She provided a quote and her earliest appointment. One week later, I arrived and waited in my truck until she was able to let me inside. She quickly went over my sketch and decided on the appropriate size for my forearm. All in all - I can't talk enough about how great of an experience Sandy provided. We instantly clicked on almost everything we talked about. She has a light hand so I barely felt anything. And can we talk about how cute and almost fake he looks! I can't wait to get my next tattoo!

Posting this because of what happened to a friend of mine after she was pierced at Absolute…read moreTattoos. Within three days of having her ears pierced here, she developed severe pain, heat, hardness and throbbing in her ears and ultimately had to go to urgent care and receive medication. What she told me about the actual piercing procedure is the part I find completely unacceptable. According to her, the piercer put on gloves before setting up, then proceeded to open drawers, touch cabinets, the cart, supplies and other surfaces while wearing those same gloves. She also says the piercer touched/wiped her nose and then continued handling her during the procedure. She also told me that one piercing needle was used for both ears, rather than a new single-use needle being used for each piercing. Then there was the jewelry. She was given butterfly-back earrings on fresh piercings, and the backs were so tight that there was little room for the swelling that followed. She has had numerous piercings before and knew something was seriously wrong when the ears became hot, hard and began throbbing even though she hadn't hit or disturbed them. I understand that complications and infections can occur after any piercing, and I am not going to pretend I can medically prove exactly what introduced the infection. But when someone describes questionable infection-control practices during the procedure and then ends up at urgent care three days later, that is more than enough for me to warn other people before they decide where to get pierced. What disturbed me further was looking into the shop afterward and finding that other customers have previously complained publicly about piercing complications and piercing technique at this location. So her experience does not appear to exist in a vacuum. She also made a point of telling me that the piercer herself was very nice. Frankly, that isn't the issue. Being pleasant does not compensate for poor infection-control practices when you are creating an open wound in someone's body. Based on what happened to my friend and what she personally witnessed during her appointment, I would not allow someone I care about to get pierced here. Absolute Tattoos should take a serious look at how piercing procedures, glove changes, single-use equipment and initial jewelry are being handled at this location.
