Great atmosphere and amazing artists. Came in for a walk in and was treated beyond amazing. Both Jim and Kym were great and offered help every step of the way and did everything to make the experience comfortable and to my preference. Including asking if I needed a break, asking what exactly I wanted to change/do, offering drinks/snacks and just going beyond the standards. Will definitely be stopping back. read more

Jimmie tattooed, the most beautiful flower and saying on my upper arm that I ever could have thought! He's very light handed and gentle and continues to talk throughout the entire time which puts your mind at ease and makes you feel more comfortable! He also explains every step of the procedure as he goes and gives great instructions following! I absolutely will be going back for my next tattoo!!!! read more

I went in for my first tattoo and the shop is welcoming, priced reasonably and the service was excellent the tattoo turned out great, jimmy was very understanding about it being my first tattoo and payed great attention to detail! read more

I really don't want to have to write this review....especially since My first experience here was exceptional. Now, I would advise anyone reading my review to NOT GO TO JIMMIE EAST FOR YOUR PIERCING. Disclaimer: THIS IS MY FIRST AND ONLY PIERCING EXPERIENCE OTHER THAN EARS. I HAVEN'T GONE ANYWHERE ELSE. The first time I came it was outstanding. I had gone to Piercing Pagoda initially (my bad), and I left my saline at the Kiosk, so I went to the closest shop to buy more, which is how I ended up at East Coast instead. I just asked to buy saline but Jimmie realized my nose stud was not in properly. He threw me in a chair, called over a lady named Kim and was like "Yeah we need to get that out and get you a better stud." He repierced me with a flatback stud and got me all good again. I was SOOOO thankful! Now the second time I came, I asked the blonde girl for a jewelry change, plus I couldn't get the stud out by myself. I wanted a nose ring. I bought one with rhinestones off Shein. He told me the ring was a piece of sh!t but that's fair it was. So he got some of his other jewelry from the back, he put it in but it didn't fit (he said "wrong gauge"). NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. He comes back with the ring THAT YOU SEE IN MY NOSE. He just snaps it in, and the first thing I noticed is that the ring is very girthy, and I didn't even want a ring that thick and he didn't show me prior to insertion, but whatever. He proceeds to tell me it was one you can just snap in and out so it should be more adjustable. He also said it was a ring Kim made (what I gathered is she used to do business there now she's doing solo ventures), but she is/was not working there that day. But he said it was one of her designs, and it was similar to the design I brought in and it was already in my nose so cool. Finally, I came back in the other day (4/2/25) to show him the state of my nose ring. When I told him, he immediately was defensive and told me he didn't put that POS in my nose and wouldn't even own up to it. He says he doesn't even have that kind of setup, blah blah so I asked him to show me and he said he was fresh out surgery, walking with a walker, etc. and was UNABLE. It made for a very distressing and unprofessional experience. He never even asked to look at the jewelry or assess it, he immediately got defensive. He came up with excuses like "Maybe someone else did it, maybe Kim did it," but obviously I know who pierced me. I stepped out to call my boyfriend crying because he has been the one taking me to get my jewelry done. I was trying to explain what was happening to him when I see Jimmie get up and start approaching me outside the shop. He's all like "Okay I'll show you the setup" no you should have done it when you were supposed to. He tried to lure me back in the shop but I ended up walking away and leaving. Now I'm in the process of finding a new piercer. I've been thinking of the highly rated Cowpok, or I like the ratings of Arboreal Ink and Lucky DeVille Tattoo. Just do your own research and go somewhere that's NOT piercing pagoda (lol) or EAST COAST INK. read more

