Based solely on phone call earlier, they charge á la carte for piercings, even if I bought new…read morejewelry, they charge to put it in if I needed. So, I imagine a new piercing that will need downsized in 6 weeks would also be charged. They did this at the former shop I went to and was grossly overcharged, so this is a solid no. I get it's a business, but gouging is not okay. Found my forever piercer today at a different shop and that's a huge win. This is a real review, not paid and not from competition. I read previous comments from owner. SMH. EDIT: perhaps you should read. I said "gouging" and never was I offered $5, only $10 for each time something was done. Even if I bought jewelry from you or got pierced, I was told each and every time it's a charge. That's gouging and poor customer service. It's also in poor taste to blast a customer. Had I read the comments prior to calling, I'd had known to not bother as I wouldn't do business with you. The last piercer did just as you do: charge for everything. All told, I spent $50 with downsizing several piercings and had bought new pieces as well. Plus, she improperly angled my helix. Never again with her nor your business. I DID find a great person with SUPERIOR customer service that did what I needed, I ended up buying 2 new pieces and tipped well. That place will 100% get my business. I was in salon business for 27yrs and did the little things that paid huge dividends. Yes, I gave some service complimentary. Word of mouth is king in service industry. Yours leaves a sour taste in one's mouth. Sassiness is rude. 10 fold back to you for every single person you've done this to. Good luck.

Had bad juju from previous place that did this and was grossly overcharged. One and done. Went elsewhere and found my forever piercer, so a win overall. EDIT: responding to owner's comment, at no time was I told what you have said. Your employee said "$10 for every time they change jewelry or anything else; jewelry separate." When I asked her if they charge when downsizing from a piece purchased from you, was informed, "yes, every time something is done, a charge of $10, plus tax." I'd suggest you coach your team and perhaps stop spending so much time deflecting & challenging ppl's comments. Had I read before calling, I'd had known I would NOT want to do business with you. Yes, I am real. Not paid, nor a competitor as I've stated previously. No, not ever coming in. Shame on you. Perhaps review what customer service is truly about and spend time doing this, coaching yourself and your team.

I'm actually surprised I'm the first to review this great place. Very clean first off and…read moreincredibly friendly. Before I even sat down to schedule and talk about what I wanted...I saw a mother and daughter getting same tattoos together. So rest assured this place will do high volume and also a 10 minute wrist tattoo. So to my story. Chuck Uhler is the owner and happened to help me on my tattoo journey. That was 5 tattoos ago. I ran ideals buy Chuck as far as military and what would place and color. For once, instead of someone just taking my money and doing it...he advised against a certain design due to size and color. That being said...I am so incredibly happy with my end result and absolutely recommend this artist shop to angone

"Don't be sad go get a tattoo"…read more This place is absolutely amazing, I stopped in on Wednesday to set up an appointment for Thursday. The front desk staff was so sweet and easily helped me get in on my one off day. I was placed with the super talented Brian Anthony for my tattoo. I went in to get writing on my thighs in Old English font. I showed him my reference photo and within a few minutes he came back with the perfect font, and we were off. He took his time and carefully made sure the writing was even since the writing is split over both of my legs. After a couple of reajuste he sat me down and started. Brian was so nice and he worked super quickly, he made me feel very comfortable and we shared several laughs throughout the process which is always a plus. This was a breakup tattoo for myself and I couldn't be happier with it. I talked with him about my other leg tattoos, because I know I'll be in such good hands and the product will be amazing. If you're thinking of going here please do, every staff member I met with was so sweet and you can tell they all love their jobs. It's such a comfortable place that I easily recommend!

I've been going to Black Metal for my tattoos and piercings since 2010, immediate walk-ins or…read moreappointments scheduled months out. Other shops in Cleveland might be more popular, but Black Metal is the BEST. I feel blessed to have this talent in our area, especially piercer Chris and artist Chad. (My arm by Chad is the Maleficent half-sleeve in the photos from 2014!) The shop is pristine & the guys here are goofy professionals playing loud music who care about making art on your body. You'll receive instructions on how the procedures will go and how to best care for your work when it's finished. I've gotten work done elsewhere on the West Side of Cleveland that healed like garbage -- that will never be the case at Black Metal. A serious gem about a mile West of South Park.

Im quite a germaphobe and can always catch ways of cross contamination but there was nothing she did which de-sterilized her equipment or gloves.
