I'd like to start off with, I as a customer do not need to talk to a manager/owner to manage my…read moreexperience at their place of business. Especially if those experiences are integrated into their piercing practices as a whole. I as everybody else have the right to my opinion and what happened to us in their place of business. Here's a couple red flags I've noticed throughout the appointment. 1. They did not check the form for allergies nor did the front desk person tell the body piercer about the allergies that my friend who got pierced expressed to them about Latex. Mistakes happen but can be something that depending on the persons severity to the allergy could harm somebody. 2. They use the same marker on multiple clients, they claim to "sterilize" it by soaking it in a chemical but the marker touching multiple people on their skin is unsanitary even if they do alcohol the persons body before placing the mark. 3. The piercer had an open energy drink in their room, non water drinks in a "sterile" environment are unsanitary. 4. When they reset up the tray after laying latex gloves on it, they chemically treated the tray again however didn't wear gloves when laying down the cover for the tray and other items. 5. The piercer after piercing my friends lip ran the used needle back through the fresh hole to transfer the jewelry rather than use a taper, this is painful to the person getting pierced and also dangerous to the piercer if somehow they accidentally get poked with it. Once a needle is used it should not be put back in through the persons body, it's just pure gross. When asked if it was possible for them to use a taper they simply stated that they were not trained that way. 6. They do not use saline solution/clean your piercing after piercing you, they will apply dry cotton swabs and dry paper to your piercing to stop the bleeding. It's unnerving that they do not provide this kind of aftercare, not only is a fresh piercing in need of some kind of moisture but rubbing a dry cotton on it is super irritating. They will tell you to use antibacterial soap on the outside and give you some salt in a cup to make your own saline at the end of the appointment. I'd like to share that this studio has some things about it that make it charming, the overall ambiance is old school tattoo parlor with beautiful pin ups everywhere. Knowing the price point of the this studio with their jewelry included "surgical steel", you genuinely get what you pay for which is as the consumer I can take full responsibility for. Everybody has the right to perform SAFE and ETHICAL body art, at this studio it's very straight to the point. They were upfront about the pricing and the jewelry they used when asked. Customer service isn't a priority here, I could tell that the person in the front didn't have her heart in the practice of body art or the customers safety in mind. The piercer was kind and reassuring, I could tell she was a little annoyed when I asked lots of questions and asked for alternative methods. After asking about the marker they were quick to give me an answer as to why it's "okay" rather than offer a different solution when they would tell we were second guessing the experience. This made us feel like this business wasn't open to feedback nor willing to "hear it". It's hard to see the business owner be unkind to people who have had negative experiences in their business, if this is type of business you run should be accepting of this feedback and tell people straight up "you get what you paid for" rather than ask they speak with you first before leaving a bad review. I'm sorry that our experience was so poor, hopefully in the future this studio can improve and make the changes to keep their customers safe.

Back in July, 2023, I went to My Religion Tattoo to have a "book" and the word "READ" tattooed on…read morethe back of my left hand, plus the word "PLAY" tattooed above the "musical note" I already had on the back of my right hand. The tattooist was Marcus. Everything looked fine when they were finished (Photos 1 & 2), and a month or so later I returned for a touch up on both words, as the lettering had begun to spread and lose definition. The book and note were fine. Shortly thereafter, though, I noticed some swelling on both words and went back to My Religion, where--as far as I can remember--I was told that some swelling was to be expected and to just wait. Flash forward several more months (I'm guessing December, 2023) and the "swelling" had become so prominent (Photos 3 & 4) that it interfered with a photoshoot I was involved with (Even makeup couldn't disguise it--it looked like embossed stationery!) And, as far as I can tell, it continues to get worse. So, later that month I returned again to My Religion and was told that what I was experiencing was probably due to an allergy to the red ink--of which I most certainly was not informed initially--and that nothing, really could be done about it. The "possibility" of laser surgery correcting it was mentioned. And, that was it. I asked my dermatologist about this and they said nothing could be done. I'm especially concerned that the words will eventually become unreadable! So, I have two complaints: One, Marcus should have mentioned that *some* people were allergic to the mercury in red ink, and I certainly would have considered a different color; and, two, some sympathy from the person I spoke in December with would have gone a long way toward mollifying me.

I reached out early july asking for a tattoo and had to wait days for a response. After I got a response we agreed on a date and a price and that day I sent $100 for a deposit. The day I was supposed to get the tattoo I was on my way to the shop and less than 30 minutes before my appointment he reached out and cancelled on me. I was upset but didn't make a big deal of it because I also understand people make mistakes and have their own lives. I said it was ok but I I told him I would just like a refund of the $100 I sent and he told me they don't do refunds but he can honor my deposit for another day after about a couple weeks of waiting for him to reply we finally agreed on a new date. I show up at the time he tells me to be there and he's not there yet at that point I just didn't want this guy to tattoo me. very inconsiderate of peoples time and money so definitely would not choose this guy For a tattoo I'm now out $100 and still don't have the tattoo I wanted.

But, my son offered and of course, I'm gonna get tatted. How hard can a simple bumblebee? Beautiful atmosphere but that's about it. I requested a bumblebee on my neck, right behind my ear. Risky spot but I was feeling bold! Again, how friggin hard is a bumblebee for a seasoned artist? LMAO!! Actually, LMAFO because this "bumblebee " looks like it has been ran over or hit my windshield! This jackass charged my son a 150.00 for this! Needless to say, I paid my son back! Since I'm not exactly sure who the asshole was that tattooed me (mistake 2). I'll be fair.... He is the person at the very first chair on the right side of the shop. It looked as if the other artists were actually putting out quality work and like a dummy, I just went with that adrenaline that you get to get a new tattoo! . I would actually stay clear of the "artist" in chair 1 on the right! LOL! You're gonna get something like this.... No doubt. My children in preschool drew better and colored their shit better than this "artist" (I mean artist in a very sarcastic way). If you choose to do a walk in, anywhere actually, be prepared for this type of outcome. Good and talented artists won't do walk-ins. They take pride in their abilities and want people to recognize great work. A great tattoo artist would NEVER EVER stamp their name to a horror like the one I'm posting! Do your homework, be patient, a good tattoo takes time. I definitely appreciate those that have put ink on me over the last 30 years! Some better than others, but NONE like this crap! I'm still kinda of laughing because, shame on me! I have to rate something but it's a hesitant "1".