East Coast Ink - Tattoo Near Me - Buffalo, New York

TLDR: The 5 star Google reviews are fake, he has you leave a review before leaving the shop and before paying after the appointment/walk-in, was pierced with low quality jewelry, the shop is empty with nothing going on in it, and he is crazy inappropriate with initial interactions. Got two piercings. First thing he said to me when I walked in there was "we don't bite, we lick" so I mean that's cool. Jim was tattooing someone, and stopped to pierce me. Which if he was busy I wouldn't have minded coming back. That was the first red flag. Got two belly button piercings, top and bottom. He tried to talk me into dangly jewelry to be pierced with. I insisted no. Which thankfully I have the knowledge I do on piercings and body modifications to know you're not supposed to be pierced with any fancy jewelry. That was the second red flag. When doing the two piercings, I chose the color. Thought it was maybe iodized metal. He pierces me, and puts the bars in. While tightening the balls, the balls broke, about 3 times. He made a comment about them being plastic balls and "how he'll never use them again" that was the third red flag. At this point, I thought screw it. I'm here let's get this done, I know who can look at it and help me out after. I go to pay. He says "we're trying to get to 5,000 Google reviews, if you could please leave a review" immediately after I hand him my card. I say okay, not really intending on leaving a review, but when I didn't review as quickly as he had asked, he asked me again, so I posted a 5 star Google review. Then he processed payment. While processing payment he looked at me and said "are you leaving a tip?" On the spot I said sure, 20. That was the fourth red flag. When going over aftercare, he told me to use "table salt" on my belly button piercing. (I have quite a few body modifications, I certainly did not use table salt) Jim said it would heal "in two weeks" with that method. A simple google search shows a belly button piercing won't be fully healed for 9 months to a year. That was the fifth red flag. 48 hours later, I woke up covered in a mysterious green and yellow liquid, seeping from my belly button. It was infected. I took a closer look at it, noticed I was pierced with a bar that didn't give my navel any room to breathe during healing. I began to take it out. In order to get it out, I had to actually break the balls that he used to put it on. I can promise you, the reviews on Google are all fake. To make you feel like YOU wanted to leave a review on Google for him, he enters you in a raffle for a free tattoo or piercing. I can assure you, the reviews on yelp are real, the ones on Google, are not. The people here telling about their awful experience, are real. I got lucky and I wasn't harassed the same way some people on here have been, but given my experience I don't doubt it did happen. read more

If I could rate this place 0 stars I would, unfortunately yelp makes you at least rate it 1 star. The owner Jimmy and his accomplice (the piecer) are highly unprofessional and lacked basic etiquette when it comes to being an owner of a shop and being a tattooer in general. I went into the shop and experienced sexual harassment the entire time, the owner made me strip down to basically naked unnecessarily, making sexual advances and comments. Making inappropriate advances. Highly would not recommend any woman going in this establishment. If anything it should be shut down. read more

i called east coast ink about 10 mnutes ago. i wanted an american flag tatoo to go withthe portrait of my mom. jimmy insisted it was his day off but he could get me in if i could get there in time. i asked him about the yelp reviwews as compared to the google reviews and he insisted everyone on yelp was a hater. they were just out to get him and thats why the reviews onyelp were so bad as compared to the 2500 good ones on google. he insisted he makes 500,000 a year so he doesnt care about that. i felt that was valid but when i saw his work i saw that hes actually terrible at tattooing. i told him he sucks and he hung up on me. i wouldve probably still got the tattoo even though he sucks. my standards are not that high. but him being a jerk is the final straw. dont go here! jimmy's not a nice guy!!! read more

My sister came to visit at the last minute and we wanted a traveling sister tattoo. We text and were responded to quickly. All of our many questions were answered and when we went in to the shop it was very clean. Jimmy wiped up a design we had in mind and was able to take care of all three of us. He makes you feel comfortable and we had a great visit. Staff was also friendly and I would recommend giving East Coast Ink a try if you are looking for a tattoo. They also offer piecing. I did not have this service but the customer that was there seemed to be pleased with the results. Thanks again Jimmy! Toni M. ( The middle sister) read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this is one of the worst experiences I've had getting tattooed. And I've been to many tattoo artists. Jimmie East was highly unprofessional, both during and after my tattoo session this week. He made several inappropriate comments. He offered me alcohol and cannabis multiple times, even after each refusal. His only apology was "I'm sorry if I offended you." I was uncomfortable to say the least, and when I told him so, he said I had offended him. Before leaving I saw my PayPal payment was pending, and left him my email so if there was a problem he could contact me. I said I could resend it no problem. Then he sends me an email threatening to call the police and to have them get a warrant. For a pending payment. The tattoos came out good, but his behavior for this entire experience has been uncalled for and very unprofessional. Do not get tattooed or pierced here. read more

