When we arrived, we were greeted by a very pleasant young girl, regretfully, I cannot remember her name. She was very helpful both with our introduction and check out, including the after care instructions. Alex was very helpful, professional and quite personable. My son (17 years old, legal in VT with my consent) was very much at ease and comfortable during the whole process. Alex's work is gorgeous. He took my son's design, kept it true to form but by adding his artistic, professional touch, he brought it to life. Came out better than we could have ever imagined. I found the work area very clean. His pricing is fair and he gave it to us upfront! Will not only recommend Alex and Mountainside Tattoo but am planning on being a repeat customer!

Though there is also piercing at Pygmalion's, I've only worked with tattoo artist Jeremy McIntosh…read more I'm very loyal to Jeremy McIntosh's work. I've had about sixty hours of work done at Pygmalion's Tattoo by Jeremy over the years. Though he's very adept in a variety of artistic styles, I am particularly fond of his tattoos that are in a vintage comicbook style, which draws from his vast body of superhero knowledge and media resources. Most of the ink he's laid into me is in this style, and it draws admiring looks and compliments all the time. I am nowhere near good at drawing, and there have been several occasions when I've come into the shop with a very badly-rendered idea and Jeremy takes it away for an hour and comes back with something gorgeous that he's drawn up. Jeremy will always tell me the truth about how to get the best results, regarding size, placement, colors, and composition of whatever tattoo idea I've conceived of. He's saved me a lot of unfortunate ideas over the years! The shop is immaculate, with a lot of fun things to look at, and there's always good music playing and a comfortable waiting area. Another plus is that Jeremy is very thorough with his aftercare instructions. The shop is up a flight of stairs, directly over the best pizza place in Greenfield. Jeremy is a talented tattoo artist and is very pleasant to work with. You do not have to be like Chuck Norris and eat pain for breakfast; Jeremy understands that the tattooing process is a labor of love for both the artist and recipient. He takes his time, and he is a perfectionist, which are two qualities I appreciate regarding something that I will wear embedded in my flesh for life. Jeremy specializes in custom tattooing, and he also does the most amazing cover-ups. Jeremy can make sure that nobody else will have the same tattoo as the one he gives you, and he will also make sure that your tattoo rocks.

I've been going to Dell for years--since I was 12 years old. Unfortunately, after my recent…read moreexperience, I won't be returning. About a month ago I got a dermal piercing. This past Tuesday, the top fell off while I was cleaning it with a Q-tip. I called immediately, and the receptionist told me she would message me if an opening became available. I never heard back. I went to another piercer in Montpelier to see if they could help, but they couldn't. After waiting three days with no response from Angelina's Rose, I called again and explained that another piercer had told me it would likely be too late to save the piercing if it healed over. Instead of being seen promptly, I was offered an appointment a week later--even though by then the piercing would likely have closed, leaving surgical removal as my only option. I explained that if there were no appointments available, I was willing to come in and wait for an opening. I was finally told there was time to come in today at 10:00 a.m. When I arrived, the first thing Dell said was that I must have been touching the piercing because he "screws them on really tight." I tried to explain that it happened while I was cleaning it, but he interrupted me and said he already knew what I was going to say and that I must have been playing with it because "there's no other way" and that this had never happened to anyone else. The conversation quickly became unprofessional. He called me entitled because of the way I spoke to the receptionist. While I admit I was frustrated, I was not yelling, swearing, or being disrespectful--I was simply trying to get help before my piercing closed. I then asked why I had been told to come in at 10:00 a.m. if he had already decided he wasn't going to help me. He could have told me that over the phone and saved me the trip. His response was that when he has "shit to talk about someone," he says it to their face. I found that response incredibly unprofessional. He then told me I was no longer welcome at the shop, called me disrespectful, and refused to help me. As a result, my dermal will now likely need to be surgically removed. I also brought up that I didn't feel the receptionist had treated me kindly. Dell told me they had cameras and had reviewed the conversation, insisting she had done nothing wrong. I got the impression they were backing each other up rather than listening to my concerns, so I didn't feel like I was being heard. I told him I was glad there were cameras because I know I remained calm and never yelled or acted aggressively. To make matters worse, this isn't the first issue I've had. He pierced my second nostril crooked the first time, and I had to pay to have it repierced, even though the mistake wasn't mine. I'm incredibly disappointed with how I was treated. I've been a loyal customer for years, and I expected much better communication, professionalism, and customer service. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this shop.
