    Though there is also piercing at Pygmalion's, I've only worked with tattoo artist Jeremy McIntosh…read more I'm very loyal to Jeremy McIntosh's work. I've had about sixty hours of work done at Pygmalion's Tattoo by Jeremy over the years. Though he's very adept in a variety of artistic styles, I am particularly fond of his tattoos that are in a vintage comicbook style, which draws from his vast body of superhero knowledge and media resources. Most of the ink he's laid into me is in this style, and it draws admiring looks and compliments all the time. I am nowhere near good at drawing, and there have been several occasions when I've come into the shop with a very badly-rendered idea and Jeremy takes it away for an hour and comes back with something gorgeous that he's drawn up. Jeremy will always tell me the truth about how to get the best results, regarding size, placement, colors, and composition of whatever tattoo idea I've conceived of. He's saved me a lot of unfortunate ideas over the years! The shop is immaculate, with a lot of fun things to look at, and there's always good music playing and a comfortable waiting area. Another plus is that Jeremy is very thorough with his aftercare instructions. The shop is up a flight of stairs, directly over the best pizza place in Greenfield. Jeremy is a talented tattoo artist and is very pleasant to work with. You do not have to be like Chuck Norris and eat pain for breakfast; Jeremy understands that the tattooing process is a labor of love for both the artist and recipient. He takes his time, and he is a perfectionist, which are two qualities I appreciate regarding something that I will wear embedded in my flesh for life. Jeremy specializes in custom tattooing, and he also does the most amazing cover-ups. Jeremy can make sure that nobody else will have the same tattoo as the one he gives you, and he will also make sure that your tattoo rocks.

    Jeremy is amazing! He listened to what I wanted, collaborated with me to come up with a design, and…read morewas thoroughly professional. I had a great experience! Highly recommended!

    I wanted to get a double helix done, but since this is my first time getting a piercing that's on…read morethe upper part of the ear, I was very nervous about finding a piercer. I've heard so many horror stories of people getting their cartilage pierced, so I was very particular in where I went. Safe to say, I am so so so glad I came to Stay True. When I come in, everyone is so welcoming. They were very kind and professional throughout the whole process. And there were so many piercing choices omg. I found one that perfectly fit my vision. My piercer was so incredibly knowledgeable of what he was doing that all of my anxiety went away. He also addressed my questions with a lot of care. I'm so incredibly happy my new piercings!! My new favorite place to talk about.

    I really wanted to love this place based on its reputation, but unfortunately my experience has…read morebeen disappointing from start to finish. On April 10th, I spent $785.08 on three piercings: my second lobes and a conch. Before the appointment, I showed inspiration photos and explained my vision to the person at the front, including that my long-term goal was a double conch. However, there was clearly a breakdown in communication between the front desk and the piercer. It was not until after the conch had already been pierced that I was told double conches are normally planned and pierced together. Had that been explained beforehand, I would have made a different decision. I was also unhappy with the placement of my second lobe piercings. I was wearing larger diamond studs that day, so the spacing looked fine in the mirror. Once I got home and wore hoops, I realized the second holes were placed much farther away than I wanted. The photos also show an old, partially closed hole near that area, which makes me wonder whether the piercer may have thought I already had a second lobe and placed the new one more like a third. I cannot know that for certain, but because I explained everything and showed my photos to the front desk rather than directly to the piercer, it adds to my concern that the information was never properly communicated. For the amount I paid, I expected a much more thorough consultation, better communication, and more education about placement, jewelry, and aftercare. On June 8th, I returned because I had an MRI and needed my conch jewelry replaced with a retainer. I also told the front desk that I needed my lobe jewelry downsized. Once again, that information was not passed along. After the piercer finished changing the conch jewelry and began packing up, I had to remind him about the lobes. He sighed and said he had not been told. The appointment again felt rushed. I had to ask how the retainer worked, how to put my original jewelry back in, and whether it was threaded or threadless. I was not told what material the retainer was made from, how long it should stay in, whether it was appropriate to leave in a healing piercing, or what warning signs to watch for. Because no instructions were given, I assumed it was fine to leave it in. When I later went to clean the piercing, I realized the skin had grown over the O-ring and it had become embedded in the back of my ear. When I pushed the jewelry slightly, the area began bleeding heavily. My husband had to use a flashlight while I pushed the jewelry forward hard enough for the embedded O-ring to come back through the skin. We then removed the O-ring and took the retainer out completely. I have included photos showing the retainer immediately after it was placed, the skin covering the O-ring, the bleeding, the retainer after removal, and the condition of my ear after I had to force it out. I cannot say whether the retainer was meant to be left in long-term because that was never explained to me. That is exactly the problem. I should not have had to guess how to manage a healing cartilage piercing after paying a professional studio to change the jewelry. After spending nearly $900 between the original piercings, jewelry, downsizing, and the retainer, I expected professional guidance and confidence that my piercings were being handled correctly. Instead, the retainer became embedded, I had no choice but to remove the conch completely, and I now have to let the area heal before it can be repierced. I lost the piercing and the hundreds of dollars I spent on it. After everything that happened, I felt I had no choice but to write this review.
