I had done some research on helix piercings, trying to find the best business to get my piercing…read moredone and how long recovery would take. I had read review after review of how amazing Amy was and when I went to book with her, I noticed she was booked a month or two out. While it took me about 4 years to get up the nerve to get my helix pierced, I am really glad Amy was my piercer. My sister and I decided to get our left ears pierced at the helix. Because my ears are significantly smaller than hers, I chose an 18K white gold star. She chose a much bigger earring with a beautiful 18k white gold butterfly. She loves the butterfly but has stated that she wished she got a smaller earring initially. She wears glasses and states that sometimes the stem of the glasses hits her earring and causes some discomfort for awhile. And we noticed that when we took our masks off, the ear loops caught on the back of the earring, so just be cautious of that. Amy explained everything thoroughly to us and answered all of my millions of questions. She used an 18 gauge needle and showed us how she sanitized the needle and the earring. Honestly, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. While it did hurt, I can honestly state that I preferred a needle over the piercing guns. To make sure that we were satisfied with the location of the helix piercing, she marked on our ears to show us what it would look like. We were able to look in a mirror and she adjusted it accordingly, as we saw fit. Before piercing our helixes, she used a light behind our helix area to make sure there were no blood vessels along that area. She stated that that can be the difference of bleeding a lot or bleeding very little. She thoroughly cleansed the area and allowed it to air dry completely. I am much more comfortable if I can exhale when someone sticks me; and not only did she state that that's what she does with everyone, she also allowed me to hold the mirror to watch as she stuck me. She shared detailed instructions on how to properly care for our ears and that it will probably take a year to completely heal. We didn't need to twist the earring around; but after a shower, spray the wound care on the front and back of the earring, to remove any residue. The very first day, our ears were a little red and swollen; but by the second day, the swelling had gone down tremendously and it hardly bothered us. 10 days later and our piercings are still doing fabulous!! I 100% recommend Amy!! I was willing to drive from Lexington KY to Louisville KY to get this done. And I am so happy that I drove the distance. One thing I would like to add, parking is behind the building and it isn't really marked very well. But I was able to match the street number to their address. Park and walk around to the front of the building and call the number on the door to let them know you are there. They have masks if you forget to bring your mask and want everyone to wear one.

They know what they are doing and knows how to handle and calm the first timer's anxiety. Jeff was pretty straight forward and I liked his professionalism. He told me that how the pain will feel and it will be not painful as I assumed. When he started, I felt a weird mix of pain and tickle sensations at the same time that I said to him, "That's It!, That's the Pain....! Hmmm..... weird but I can take it." He said yes and I just handled it like nothing is happening to my skin. LOL! I will recommend all the artists in here for the people who are first time. I am happy and glad that I went to Mother's tattoo and got my first tat. Thanks Jeff, you're the best!

You get nickel and dimed here for everything and charges aren't explained. Had my ears repierced…read morehere after one had closed. Jewelry that was put in was the type that inserts from the back and has a ball that screws in from the front. After they had healed and I went to change the jewelry one of the earrings had been screwed on so tightly I couldn't remove it. Stopped in to have them unscrew it. 30 seconds total (using a hemostat to clamp the earring to remove) and she charged me another $10. Nobody mentioned this charge at all when I asked if someone could try to unscrew it or when I was called back to have it done. Great way to drum up extra business. Secure the jewelry so tight you have to return and they have to remove it with a hemostat. Then tack on an additional fee. I've had other friends with bad up-charge experiences too. One friend called to see how much it would to have her ears pierced and was told $50 over the phone. She ended up getting double piercings thinking it would be $100 and walked out with a bill over $300! Be sure to ask what the total charges are before you even sit down and get it in writing if you have to use their services. Or better yet, go somewhere else.

This was one of the only parlors available for walk-ins, so my friend and i headed down. when i stepped inside, i immediately noticed how clean the shop was. It looked like it had been completely refurnished. Every artist had their own private station with a half wall so that you had the privacy to get your tattoo or piercing without anyone watching. Plus, our wait for being a walk-in was only about an hour. The tattoo process itself was also great. Our tattoo artist was Tommy, and he did amazing. He has a very light touch, so the tattoo barely hurt at all. The lines are clean, and after he wiped my tattoo down, he even went back to fill in tiny spots that he noticed weren't as full as the others. Overall, this place is amazing, and i now have a new piece with my best friend.

I went here to get my belly pierced, it was quick and easy. I was a walk in, so no appointment set…read moreahead of time, and I was in and out within 10-15 minutes. The belly piercing itself looks amazing, I get quite a few compliments on how centered the placement is. Before I got the piercing, my nerves were sort of high, so when he originally marked where he'd pierce, it was too far to the left, but I was too nervous to correct it. Thankfully, the piercer corrected himself after I stood in the mirror and it turned great, as well as making some jokes to ease the nerves. However, I will say that the jewelry isn't the best quality. After about a month with the piercing, the gem inside the top part of the jewelry fell out? Overall, I had a good experience and would go back again. The workers are cool, and pretty respectful. Maybe I'd go in with my own jewelry or bite the bullet and buy more expensive jewelry from them.

I was a little nervous about visiting an out-of-town tattoo shop that I only had information on via…read moreYelp. But, I checked out the shops and found Ink and Dagger. I saw they took walk-ins. My husband and I wanted to get a simple, matching tattoo. Not something you can easily mess up. We stopped in shortly after they opened and asked if they had availability. They said other artists were coming in and asked if we wanted to wait about 15 minutes. We had no problem waiting. Soon after, "Eddie" came in. He took our image, talked to us for a few moments, and said he had time to do our tattoos. Rock on. We were excited. He took his time to set up and made sure his entire station was clean and sanitary. My husband went first and after sizing up the tattoo and its location, he got to work. It didn't take him long to finish my husband's tattoo. Mine took just about as long. I've had enough tattoos to tell when someone either doesn't work hard enough to get enough ink or they work too hard and it feels like they're trying to dig through my skin. Eddie did a fantastic job! It's been a few days since and I have been so pleased with his work. I recommend this place and, should we head back to Louisville, will return to this location for another tattoo!

They just sold me some bunk low grade quality jewelry, same jewelry they pierced me with actually. Had to go to another shop to get it looked at they told me the quality was horrible and they've had to fix and help multiple people coming from red dragon tattoo. They also told me the white build up under my piercing was from the jewelry quality that they had pierced me with. maybe before getting a piercing here you should ask them the specs and actually quality of their jewelry and if you can see the paperwork on it so you can see for yourself. Overall experience over the past weeks after i received my piercing from them has been horrible in my experience and wouldn't recommend them to anyone especially after i found out how bad their jewelry really was.
