Ocean Wave Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Navarre, Florida

I have had multiple friends and myself now have terrible experiences getting piercings at this shop. The piercer easily became argumentative and uncomfortable to be around if you suggested different placement or preferences. I have received and successfully healed around 30 piercings and this was my first time having one reject. The process was unsanitary and the piercer was uncomfortable to work with, I really want to emphasize he doesn't use clamps. This made the experience more painful and traumatic to the skin. I totally get wanting to portray yourself as different, hard, or bad*ss in utilizing free handed piercings, however, it makes the piercing about impossible to heal and the process more painful. I've been going to All About Ink for a few years now and I've had everything down to surface piercings heal successfully with their methods. Honestly though even if the piercer had used a clamp, different gloves in between different people, cleaned, or higher quality jewelry, his personality alone would be a reason not to go back. I have never in my life asked for different placement and been met with an actual argument. If you're this insecure about your, as YOU said, "25 years of doing this sh*t," maybe this isn't the career field for you. I didn't even know you could mess up earlobe piercings until I met David. Rest assured, him and his, "25 years of experience doing this Sh*t," found a way and they're actually crooked. read more

I came here weeks ago for a second lobe piercing with my mom and yesterday I got a matching tattoo with my dad. The services provided were great, very clean studio with lots of cool artwork. Comfy couches. Nice receptionist. However, the piercer and tattoo artist (the same man and owner, David Pearce) was awful and ruined the entire experience. Dave was incredibly rude and complaining multiple times during both of my visits. He kept lamenting about how he's so busy and annoyed at everyone. It was ridiculous. He made us feel like a burden for coming to give him business. I can understand feeling a certain way about being very busy with life things, especially when you have a trip coming up, as he mentioned he did. But be an adult and take care of your things in a timely manner, and if that can't be done don't complain about it to your customers repeatedly. I should've asked if we got a discount; he has a sign in his room that says "25 cents for whining". We could've at least save a few bucks! Although the work was good, I would never come back simply due to the owner's, Dave, attitude. If you do come here, ask for anyone but him. The other gentleman seemed much more pleasant. There are too many great tattoo/piercing shops to give money to someone that repeatedly complains about having a lot of business. read more

Dave and Jen are AMAZING! We went for Friday the 13th tattoos and it was busy which was to be expected. But Jen made sure that she was consistently updating the guests on the wait. Dave did both my sister and I's tattoos and was super friendly. Even though it was busy, he made sure to pay attention to detail and still engage in conversation. We will definitely be back! read more

I really wanted to love this place but I just can't . I was so excited to get my Medusa back and I went in and was asking a professional for help to see if he thought my hole was still open or did it need to be done . The amazing lady at the front counter was absolutely so sweet She told me just to wait a second while he finished up( he was just drawing on his iPad literally cussing it out, saying how much he didn't wanna do that fucking tattoo.) . Finally started talking to me as soon as he started to ask me what I wanted. It seems like I was already a problem for being there. I was like hey I would like to get it pierced today if possible if not, I completely understand i didn't make an appointment. I was the only person there BTW. . He pretty much walked to the back and asked if I was coming . I get to the back room I could tell that he was annoyed that I was even there didn't ask me what jewelry I wanted or anything just picked for me which that's whatever and proceed to grab lip and told me I need to relax which I understand but it's really hard when there's a hand in your mouth. Anywhere I've ever been always had metal tools like clamps. So this was a first for me. . Proceed to tell me she'll take your money at the front counter not thank you for coming by , How do you like it nothing. I got to the front counter and she asked me how much he asked for and I said he didn't give me a price . The whole experience was so unprofessional. I've been to so many different shops. I've never experienced anything like that somebody that's in an industry that makes money off of their clients. I just cannot comprehend why he treated me so poorly. I was just there to give my hard earned money to a business, I thought that was gonna be great. Like I said the lady at the front counter was absolutely amazing but the guy definitely needs a reality check. I just can't imagine being that mad 24/7 . If you hate it that much it might be time to close shop respectfully..... read more

The service is amazing, great people and artists. The vibe of the whole place and everyone together makes it a great experience. we had an appointment for medium and small tattoos but they got bigger and were still able to be fit in in a small amount of time. read more

Ocean Wave Tattoo - one of the five that got done. - Tattoo Near Me - Navarre, Florida

Came in to get a piercing. Initially, it seemed like a good experience until later that evening the ball on the earring fell out. Because they close so early I had to call another tattoo piercing shop to screw the ball back on. Two days later it came back off again and I went back to the same place that helped me initially to just change out the jewelry. Found out it wasn't even the correct size of the jewelry to use for the type of piercing I got. Very low quality jewelry as well. read more

I had Dave fix what the first guy from Michigan screwed up! I had a lower back tattoo done back in 2007 and he made it crooked, it always bothered me and never showed it to anyone cause I was embarrassed. I showed it to Dave one day and he said he could fix it and make it look better. Wow did he ever!! He somehow made it look perfectly straight, and like it was never messed up in the first place. Now I can show it off anytime. It didn't even hurt like it did with the 1st guy. I'm so glad I asked if there was anything he could do. He was super respectful, friendly, and light handed he didn't gouge into my skin and make me bleed like the 1st guy did. I want to go back and get more now!! The colors are so vibrant and stand out now. Thanks again Dave your amazing! read more
