Hi! Thanks for your response! I greatly appreciate it! Your employee Haley said the website didn't…read morestate any of what you just said and needed to be updated. She also stated she would inform you of this so you could fix it. I'm glad you finally updated your website so that future customers won't experience what my daughter did.  I'm never too busy or in a rush to read regarding my money and my daughter's safety. Anything that requires upfront payments or a deposit; I'm going to read so I know if I will be refunded in unforeseen situations like the one at your shop. Taking accountability for a mistake is much better than responding passive-aggressively, especially considering that you are the shop owner. Again, thanks for responding. Have an amazing day!

Let me start off by saying I love my tattoo courtesy of Big Mike. He did a great job and I hope to…read morebe back again. Now, I was a walk-in but I had emailed with them several times regarding price and availability. I appreciate that they told me to call before coming in (which I did) because I didn't want to go in vain. Big Mike is super nice, chill and very easy to talk to. I'm a teacher and he's a soon to be art teacher so we bonded over that. Really cool guy and very patient and understanding. Mike took the time to search for fonts that resembled what I wanted and then trying out different sizes, never once rushing the process which I appreciated. Once the tattoo outline was placed on my skin, he again asked me if the placement was what I wanted and size, again thanks for doing that. Overall, loved my experience here, have & will continue to recommend. Super clean, friendly artists, in & out in 30 mins. Thank you for making me feel comfortable the whole time and good luck with the edTPA mike! P.S.- I came here on a rainy day around 3pm so it was kind of empty and then picked up so piece of advice: email & call beforehand.

I'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.

The services are wildly expensive; I wound up paying around $300 for jewelry that immediately tarnished day of and piercings that were so painful and irritating that I had to take them out the day after I got them done. They charge per earring, which start at about $50, so there's no way you're paying less than $100 for jewelry. Which I would understand, if the jewelry was high quality and tarnish-free, but the jewelry rusted and turned my ear black within hours. The staff is very nice, but please consider going to a real piercing shop with real professionals to avoid the pain I went through after this experience.