Very disappointed. When I went in they weren't friendly or helpful. I expressed concern with the look of my jewelry and was brushed off. The hoop itself is worse quality than the ones I've ordered off amazon. Within a week the clasp stopped clicking closed and the ring very easily bent out of shape. I was charged $40 for this. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Jimmy and Kym were very accommodating and friendly! Went in for a replacement nose ring- was unable to get the ring in. Kim took time out of her schedule to make sure I left with it in. Shop was clean and welcoming! Professional staff with a homey feel! read more

Called to get a tattoo w my friend and Jim answered and said as long as we are there before 10 they can take us, we walk in and KYM said how can I help you... we said we're here for small matching tattoos. She said well I'm not staying here til midnight we close at 10 we said we drive all the way here bc whoever it was on phone said if we're here before 10 we're good. She said well he's not here anymore. I asked her why she was being so rude and she screamed if u wanna see rude I'll show u fucking rude get the fuck outta my shop!!! I reached out to owner and he said she would never talk to a customer That way but after reading reviews it's clear they both do. We would not have came all the way there if we knew that was going to happen. Ther was a guy sitting on the couch saying he's been waiting for an hour and we should just leave after being spoken to that way. KYM was piercing a girl while she was screaming at me the girl was probably frightened! read more

honestly I did not need to leave this review but I will. I was home for a week in Buffalo and wanted to get a tattoo. I brought my cousin with me and it was the day of a Bills game. we told him we had plans to go and we didn't have forever to wait around. He seemed polite and nice, man was I wrong. a tattoo that should've taken 45 minutes at the most took 3 hours. he kept getting up to watch the other football games that were on that day, and i've been places where they take a break or two. so to me a break was not that big of a deal. but he easily took 5 or 6 20 minute breaks. he was hollering at the woman that worked there and being very disrespectful. my cousin still lives in Buffalo so she has time to make appointments. she goes to a different place and he completely insulted her tattoos and even mentioned that he could do hers when she mentioned 1 of them was not completely finished. on the way out he hugged and kissed our cheeks which i thought was weird for a total stranger to do. the nail in the coffin was him blowing up my phone for a review. i mentioned numerous times i was busy with my family and he would not let up. eventually i told his sexist POS to stop texting me and it was borderline stalking given he did not stop begging for a review after i left town a week later. my tattoo looks great but he didnt free hand a thing. just printed out a picture and stenciled the whole thing. but it was insanely overpriced. he apparently deletes all bad reviews on good, but cant on here. whatever you do, do not go here! read more

walk in appointment, it was super fast and the service was amazing. super affordable and friendly, i'm so happy with my piercing!

I went there for a simple heart tattoo. Look at what they did to my arm. Her excuse was it is a hard spot. Stay away from this business total scam and highly untalented and not trained.

Oh, Jimmy. I don't even know where to start. First off, he's very well known in the tattoo community...as a fraud. He's not allowed at tattoo conventions and he steals others' artwork (this came directly out of four artists' mouths). He messed up my septum piercing (it was literally crooked, kind of like the way he is), so I had to get it repierced by a professional. Stupid me should have put two and two together about how he gives his customers "money off" to write him a nice review. Here's where the real reviews are. He charged me $250 for this tattoo that I almost had to get lasered off--that's how dark and hideous it was. My real and normal tattoo artist was able to put a lot of white and lighter colors to fix the awful shading and POS tattoo Jimmie created. He is one shady dude. He also makes inappropriate comments. I met these two girls at Spencer's and the one girl was crying because he clamped her belly button piercing wrong. I heard her say "East Coast Ink" and I jumped in the convo. Poor girl. I hope she went to the doctor's office to get it taken out. BEWARE. read more

Overcharged asf. I got a cover up and they took their sweet time to charge me $300 for a cover up. They also did it way too big and I felt like I didn't get a chance to tell them to shrink it.

