The hoop had a diamond inlay…read moreconsisting of 7 diamonds. the piercer, Tasha was unable to get the hoop in and said that my piercing (which was done elsewhere) was making it difficult. after 30 minutes, the hoop was in but badly damaged. Ultimately I left without being charged and a diamond broke away from my hoop while the metal is mangled and deformed. the precautions taken to not damage the jewelry did not go far enough. Someone should have tongs with rubber teeth so as to not bite or leave indentations on precious/soft metals. she was kind and patient but ultimately my day is ruined and so is my jewelry! Update: The profile responding is not actually Vinnie to start. Vinnie (the business owner) did not see me at all the day I came in and never once spoke to me. Tasha (the one leaving the response) claims i came in on Tuesday... a blatant lie. I came in on Saturday the 30th and have posted a call log and texts from the 30th. The Jewelry was bent where the diamonds were set, as tongs were used directly over the set diamonds. My issue was Tasha seems to have little experience with fine metals and paper towel isn't going to keep 14k gold from being damaged... Truly lackluster to see Tasha reply as Vinnie, LIE about me coming in at all on Tuesday, and try to claim damage wasn't done in the studio. If at any point a professional feels they can't complete their job they should say so and stop at a reasonable point.

Rick is the MAN! He did such an amazing job! I am beyond impressed with how much he paid attention…read moreto detail and how focused he was. He was also beyond inviting of me (a new client) that my buddy James had recommended! I had to reschedule a month in advances from my original appointment (ahead of 48 hrs) and literally there was a cancellation the following weekend and he was able to fit me in! He came up with the design when I gave him my vision and I am so impressed and happy with the outcome. It took 5.5 hours but the price was way cheaper than I was expecting it to be. Also shoutout to Casey, the owner, we were laughing and having a great time while she was there and her studio is so beautiful and very home-like and open. She was working on another client and we finished around the same time his tattoo looked amazing as well! Also, the other artist Ryan, he did a half sleeve while I was there and it looked so bad@ss and he too was so kind to me and he's also very good looking Overall, the location, the price, the quality, the service, the everything is top notch at this location! I loved every second from communication, to receiving service, to just feeling relaxed and comfortable. If I could give any advice, I would recommend getting a different type of saniderm aftercare bandage wrap. Mine came off that day after sweating (dancing at the club). I came back the next day and they gave me two patches just in case it came off. The bandages I've had at other places never came off at sweating or even taking a shower.

I don't think there are enough positive words to describe my experience with Casey and Foxwood…read moreTattoo Collective! I got a large thigh piece that spanned two sessions for a total of 9 hours. Casey was so warm and welcoming through the entire process. She clearly listened during my consultation and when I showed up at the first session her artwork was way better than I could have imagined. I threw a LOT at her to incorporate and she did it beautifully! Getting the actual tattoo was such a comfortable experience both sessions. She is kind, funny, and constantly checking in with you to make sure you're ok (and numbing you when you might not be lol). It's also clear she fosters a warm and welcoming vibe in her shop and it shows with how friendly the rest of the artists are as well. I'd happily spend another 9 hours in her tattoo chair and would love to do one of her intuitive tattoos in the future!

They carry titanium earrings which was what I wanted for her. We followed the aftercare steps with his saline wash, and the piercings healed well with no infection. It definitely cost more than Claire's, but I wanted to be sure a sanitized needle was used on her, so it was worth it to me. Cons: Not exactly a kid-friendly vibe due to: language of employees, loud background music with a lot of profanity, and some intense imagery on the walls, including a topless woman with nipple piercings. It wasn't a super quick process, so there was plenty of time for us to notice everything. I would recommend that they have some time set aside for kids' ear piercings with different music and covered up images.

Obtaining a tattoo is a fun but stressful endeavor, except when done by Rockstar, then it is just…read morefun. Prior to visiting Rockstar for my current tattoo, I have had four tattoos done. My first, done by an artist in Columbia, MD, was a miserable experience. I was nervous, and the artist had no compassion to ease the decision. I basically drew the thing myself, which shocked me to discover he did no artistic rendering help. Then, when it was complete, I felt there were lines missing in the artwork, but was told to 'give it time to heal then return for a touch up', only to discover apparently you have to pay to come in to sit for a touch up. Also, after all this stress, deciding to get my next piece done elsewhere, I then realized I was wildly over charged. So, my next tattoo was done by a shop in Hanover, MD. I loved the artist, however she then moved out of state, forcing me to find a new go-to tattoo shop. My third tattoo, I got with my husband by Rockstar-we just so happened to be nearby (obtaining our marriage license) randomly called that morning, asking if it was possible to pop in to get matching word tattoos to celebrate the moment. The process was so easy & amazing. We simply wanted the word everything, from our favorite novel. She spent as long as we needed combing through fonts to ensure we were both happy with our decision. She did not mind we didn't have something already picked out, she helped us decide what would look good, last longer if stretched, and where to put it. The price was reasonable, so we settled in to get the work done... That's when we met Ted the Tattoo dog. Ted sat on our laps throughout the tattoo experience providing a calm relief. In addition to music in the background & friendly small talk, I knew this was going to be my go-to shop. So, I returned for my latest piece; a larger thigh tattoo, I knew Rockstar was the shop to get a great-reasonable and reliable price, artistic flexibility and input, and when I was ready to pull the trigger I would have a great time sitting and chatting for the hours it would take. The experience did not disappoint! A few hours with Ted, a relaxing inking experience, and a beautiful result. Not to mention, free touch-ups when needed, just call and let her know how it is settling. Plus the bonus in it all, when I told her about my horrible previous experience, she touched up my first piece-adding the lines that were forever missing!

Their shop is run by two women, something I love to support and find important. Being someone who is a clean freak, I can genuinely say that this shop is kept spotless. The times that I've gone, I am always welcomed and helped immediately with any inquiries I might have. I got my first tattoo from Beth and then my second one from Matt. Both were very knowledgeable in guiding me through the process of placement for my tattoo, as well the design of it. The piercings I got were easy and painless. No complications and heeled very nicely. Over all, my experience has been a pleasant one and I look forward to my next visit for some more ink and jewelry.
