I was tattooed by Sam last month and I cannot recommend her enough. I first attended one of their…read moreopen houses where I was able to talk to Sam about my tattoo idea. The shop is nestled in a cute neighborhood with plenty of shop parking. I didn't bring a +1 but the shop has several sitting areas so I am sure you could bring someone if that makes you more comfortable. The shop also is woman-owned and has all women tattoo artists. Sam was wonderful! I have other artwork on my arm so she took the time to ensure the new piece worked with my existing work and also my anatomy. Her prices are reasonable given her 10+ years of tattooing experience and I enjoyed talking to Sam as I was getting tattooed. The tattoo took about 3 hours and we took 2-3 breaks. After the appointment, she gave me a care package that included tattoo moisturizing cream and wash from Ikonik. Overall, I would love to come back to cover more of my arm!

I had no idea that ear anatomy was so difficult, so thank goodness I went to him! My original idea (which I was told at a different shop I could've done) would have hit a blood vessel in my ear and ended terribly. SPYRO SAVED MY EARS and did a beautiful job. He works with you and your budget and your anatomy to create a custom look that you will love. I'm completely sold on Gypsy Hill, and as soon as this piercing is healed, I'm going back to help dress up my other ear ! Do yourself a favor and visit them! So professional, clean, friendly, and supportive. They take as much time as you need and talk you through everything. I cannot say how amazing they are! 10/10/10 TENS ACROSS THE BOARD

I booked an appointment and experienced misleading pricing, scheduling mistakes, and extremely…read moreunprofessional customer service. The artist quoted me one price, then increased it by $150 after I paid my deposit. My first appointment date was mishandled by the studio, costing me a full day. Their deposit policy is misleading: clients pay $105, and if they need to reschedule, that deposit is forfeited, a second deposit is required, and only the second one applies toward the tattoo. This was never explained upfront. When I had a genuine emergency (my dog was rushed to the ER the night before my appointment and I became physically ill), I notified the studio more than 5 hours ahead. Instead of compassion, I was mocked by staff, told I had 30 minutes to decide whether to come in, and later received rude text messages. I have been tattooed by over 50 artists nationwide and have never encountered such treatment. This business uses unfair, deceptive policies and treats clients with disrespect. I am requesting my $105 deposit be refunded and for their policies to be clearly disclosed to future clients.

I got a piercing done here. First of all, the actual piercing was done professionally and hygienic…read more I have no complaints with that, he did very well from that perspective. Pricing wise I do just want to point out a couple things for people: the piercings are a little pricey which I'm okay with as long as it's advertised upfront. He doesn't mention that he charges separately for the salt based after care solution ($15+ or something) and he didn't mention that until ~after~ I already had the piercing, when it was inconvenient for me to go elsewhere for it. Also, the base selection for earrings that are included in the price are pretty limited, like 3 choices. So be prepared to pay $20+ for earrings if you don't like the couple options provided. Just some things to consider - he was friendly and performed the piercing well otherwise. Just a lot of upselling that would be nice if it was more transparent from the beginning. He also asks for a tip at the end which is fine. Ended up being ~$170 for basic earlobe piercing in both ears with the cleaning solution and a basic other pair of earrings that wasn't included.

I recently had 4 piercings done at this location during the current Coronavirus time. The piercer…read moredid not wear a mask and suggested that I take off my mask which I didn't do because there's a pandemic and virus still going on. The location is kind of sketchy. The inside isn't the cleanest. My gauges of my piercings spacing wasn't super even. There was definitely ca difference on both sides.After almost a week past by I noticed that something was going on with my new piercing so I can't act and made an appointment. The front staff had no clue that I was coming in which gives me knowledge of a lack communication takes place here. When I went in during this 2nd visit staff weren't wearing masks, I didn't receive a temp. check and the staff were not social distancing. As I made it to my piercer and waiting in the hallways he was finishing up with a client's tattoo. The guest did not have a mask on and the piercer did not have a mask on. The piercer did not wipe down the chair that I was sitting on and did not wash his hands after servicing me. Instead he just put on a new pair of gloves. The day after this situation I noticed that my other ear started swelling up and puss started squeezing out as time went on. I have experience with piercings and this was my first really bad experience. Now there's a part of my ear that is blackish/purplish with a bump. I'm not sure if this experience is because of sanitation. I contacted management which was helpful the first time and wasn't that helpful this most recent time. Instead the manager said that they only charged me for 2 piercings which isn't my fault because I called in advance and was told when to come in for my 4 requested piercings. If you care about your safety, health, the environment and respect do not go there. The piercer Spade is actually a nice guy minus him not being health conscious about COVID-19. When I left during my first visit I asked the staff if there's anything else needed and that this was my first time here and they said no and I said okay have a good day. Hey maybe I shouldn't have risked it by getting a piercing during these different timings and by seeing how the atmosphere is, but I didn't want to judge a book by its cover. I wouldn't recommend anyone to get any services there. I also asked the owner about a refund which I still have not received a response about. Unprofessional servicing and a lack of cleanliness ------------ More photos added - ended up taking out my ear piercings a little after a week of getting them done. I called other shops for advice. The owner isn't responding to me. I also have no received a refund and reported to the Health Department. I hope no one has to go through this.
