Today I went to Affliction Ink Tattoo to get my septum pierced. Having a sour piercing experience…read morein the past, I was more than a bit nervous. This was something I shared with my artist, Jake, who reassured me about the piercing and talked through the process before performing it. He also brought up that he felt confident in performing the piercing and told me I could see some of his work on Facebook, I appreciated his openness and confidence. For the piercing itself, Jake used an unopened sterile needle and for the jewelry he gave me an unopened, high grade surgical steel horseshoe (and it looks great, if I do say so myself ). After the jewelry was in and my nose was wiped, Jake went over the aftercare instructions for me and gave me a take home packet with any instructions or tips to keep in mind. He also gave me his card and told me to not hesitate to call if something with my piercing wasn't right, or if I had a question. Overall, my experience at Affliction Ink was professional, clean, and faultless. If you're in the market for a top-knotch piercing, I reccomend you stop in and talk to Jake.

Really loved how informative and professional Myah was. I'm looking forward to more appointments.read more

I got a new piercing in my ear here. The staff was very friendly and the pricing was reasonable…read more I could tell that they were knowledgeable, and that the woman piercing me knew what she was doing. They are also very clean, and sanitary which is obviously very important. If I have any other piercing needs I will certainly return here.

The next day I called looking to talk to him and he was talking to a client so they took my number down so he could call me right back, four hours later I called again to see if he was available and he had left for the day. Guess potential new clients aren't needed at their establishment.

(Tattoo Bob's is now Evolve Tattoo & Piercing, just an FYI for anyone looking for the old name.)…read more I'll do the pros first, because I really really want to be able to give this place more stars. I really do, because the guys working there (can't remember their names) were nice and conversational, and in terms of piercing safety, they're fine. The price was really what drew me in; you can't get $10 piercings anywhere else. But as much as I was glad to get a piercing for such an awesome price, I couldn't ignore all the cons that kept popping up. There were two overall bigguns that got me: While the guys there were conversational, they took FOREVER. The entire time my piercer pierced the women waiting ahead of me, he kept stopping to talk to his coworker. It happened again when I went up to the counter, paid for my piercings (a 3rd set of lobes)...and waited to sign my form while the piercer started talking to a woman next to me who'd just walked in. She was clearly a friend, but it seemed incredibly unprofessional to me, and took up extra time. The second big thing that stood out was that they NEED to hire more people, and/or have more space designated for piercings. When the shop opened at 12, there was one guy working, and about 6 or 7 people milling around waiting to get something done. When I came back around 2:45, his coworker had come in as well, but because there's only one chair used for piercings, I had to wait until my piercer finally got done with the women before me. And this is based on personal preference, but I really don't like the open design of the shop. It just makes the experience feel far less private and personalized, and a lot more uncomfortable. Maybe it's just because I've only ever been to closed-room shops before this (Blue Lotus and Affliction in Madison), but I was not a fan. EDIT: Earlier, I posted about how great and safe the piercings I got were, but I want to retract that. I did have some issues with a reeeeeally long healing time, as well as inflammation/irritation a couple months after the fact. It could've been my fault, but it could also have been partly the shop's. $10 piercings, after all, are not necessarily the most sterile thing in the world. Overall, I really wish I could give Evolve more positivity, but the slowness and lack of professionalism of the employees, combined with the shop's design, just completely turned me off. It was a good place to go for a cheap piercing, but I don't think I'll be going back again--I'd much rather hit up a more professional, client-focused place, clearly sterile place like Blue Lotus or Affliction in the future.

Soo. (I have a monroe and a lip ring and went in to get…read morecanine bites) Was so excited to get my canine bites done on my birthday. Realized right away my new lip ring was crooked. (I've had both rings aka snake bites before but one was done crooked at this place a while back ago) It got so swollen. I've never had a piercing get too noticably swollen before, especially a lip ring) Told the dude not to pierce it in the same spot where the scar from the crooked piercing was before. Since it was higher up by my lip than my other one. And he pierced it RIGHT next to it on the side. Like as close as possible to the old one where it like merged with it. Then a few days later smiled once my face didn't hurt as much and totally saw that my new monroe was crooked. As where the labrets go in different directions. And it was lower down. I really just felt like crying because my face is fucked up with these piercings and I wasted $20 and my birthday present was ruined. I have new scar tissue. Have to take them out and let them close up. And hope that the scars aren't going to be that noticable since I plan to repierce them. But not there. I would ask the dude questions and they were never helpful answers. The dude that pierced them also bumbed the claps midway while doing my monroe if I may add. It hurt SO bad!!! And saw him wiggle the clamps while he said that the clamps were broken AFTER piercing me. Oh and if I didn't mention right before he started that he forgot to give me the mouthwash they give you. I had to remind him. Because he forgot. I am really really upset... :( It's unbelievably ridiculous. It wouldn't let me choose 0 stars, I would definitely not want to go through this same experience again.
