No infection and it was a clean and almost "her words" painless process. I would recommend this place because it was very clean and very professional. I saw some of the skin art being done and I have to say that I will be getting my next tat there. Prices are fair and the artistes there are really above what I expected. Don't think I will be going anywhere else. I am set to take my other daughter there soon to do the same thing. Trust me when I say that the woman in charge of the piercings is very professional and kind and very thoughtful of her customers. And she will go above and beyond your expectations. Go see them! You will not be disappointed.

I can't really recommend this place highly enough. A little context is needed to get the full…read morepicture. More than a few years back I had some work done - some mountains on my shoulder - that I was not happy with... at all. A few years later I got it reworked over a few sessions and it looked better, but it still wasn't great. I had more or less given up, resigning myself to a tattoo that looked like nothing I wanted and that I would always have to explain as a mistake. It sucked. Fast forward to the summer of '18. I had moved to NC from UT a couple years earlier. I started contacting artists in Charlotte, Greensboro, and Asheville. I sent pictures of what I had and described what I was looking for. Most places never returned my message or call and if they did they more or less said, "I can make it look better, but it will never look like you want". Then I messaged Mike. A day or two later I got a very enthusiastic message saying he would love to work on it and he was confident he could make it look a lot better. We exchanged messages and eventually discussed it over the phone. I came down to Charlotte (still cautions in my optimism). Again, he was supremely confident that he could make it happen. I set up an appointment and went in. My appointment took most of the day, but time flew by. I was more nervous than anything (this was my last chance), which made me more squirmy than normal, but Mike was super patient and kept telling me it was going to be fine. We chatted all day about everything under the sun, told some jokes, watched some TV, enjoyed some Korean food during breaks... all while he worked through a back injury to fix my tattoo. As it turns out, he was 100% right. Not only did he fix the piece, he exceeded my expectations. It was truly incredible. I could not have been happier with the outcome, with what he could do. There is often an intense sense of appreciation when someone does good work on your body bc it ain't going anywhere, but when someone fixes something that has been there for years that you weren't proud of... man, I can't thank Mike enough. Mike even followed up and asked how things were healing. He genuinely cared about the work. He wanted me to be happy. If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Go here to get your tattoos.

Then I went in to pay my cash deposit, and left with an appointment for the same day. Catherine was amazing! Since it was our first time meeting, she took great care in designing my tattoo. I ended up making some last minute adjustments. The final design was even better than what I imagined. She took care to make sure I was happy with the placement of the design before starting. We had great conversation through the entire process. I left with very detailed instructions of how to care for my tattoo. It has been a week and I am so happy with how it turned out as well as the healing process. I can't wait to return for my next one!

I have two older tattoos and their artist has long since moved to the other side of the country, so…read morewhen I needed new ink I was apprehensive for multiple reasons, not the least of which was the fact the tattoo would be a memorial to my husband. I needed to trust a new studio and artist not just to create something that meshed with my existing work but also to integrate a tiny bit of John's ashes in the ink. Happily, fortunately, a friend has been getting work done at Haylo for years and recommended the studio. Bless you, Daniel. As soon as I stepped inside the hidden underground studio I was in a different world, a better world, a world where whatever emotional or mental pain you bring is supplanted by peace and harmony when you depart. I'm not kidding. Haylo fairly hums with serenity, and the talented ladies that work there - it's owned and operated by women - treat you not like a blank canvas but rather as a newfound friend and companion on this journey. My artist Sam (hi Sam!) was kind, exuded positive vibes, and showed immense reverence for the moment. She based the design on something my late husband had created when we first started dating, checked with me repeatedly about the approach she was taking, and fundamentally ensured I knew she was keenly aware of the importance of that work. You can get tattoos in hundreds of places in Charlotte alone. Haylo Healing Arts Lounge is where you go when the work matters, when you need heart and soul injected as well as the ink. I cannot recommend them, or thank them, nearly enough. Oh and heck yeah I'm going back.

