If I could give 0 stars I would. Me and my roommate came here yesterday for naval piercings by…read moreMyia, 2 hours after getting this piercing my jewelry fell out, as it was not the regular screw on jewelry but rather one that pops in and out. When we came back the next day to ask for a refund, the lady at the front desk immediately took us back to the piercing room to shove new jewelry into the area. When researching what to do the day prior, many results said to wait until the area is fully healed, and then re-pierce the area. My hole had already closed the day before, and she did not even look at the area to make sure it was safe to re-pierce or thread new jewelry inside. When asked about a refund, she replied that the "service had already been done, and the jewelry had already been inside of the piercing." No other accommodations were communicated. Please do not come here for body piercings, they are extremely quick-willed and just want to make a quick dollar. Very unprofessional. (Pasted from my Google review. Note that also NO aftercare sheet was provided and minimally communicated.)

I was seeking a clean piercing shop with a female piercer and was suggested Wilmington Tattoo and…read morePiercing. I made the trek to Wilmington from Oak Island first thing on a Friday morning. I love that they open at 10 so I can get in early and hopefully have less of a wait for a walk in piercing. I got there right after 10 and was the only one in the shop. Shop was very clean and I was impressed. Loren was working and after she was set up for my piercing I was invited into her room. Piercing was efficient and looks great. Definitely recommend!

Her communication and organization is stellar making scheduling a breeze. She is always really clear in making sure to grasp your vision while designing and her artistic expertise makes her designs stand out from the crowd.

She also has aftercare packages available to make sure your healing process goes smoothly. I have sent my mom, brother, and friends her way as well. I could go on and on and say so many great things about her and will always give my highest recommendation.

Matt is very authentic, eclectic and has an amazing personality. Throughout the 45 minute session, Matt and I conversed multiple times, mostly about our passion for all things "Horror". This is where my tattoo came in to play. I presented Matt with one dozen Horror-themed ideas approx. 2 months ago and I went with the one he was most passionate about...Ghost Face from the Scream series. This was perfect!! Our youngest son's favorite villain is Ghost Face, plus...Scream 5 just finished filming right here in Wilmington in 2020. Matt nailed this tattoo...I mean, he absolutely crushed it and I could not be any more pleased with the end result. All of Matt's lines are super clean, proportioned perfectly and it looked like a sticker afterward. My skin did not endure much, if any, trauma and bleeding was kept to a minimum. This was a flawless tattoo session and experience all around!!!! The shop was very clean, all employees were masked properly and everyone was down to Earth and friendly. Matt.......the rest of this leg is now saved for your future Horror work. THANK YOU for an amazing job!!! 5 STARS!!!
