My sister and I went in for piercings. I've had a couple done here before, it's conveniently close…read moreto me and was open on this holiday so that is the only reason we went back. While there I started to think about a possible tattoo and brought it up. She told me it would take an hour to draw it up and I was willing to wait. After an hour, THEN she began to draw. Sat there for 3 hours as she was drawing and noticed her nodding out. I told my sister to watch as I was unsure if maybe she was just getting very close to the iPad. Nope, my sister watched drool come out of her mouth! Unfortunately I didn't have the guts to say anything but I knew I would not allow her to tattoo me after this. After the 3 1/2 hours of drawing (that she said would only be 1) she assured me that she could do it tonight (it's already past midnight that this point). I told her I would be back and never returned. I've seen a review somewhere else that she was nodding out since then, so this isn't new. If you're tired JUST SAY THAT! The fact that she was reassuring me she could do it that night after nodding out multiple times is ridiculous. Not to mention she was asking my sister about any tattoos she may have wanted and responding to each idea by telling her she didn't like it or pushing a completely different idea and telling me all my other piercings were "off" and how she would have done them .00001 of an inch different. Just very unprofessional overall. I hope anyone else can see this and save themselves the time.

She also pierced the fat on my girlfriend's stomach, not her navel. Today the lovely people at Beelistic informed my girlfriend that she didn't even have the anatomy for a navel piercing. Go here if you would like to spend top dollar for piercings that will eventually need to be re-done by more informed piercers! Ridiculous!

I've been here twice for ear piercings and had an awesome experience both times. Eddy is super…read morechill and funny (like everyone else at the shop) and they're pretty lax about just walking in, especially mid-day. He was also super helpful when I went in a few months after my first piercing because the earring was stuck, and switched it out for a hoop for me. There's a ton of options for jewelry and he'll listen to where you want your piercings to be (and if you wanna move it too). Both times i've been here my earrings have been at the perfect angle, and he definitely works with your ear shape and anatomy and tells you whether or not certain places will work. The prices are SUPER reasonable for the quality, and cartilage usually cost about $30ish. tattoos also start around $50 i think. great shop, great atmosphere, fun times.

They just sold me some bunk low grade quality jewelry, same jewelry they pierced me with actually. Had to go to another shop to get it looked at they told me the quality was horrible and they've had to fix and help multiple people coming from red dragon tattoo. They also told me the white build up under my piercing was from the jewelry quality that they had pierced me with. maybe before getting a piercing here you should ask them the specs and actually quality of their jewelry and if you can see the paperwork on it so you can see for yourself. Overall experience over the past weeks after i received my piercing from them has been horrible in my experience and wouldn't recommend them to anyone especially after i found out how bad their jewelry really was.

I was super nervous but Bishop and his team made me feel so at ease. His touch was light and the ink was perfect! Super happy with my pretty Eiffel Tower. We will be back next week for hubbys tat!

They know what they are doing and knows how to handle and calm the first timer's anxiety. Jeff was pretty straight forward and I liked his professionalism. He told me that how the pain will feel and it will be not painful as I assumed. When he started, I felt a weird mix of pain and tickle sensations at the same time that I said to him, "That's It!, That's the Pain....! Hmmm..... weird but I can take it." He said yes and I just handled it like nothing is happening to my skin. LOL! I will recommend all the artists in here for the people who are first time. I am happy and glad that I went to Mother's tattoo and got my first tat. Thanks Jeff, you're the best!

You get nickel and dimed here for everything and charges aren't explained. Had my ears repierced…read morehere after one had closed. Jewelry that was put in was the type that inserts from the back and has a ball that screws in from the front. After they had healed and I went to change the jewelry one of the earrings had been screwed on so tightly I couldn't remove it. Stopped in to have them unscrew it. 30 seconds total (using a hemostat to clamp the earring to remove) and she charged me another $10. Nobody mentioned this charge at all when I asked if someone could try to unscrew it or when I was called back to have it done. Great way to drum up extra business. Secure the jewelry so tight you have to return and they have to remove it with a hemostat. Then tack on an additional fee. I've had other friends with bad up-charge experiences too. One friend called to see how much it would to have her ears pierced and was told $50 over the phone. She ended up getting double piercings thinking it would be $100 and walked out with a bill over $300! Be sure to ask what the total charges are before you even sit down and get it in writing if you have to use their services. Or better yet, go somewhere else.

The staff isn't that friendly, are shouting F YOU and MOTHERF*CKER, Suck my *ss! through the store and outside smoking every 10 min. The guy who did the piercing was nice but bitched the whole time about bad reviews he's had (both times I've been here). I asked for forward helix and rook, and he explained I don't have the anatomy for a rook. Ok, settled on cartilage to balance out other ear. I've had 12 piercings, numerous being cartilage and never once have I gotten 18 barbells in them? The ones he put in were way too big. Catching on everything. Thought the fwd helix looked odd, so I went to where I've gotten All of my other piercings to have them change the jewelry and look at the helix. The cartilage location and gauge was great, it just needed a flat back post so it could swell, but not move around that much or risk being caught on something. I had to have the helix taken out because it wasn't going to heal in that spot, with a barbell, and it's not what I wanted.
