I got my first tattoo here! I was visiting my friend in NC and we wanted to get tattoos together so…read morewe booked an appointment and our artist was Mike. Overall the appointment process was pretty simple. You can message on instagram/facebook and they were very responsive. When we arrived we just signed our waiver and provided our photo ID's. The actual place is very clean which I appreciated. Mike was such a friendly guy. It's funny because I came all the way down to NC to get a tattoo and I'm from NJ/NYC. Mike is from NYC and moved down to NC recently, I thought that was a funny coincidence. He always let us know what he was going to do before he did it and was very informative. He let us know the aftercare process and what to expect. That being said, we are almost a month out and my tattoo has healed beautifully! If I'm ever back in NC and looking to get a tattoo, I will book it with Mike.

Shea did my piercings and was great. He walked me through everything and before I knew it I was finished. This shop has a nice variety of jewelry to choose from. They also are committed to a clean environment and excellent sterile procedures. Aftercare was fully explained with a needed follow up visit to downsize the post. I don't think I've gotten my last piercing from Shea.

So, the piercer screwed up my daughter's piercings. Didn't use the correct LENGTH bars for her…read moresnake bites to start with. THEN when we called, the piercer is out of town (mind you, she said if something happens come back Tuesday, during the piercing process) so she's not available. The lady that answered gave attitude instead of trying to handle this situation professionally. DO NOT GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS! The young lady is new at it, and I get mistakes happen, it my daughter has 1 out of 2 that cost $120! The swelling on the SMALLEST bars, stripped the threads and her post fell out. UNACCEPTABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. As I see it, they owe my daughter a redo in 2 months, this was her sweet 16 present and it's ruined. OR a refund for the avoidable mess they caused and now won't fix. UPDATE: Took her to a better piercer with more experience. Found out her one surviving piercing is crooked as hell (45 degree angle) and looks like it was a total loss on the whole experience. Turns out they use cheap jewelry from Amazon as well! This entire experience has sucked, which is sad because the young lady was super nice and patient with my daughter. She needs more training obviously. We need a refund, both piercings had to be removed to heal properly. $120 for neither piercing to have worked out. My wife will be in touch about the refund
