The studio itself is so cute, super clean & has such a warm feminine welcoming vibe. Everyone was beyond sweet and made me feel really comfortable. Salem did my back dermals & they ended up being more difficult than expected (superrr painful) but she was extremely patient & handled everything with so much care & compassion. I've been having a rough few months mentally & I got these to cheer myself up so it meant a lot :) You can tell they truly care about their clients and creating a safe environment. I would definitely recommend to anyone. I wish they allowed videos bc Id love to promote!!! people need to know about this gem of a place

W ent two months ago to get a jewelry change done. Pretty sure they put the wrong size in since it…read morestill hurts. Messaged them about coming in and was told to come in. Let them know I'd be coming after work (literally told them I get off at 7:15 in Elgin) she said sounds good. Yesterday I get there at 7:45 and they were gone! No one was there. Called and sent them a fb message. Not once did anyone mention they stop taking walk in at 7:30pm. I drove 25 min each way. Gas is around $5 a gallon. Their response was even crazier. Blaming being short staffed on Sunday but that was irrelevant. Then also told me I have to pay for new jewelry even if it is their fault on sizing. I wanted to love them so bad. The shop is so cute and the girls are sweet. But the lack of communication is ridiculous. Especially since I messaged them before 7:30pm yesterday to say I'm coming!

She made me feel so comfortable during the entire process and I'm so happy with how my new piercings turned out! Thank you Lisa & Ink 180!

I went in less than a week ago to get my flat pierced (another form of helix piercing). I never…read morewrite reviews but I saw two others like my experience and wanted to share. The piercing was fine for the first 48 hours, but after, it started to throb tremendously. I have 14 other piercings including a conch, and have never experienced this pain. It got so bad I had to go to another tattoo shop to have it looked at. Turns out the jewelry was not medical grade and the post was so short, the swelling had caused the infection to form in the newly pierced skin. I ended up having to go to urgent care to get on antibiotics for the infection as my lymph nodes in my neck were swollen. I am extremely unhappy as I have heard so many great things about this shop. Plastic isn't for new piercings.

He helps you to feel at ease. Yesterday I got pierced for the 2nd time by him. The first time was to repierce my belly button after a tummy tuck. When I first went to have it done he educated me on how it was too soon to do it and my body would probably reject it. He advised me to come back in a few months and see if it could be done then. I did just that and he pierced it beautifully. No rejection. Yesterday I had him add a piercing to each ear. He patiently listened while I thought over and over about exactly where I wanted them. (Move it a little this way, move it a little that way) It is possible that I went with the original location that he chose. They look great.

At one point he even had the nerve to WALK to the speedway which is a half mile at least down the road. Said he would do a free touch up but when I came back to get it touched up he got all whiny and then said he would only do the touch up while doing a new tattoo and even says he doesn't really like the design I showed for the new tattoo. So unhappy with the service I've gone and had the tattoo re done elsewhere because every time I looked at it I would get irritated and the memory of Dan Coralto effing me over.
