I cannot recommend 12 Oz Studios in Brooklawn, NJ enough - and Tami Rose as an Artist. I went in…read morefor a simple sketch - a sketch of my son's who passed recently - so, simple but incredibly meaningful. Not only do I LOVE the tattoo, the care, attention to detail & compassion that Tami Rose gave, was just as important. It was so evident how important it was for her to, 'get it right', while clearly explaining what the craft can & cannot do - long term. I'm so grateful. In addition, hearing the way she spoke of 12 Oz Studios & the positive culture - especially for women - was So great to hear and another reason to give this place a shout out.

Let me start by saying how much I despise needles!!! However, I was interested in getting a daith…read morepiercing (for quite some time now) & lately, I have been wanting to really get it done. I spontaneously went to Hydravolve Studios because I was nearby, it had good reviews online and I wanted to check out styles, prices, etc. I met with Shannon who was just finishing up with a client & happened to be available the remainder of that evening. She went over everything with me and showed me the earrings. It was way too plain for me and the only downfall - they don't have a good variety to choose from in stock. If you wan't rhinestones/more bling or a specific style, etc., you'll need to order it with her, wait for it to come in and then go back to get your piercing. With the fact that I have been contemplating getting this piercing done for a long time, I knew I was ready to get it done right then and there..but also wanted something with bling. Lucky for me, Shannon was able to find an earring with a "little" bling and told me it was available since the person who ordered it, after a month or so, never came back. I decided to go for it and so glad I did. I did tell Shannon to not show me the needle she was going to use or anything because I'd probably run out of the room lol Shannon was very informative; told me everything she was doing, step by step. She was very clean, very nice and super gentle. It happened so quickly with one deep breath. After she was done, she went over in detail on clean/care instructions. I would definitely recommend Shannon. She was great!!! You do have to reach out to her via email and make an appointment.

I regret coming here. I came for a daith & helix and it got messed up 3x. Let me explain…read more Got overcharged for jewelry I didn't buy and I had to go back for a refund & they're hella overpriced. Shannon did the helix & daith & it was so bad my ear hurt & swelled up and Judy had to take them out & redo them & taking them out hurt like bloody murder. She said she must've been having a "bad day" to miss BOTH so bad. How bad? I was having headaches & pain nonstop on top of the swelling & bleeding in just ONE WEEK (& I never swell or bleed from my 9 previous piercings). The daith prevented my ear from being touched at all even from the back and swelled up & stuck out. An X-Ray & MRI showed my ancient helix next to the new one and the old one was perfectly straight & perpendicular to my ear but the new one was so crooked it made a "Z" between top & bottom helix & I couldn't heal from it. From the front, the top 2 were close together but super spaced from the bottom & the back was completely the opposite. Judy redid the daith after letting it heal for a month & it was perfect. She redid helix after giving it a month to heal & it was crooked again. Same angle but not as bad. She said "it's just your ear". Excuse me?? A skilled professional should be able to compensate & my other 2 helix piercings were perfectly straight except for THAT one. They hit the dot they marked but the angle made the front & back look completely the opposite from each other. I'm not paying for another MRI & X-Ray to prove the redo was crooked again. I already saw it from the 1st one & my drs said it was messed up even though that wasn't the point of getting those tests done. I met with the piercing manager Samantha & she said it "didn't matter where it comes out the back as long as the front mark was hit". HUGE red flag That's the reason the helix Shannon did was fucked up & I couldn't heal from it (& I'm a fast healer) & it hurt like death to get it taken out. The angle is critical for a perpendicular hit & swift healing. She also said "I know I can't please you" because she swears the piercing Judy did was straight but off by a millimeter & also blaming my ear & said she's been "doing this for 13yrs" like it's the end all be all. Girl. Just because you've been doing it for some time doesn't mean you're any good. That goes for any profession. And if any other job was "having a bad day" and missed 2 of 2, I'd say they can't do their job. She was hella rude about it with a high & mighty attitude too. No apologies or refunds, just them blaming the client & excuses they're having a bad day. And she acted like she was doing me a favor not charging me for having the piercings removed when it was her people who messed up. THE ATTITUDE OMG. Sam & Shannon have the same nasty attitude. Judy was the only nice one. No one deserves to be treated like that especially a paying customer. I had to go to Urgent Care to get this treated, go on antibiotics, & go to my PCP. Too many drs visits. This place is a nightmare. Avoid it. Literally a rip off. They've ripped off & overcharged other people (I was told so in the shop) & go read the other reviews. Go ANYWHERE ELSE. You have many choices. Save yourself the time, money, aggravation, & physical injuries & pain & then getting blamed for it while getting excuses. A piercing from a piercing gun at the mall is perfectly straight (with X-rays as proof) & no excuses. Me, my brother, & his twins have never had problems even after many years & decades with our piercings and it costs a fraction of the price. Again, go anywhere else but here. Paying more (A LOT MORE) doesn't equate to better service.

My boyfriend wanted to return the jewelry but the technician said that he couldn't, even though he asked a couple of times, because "you already purchased it." In short, don't come here unless you're ready to deal with unprofessional techs who sell you jewelry that you then can't wear because they can't keep their business promises, and then won't give you a refund.
