My friend and I went to True Art Tattoo for a belly button piercing, and from the moment we walked…read morein, the experience was disappointing. The piercer, a white woman with black hair, was unfriendly and came across as snarky and rude from the very beginning. Instead of taking my friend to a private area, she had her lift up her shirt in the lobby. She then had her sit on the couch, looked her up and down, shook her head, and told her she was "too fat" for a belly button piercing and that she didn't have the right anatomy. Whether or not someone is a candidate for a piercing, there is a respectful and professional way to communicate that. The way she spoke to my friend was humiliating and unnecessarily hurtful. My friend already struggles with body image, and hearing those comments from another woman left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Watching someone treat another person that way was upsetting. After leaving, we went to another piercing shop, where the piercer evaluated her professionally and completed the piercing without any issues. We were also told that the interaction we experienced at True Art Tattoo was handled in a very unprofessional manner. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend True Art Tattoo. We encountered rudeness, body shaming, and a complete lack of compassion and professionalism. No customer should leave feeling belittled over their body.

The reason im writing this is because my belly piercing that i received on the same day as my nose piercings is now out too. I don't remember the name of my piercer but she was Asian or from Asian descent with black hair. Do not go here guys they suck and do not pierce accordingly to body anatomy. I would upload photos but they are pretty ugly to look at.

The appointment was then cancelled AGAIN, the day before the appointment because they forgot they had plans that day. I decided to just cancel the entire thing and not reschedule it any more, I didn't want a shitty tattoo. If you want a flaky tattoo artist that's going to bail right before you get your tattoo come here. I'm honestly glad that it got cancelled again because just on the fact that they cancelled twice shows me that they would have given me a terrible tattoo.

I have never been tattooed by the folks here, but this is the only place in the greater Cleveland…read morearea that I would let pierce me. JR is a fantastic piercer who really knows his stuff. Before my first visit here, I checked out several body mod shops looking for someone to do an industrial; all of them recommended JR for more unusual (and more difficult) piercings. I went there and was so thrilled with how he worked and how he treated me: he took measurements, adjusted the bar to fit, even getting me water and letting me hang out in the piercing chair for as long as I needed when I got dizzy afterwards. There was no hurry, the price was entirely reasonable, and his space (as well as the jewelry) was completely clean and sterile. I haven't went anywhere else since. On a returning visit I wanted my lobes stretched a bit to accommodate some new plugs I had received. He did this free of charge even though he had to use weights (granted, he got a big tip for his generosity). This kind of treatment is certainly hard to find, especially around the suburbs here. You might have to wait a bit as he does not rush with his clients, but as I mentioned, it is so well worth it. If you are looking for an experienced piercer, please go check him out. And if you are looking into a more unusual piercing, there is no one around that does a better job - even the other piercers in the area will send you to him!

This is a wonderful Piercing Pagoda location. We went today to get my 6-month-old's ears pierced…read more We picked out earrings, I held her, and one ear was pierced at a time. The associate did a fantastic job marking my daughter's ears, then had us check the placement. She made sure that my daughter was held down by us so she was still, then did the piercings. The baby did cry, but forgot about it 30 seconds after the second ear!! We got verbal and written care instructions before leaving. The only costs were the earrings ($30-50 for 14k gold) and the cleaning solution ($3). I'd definitely recommend this location for baby ear piercing.

They're cash only, but there's an ATM if you forget. Definitely coming back here!
