I had a terrible experience getting my nose stud changed to a hoop at this shop. For context, the…read morepiercing is 2 years old and had been fully healed for a year. The piercer tried to remove my original jewelry without checking the gauge and mistaked my threadless stud for a screw-top. She had so much trouble removing it that she used two pliers, causing unnecessary trauma to my piercing. Then, she eyeballed the size and inserted a hoop that was clearly too small, causing my nose to bleed further. She then replaced it with a second hoop, again without confirming the proper gauge. My piercing ended up bleeding throughout the entire night. Because the piercer seemed to lack experince, I sought a second opinion who confirmed the gauge was too large and the material wasn't hypoallergenic. I returned to the shop where they refused responsibility, saying they didn't need to confirm my guage because they "know their guages" and dismissed my concerns by saying "all piercers talk sh*t." They've refused to issue a refund despite the clear mishandling. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for safe or professional piercing services.

I absolutely LOVE solid gold tattoo. Danielle has been doing my tattoos for YEARS. I refuse to let…read moreanyone else besides her, do my tattoos. Her vibe and personality is amazing, she's not heavy-handed on the needle, she takes her time and she's honestly very patient if you're needing a break or a moment to just get up and take a quick stretch. Needles are always sanitized, freshly opened. Target area is always cleaned and shaved before the session starts and Danielle always makes sure I'm super comfortable and ready before starting. Overall, everyone in the shop is very nice. Helpful and friendly but Danielle is just my personal go-too lady. I do believe the prices have increased since COVID but it is what it is. Quality over quantity. If you're ever in the Elmont area and looking for a great tattoo shop that you won't regret .. Stop by Solid Gold, they do accept walk-ins! Thank you S.G.T for years of amazing work

Her results were nothing like I had seen before. I took the plunge and booked the next available appointment (3 months out). Laura has been extremely professional and prompt in communication from booking to follow-up after the procedure. She cares about her clients, the process, and has clearly put a lot of time and energy into setting herself up as a professional 5* business. Her results deliver as promised. I am beyond ecstatic with my results and I am trusting the healing process. I have my touch-up booked and look forward to returning for years to come.

She's been through the scammy chain experience herself, which is probably why she runs this place with honesty and zero judgment. Whether it's microblading gone wrong or a tattoo you've outgrown, this is the place. It works, it's local, and you're treated like a human being. She keeps it real; removal isn't fast, so be ready to have a new laser bestie for the next year.
