Got two helix piercings on the same ear done by Chuck here at Sanctum. I originally called on a…read moreSunday to see if I could walk in, but just like the website says, they are busiest on weekends so appointments are recommended if you want to go in on a Saturday or Sunday. I made an appointment for Wednesday instead since that was the next time I was free. The guy who greeted me was very friendly. I let him know that I was interested in two helix piercings and he showed me the studs/rings that people typically get. I knew that I wanted rings (though beware: getting piercing with rings might make the healing process more annoying because the piercing can be irritated more easily) so I picked the surgical steel rings. (I don't remember if they were implant grade now though. I didn't react to the material anyway. For people looking to get pierced, you should double check that.) Chuck was both professional and very helpful. When he was marking the placement on my ears, he gave me a few choices and even suggested one combo over another. I was thankful for it because I have super tiny ears and I didn't want it to look too crowded. Nearly 5 months later, my piercings are perfectly fine. There was some irritation along the way (totally my fault, I'm fidgety...) and a little bump formed but I continued to do the suggested sea salt soaks and my piercings have healed beautifully. As for jewelry selections, I didn't take much time to browse, but it seemed like they had a good variety to choose from. Especially a great place for Rutgers students to get pierced since it's a brief walk from CAC to Easton Ave. I have a friend who's gone here twice -- once for a nose piercing and another for her own helix. Definitely recommend this place!

My hoop was a thin dainty 22 gauge and I wanted to keep it or something similar. I called several places but no one had anything that size. I walk into Forever Ink, entrance was in the back was immediately greeted and spoke to Malakai. He was so nice and took the time to explain everything to me. Malakai tried to taper the piercing so he wouldn't have to re-pierce it but it turns out a nostril piercing can close very quickly. Well, that went downhill faster than a fat kid on a snow tube. Bummer. Malakai was the best! He was very kind and took the time to explain everything. I appreciate his direct no non-sense approach. Piercings are wounds and wound care is not something to play around with. I for one want someone who is knowledgeable and takes the time to make me feel comfortable. I don't understand the bad reviews, I suppose he might come across a little rough around the edges, but it's obvious he is very caring and wants the customer to leave happy. Everything was sterile and clean. Everyone there was so nice and the shop just had a good vibe. Cash only but there is an ATM on site. Piercing was quick and price was very fair. I would definitely come here again for more piercings or if I ever decide to not chicken out on a Tatt. Highly recommend. If you found this review helpful, please show some love!

It…read morestarted with the phone call, where she was already asking detailed, thoughtful questions to prep for my visit. That same care carried through the entire appointment -- she explained every step before and after the piercing, and every answer she gave was genuinely knowledgeable and backed by real, scientifically sound reasoning (not just the usual talking points). She's also incredibly professional and patient, and you can tell she really cares about the people she's working on, not just getting through the appointment. And honestly, she has such a great personality and vibe that the whole thing was actually fun, on top of feeling safe and well taken care of. It's rare to find a piercer this meticulous, this good at communicating, and this easy to be around. Honestly the best piercing experience I've had, hands down. I've already sent all my friends her way, and I'll be back for more. If you're looking for a piercer who actually knows their craft and genuinely cares, go see Christy.

She had me lay on a rickety fold out table that I was afraid would collapse any minute with me on it. I have knee issues so that position was very uncomfortable. Ended up putting my leg up on a chair so she could finish. The tattoo itself was a mess. I actually just recently started the process of covering it with a different artist in Colorado. It was supposed to be derived from a beautiful flash piece they had out (a snake with some flowers). Despite the printers/scanners for the convention being close to their booth, Sara decided to freehand the design because I asked whether we could do it a bit bigger so it would look better in the area. When I expressed my concern, having never had a freehanded tattoo done, I was assured that "Sara is the best freehander we have" (said to me by another artist at the booth). Should have trusted my gut. The finished freehand was a lot bigger than I had imagined or described, but I had already been there about an hour already and the size wasn't terrible, so I gave the go ahead. I noticed that the design wasn't exact with the flash, especially concerning the coils of the snake (snake positioned behind/between the flowers) which did not seem to flow from behind the design and connect in a cohesive manner. I was again assured that she would fix that during the session and it would look just like the flash. Well, everyone was wrong. The coils do not match up which is a HUGE issue for me, the flowers and other "greenery" look wonky, none of the proportions were correct, etc. This wasn't even a full tattoo, just an outline. I had even said I liked and wanted delicate lines (like was shown in the flash) and she did the whole thing in thick, black strokes. I was so tired from the hours spent being tattooed plus insanely upset about being LIED TO and now I was out $400! FOR AN OUTLINE. PLUS TIP. I didn't know what to do so I just said thank and left as there was nothing they really could have done at the time to fix it. I have called multiple times and been told EVERY TIME that someone would get back to me. They NEVER got back to me, I had to keep following up. I was promised e-mails and calls that did not come. Refused any kind of refund. Offered to have me travel to their shop so they could "look at it and see what they could do." I lived in Virginia at the time and soon after moved to Colorado so that wasn't very feasible either. Moral of the story I guess is be VERY careful about who you let tattoo you and how, especially at conventions! I no longer let anyone freehand on me except for one or two TRUSTED individuals. The tattoo I received from Sara at Jersey Ink was structurally a mess, aesthetically awful, and OUTRAGEOUSLY overpriced! It will take even more money, time, and pain to look alright and I don't know if I'll ever get the coils to line up correctly. It's sad because the flash was absolutely beautiful and I would have been proud to have that on my body. If this is an example of the work Jersey Ink provides, then my recommendation is a resounding DON'T.
