I've been following this place on Instagram for weeks, and I finally made it in for a piercing…read more First off, the outside entrance is super cute and the aesthetic is just lovely. When you step inside, you'll see their jewelry case with all genuine metal, hypoallergenic pieces that you can leave in forever. They have a range of options, including gold, diamond, and cubic zirconia. A friendly lady at the front will guide you through all the jewelry options. I chose this place because of its cute, dainty jewelry, which is perfect if you like smaller pieces. The process is straightforward: you pay separately for the piercing and the jewelry. The piercing itself is $60, and you'll need to buy the stud or back piece, which costs an additional $18. The jewelry ranges from $85 and up. My final cost was around $300 for a genuine gold piece with a real diamond. The studio was clean, and the piercer was incredibly knowledgeable, laid-back, and easy to talk to. I'm already planning my next visit and looking forward to getting another piercing. We even mapped out my ear for future piercings!

I went to Atomic for my first four tattoos. My first three were done by Nate and my experience with…read morehim was AWFUL! I was SUPER nervous and scared for my first tattoo because I hate needles and have a low pain tolerance. Nate was rude and seemed to be extremely annoyed by me the entire time. I wanted the saying "Everything happens for a reason" across the side of my right foot. He argued that that spot would fade and that it should go across the top of my foot. Since he is the professional, I said okay. In the end, I did like the placing of the tattoo and am glad he mentioned a different placement. However, it wasn't a good experience because he was rude the whole time. For my second tattoo, I wanted "Life Goes On" on my right rib cage. I didn't know where else to go so I went back to Nate. Again, he was super rude and was even rude to my sister who went with me. He asked me when I was going to get a "real" tattoo. I'm not sure what constitutes a "real" tattoo? The size? The number of words? Does it have to be hand drawn or custom? I'm not sure. Again, he was rude the entire time. For my third tattoo, I wanted "One step at a time" on my left foot with two small foot prints. I went to Atomic and ended up with Nate again. He used the words and lettering that I provided, but drew the feet. I thought the feet were too big compared to the size of the words and was not a fan of the placement. I asked him to make them smaller and change the placement. He told me no and said that would look "stupid." Since he was the professional and was right the first time, I went with it. Of course he was rude the entire time, what's new? When I got home, I went to post it in Facebook. When I added the foot print emoji, I realized that he tattooed the feet BACKWARDS (like you were walking with your legs crossed). Then for my Fourth tattoo, I wanted "Never look back" on my left shoulder and a tongue piercing, still not knowing where else to go, I went back to Atomic. This time I ended up with Shaun, thank god. He was super nice, professional and down to earth. He talked to me the whole time and really put my mind at ease. For tattoos 5-10, I went to Hot Rod and ended up being tattooed by Randy Oiler. He tattooed four of those five. He was super professional, down to earth and talkative. For the first time, I wasn't anxious before getting a tattoo. He recently opened his own shop in Moundsville, WV called 1601 Custom Tattooing. I followed him there to get my 11th tattoo and will be a client for life.

If I could give 100 stars I would! I've been wanting to get my nose pierced for the longest time. I…read morehad an appointment booked with Hot Rod Piercing a few months ago and ended up cancelling because work was crazy/holidays were coming up, etc. Anyway - one of my favorite humans said she was getting hers pierced last weekend so I tagged along to get mine done too (unnamed tattoo shop). I was soooo excited. The piercer there had a difficult time getting the needle through my nose, and the L shaped ring too (ouch). But! It was done. My nose was pierced. And I loved it! My nose started to swell real bad and it was sinking way down into my nose by the 2nd day. Day 3 it was even more swollen and I had to "prop" the ring up with a tissue to keep the stud out of the hole. Without the tissue it just sank further into my new piercing. Day 4 I woke up and had a panic attack. The ring completely disappeared inside of my nostril. I tried to pull it out myself because I was sick to my stomach and just over it. It wouldn't come out! I legit considered going to the ER to have to removed. I was positive there was no way to get that ring out. Naturally I start Googling. Different sites and forums said to go back to the piercer so they can fix it and change the jewelry if needed. No way I was going back to that tattoo shop. At this point, the entire right side of my face hurt so bad. I thought for sure I had an infection. I Googled Hot Rod's hours.. they opened at 12pm. It was only 10am. I called them as soon as they opened and was told I could just walk in and they'd squeeze me in between appointments. I picked my new ring and Tanner took me back a few minutes later. Tanner was AMAZING. He was so patient with me and explained everything before he did it. I laid back on the table and apologized in advance for crying because I knew getting out the ring I had was going to be super painful. I felt a little pressure and he had it out within seconds (& no tears! Lol). Let me tell you.. as soon as he was done, ALL of the pain and pressure I felt on the right side of my face was gone. My nose feels a million times better and the jewelry fits my swollen nose!! Turns out the wrong jewelry/size ring was used to pierce my nose. And it was bent. I knew the piercer at the unnamed tattoo shop had a difficult time getting it in, but had no idea she bent it. Long story short, I will never go anywhere but Hot Rod for any future piercings & jewelry purchases. Their jewelry selection is pretty awesome too! I will always recommend them to everyone. Tanner, if you see this.. thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. You are the best and I appreciate you so much!
