDATE: (9/8/18): I went back and got two piercings by Nathan. He was super friendly, laid back and has a really cool kinda silly personality. But that's what you want when you're getting needles pushed through your flesh. He did a great job with making sure I was comfortable, making sure everything was sanitary, and making sure I was ok multiple times before, during and after the piercing. He's very thorough and I'd highly recommend him for your piercings. See photos!

One…read moreof the artist tattooed me, I immediately contacted the shop and the owner said he would "fix" this at no charge and thanked me for not going public with this. But.... Since May, the owner has only made the situation worse, acted with no urgency to correct this and said he was going to start charging me. So I started visiting other artist that specialize in cover-up work in Charlotte and they can not believe the amount of damage that has been done to my arm. Most say ANY quality tattoo artist would know better than to try to cover up anything that big, that dark and that new. I have scarring, uneven color and the issue that needed covering has not been covered. Tomorrow, I will start laser removal! So....to wrap that all up for you....S'Moore Ink took my money, had 2 artist jack my arm up, lied to me about a fix, did not take into factor my feelings, acted with no urgency to correct, lied about no charge, refused to pay for removal and said they will have no further communication with me. Being " Best in Gaston" doesn't mean alot.
