The person I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. The shop is really clean and very welcoming. Everyone we encountered seemed to genuinely be happy to be working there. We filled out some paperwork and then waited for our turn! I didn't go into the room with her, but my partner did and he said that Michelle was really great. She took the time to make sure the teen was comfortable and understood what was going to happen - she also went over aftercare thoroughly and made sure we were set up for success. The jewelry was all good quality, and the prices were quite reasonable. The septum piercing, jewelry and aftercare solution came in under $150.00. I will absolutely head to Red Loon for future piercings!

We got lucky and they had enough space to squeeze us in and we got to sit down with Darian. It was a great experience, Darian did an amazing job and made the whole experience awesome. The shop is nice and clean and has some awesome art work and even the wallpaper is neat. Great experience and a great matching tattoo to share a memory with my favorite person!

They acted like they're the only tattoo place in the city (not even sure why I booked there!). The artist who did my tattoo was considerably nicer. It's a shame she has to work for the arrogant, self-glorifying couple who runs the place. I'd rather have root canal work than ever do business there again.

Okay if you are looking for a nice, clean place to get any body piercings or tattoos done then the…read moreEye of the Lotus is the place to go. I was there once before with a friend who wanted to get his eyebrow pierced and they took really good care of him. I decided to get a couple of body piercings and it was pretty close to closing but they were nice enough to take me in. I got two piercings, since it was get one and get the second one half off. The guy did a great job making me feel relaxed and not scared about getting poked. He placed some markers and if I didn't like the position of where the piercing would go he remarked me. The whole process wasn't too long and while I was getting pocked he kept asking me if I was doing okay. He kept reassuring me I was going really well for never getting a part of my body pierced, except my ears. I felt super strong and brave! The guy was pretty nice and very friendly. That was the reason why I decided to go to The Eye of the Lotus in the first place. When my friend got his eyebrow done the guy who was doing his piercings was just so nice and funny; he totally took my friend's mind off of what was going on. They informed my friend and me (when I got my piercings done) how to clean our piercings. Like I said the joint was really clean and the staff was really nice and very professional. They made sure they did things the right way and they way you wanted.

I really loved getting pierced by him, I was a bit nervous about this one and he calmed my nerves and really made it an easy experience! He was also very quick with the piercing and me and my friend were both surprised when the jewelry was in my face so quickly. I will definitely come back to see Troy again if I get another piercing. Highly recommend!

My previous piercing last year went smoothly, and I was very happy with the service. This review is…read morespecifically about my recent interaction with the owner. I arrived at 1:36 for my 1:30 appointment after calling ahead and being told that arriving at 1:35 would be acceptable. The website also states that clients may be up to 10 minutes late. Despite this, I was denied service and informed that my deposit would be forfeited. When I tried to clarify the discrepancy between what I was told on the phone, what is written on the website, and what was happening in practice, the owner responded by raising his voice, calling me names, and repeatedly telling me to leave in front of staff and other clients. The interaction felt extremely disrespectful and unexpected from a business owner. My intention in sharing this is to describe my personal experience so others--especially those looking for a safe, respectful environment--are aware. I hope this feedback helps improve communication and customer care going forward

Her work is awesome, and she seems to get it right the first time every time. The studio itself is clean and open - You can see the artists at work from anywhere in the shop. They clearly keep it up to shop standards. One fear many people have with tattoo shops is that they aren't clean, things don't seem sterilized, etc., but this isn't the case with Shades of Grey. What's cool about this shop is it has more than just tattoos and piercings - There is also a giant collection of comic books and collectible toys to browse and purchase. I can't say I've ever been to a shop like this, so it's pretty cool! I will definitely be returning to Shades of Grey very soon!

I sent him a few photos of what I had in mind and it's like he crawled into my brain! I could not be happier! While it took longer than anticipated, it was well worth the wait! What I love most about Urge 2 is how it's like a big, loving, dysfunctional family! Just like my own! Every single artist here is different in their style, and they are not afraid to send you to a different artist if what you're looking for is not their style and more someone else's! They also offer tattoo removal if you're looking to have that old one zapped away to make room for something new and fabulous! I've heard it's quite painful! Now, this isn't your back alley shop, so know what you want and have the appropriate budget in mind! Tattoos are expensive and really a piece of art displayed on your body! I recommend any of Urges artists!
