I went to go get my belly button pierced and my ears pierced for the agreed amount of $80 on July…read more8th at Monarch Studios by a piercer named Kevin. I immediately realized that my ear was pierced wrong & a few days later I realized my belly button was pierced wrong. On July 11th, I called the piercing shop & he said he can re-pierce me for free since he acknowledged that he pierced my belly button wrong. A couple days later I came to the conclusion that I can't trust him to pierce me correctly and that I would just like my money back so I called them again twice on July 13th and they kept declining my calls. I texted them to call me and the piercer finally called me back that same day. I told him I don't want to come in and I would just like a refund so he immediately refunded me and we got off the phone. After a couple weeks I noticed that the $80 has never been refunded and I see that he has indeed cancelled the refund. We agreed that he would be refunding my $80 but he slickly cancelled the refund. He charges using PayPal or Cashapp (under personal not business) so there's no way that I can get my money back. I'm pretty sure he does this on purpose so whoever is unhappy with his services and tries to dispute the charge aren't able to get there money back. Beware.

Opened in 2016 with the idea of bringing proper service to the tattooed and pierced of Louisiana. War Machine Tattoo is here to bring you a different experience than what you're used to. A traditional street shop built on the traditions of the past. None of the bullshit that has become unbelievably common in todays shops. Apprentices that never finished their apprenticeships, opening their own shop with mommy's money. No self taught scratchers trying to look like professionals while destroying your body. No prima donna artists, too busy to give you the time of day. And none of the careless and reckless tattooers doing tattoos that won't stand the test of time because they are afraid to tell you "no" or "it shouldn't be done exactly like that". We know what will last and what won't, but that doesn't mean we only tattoo in one style or one look. We tattoo from old school ideals, leading to strong work rooted in the practices of those who have learned what it takes to make a tattoo last a lifetime. We know your best interests are also ours. We know this is forever and strive to provide you an experience not just a tattoo or piercing.
