    Admission of fault and lack of reasonable remedy

    Horrible service! Received belly piercing 08/09. The piercer clearly did not know what she was doing as shortly after I experienced a lot of swelling and found out that the piercer incorrectly pierced me by grabbing too much skin. I asked for a partial refund and they said no. Offered to pierce again after healing which did not make sense

    Circled one is the one I got done. All of my other ones are aligned going upwards but this one is misplaced.

    Place looks cool on the inside but I was pierced incorrectly. They had a special going on for Easter and I came in with my friend to get some piercings done. When I sat on the chair the piercer cleaned my ear with alcohol and marked my ears. He had me check in the mirror to make sure they were even (lobe piercing on both sides). When I confirmed the placement he sat me back down on the chair and immediately went to pierce my right ear. He didn't wipe my ear again after I was repeatedly touching it. I noticed and was going to say something but I don't like being "that person" who tells someone how to do their job. Once he finished the first side, he went to my left side and did the same thing except this time it hurt more. He told me it was a "bleeder" and wiped it off before letting me go. They were both sore on Sunday and Monday, by Tuesday my right side was only sore when I needed to clean it but the left side was still a pulsing pain especially in the back. I took a picture of the back of my ear to really look at the piercing and I realized that my left side was pierced incorrectly. All of my other piercings go straight through but this one was going diagonally. I tried to ignore it but it was so painful that I decided to just take it out. I had my coworker take it out for me and the second she removed it, it started leaking a lot of blood. Mind you, I'm a phlebotomist so blood isn't a problem for me. I also work in a BUSY environment where I am required to use needles all day so I understand the pressure that comes with it. But just because it was busy, doesn't mean you should lower the quality of YOUR work. Those piercings were NOT sterile. Now I have to deal with the consequences and pain of a dirty needle stick. I tried calling them to inform them of my situation but no one answered my calls.

    I saw this shop while driving. I was looking for some nice colorful belly piercing rings. So, I pulled into the parking lot. I was in total awe when I walked inside this place. The decor is so beautiful. Fun with bold colorful decor. Unique and Upbeat Art Bar. Fashionable and super clean. The young lady was nice. Great Customer Service. Black Woman Owned body art bar located right off Roosevelt in Berwyn. I'm happy to see this business in the neighborhood. I will guarantee to keep coming back to support. Cool chic piercing and tattoo studio. This shop has many different services from tattoos, body piercing and a body sculpting session. I purchased a nice bronze color belly ring for a nice price.

    The best experience so quick and Mistic was very professional !!!! Def recommend!! Great Job

    My crooked ass piercing. The one on the left is the one i received from here and as you can see it is NOT matched up with my other side.

    I had gotten my bridge pierced by Alex and it was an amazing experience and I love the results!…read moreVery talented, clean, professional, and knowledgeable. She talked me through every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable with everything happening beforehand. Their front of house, Luna, was very kind and helpful when it came to jewelry selection and even offered to record for me when I requested it. I've found my new piercer, 12/10 would recommend :)

    I'm splitting this review into two experiences because they were honestly very different…read more 2021 | Nostril Piercing (5 stars) I had my nostril pierced by Jeff in 2021, and it was genuinely a great experience. I first came in for a consultation and then returned about a month later for the actual piercing. Jeff walked me through the process, explained everything, and made me feel comfortable. We chatted the entire time, which says a lot because I'm not naturally a super chatty person. The piercing healed beautifully, and I kept the original jewelry in for almost five years. May 2026 | Jewelry Change / Replacement (2 stars) Fast forward to May 2026, I bumped my nose at work and my jewelry fell out. I had already been wanting to switch out my jewelry, so I figured this was the universe giving me a reason. I booked a same-day appointment online, which was super convenient. This visit, however, felt like a completely different experience. The front desk staff member greeted me, but the interaction felt disengaged and not particularly welcoming from the start. I was explaining what happened and mentioning that I'd had my original jewelry in since 2021. While she kindly offered to place my old jewelry in a baggie, which I appreciated, the overall interaction felt very transactional rather than consultative. I specifically asked for recommendations for everyday, long-term wear jewelry because I don't plan on changing it often. I also asked about rose gold for everyday wear, hoping for a little guidance from someone who works with jewelry every day. The response I got was basically, "Why not?" It came across dismissive rather than helpful. The jewelry explanation itself felt confusing, and the interaction overall felt very blah. I'm warm and jokey by nature, so maybe I notice energy more than most, but boutique experiences, especially piercing studios, should feel a little more welcoming and consultative. I wasn't expecting over-the-top bubbly, but I was expecting someone who seemed interested in helping me choose jewelry I'd likely be wearing for years. I almost walked out, honestly. I stayed because Jeff ended up installing the new jewelry. But overall, the visit didn't feel great, and I left disappointed considering how positive my original experience had been. I still tipped, force of habit , but I walked away feeling like the service didn't match the experience I remembered from Luxe. Customer experience matters, especially in a boutique setting where people are trusting you with body jewelry and looking for guidance.

    Unbelievable work at this place. Ever since I started getting tattoos , I don't want to go anywhere…read moreelse. I had my work done by Eris and not only is he a very nice welcoming individual but his skills are truly out of this world. I brought him a tattoo design and he improved it on his computer, asked for my opinion, gave me his opinion and then placed it exactly like we agreed onto my skin. It is a true work of art. My tattoo turns head everywhere I go and I couldn't be happier.

    I can't say enough about Venture Tattoo. Anthony did a custom half-sleeve for me. It was my first…read moretattoo, but won't be my last. Anthony is an artist, plain and simple. He's an unbelievable talent who is also soft spoken and humble about his work. I know all the artists there are excellent, but if you're looking for something big, he's awesome. He worked for 6 hours on my arm. Got it done in one session, and because he is so good, pain was minimal and after care was painless (which surprised me). I waited 43 years to feel confident enough to get a tattoo. Anthony was the perfect artist for me and I can't wait to get back in there for the next one. I almost never write reviews like this but just want to make sure Anthony and Venture get their due respect from me after my experience there. Thanks. See you guys in October!
