I think I might've fallen in love with Abbi a bit when she did my tattoo. Not only is she incredibly talented, she's also just an awesome human being. Also, my daughter has gotten 2 piercings here and my son has gotten 1 tattoo (also by Mike) and they were all great experiences. Definitely found my tattoo home in Charlotte.

I had already read rave reviews about her and her work, so I felt super comfortable with her! Not once did I question the sanitation of the environment or any of their methods. She was very informative and knowledgeable and explained everything I needed to know. This is my second nostril piercing, so she took extra time and care into lining up the two piercings as much as possible. She did a fantastic job! Detailed aftercare instructions were provided (LITHA - leave it the hell alone!) I can't be happier and I highly recommend Tee for any of your body piercing needs!!

Forever Yours Tattoo is the premier tattoo place to come in Matthews NC. From the introductory call…read moreto the aftercare guidance April was exceptionally personable and professional. I am thankful for the entire experience I had getting my first tattoo. April provided me with education regarding the tattoo choice, set up of the station, mantiaining a sterile environment, to the process of tattooing. From the moment I walked into the prestine tattoo parlor, I felt a welcoming vibe. April continued to guide me from beginning to end. April shared videos and real life examples of the different stages of the healing process. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The type of art they do is top notch and detailed. You will be matched with an artist that fits your needs and get quality service from start to finish. An additional plus is that they will be available for questions after the work is done.

But thought, how bad can an earlobe piercing be?! The employees were all nice and quick First He put dots with pen where it will be. 1st time one ear was closer to face, he changed it and then called another girl for her opinion if it looks good. They both said yes. I specifically asked him, Shouldn't it be more further, and he said no. This is my first piercing so I didn't know anything about it, so I trusted the piercer that he would know. Also Owner wrote in Natalies review that Piercer has 20year experience lol BUT 1st-the piercings were not measured so they are different on both ears 2nd the piercing was done at an angle and its too low on the back. 3rd- Piercings should have been done higher and further from face. Next day, I Went to another location to get professional advice and piercer told me she couldn't believe any piercer would do that! She said , He has no idea what he is doing and he is unqualified to pierce at all! Now I have to heal them so the piercing closes and re- do it at another place! This piercer HAS NO IDEA HOW TO PIERCE CORRECTLY! Photos dont lie!!! Irina GO BLACK CLOUD TATTOO MATHEWS- MARY V. Does amazing job! Waited 3 weeks and she pierced it today Perfectly!

I was not told the price till my appointment. They wanted 600 dollars. Right now I should have walked out and got my deposit back. I finally negotiated the amount down to get some of my arm tattooed. They literally charged me three hundred and sixty dollars. Including tax to only get very little color shaded in and outlined. I paid less than that to get my half sleeve tattooed. Not only was Leilani not professional but she tried to charge me more before I caught her doing what she did. I thought she was nice at first. Ohhh was I wrong. She told me my tattoo looked horrible and we can make it look a lot better for this price. The lady who tattooed me was nice and I could tell was uncomfortable with the pricing that she was not in control of. Leilani wife of Al was not at all concerned about my experience. I was very unhappy with my results. I would never recommend anyone to you guys. I have already persuaded several people to not go there. You guys need to go back up north. People in the south are real hard working people that don't appreciate getting walked on. You guys are not fair. Stop thinking you guys are sooo cool that you can over price people. Hey college kids don't go there you will get ripped off. There are a lot of better places to go to that will give you a better experience and a fair price. Go see nacho. Love him!!! Excellent work and skin stations in Monroe. I am very disappointed in this place. I was hoping I would meet real people who care about the experience and want repeat customers. I never felt that at all and I have a lot of tattoos and experience and this place is be far the worst place I ever have gone to get a tattoo. They don't even deserve one star. No one should pay 150 for an hour with anyone to get a tattoo. I don't care if you have been in tv. You guys are awful and I hope you lose business and people read my review.

I would definitely consider Kat for any other piercing or tattoo needs!
