Pierced my helix sideways and it never healed even though I never slept on it. Also never mentioned I had to downsize my piercing. Inflated tattoo pricing and took advantage of the fact it was my friends and I's first tattoo. Would give a zero if I could. -Also their Friday the thirteenth sales are barely even sales. read more

Wow! "Not good" is right Yelp! My previous review touched on how this place over and over again has fallen bellow the standard level of expectations when going to a piercing/tattoo shop. I left a voicemail talking about how I am $70 short because you guys put jewelry in, and both times it fell out within 2 days. TWO DAYS! AND YOU CHARGED ME FOR THE SWAP! The shop called me, I missed it, I return the call and get told my info & what happened would be passed onto the owner so they can handle it. I've been ghosted! No response in over a week! Thank you for showing how little regard you have for your customers, you've really proved my point that you don't have quality service or jewelry. STEER CLEAR OF AMERICAN PRIDE read more

TW for the pictures (blood, piercing) I got a navel piercing done last Tuesday here and everything seemed fine, she told me my anatomy was fine for the navel piercing and then did the piercing. That whole experience was good but when i got home i noticed a small v-shaped cut (i was told by another piercer this was from a dull needle and/or poorly done piercing job) near the hole of the top ball. Then I realized my navel collapses when I sit down so i was having discomfort and it was putting pressure on the piercing which was causing the top hole to widen and migrate. I decided to go to a different piercing shop to get a second opinion and I was told that the piercing would migrate even more and possibly not heal. On top of this he explained that the piercing was done completely in the wrong spot and way too high (basically a stomach piercing) and he said I was pierced with EXTERNALLY threaded low quality jewelry (against the health department regulations for body piercings), wrong gauge, wrong length and wrong type of jewelry. He informed me that I need a floating navel or much smaller bar to accommodate for my navel anatomy which was never mentioned by the piercer at American pride. I am extremely upset and have been crying about this because I had to remove the piercing which will scar and wait months to get it PROPERLY done by another piercing shop. I will provide pictures and I will not name who did it because I never complain or write reviews but I am so incredibly upset and angry that I spent $100 (with a tip) and I am left with nothing but a scar. I hope they can take responsibility and take better precautions when doing piercings. Please do extensive research before going to any random piercer or piercing shop like i did. read more

Very friendly staff that did an excellent job putting my daughter at ease for a simple ear piercing.

This shop had a change of hands in terms of management and I have to correct the record after my last review. I went back a couple years after my botched experience, to support a friend while he got his piercing. After seeing the care and precision of the new piercer, I decided to give him a go at restabbing my septum. He was professional, clean and informative and did a really great job. I would totally recommend this shop. read more

My wife and I went and got two tattoos each, same day back-to-back from tattoo artist Jay Marlee. What a great experience! He was personable, great vibes and conversation throughout the journey. Everyone in there was very friendly and accommodating. Charged less than originally quoted too which is a plus! We will definitely be back to see Marlee again. 10/10 recommend! read more

If you're looking to get pierced, steer very clear of this place. I am so very disappointed in the quality of my piercing. I came here to get my nipples pierced, one nipple is pierced perfectly. The other one, it's awful, the piercing is hanging on by a thread, it's so painful and pierced totally incorrect, I'd share a photo if I could but that's obviously not a thing. I wasted over $100 for this and at the end of the day I had to take one of them out bc the piercer made a mistake. It's super frustrating bc as you know, those types of piercings are very painful and take a lot of time to heal, so now If I want it re pierced it's going to be super painful and have a long time to heal because of someone's mistake. Operator error and now I suffer. Do better and do yourself a favor never come here ever read more

They are AMAZING! They are always so friendly and helpful! Kate is amazing with my tattoos! She just did my wedding band tattoo! read more

My friends and I who decided last minute yesterday that we wanted a tattoo of a tooth , call this shop and they were able to squeeze us in last minute , same day after a consultation . :) We saw Jess and she was absolutely patient and kind with all of us and the babies we brought . I even had one friend who got a nose piercing same day with Aj and he was amazing ! Highly recommend! read more

This place used to be good before Kat decided that my daughter could not get her ears pierced for her 13th birthday because we did not bring her birth certificate. Although she had her school ID and both her parents were with her. Also we had taken her there two times before to have her cartilage pierced 1 year ago. But Kat says they don't keep anything on file and was very short and rude. Will not return there! Go somewhere that wants your business and will actually try to accommodate you. read more

I've gotten a tattoo and an eyebrow piercing here and it was great both times. Very professional and I would definitely recommend it. read more

when I first tried to come in they wouldn't let me in even tho it was an hour before closing, very smug and rude people, would generally recommend avoiding this place read more

The best beat beat place ever! So clean, very professional , personable & fun. Would 100000% go back for any of my need. They are the best!

