My 14 year old daughter and I came in to get our second earlobe piercings, and we had a fantastic…read moreexperience with Caleb! This was our first time getting a piercing done professionally, rather than the usual childhood experience with piercing guns at mall stores, and Caleb was incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout the whole process. Caleb took the time to explain everything clearly, including how the piercings would be done and what to expect. He was very precise with placement, even measuring carefully to make sure everything was symmetrical and that we were both happy with how it looked before starting. After the piercings, he went over the aftercare instructions in detail and made sure we understood how to care for them properly. I was honestly more nervous than my daughter, but Caleb's calm and friendly demeanor made the entire experience feel safe, comfortable, and positive. Highly recommend Caleb and this shop, especially for first-timers, teens, or anyone who might be a little anxious. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I made an appointment with Daniel based on seeing a tiny bird tattoo on a waitress at a local…read morerestaurant. I wanted something small and was a tattoo virgin, so made an appointment. Daniel was charming, funny, a bit silly, but I liked his style. When we made the appointment, they were supposed to be no bigger than a business card, he said it was definitely doable, but I received a much, much bigger design on both wrists. Again, at 43, I knew nothing about tattoos. I was kind of shocked, trying to just stay calm and cool due to the pain of the tattooing. When finished, I was still in shock. Daniel (who up and left the owner high and dry to go to another studio in Oneonta) told me to come back when they were healed for the second free seating to blacken them in and I did come back, only he wouldn't schedule me. He said it needed more time. He told my young daughter that he didn't like to book non-paying gigs, but I paid up front for everything and of course, tipped. I have been trying to get an appointment for a year and finally gave one last ditch resort to message through Facebook with, "OK, I'm a newbie to the tattoo world, but every seasoned person I talked to said I shouldn't have to hunt down the original artist for my second seating as I already paid for it. I will go somewhere else as the black is so spotty, then review you online wherever I can for just blowing off a client. I needed other work done and will go elsewhere to work with a real professional. I'm on 5 major sites doing recommendations at a senior level and hopefully can spare some others this type of grief. It's just silly on your part because I actually have the cash for other projects and you just don't bother answering or giving me an appointment. Oh well." This was his reply: "I'm out of state. Ill get back to you when I'm back in the shop, sometime next week. Also you could call the shop at any time and schedule an appointment for a touch up. [He told me before just to message, which I did repeatedly for the first few months.] Which is the professional way to do something, not harass and threaten me on Facebook. [He told me to come in, I did, no appointment, he told me to msg, I did, no appt, I waited a month or more between asking.] Sorry for any delays. But for the record I told you I would touch them up about a year or so ago. So please don't give me Sh*t and slander my name (wich is illegal by the way its called defamation of character). So again sorry I didn't get back to you right away, since yesterday. [He himself admits to not giving me an appointment for a year, so not sure why yesterday was brought in] But you have been dragging this on for over a year and expect me to jump at the whim of your convenience and a dollar. That is not fare to me in the least bit. Now I'm going to get back to the 1100 more miles I have to drive to get back home." In the end, another studio did the final seating without charging me for it, but I learned a lesson and will do my research on an artist before allowing them to permanently mark my body.

I stopped in here wanting to have some jewelry switched out, and although the very kind man working…read morethat day informed me they do not sell body jewelry, they only have in stock piercing jewelry, if I wanted to purchase any via the internet or elsewhere, I was welcome to bring it in and he offered to swap it out for free. I'm used to tattoo/piercing places that sell an assortment of jewelry and products, living in a different area, but this impressed me. I then asked him about an elaborate tattoo design I've been pondering for a while, and he was more then willing to sit down with me and brainstorm it out. Overall I have no idea the quality of the work, (hence the 4 stars), piercing or tattoos- but I'll definitely be returning to them to find out!
