    I have been wanted to go to this place and today I finally did. The store is open weekends only…read morefrom one to 6 and the staff is super friendly. As you first drive in the parking is located at the back of the building. To get to the parking. You have to drive between two building. There is plenty of parking. Once you enter the building. The decorations are pretty neat. The tattoo parlor is to your left. It is an interesting place to visit because of the decor. I saw old fashion dolls around. It was diferent. The store is to the right side. No photography allowed inside (bummer) inside is a store. An odd type of store. Is like stuff that was left from a freak show back in the day. It is really earie. I felt like I was in American Horror Story Carnival. It was very cool. They have a sign at the entrance. The sign reads something like browsing is welcome and that donations are appreciated. Not exactly on those words lol. So if you are browsing like me. You might want to bring a few dollars.

    unsatisfied and felt lied to…read more I booked this appointment 3 months in advance with a clearance on size, reference, and placement with Rafael and his assistant. Upon arrival Rafael drew something up to his liking of my reference but it was completely different than what I was expecting. In minor shock I was silent. I have two full stomach tattoos, 3 portraits, a half leg sleeve, and a back neck tattoo all done by differing artist and none have ever changed what i wanted so drastically. Rafael felt my vibe being off and then offered me to work with him on what we could do. Not dead set on the tattoo I originally showed him 3 months in advance I asked if he did portraits as I would like one more. He pointed to one that I already had and blatantly asked "why don't you just go back to that artist?". Once again I was taken aback by the comment. After discussing not doing another tattoo we set back on track for the original reference and idea I provided. He drew something much closer to what I wanted but I asked for more detail. He assured me there would be more detail in the actual tattoo than in the drawing. He also assured me that the sizing wasn't an issue and would connect to my other tattoos. After he was 'finished' neither promises were kept. The tattoo looks unfinished in detailing especially in comparison to what I asked for and in the look of my tattoo style. The tattoo also does not fade into my other tattoo shading. This is so disappointing as he had an apprentice with him who was listening to Rafael call himself extremely talented and gifted and naturally amazing at tattooing. This also left me so unsatisfied I decided to pay and leave as he did not want to (or could not) do what I asked for. I will now have to spend more money with a different artist to finish what he started.

    I was so excited about going to this place and when I arrived, I was helped by a very nice woman…read morethat unfortunately, had terrible body odor. It was overwhelming. I tried to disregard and continued through the process of selecting an earring and place to pierce my ear, but when I went to the bathroom just before the piercing, I nearly threw up. The stench and condition of the bathroom was worse than any rest stop public restroom I've ever been in. By the time u laid down on the table for the piercing, once again her body odor was so overwhelming, I couldn't handle another second and had to make an excuse that I was having 2nd thoughts. I had such high hopes for this place and would love to try again if this is resolved.

    Nervously walking in after making the decision of getting my nose pierced, Sweet Leaf staff made me…read morefeel safe immediately. I was greeted with a smile and the process was explained to me. I chose the jewelry I preferred and then I waited for a few minutes while the technician went to prepare everything to be sterilized for the procedure. It didn't take long before I was called in. She explained how the process would go and some of the things I would experience which was very helpful to me. The procedure itself had a quick painful moment. It didn't last long at all. Before I realized, we were done and my nose was sparkling with my new piece of jewelry! I wish I remember the name of the technician to give her a shout out, but if you're reading this, you were awesome :) Afterwards, I was explained the healing process and how I needed to take care of my new nose ring. Overall, it was a great experience. I think most importantly to me is that the staff made me feel safe, welcomed, and I felt informed of what was about to happen which me being nervous, made a huge difference! Ps. I think the nose ring looks epic ;) thank you!

    This would be my third time getting my second piercing on my ear lobes. The last two times I didn't…read moresurpass longer than a few weeks without it getting infected. It didn't matter how many times I would clean the new piercings or what I did it would always get infected. I was determined to have my second piercing so a friend recommended this place and I gave them a try. As soon as you enter you will see clowns and video game machines and lots of jewelry to choose from. They accept walk ins so we didn't make an appointment. The shop was empty on the Sunday afternoon when we went, so we were attended to quickly. The staff is not the friendliest which is why I'm not giving them 5 stars. We were told we would have options to choose from for the jewelry and we were not given any options. The tattoo artist was not very talkative nor communicative. It's been a month and I've had 0 issues with my piercings. The piercing on the left and right ear have not been infected, Ive had no discomfort, and no pain. This is the longest a piercing has lasted me. The tattoo artist is clearly a good piercer and good at what he does. My friend got her helix pierced and she also hasn't had any issues and has had a smooth healing. If you're like me who has had issues in the past with piercings, I suggest to giving this artist a try.

    Art did my second lobe and my helix piercing and it was very smooth and came out very nice. I got…read moreit done about three weeks ago and it's been healing up nicely. I've been doing all of the care instructions that he gave me and it's been going very smoothly with no scarring. I keep saying smooth, but it genuinely was a very smooth process. He was asking me questions to distract my mind and he happened very quickly. I highly recommend Art. Will be going back for my nose piercing soon.
