I got a rib tattoo here in 2017. It was a quote written in someone's handwriting. I worked with…read moreAdri on correctly designing my tattoo. Everything seemed like it was going to be fine. The transfer was good, spacing looked nice, etc. But when I was laying on the table, something was off. I could feel the artist repeatedly going over a section they had already done. (I could feel the letters as they spelled it out and I knew they should have been finished.) All the words were complete. But the gun was still going. When I asked the artist what was going on, he cleared his throat and hesitated before saying "uhh, umm, yeah. It's done." When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that the word "PAIN" seemed bold compared to the rest of the wording. I thought maybe it was the initial swelling of the tattoo. But even after it healed, the lines word "PAIN" were thicker than the rest of the tattoo. It's been years, and I'm thankful it never blew out. But I'm still disappointed by it and I'm glad I can't see it on a daily basis because it's hidden under my bra. Most days I try to forget it's there because it's truly disappointing.

So, my dumb butt lost my cartilage piercing stud and I needed a replacement. This place caught my…read moreeye because of the flawless reviews so we decided to stop in. Mind you, I'm vacationing here with the BF so I wanted to ensure my stubborn butt cartilage piercing wouldn't close up. Since we were in downtown Carlisle, the parking was on the street but wasn't busy. Thankfully, we were there when they opened at 12. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by all the gnarly art work and the this dope guy who asked how he could help. I told him my issue and he was helping alongside the assistance of who I believe is their residential piercer, Lexi. Lexi was able to hook me up with a flat back stud that matched my second cartilage piercing. She helped put it in and we were set to go. Pricing was decent and they were super sweet. Sadly, I was only in town for a short amount of time or else I would have gotten another piercing. Overall, loved this place. Kind people, fun environment and reasonable prices!

She did a great job, was very professional, and provided a very clean and sanitary environment. The price was affordable which included a pair of surgical steel earrings.

Thank you!

He told me after I looked at it that this is what I wanted. Now I have this ugly looking blob of words on my back. My friend had gotten a tattoo also. And hers got very badly infected.
