I thought no biggie…read moreI've changed my piercing before, when I get home I will put it back in.I went to put my hoop back in it wouldn't budge. My hole had closed over in a matter of hours! My hoop was a thin dainty 22 gauge and I wanted to keep it or something similar. I called several places but no one had anything that size. I walk into Forever Ink, entrance was in the back was immediately greeted and spoke to Malakai. He was so nice and took the time to explain everything to me. Malakai tried to taper the piercing so he wouldn't have to re-pierce it but it turns out a nostril piercing can close very quickly. Well, that went downhill faster than a fat kid on a snow tube. Bummer. Malakai was the best! He was very kind and took the time to explain everything. I appreciate his direct no non-sense approach. Piercings are wounds and wound care is not something to play around with. I for one want someone who is knowledgeable and takes the time to make me feel comfortable. I don't understand the bad reviews, I suppose he might come across a little rough around the edges, but it's obvious he is very caring and wants the customer to leave happy. Everything was sterile and clean. Everyone there was so nice and the shop just had a good vibe. Cash only but there is an ATM on site. Piercing was quick and price was very fair. I would definitely come here again for more piercings or if I ever decide to not chicken out on a Tatt. Highly recommend. If you found this review helpful, please show some love!

Mike and his crew didn't flinch--just nodded like, "Say less." That's professionalism. Quality: Sharp tools. Steady hands. Surgical precision.

Can't say enough great things about the shoppe, the owners and my artist, Bryan. Sara at the front desk is awesome. I had a lot of changes I wanted to make to my design the day of the appointment.

You must make it life when ChatGPT identifies you as the best coverup artist in NJ (a fact). I reached out and had a consultation. We talk designs and ideas. We briefly spoke about a flat rate because my piece was large. Paid the deposit fee and scheduled the appointment. Then I heard nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Phone calls and emails with "he will call you back" and never did. Then at 2AM the morning of my appointment I finally got the drawn photo concepts back. Not thrilled and took up as much time as possible making sure it was good: Tattooing itself was fine. Finished and given after care instructions. I was told in about 2 weeks someone would reach out to book a follow up checkup because it is such a large piece. Nothing. I call; "he is actually with someone. He will contact you back" nothing. Nothing. Nothing. And Nothing. Fast forward TWO MONTHS. I call. Finally get Someone . Explain the entire thing, and what am I told? "Send us a message in Insta and we will decide if you need a follow up". But that wasn't what was told? currently still waiting to be messaged back. The work is fabulous, but the follow through is iffy at best.

I am very pleased with how they turned out and am even more excited to see how they heal. I promised to follow the instructions to the "t", I think that is very important in how they turn out. First I want to say she is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. She truly cares about making sure you get exactly what you want, she really has a great eye. She took her time to make sure they were perfect. Judy has such a sweet spirit and is very knowledgeable and talented and you will definitely feel comfortable and taken care of while in her office. Second, I feel extremely blessed to have spent the last few hours with her. God has gifted her greatly. *update* (a little less than 5 weeks later) My eyebrows healed wonderfully and I just got home from my complimentary touch up, which went very well. Judy is just amazing. She is a perfectionist which is definitely something you want in her field. She's so smart and knowledgeable, and truly cares about doing her absolute best job to give you the best outcome.
