    All my face tats are from here - not disappointed with a single one. Get inked expeditiously

    Conch piercing

    So I've come in to this shop before a bunch of times, I've never had an issue and it's close by. I went in on Monday June 26th to get my conch pierced. Before my conch, I had 8 other piercings. My double helix, belly button, two lobe and one rook piercing I got here by Daniel and a boricua girl that used to work there, they did those for me here. I never had a problem with aftercare or anything, they healed beautifully and I loved them. I even got my first two tattoos here, again by Daniel. So I just went in that day after work and when I walked in, I was met by a rude Mexican chick, she was on the phone when I walked in so she didn't really care at first but then eventually she greeted me. She asked me what I wanted, asked for my ID, and whatever we went through the usual process. She went to go set up her station, so I waited and was just looking at the display they had. Instead of calling me over, she tapped on the glass and motioned for me to come over, which was kinda weird and rude not gonna lie lol. She was friendly once I was in the chair and we started chit chatting. I kinda knew the moment that the needle went through my ear, that the healing process was gonna suck, cause idk it didn't sound or feel right. Plus I had never been pierced by her and I had never seen her in the shop before, which gave me the impression that she might've been new. Once we were done I went to go pay, and I offered to give her a cash tip and I put it in her hand, she just sort of looked at it, kept her hand out as if she was waiting for more Left the shop with a bad taste in my mouth, cause this girl was really off putting and uptight for no reason. Anyways, the first two days after I got the piercing I had no problems at all, I cleaned it like I was supposed to and it hurt normally like any new piercing would. Come Thursday night, I was in a world of pain, my ear had swelled up like crazy, it was very red and hot, and I could not sleep that night from the pain. I knew it wasn't normal and the next day it was no better. I went Saturday to my dermatologist because it was only getting worse. Long story short, for the last month, I've had to deal with the gnarliest infection I've ever had PERIOD. Three dermatologist appointments, two sets of antibiotics, two topical skin infection creams, a hospital trip, and lots of pain meds and sleepless nights later, my ear is finally back to normal. I got off the antibiotics legit a week ago, I now I just have to continue to keep it clean to allow it to heal properly and prevent the infection from coming back .-. I don't know if it was the equipment that wasn't properly sanitized, or the wrong jewelry was used, an inexperienced piercer or even my anatomy, that was wrong, it's safe to say though, I'm pretty traumatized and I will never be coming back to this shop ever again. Shit cost me a ton of unnecessary money, time, and pain.

    I got my very first tattoo here. I was so nervous, Aaron did my tat and he was so professional and perfect and I felt no pain, very gentle. The entire staff is so cool definitely going back for my next tat.

    BEST IMAGINABLE EXPERIENCE! First of all, they accommodated me super last minute, which is already so nice... aaaand I was super happy to find out they do not use guns, which I've had such a bad experience with in the past... That's right, NEEDLES ONLY, which is the best way to do it! My piercer (is that the correct term?) was Angie, who is so incredibly sweet, patient, completely professional and clearly a MASTER of her craft. She has an incredible eye for placement and her super chill personality immediately puts you at ease in case you're a bit nervous. She's also so speedy and precise, to the point that everything I thought would be super painful was actually not bad at all, and I believe that's 100% a result of her steady hands. Just to elaborate on my specific amazing experience... I came to this establishment on a whim, the same day I decided I needed to get something pierced. I called an hour before I could get there and they so kindly said they'd fit me in. As I arrived I was still a bit uncertain of what areas I'd like to do, so I went for the third earlobe holes and tragus and after I got those done I decided to also get the septum done haha I'm not the easiest customer, I was bit nervous - the last time I'd gotten something pierced, I was 15 -, which ended up in a case of word vomit and indecision, and still Angie didn't make me feel like the freak I definitely behaved like. I'm also a very annoying perfectionist and despite the weird placement of the second holes I already had on my earlobes from years ago, she somehow managed to find the perfect spot for the third ones and made it seem so delicate and harmonious! Also I thought my tragus was a bit sad looking but she made me feel so good about it and it looks adorable now that it's pierced! The septum was also beautifully done, didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected, and in the end I decided to redo it, but not because it didn't look great, which it did, but just because I'm that annoying person who finds issues with everything, so it's definitely on me. Still, despite my crappy nature, they were so nice and will let me return in a couple weeks to get it redone! Overall, it's really hard to impress me this much, but they managed to do it, and I'm so very grateful!

    I'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.

    I got a tattoo by Shamil which was around 2 inches and simple line work and it was not the best. We…read morehad discussed and printed out exactly what the tattoo would be before hand. It's basically a hand snapping with little stars and planets around it. The problem is that the hand wasn't done as neatly as I would've liked it to be. The stars were not either, they are VERY simple stars. What left a bad taste in my mouth was after the tattoo was done I'd also realized he left some little but major details out. When I left the shop I observed my tattoo more and more until I realized and had to go back to tell him what he forgot. He apologized and added what was missing. As I started to leave the shop I realized he forgot to bandage me again, so I reminded him. Apologized again. Apologies are great and all but if you are in the profession of putting PERMANENT tattoos on peoples bodies you should be taking this WAY more seriously! Just my opinion! I will not go back. Also, if you are staff and look at a customer come into your shop.. SAY HELLO.