I've been pierced 6 times now by Kim and am on my way back atm. Based on my experience, she has been very nice and also uses my preferred name and pronouns with no problem. Old guy at the back is creepy and I don't like him but the lady Kim is welcoming based on my experiences. read more

I wish I could give this disgusting establishment 0 stars. How they are still in business is completely beyond me. Jimmie pierced me and was a rude, sexist piece of shit from the minute we walked in. We are in the middle of a pandemic and not a single mask was in sight on him or his rat-looking friend. On top of that, he was chewing tobacco while piercing me and coughing into the air. I want to throw up just thinking about that piece of shit. They also were sweeping and painting which is completely unsanitary for a tattoo shop. I went in for a belly button piercing and after being "welcomed" in the rudest way possible, Jimmie proceeded to boast about how he's the "best piercer in the area" more times than I can count. He also aggressively told me multiple times that he is "the only piercer that knows how to do belly button piercings properly" This man desperately needs to see a therapist. I received the most botched belly button piercing that hurt like a BITCH (which I now know is not right because I've since gotten a proper one). This wasn't even the worst of it. Only after Jimmie put the hole in my body and stuck the piercing in, he tells me that he actually didn't have the correct size jewelry for me, so he put one in that was way too big and it's just going to hurt and cause a ton of issues while healing, until we can change it out. And I was supposed to buy the new correctly sized jewelry myself! He fucked up my piercing, only told me after the damage was already done, then told me I just had to figure it out myself. When i proceeded to ask questions about how to get myself the correct jewelry (because he's supposed to be the professional, not me), he interrupted me, cut me off, and responded so, so rudely, not even answering my questions. I had to take the piercing out immediately after getting home because literally after 2 hours it was already rejecting out of my skin. I got it redone at Lucky DeVille for a discount and the contrast between the two establishments is like night and day. I'm begging you, if you're reading this looking to get a tattoo or piercing, go to Lucky DeVille. It was one of the best experiences i have ever had at an establishment. I couldn't be more angry that this disgusting man at this disgusting place has my money. Please do not give East Coast Ink your business. read more

Hung up on me as soon as I asked if they were open on Sundays or not . Would not want to get pierced here by their customer service. I understand the bad reviews now lol read more

When I got to East Coast Ink and saw the sign "TATTOO'S" displayed instead of the actual name of the shop, that should've been my first red flag. Apparently this wasn't enough to deter me, and neither was the fact that the owner was smoking a joint out of a 1940s cigarette holder when I pulled up. I was accompanied by my sister to get a tongue piercing, and through pure stubborness stayed at the shop to go through with the piercing because I didn't feel like going anywhere else (my mistake). Jimmie managed to "hint" that I was getting the piercing for sexual purposes for my girlfriend (who was my sister, and I repeated this each time he asked) at least 5 times throughout the entire experience, and when I finally told him that wasn't the case he asked what my reasoning was. "To look cool!" I said happily, only for Jimmie to laugh and say "Ok, fucking freak." Despite this, I STILL DECIDED to get the piercing, which Jimmie unsurprisingly absolutely messed up. Prior to paying, Jimmie said the piercing was on sale after I seemed a bit apprehensive given everything wrong about the shop. After getting pierced however, Jimmie conveniently remembered that the sale had just ended the day before, and charged me full price. At the end of the day my decisions lead me here, but also what is wrong with this man. read more

If i could give this place a negative 1000 rating I would.. I'm a 23yr old UB college student. 5'2 and about 130lbs. Not sure if the PRICK owner is racist or just hates women. I entered his shop in hopes that he could replace my snake eyes piercing (it's pierced, i just needed the jewelry to be replaced for me). He was just so mean and yelling at me. Told me cash only with the worst attitude ever. I was so scared and nervous I was actually shaking. I then asked him another question about another piercing I have, I wanted to know what size gauge it was, again, yelling and being soooooo rude. I then asked him why he was yelling and being so mean to me. He yelled and said he couldn't understand me under my f*cking mask. What was his wife doing? LAUGHING. I told him to please stop yelling since I'm calm and obviously have to wear a mask. He told me to get the F*CK out of his shop and that he's the best in town. Best in town? With that attitude? Rudeness? Hard to believe. I thought he was going to attack me. When he held the door open for me to leave, his face was red and he was shaking. I had to slide by the door in fear that he may attack me. I'm not sure what I did to get him so angry, I just wanted to replace my piercing. So upsetting. That an old man like that who could be my father put fear in my heart like that while his wife laughed at me. read more