Charlotte is so lucky to have Paris Tattoos back. I have wanted to get a new tattoo for several…read moreyears but couldn't find a descent tattoo artist near by. I was spoiled by Paris's previous tattoos I had gotten. When I saw Paris returned to Charlotte, I jumped on getting an appointment ASAP. My new tattoo is well beyond all of my expectations! You can review my picture to see for yourself. Paris worked on many versions of the tattoo I had in mind until it was perfect, size wise and color wise. After getting my tattoo, Paris personally reached out to me checking on my healing process, which I really appreciated. Of course everywhere I go I get compliments. If you want a professional, talent driven tattoo I urge you to make an appointment with Paris. Oh and his pricing is extremely fair. I had budgeted in my head twice of what the tattoo actually cost.

DO NOT GET PIERCINGS HERE! DO NOT! HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH FOR…read moreTHE PIERCINGS TO CLOSE AND GET IT RE-DONE! At another place I should have believed Natalie's review. But thought, how bad can an earlobe piercing be?! The employees were all nice and quick First He put dots with pen where it will be. 1st time one ear was closer to face, he changed it and then called another girl for her opinion if it looks good. They both said yes. I specifically asked him, Shouldn't it be more further, and he said no. This is my first piercing so I didn't know anything about it, so I trusted the piercer that he would know. Also Owner wrote in Natalies review that Piercer has 20year experience lol BUT 1st-the piercings were not measured so they are different on both ears 2nd the piercing was done at an angle and its too low on the back. 3rd- Piercings should have been done higher and further from face. Next day, I Went to another location to get professional advice and piercer told me she couldn't believe any piercer would do that! She said , He has no idea what he is doing and he is unqualified to pierce at all! Now I have to heal them so the piercing closes and re- do it at another place! This piercer HAS NO IDEA HOW TO PIERCE CORRECTLY! Photos dont lie!!! Irina GO BLACK CLOUD TATTOO MATHEWS- MARY V. Does amazing job! Waited 3 weeks and she pierced it today Perfectly!

Unfortunately he couldn't finish in the first session. Scheduling the second session was the worse experience I've ever had... being given the runaround and the "I'm busy" as if I'm not a paying client. I basically had to beg him to schedule me to finish. Came to another session (I showed up to a closed shop and had to call/text him several times for him to show up because he "forgot")... couldn't finish again; still didn't want to just schedule the appt for me to return. Another round of hunting him down. Needless to say I gave up and didn't even want to return bc I'm too scared to have an even more janky tattoo that I now have to pay someone else to cover up!! I definitely feel scammed, especially considering how easy it was to schedule the first appt (down hill from there!) U got me Kendall... but Karma is not nice. Very unprofessional and I'm sure to warn others.

Had 2 ankle tats done by Jeff and also got a consultation for a back and sternum tribal (one-piece,…read morewrap around) i'm developing to get done here too. Jeff was very knowledgeable and gave good advice. I wanted to make sure he was comfortable doing tribal tattoos, seeing that all the art displayed were "traditional" "pin-up" style. Discussing my vision of traditional filipino tribal tatu, he assured me that he can do it and is actually excited to work on it with me. So what did I get done: I wanted the "Fifth Element's" Earth symbol on my right angle to be very small, he noted that the dots will bleed naturally and recommended a larger size of the overall design. I have a freckle / birthmark above that ankle and the stencil miraculously lined up with it. It was meant to be, he left out coloring the dot on the mark - which makes it more unique. Left ankle were 6-speed gears around ankle bone. Motorcycle reference. Shop: Clean, chill atmosphere, lots of traditional tattoo wall-art, awesome music. Parking on street only. There is a parking-lot, but not sure if that belongs to them too, I was always able to get a spot on the street in front of the shop. Staff: Jeff is awesome and the other staff members that were there were friendly and attentive too. You didn't feel uncomfortable. Was able to get an appointment within a week. They do welcome walk-ins!
