Not sure who the middle aged woman is that works there. She wouldn't give me a name after being…read morevery rude and nasty towards customers. She stormed off in a silver sedan in a reckless way throwing up a middle finger to everyone that she put in danger. The lack of professionalism from this woman was astronomical. Joe is a great artist but if he was smart he would get rid of that woman as she is a liability to his company as well as anyone around her. Would rate Joes art work and talent 5 star but I wouldn't recommend this place with that woman working there. Good luck Joe!

I went there today looking at tattoos and ended up getting my nose pierced. Very clean place. Felt…read moreconfident in the staff. However, after piercing my nose he stated that I could have probably taken a smaller bar and if it was bothering me to come back in a week and they'd replace it for $5. I just spent $57 for the piercing and you're telling me that I have to spend $5 more cause you put in a bar that could have went smaller? The apprentice was nice but couldn't answer a lot of my questions and after piercing -- not much was address. First time piercing here except for my ears so I'm a little disappointed and wondering if I should get my first tattoo here.

Anyways, at the age of 44, my husband's first tattoo is still standing tall, still receiving compliments. It never has been touched up, still all original. Such a great tribute to our young and wild youth every time I look at his beautiful tattoo. Thanks Ancient Art!! Peace, Love, and ((HUGS)) 22 years later!

I walked into to this tattoo shop looking to make an appointment for my first tattoo.

I was really taken aback but told him that I still wanted it and would be willing to make an appointment. He then wouldn't let me make an appointment and said I could try walking in every day to see if he could take me. I decided to leave and go to Rarely Suspect instead and was met with a much better appreciation.

I came here to get my belly button pierced, a little over 5 months ago for my 16th birthday. i was…read morenot sure if my belly button was the right anatomy for this piercing because, when i sit my belly button collapses and that will cause your piercing to reject and be very irritated. A solution to this if you don't have the anatomy for a regular belly ring, it's called a floating navel, it still has a a cute little diamond at the top but the bottom part where the ball would go it's a flat back and it keeps your piercing from moving and collapsing onto itself like what would happen if a person with this anatomy would get the traditional piercing. but when i went into the shop i asked them before we even went back or picked the jewelry if my anatomy was correct because i wasn't sure, he looked at it said it was fine so i was excited. first off yes the regular jewelry is 60 plus the piercing charge which is a little expensive but understandable. when we went back into the piercing area he marked it when i was standing, he didn't make me sit to make sure my belly bottom didn't collapse like a piercer is supposed to do, but i didn't think anything of it until now. my piercing isn't even in my belly button like it's supposed to be, it's a surface piercing basically because i don't have the anatomy for a regular ring. Even though i asked to make sure i did and they said i did but obviously they were wrong and couldn't make the professional observation. fast forward 5 1/2 months the piercing is extremely irritated all of the time, i don't touch it ever, i clean once a day or when there are crusties, not over cleaning it, i don't sleep on it, i use saline i don't use rubbing alcohol or peroxide or ointments. so im just genuinely so pissed because that's the only thing i got for my 16th birthday and now i can't even keep it because these piercers are so uneducated.

The problem arose after we left - I was driving through Charlotte, trying to get to the airport. Someone from the studio called my cell phone saying that the tattoo artist who checked us out had made a mistake and had charged us for the tattoos but had not added the tip as I requested. I explained that I was driving in heavy traffic in an area I was unfamiliar with and I would call them back. Multiple phone calls/voicemails/emails and a letter (!!!!) later, they're threatening to take me to court .... for the TIP - that they made the mistake in not charging to my Visa card. I had every intention of calling them back to authorize an additional transaction to cover a tip but their uber-aggressive approach to the problem (which they totally created) has me in the "fine - you want to go to court? File in Minnesota where I live and let's talk to a judge about you adding interest onto a TIP -- and demanding that I pay you a tip at all. (Never threaten an attorney with legal action because you screwed up a transaction and didn't get your tip.)
