Let me start by saying how much I despise needles!!! However, I was interested in getting a daith…read morepiercing (for quite some time now) & lately, I have been wanting to really get it done. I spontaneously went to Hydravolve Studios because I was nearby, it had good reviews online and I wanted to check out styles, prices, etc. I met with Shannon who was just finishing up with a client & happened to be available the remainder of that evening. She went over everything with me and showed me the earrings. It was way too plain for me and the only downfall - they don't have a good variety to choose from in stock. If you wan't rhinestones/more bling or a specific style, etc., you'll need to order it with her, wait for it to come in and then go back to get your piercing. With the fact that I have been contemplating getting this piercing done for a long time, I knew I was ready to get it done right then and there..but also wanted something with bling. Lucky for me, Shannon was able to find an earring with a "little" bling and told me it was available since the person who ordered it, after a month or so, never came back. I decided to go for it and so glad I did. I did tell Shannon to not show me the needle she was going to use or anything because I'd probably run out of the room lol Shannon was very informative; told me everything she was doing, step by step. She was very clean, very nice and super gentle. It happened so quickly with one deep breath. After she was done, she went over in detail on clean/care instructions. I would definitely recommend Shannon. She was great!!! You do have to reach out to her via email and make an appointment.

I regret coming here. I came for a daith & helix and it got messed up 3x. Let me explain…read more Got overcharged for jewelry I didn't buy and I had to go back for a refund & they're hella overpriced. Shannon did the helix & daith & it was so bad my ear hurt & swelled up and Judy had to take them out & redo them & taking them out hurt like bloody murder. She said she must've been having a "bad day" to miss BOTH so bad. How bad? I was having headaches & pain nonstop on top of the swelling & bleeding in just ONE WEEK (& I never swell or bleed from my 9 previous piercings). The daith prevented my ear from being touched at all even from the back and swelled up & stuck out. An X-Ray & MRI showed my ancient helix next to the new one and the old one was perfectly straight & perpendicular to my ear but the new one was so crooked it made a "Z" between top & bottom helix & I couldn't heal from it. From the front, the top 2 were close together but super spaced from the bottom & the back was completely the opposite. Judy redid the daith after letting it heal for a month & it was perfect. She redid helix after giving it a month to heal & it was crooked again. Same angle but not as bad. She said "it's just your ear". Excuse me?? A skilled professional should be able to compensate & my other 2 helix piercings were perfectly straight except for THAT one. They hit the dot they marked but the angle made the front & back look completely the opposite from each other. I'm not paying for another MRI & X-Ray to prove the redo was crooked again. I already saw it from the 1st one & my drs said it was messed up even though that wasn't the point of getting those tests done. I met with the piercing manager Samantha & she said it "didn't matter where it comes out the back as long as the front mark was hit". HUGE red flag That's the reason the helix Shannon did was fucked up & I couldn't heal from it (& I'm a fast healer) & it hurt like death to get it taken out. The angle is critical for a perpendicular hit & swift healing. She also said "I know I can't please you" because she swears the piercing Judy did was straight but off by a millimeter & also blaming my ear & said she's been "doing this for 13yrs" like it's the end all be all. Girl. Just because you've been doing it for some time doesn't mean you're any good. That goes for any profession. And if any other job was "having a bad day" and missed 2 of 2, I'd say they can't do their job. She was hella rude about it with a high & mighty attitude too. No apologies or refunds, just them blaming the client & excuses they're having a bad day. And she acted like she was doing me a favor not charging me for having the piercings removed when it was her people who messed up. THE ATTITUDE OMG. Sam & Shannon have the same nasty attitude. Judy was the only nice one. No one deserves to be treated like that especially a paying customer. I had to go to Urgent Care to get this treated, go on antibiotics, & go to my PCP. Too many drs visits. This place is a nightmare. Avoid it. Literally a rip off. They've ripped off & overcharged other people (I was told so in the shop) & go read the other reviews. Go ANYWHERE ELSE. You have many choices. Save yourself the time, money, aggravation, & physical injuries & pain & then getting blamed for it while getting excuses. A piercing from a piercing gun at the mall is perfectly straight (with X-rays as proof) & no excuses. Me, my brother, & his twins have never had problems even after many years & decades with our piercings and it costs a fraction of the price. Again, go anywhere else but here. Paying more (A LOT MORE) doesn't equate to better service.

The staff is super friendly, and the shop takes their service very seriously. I show up at my allotted time (maybe 10 mins early cause there's always paperwork). I get all signed in. The person running the desk is usually pretty busy. They seem to get a lot of calls and bookings when the shop is full of artists and folks. When it's my turn I get escorted back to the artist or they come and get me in the cute little waiting area. There's clearly a lot of time taken to keep the shop clean here. I've seen so many single use sanitary needles and paper towels among other things. Everything gets wiped down before I get going. The artists do a good job of making sure you are ready and super happy with the sizing and placing. One of my tattoos I actually asked to be moved three or four times and I felt like a butt but the artist was super chill about it. I am not the person to send back a restaurant dish if it's wrong and it took some practice to tell artists to resize or relocate an outline. During the tattooing process I get asked a good number of times if I'm comfortable or if I need to stand up and shake it out. They do have water and snacks if you forget, but you should always eat! I will always return to this shop. It's a third-place for me for sure. I always feel like family.

I was so in love with the tattoo that I decided to make an appointment with him at the studio during my next visit to Atlantic City (the studio is in Deptford and I drove an hour to the studio because that's just how awesome David is). Upon entering the studio I was blown away by just how bright, inviting and massive the studio was! They do tattooing, piercing and also have a large retail section that sells awesome items (& they were having a Black Friday sale). I worked with David via email on the design (& also signed all my paperwork and submitted deposit electronically) which was super convenient and when I arrived at my scheduled time David was ready for me (which is also awesome because I've had appointments with other artists at other studios and they were never on time). David was awesome as usual and allowed breaks whenever I needed them and also finished within the number of hours discussed. I LOVED LOVED LOVED my new piece of art and my friend who was with me also love it (& the overall vibe of the studio that she is thinking of scheduling an appointment as well), Lastly, the artwork throughout the studio is sooooo dope and you can just tell that these people CARE and are GREAT PEOPLE because the energy is that real and flowing from everywhere.

One of Berlin's newest hidden gems, Valhalla Artworks is too nice to be called a tattoo shop (which…read moreis probably why they chose not to include the words "tattoo" or "shop" in their name.) Impeccably clean, warm and inviting and with an air of sophistication that belies its humble South Jersey location, VA is one part tattoo studio and one part art museum. No flash, piercings or body mod here; VA is all about the ink and taking it to a whole new level. Owner MJ Bonanno, Dan Fisher and Kristy Ruggiero are three of the most talented tattooers in the area. MJ recently re-did my first tattoo and the end result was twice as good as the original (which I had done elsewhere, back when I didn't know any better!) This is MJ's second studio and he's clearly learned a thing or two about what a studio can -- and should -- be. Whether your getting your first tattoo or your 100th, do yourself a favor and visit Valhalla Artworks before you make your final (permanent!) decision. I doubt you'll ever want to go anywhere else again.