East Coast Ink - That's the best pic I could get of him. After that, he immediately closed down his shop after I threatened to call my campus police. - Tattoo Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Jimmy was beyond rude when we entered his shop for business. No hello, just "why are you here?" As he was prepping to pierce my friend's ear he put gloves on then proceeded to touch everything around the shop, and never change his gloves. I watched the whole thing. He proceeded with the unsterile piercing and then the earring snapped in half and got STUCK IN HER EAR!!!!!! Blood was gushing everywhere and one part of the earring fell on the ground. He picked the earring up FROM THE GROUND and tried to put it BACK IN HER EAR!!!! NO JOKE! This place is seriously dirty and dangerous. Two worst nightmares when getting a tattoo or piercing. Should be reported to NY state and shut down immediately. *Also don't pay any attention to the 5 star reviews.... every hour he shockingly gets a 5 star review from someone. So clearly he's rigging the system. If you met the guy you would want to give him zero stars if possible. read more

real easy quick tattoo very professional and clean and does great work. would defiantly go back for next tattoo

Ridiculous guy. Wasted my money and fucked up a simple design. I wanted a morse code and the loser made it a random line. Constantly kept commenting on my legs and how ugly they were "according to him". Do not go there. Minus 10000 rating is what i would give. read more

I recommend never going to this tattoo shop EVER. They were nice at first everything was good as well as costumer service but the guy who tattooed my boyfriend was horrible and let me tell you why. First shockingly they let me in with my boyfriend even though I'm 16. The guy whose name I don't know I could possibly be jimmy, approached me and said," I know you said you didn't wanna drink but here you go. How old are ya?" I reply,"16." He replies with," Oh. I won't tell anybody." And proceeds to laugh. I thought maybe it was a coke or water because the lady offered when I walked in. But I took it and when I smelled it I realized it was alcohol and strong alcohol which myself and my boyfriend didn't drink because it was very weird. Later he said and very seriously," You better fucking drink that because that was a lot of moneys worth of vodka." Which I and my boyfriend still didn't drink. Before he started he told my boyfriend not to move or he will charge him more. He was only breathing and the guy kept getting mad. He was also drinking right before he started the tattoo. He got an arm done and said," This is too small I can't do it. It's gonna look like shit in 5 years." My boyfriend said he didn't care at that point because he already started. The guy said " Get out." And they argued back and forth and we left. So the point is never go here if you want a shitty tattoo. Now we have to get it fixed and my boyfriend is pissed and has every right to be. This tattoo shop is a joke read more

East Coast Ink - Tattoo Near Me - Buffalo, New York

The owner of this shop is a racist bully. And maybe at one point he may have done work worthy of his prices, but that's not what we received. My husband and I went in with concept designs, his attempt to create anything worth what we were charged was extremely poor. He insulted one of my other tattoos (highly unprofessional) he offered alcohol and drugs multiple times despite our declining it. He was extremely rude and just a bully. The way he spoke to customers let alone the other artist that was there was despicable. He absolutely tries to buy good reviews with offers like coupons and "pay for 4 tattoos get the 5th free". I will need to have my tattoo redone because it looks bad. And I'm still not sure how his "$150/hr" cost us $500, because he spent less than an hour on mine and the artist that did my husband's tattoo doesn't have a ton of experience (she was up front about that) so her fee should have been less. Save your money and disappointment. Book with someone else. read more

I do not have the words to fully express my disgust for this place. I went in with my mother so she could get her nose pierced. Right off the bat, I knew something was off about this place. While it was very clean and orderly and seemed like a nice physical establishment, the owner (Jim) is an absolutely sexist, disgusting, rude piece of garbage. My mother has been married for over 30 years but she doesn't wear her ring because she has bad arthritis. He's immediately asking her if she's married and questioning the lack of her wedding ring because, and I quote, she's "hot" and is his "type". I'm very glad I did not let my mother go alone because I would not want her alone in this place. I would not want any woman alone in this place with him. He is egotistical and claims he is number one rated in Western New York - that's a lie. He is telling her to wash her piercing with table salt; you might as well just rub a french fry on your nose for same effect. I have multiple facial piercings myself, and he specifically told my mom not to listen to how I took care of my piercings because I did not go to him and his way is "the only way and the best way". I wish I was making this up, but these are exact quotes. As far as I'm aware, nose piercings should only be done with a stud and not with a hoop, as hoops have a better likelihood of interrupting the healing process. I'm not a piercer so I could be wrong on that, but that's what I've been told by other piercers. He claims that no one has ever gotten a keloid scar from him, as if that actually has anything to do with it; some people are genetically predisposed to keloid scarring, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with his "expertise". He blames every person who's ever gotten an infection on them, saying that one girl got a nipple piercing infected and he blamed it on the fact that she either "slept in a dirty sheet" or that "somebody came on her nipple" in order for it to be infected. Not to mention, we were there for a half hour and 20 minutes of it was him running his mouth about how good he is. He even had the audacity to question my mother's quality of tattoos. Women beware, if you truly must go to this man, do not go alone and certainly don't go for any piercings below the neck. You will notice that the only bad reviews are on Yelp; that's because business owners can't request ratings to be removed like you can on Google. Not to mention, in the era of covid-19, he was not wearing a mask and made no move to prove to us that he was vaccinated and he didn't ask us for proof of vaccination. read more

