We called in & asked what time we could walk in, they were incredibly kind on the phone. Shaun tattooed my ocean scene and Scott did the postage stamp.

We also LOVE that they use saniderm patches for tattoos. 10/10 can't stop raving about Porkchops.

TL;DR: Go *literally* anywhere else for piercings and maybe only go to the tattoo side for the…read moreflash sales. I'm putting a review here under the tattoo shop to warn anyone who may see it about the horror that is the piercing side. As far as the tattoo side, I've only gone for flash tattoos and love them. My partner scheduled a couple pieces with Lori that overall came out ok, she didnt quite schedule herself enough time and started rushing towards the end though which was quite annoying. Now the real reason I'm signed back on to this dreadful app. Kim, the head piercer, is extremely negligent and as such has trained her newest piercer Jesse to be negligent. Kim pierced my partners lip and failed to give him after care instructions because I was with him and have 5 oral piercings(I didn't live in Myrtle at the time he got pierced). When he went back to her because he was having trouble with the healing, she put a much too small ring on it and was dismissive when she was told it was snug. I ended up calling Elite to see if they had time to take him and fix what she screwed up. When I went to get a flash tattoo for the Friday the 13th flash sale I had some time to kill while waiting for my partner to get called back, I noticed that Kim wasn't the one doing piercings so I gave the woman a chance and got my nostril done. This woman as it turns out was trained by Kim to believe that using a cork reduces swelling(it doesnt), and that the inside of the nostril doesnt need to be cleaned(it does) because the nose is "self cleaning". So instead of a sanitary piercing, she did not clean the inside of my nostril, shoved a porous object into my nose, stabbed through my flesh in a way that it hurt almost as bad as my nipple piercings, had to fight the cork out of my nose wiggling the needle in the fresh wound that she just created, then sent the needle that was just lodged in the now very dirty porous object, back through the wound to put *threadless* jewelry in my nostril which means that even though I know better than to not clean the inside of my nostril, I did not even have the *ability* to properly clean the new piercing because a flat back jewelry in a space as tight as a nostril doesnt lend much space to clean under. I am beyond livid. That is my 16th piercing, I have managed to temporarily salvage it from having to stay out and heal up wasting more money because I am actually competent enough to know how to heal a disaster but I shouldn't have to be going through the amount of effort I am going through to keep this piercing. I got my tongue pierced in someone's garage for free cuz some dude wanted to see my tits when I was 18 and that piercing gave me less trouble than this nostril.

I had initially wanted a scripture (Genesis 16:13) below the Hebrew letters but due to the size I wanted he explained that over time the loops of the letters would close and it would not look crisp/clean anymore. I was grateful for that feedback as I was unaware of that fact and would not want a tattoo that doesn't look high quality... even years down the road. It's a very clean place: brand new needle in package shown to me before tattoo work began. Thorough follow up care provided including great responsiveness to messages. Very reasonable price for such quality work.
