I went to Inksane on October 15, 2024 and had the worst piercing experience I've ever had. When I arrived, the staff was outside on a smoke break and asked what I wanted to get done. I said that I was looking to get my tongue pierced and when they decided who was going to be piercing me, the chosen man seemed very annoyed. After filling out paperwork, I went to the piercing room and the man did not say one word to me the entire time. He dried my tongue off with a paper towel and then reached for something. I figured it was something to mark my tongue with and then all of the sudden he was piercing my tongue. No warning, no marking, no clamps, nothing. Additionally, he pushed the needle through the top of my tongue excruciatingly slow, and I was in intense pain the entire time, which is abnormal for a tongue piercing. Afterwards, I went to the lobby to pay, and the man still had not said a single word to me. I was told nothing about aftercare either but luckily, I had done my own research before. I did not even want to pay because it was the most unprofessional thing I had ever experienced. I left the shop and proceeded to panic in my car because I was extremely worried about my tongue and if the piercing was placed correctly. Again, luckily, it healed fine, and I did not notice any damage. However, I will never be returning to Inksane. Before this experience, I had gotten my daith pierced at Inksane by Magen, their lead piercer, and had an amazing experience. She was nothing like the man who did my tongue. I was excited to go back and have another good experience but that did not happen, and I will never return. If you are looking to get pierced here, do not allow anyone to pierce you except Magen. Do better Inksane. read more