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE...IF I COULD GIVE IT NO STARS I WOULD!!!! Short story is that the owner was not professional at all. I was getting my nipples pierced and instead of taking me back to a room to give me some privacy he put a tiny ass barrier in front of a chair to do it. first red flag. Then he started to play with my nipples making sexual comments and he kissed my head ! I was so uncomfortable that I just stayed quiet. He pierced my first nipple which is lopsided btw and then had his son do the other. I am all for teaching but his son messed it up so bad that they had to take it out... It would have ripped out if i would have kept it. He hardly cleaned anything and the whole time he was calling his son a retard and far worse things. I frankly feel bad for his son. The man then proceeded to charge me more money than he originally said. I had now found an amazing piercer located by Sheridan... Should have just gone to him in the first place.. Turns out this man has done this to multiple people mostly girls and is not even a real piercer. Love that. I will never go back to him nor would i recommend him to my worst enemy. Please do not go here for anything. I feel bad for his past customers. Btw there is so much more that he did. read more

If I could give this place no stars i definitely would. Me and my friend went in for a belly button piercing at the owner jimmy was extremely rude. Not to mention one of the employees was saying extremely inappropriate things to my friend. After I was done with my piercing I stood up and jimmy the owner said if I wanted it to look better then I should lose a few pounds. My mom ended up calling and he apologized and then offered to give me a free tattoo or piercing which I passed on. Two days later my belly button was extremely sore. I went to a different tattoo shop and they told me that they piercing was not pierced right at all. East coast ink is a horrible place to go for piercings and tattoos. Very unprofessional and rude. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL! read more

This guy a is a total control man I called other tatoo shops in my area they said that's the last place you should of went .I now found someone who actually I a good tatoo artist he said he does alot of people who got there tatoo done here and he had to fix up the messes he made . read more

Got a septum piercing done and the piercer was very shaky, didn't check the height of the septum or mark anything and pierced the hard cartilage of my nose. He then told me he "put the piercing high so I could flip it up", I believe he only noticed after that he put it up too high and tried to cover his mistake. Even if it was on purpose, it was extremely unprofessional to not check the placement with me beforehand. A complete waste of $70. The tattoo artist Jimmie was also there and making racist comments/jokes about the Vietnamese restaurant nearby, saying "it was clean and there isnt any cat in their food", and just being extremely rude about it in general. They also told me the septum piercing would be fully healed in 2 weeks and to clean it using a saline solution of table salt and tap water. I didn't follow those instructions and used regular saline solution, i think its pretty obvious that tap water could introduce bacteria and other contaminants to a fresh piercing and it's very surprising to me that any "professional" piercer would advise aftercare like that. Overall the experience was very unprofessional and uncomfortable. read more

I went in for two ear piercings and another matching nostril piercing. One month later, my nose ring is out because it was wildly uneven, And my ear piercing got infected even though I take good care of them. I've got near twelve piercings and I've never had so much trouble with them before. Not to mention I was charged almost three hundred dollars for three piercings, And I ended up only keeping one because the other two are shot. I recommend you just go to Cowpok for any kind of piercings. Don't waste your time here. read more

Went in to get my teenager's ear pierced and Jim yelled at us for wearing masks. He said he wouldn't service my daughter because I was wearing a mask. What??? COVID is still alive and well and there is no way I would believe ole' Jimbo has been vaccinated. This man clearly has a problem. We chose this place due to the 5 star rating on Google. What a joke. I felt like something was wrong as soon as we walked in. I had no idea the shop had such a bad rating on Yelp.Thank God we dodged a bullet. We ended I up getting a beautiful piercing at Cowpok, whom I highly recommend. read more
