36 minutes agoNEW If I could give this place a 0 start…read morerating, I would...I went there, unplanned, for a piercing, a dermal for my upper lip.. Matty, the so called piercer, failed to tell me that a Marilyn dermal should not be done, only that it would be difficult to do.. I guess he saw dollar signs..because not only did it take him 1 hour to do this..he also charged me $100.00 for it..me not knowing what they normally would go for, I paid him+ tip. I'll admit, I was happy with it.. Sore.. But happy.. But then.. It all went wrong...I was at another establishment and asked if they could look at my piercing, and I was shocked, pissed, and annoyed that Matty" the master piercer" not only should not have pierced a dermal on my lip but charge me $90 over their standard piercing prices... I went back to ink 99 and spoke to Matty, I showed him a picture of my lip and to be honest with you, he acted like he just did not give a shit.. anyway, I got the owners number, angelo, I've called Angelo multiple times to have a discussion regarding the procedure and the over charges, i left him multiple messages and he has refused to return my calls, which is why I am posting this review regarding his shop. Beware of this place, this place does not care about their customers, they don't care about customer satisfaction all they care about is the bottom dollar, get your money and get them out. At least that's how I feel. Anyone who asks me I will tell them to stay as far away from them as possible. It never should have taken an hour to pierce my lip and he never should have charged me over $100 to pierce my lip. They are thieves, the owner doesn't care cuz he doesn't return calls. I give this place a triple zero!!!

I called this business to find out if they did VCH (genital hood piercings) whoever answered the…read morephone said yes they did, that I could have an appointment the next day at 2pm with a female piercer, I asked the price and she clearly stated it was $60 with the jewelry included. Since this was such a great price I booked the appointment. The following day I go in to find out that my appointment hasn't been booked at all, okay no big deal, when asked what piercing I was getting I discreetly told the woman at the desk (seeing as there were other people all around) and she spoke rather loudly about it, then went to tell the male piercer that I would be next, I explained that I was supposed to be with the female; next the female piercer comes out and asks me what piercing so I once again discreetly tell her a hood piercing- to which she says something about piercing my Fupa area- two completely different areas by the way- so now I'm slightly concerned, but, just reexplain. She says she will be ready for me shortly, now I'm putting my information in the system and the woman checking me in asks what I was quoted, I tell her $60 she says that's completely wrong and that she will check with the piercer how much it is. The piercer comes bombing out from the back room speaking VERY loudly about genital piercing, I think she said genital 3 times as loudly as possible before I had a chance to ask her to lower her voice. Now the piercing is $200 which is $80 over every other place I had called. I explained that I was fine with it, money wasn't an issue, but that they should certainly find out who answered the phone considering now we have found many mistakes, (no booked appointment, wrong quote) they tell me anyone who is there answers the phone so they would have no idea who it was and weren't very concerned with it. Okay fine?... now I'm waiting over 20 mins and the male piercer comes out and asks if he can help a couple guys who walked in the door- whatever they said to him I'm not sure but he responded with an attitude and "well i don't know i just walked out here." Then approaches me and asks if I've been helped- I tell him yes. Now he asks me with what, I tell him I'm all set and that I'm waiting for the female piercer, to which he responds "ohhhh, you're the VCH huh." I waited a little while longer, pretty shell shocked and uncomfortable with their customer service, or lack thereof, and finally made the decision to leave since I really didn't feel like getting my vagina pierced by someone with a clear attitude. I'm far from a prude but I definitely think this could all have been handled so much more professionally.

I told him my vision of plum blossoms starting on my lower belly blooming up to my hip. He listened to my ideas and was able to create it perfectly! In fact, it turned out more beautiful than I thought it would be. He is a professional, and the environment he works in is clean. He doesn't have a heavy hand, thank goodness; and he wasn't at all bothered when I needed to hum or sing through the pain. I will definitely be going back to him for my future tattoo needs and absolutely recommend him to anyone; whether they live in Florida or Indiana. Thank you so much Matthew Birkla! You are awesome!

I went to this establishment today 4/30/2024 to get the $20 tattoo deal with 3 of my friends. When…read morewe first walked in, the receptionist with jet black hair, drawn on eyebrows, hispanic but she was white passing didn't greet us and just told us to fill out the forms outside. My first friend went to get her consultation with Seth, and he was very kind, making jokes with us and his work was done very well. My other friend and I were gonna get matching tattoos (very similar tattoos) and while she was consulting with Seth, the receptionist put me with another tattoo artist but she was the one consulting me, not the tattoo artist. I was showing the art that I wanted to the artist, but the receptionist took over the conversation and told me it would be $70 for the tattoo i wanted (see attached). She, the receptionist, said each star was $20 and shading was $10. The placement was supposed to be on the upper right part of my wrist, which is very small and I explained that each star would be really small but she still said each star is $20. Seth charged my friend with the matching tattoo $30 and her placement was on the back of your ear while mine was on my arm. Seth charged my friend an extra $10 because the placement wasn't included in the deal, though if she got her tattoo on her arm he would have done it for $20. After hearing this, my friend who was wanting to get our matching tattoo came over so we could consult with Seth to see how much he would charge, but the receptionist interrupted and told Seth that we can't change the $70 price. My friend said "we aren't trying to change the price, we're just confused about the consultation" and the RECEPTIONIST said "i already explained the prices to her (me)" with an attitude. We were the only people of color/ only dark skin people in there so it seemed like she was calling us cheap and insinuating that we didn't wanna pay her "fair" price even though HER pricing was definitely inflated. This whole situation was really suspicious and it just seems like she is messing around with the other tattoo artist I was consulting with or she has some familial relationship with him and that's why she was trying to charge me such a high price when my friend with the same tattoo got charged less than half of my consultation. The receptionist and my tattoo artist were also speaking to each other in spanish the whole time so it could be construed that they were talking about charging me a higher price for such a simple design. After we left we decided to call so we could get her name to leave a review, but when we asked for her name she ignored the question multiple times and when we asked her name a final time she said "i don't have a name." We were all shocked at this response because a receptionist should not be acting this way so we hung up. She then called back telling us her name is "Naomi." We are not completely sure if the receptionists real name is Naomi or if she lying. I just want to clarify Seth was a great tattoo artist to my friends and I wish he could have done mine. If Seth is employed somewhere else I will definitely be seeing him, but I will not go to ink wolves again. If you plan on going, be prepared to be given attitude from the receptionist.