Another successful piercing experience by my man AJ! He did my tongue 2-3 weeks ago and it healed beautifully, now he just did my tragus to prob be my last piercing on this ear. AJ is amazing: friendly, personable, calming, knowledge, honest, and very helpful. I won't go anywhere else for another piercing besides him. Great experience, would totally recommend this shop too. He also recommended his own tattoo artist to compete a half sleeve to a full sleeve by his dude Ian. Anyone who works at a tattoo shop with that much great art already trusts someone they work with to do all his work, I'll trust him too. When the time comes to pull the trigger....this is where I'm going. The shop is clean and professional all around. read more

I called to go in to get an estimate and they told me to call later, I called later and there was no one to do the tattoo which I understood and they told me to call back the next day. The next day I call they said call the day after that and I asked if I could just make an appointment and they said didn't have the appointment book infront of them and did not go to look for it. I don't think they accept new clients or clients that don't know the artists personally. Sadly too I was really excited to work with them on a piece. read more

Ian has been awesome ever since I moved to Rochester Hills 6 months ago. 13 tattoos later, he has become my main artist...and honestly I don't see going back to any of my old ones. He is skilled and artistic, also has a solid understanding of the physical responses your body has to the ink. AJ is cool af too, and both of these guys are professional but make every sit fun at the same time. I highly recommend American Pride for your next tattoo - or piercing for that matter - but I just go for ink, never been pierced read more

I've gotten 4 piercings at this location and have had a pleasant experience each time. I do find there pricing to be a bit expensive at times read more

I was very nervous for my first tattoo! However, the tattoo artist (Ian) made me feel cool and relaxed. Both mine and my finances tattoos turned out amazing, and I will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend Ian for all your tattooing needs! :) read more

Ian is an amazing artist and I highly recommend him!! I gave him a vague idea of what I wanted and he was able to sketch up a tattoo that was even better than I imagined. I was very hesitant about doing a colored tattoo but ended up trusting his opinion and I'm so happy I did. His professionalism and patience immediately put me at ease and I will be back to add on to this piece. read more

Shop is very clean. Ian is amazing and very talented and professional! Would go back to him for my future tattoos!

I have a history of ear piercings not healing well and being allergic to many metals. I took a chance and got my cartilage pierced at the Oxford location in December 2020. It healed beautifully with absolutely no problems!! If I ever decide to get another piercing I would 10/10 recommend this place. I went to the rochester location for a jewelry purchase & change and also had a great experience. read more

They lied about the quality of the jewelry after i told them i have a sensitivity to crap jewelry so ya don't go there 10/10 would not recommend read more

I was very nervous to get a tattoo because it was my first, but Randy was very helpful. He took steps to comfort me, educate me how to clean and take care of it, and make sure it was done just how I like it. Also, free touch ups...can't beat that. read more

My fiancé and I got tattoos by Randy and we are both extremely happy! He was kind and made great conversation. The process was quick, easy and just an excellent experience. I would recommend Randy to anyone 10/10 read more

All had weird attitudes like they dont want you in there good line work but other then that expensive as hell i paid for an outline only $125 its not worth it to come to this location read more

This place is so great and so are the artists and specialists. AJ was so kind to us and took his time making sure we understood all of the aftercare for our piercings and did such a great job with distracting me so I didn't get too freaked out by the needle. I definitely would recommend. They are super professional and very open minded. 10/10. read more

Got my first tattoo here and so happy with it! Ian was so friendly, funny, and accommodating. He calmed all me nerves and made sure I was happy with the results. Don't think it's overpriced, you get what you pay for and I definitely like the work I had done! read more

My favorite artist "Ian" has been taking care of most of my full sleeve tattoos and i'm happy every single work he has been done. He is also great at free hand and very creative. the shop is very clean and all crews are very nice! 100% recommended read more

Really like their service .I got my nose piercing there today, though there was lots of blood but I like it. :)

My two friends and I got all of our nipples pierced here. We came at like 9:30 and they still allowed us to get it done which was extremely nice. We were all a little nervous about it being uncomfortable but they made it so comfortable and easy and a way better experience than expected. I highly recommend coming here to get your nipples pierced. read more

Great place! I got my nose pierced and everyone there was very nice. Very professional and clean. So glad I choice to go here!

Had an appointment with Ian and when I went there, he informed me he didn't have time for my consultation. Never coming back..

Nice people, clean place... But so terribly overpriced. Had a tattoo done there and walked out crying about how it looked. It was supposed to be in the center of my back, it was SO far to the left. Some lines were bolder than others, lines weren't straight, they were shaky and wavy and it looked like a 10 year old tattooed me. Contacted my artist later and tried to schedule another appointment in order to fix it, and he never got back with me. So I went somewhere else where they totally fixed that awful job that American pride did. So disappointed with the money I spent for something permanent on my body, and for something I had to cover up. read more

Honestly, nice people, nice place... But fucking sucked. I overpaid so much for a piece of shit on my neck. Off centered, so expensive, and it literally could not have been a worse tattoo. I had to get it fixed by someone else who I should've went to in the first place. read more
