    I've been to quite a few piercing and tattoo shops but I real appreciated my experience with the…read morepiercer here, Gina. She made me feel really comfortable the whole time and I would not hesitate to return to her. This day, I had my rook pierced (ear cartilage) and it was so quick and easy. I also requested that she change and replace the jewelry in my tragus (another ear piercing). Once she called me in, I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. She is the master piercer here and you could tell she knew what she was doing. The major difference between her and other places, is she will use beautiful starter jewelry. The curved bar she put in my newly pierced rook was a double ended prong gem and I was so excited and I am so pleased. Most places will use a standard barbell and you have to settle with that until it's healed and you can return to have it changed. Since she pierced with this, I am set for years. She also put a beautiful gem in my tragus. I think this is the best place to get pierced in Albany.

    This is my first tattoo, the experience is pretty good, although the artist is a little impatient…read moreduring the disscussion. The picture one shows the tattoo on the third day, I think the line is really lack of continuity and it looks not smooth. Overall it looks fine and the total cost was $120.

    I got a tattoo recently. My first. This is shocking to me still because I've turned this idea over…read morein my head for years. The conclusion was always the same. No. Can't do it. Then, an important occasion came up and I thought, why not memorialize it with a tattoo? Suddenly, the "no" became a "why not?" Then, the next question. Where to have this tat done? Well, if you look it up on Yelp, The Dead Presidents Lounge has rave reviews. So I called up. Next, I was asked to email what I was looking for. The manager took a look at my request and assigned me to an artist named Mel. There are about 10 artists working there. The art that I was asking for was very delicate. It turns out, Mel is awesome but full disclosure, she has a slogan. It's written on a sign in her tattoo room. "Always late but worth the wait." I arrived 15 minutes early. Mel arrived 20 minutes late. No worries. I brought lunch and ate it in the waiting area. I studied all of the sample tattoos on the walls. It was an interesting place with a Hindu vibe. It was explained to me that the business owner is Hindu. When Mel showed up, she arrived in a cheerful burst of energy and she immediately threw herself into the project. She presented me with options. We talked at length. She was very determined to deliver what I was looking for and very understanding. She has mad skills as both an artist and a communicator. She got it. And when she was done, it was perfect. A floral armband with a tiny blue butterfly was designed to look a bit like arm jewelry. The cost was $200. Mel was concerned that I would be in pain but actually it didn't hurt much. She gave me instructions on how to take care of the tattoo so that it doesn't get infected or dry out. As I was getting ready to leave I asked Mel about her thoughts on Asian fantasy animals. She smiled. "So you're already thinking about your next tattoo?" she asked. " I get that a lot." Yup. She got me. After years of putting off getting a tattoo, I may be back soon enough to get a tattoo on my other arm. Thanks, Mel and The Dead Presidents Lounge for your remarkable work.

She messed up some lining on one of my tattoos and I requested for it to be fixed. Her response was terrible. The one comment that stays with me from her and was very hurtful is she stated that "I'll do whatever satisfies your LITTLE brain". Not only was that unprofessional, but unkind and she lacks accountability. As a person of color I would not go back to her for several reasons that I don't want to state to tarnish their reputations. But take a look on their pages and feel free to judge

We wanted a reputable place that doesn't use a pressure gun won't give us an infection. Lucky for us, Cold River Body Arts was open. We called ahead and we were told that walk-ins are welcome. We were met by Gene. He's the business owner and he does piercings. For starters, the Victorian building is beautiful. Cold River occupies the entire building. It looks clean and welcoming. Gene spends time to talk with his clients to make sure he understands what they are looking for and to make sure they understand the procedures. He wants them to know that the process is sanitary and his tools are all sterilized in the autoclave which he keeps nearby. Breathing is important to this process. Gene explains how to breath. Just as he was about to pierce my ear he asked me to inhale, then exhale. That worked well. Of course, it stung a little afterwards. Gene follows up with an explanation of how to care for the piercing. The titanium post he put in will have to remain for three months before I can switch it out for another earring. He is very careful. He even made sure to ask if my daughter was over 18 because she looks so young. We really appreciated the time and care he put into explaining his work. Getting a piercing can be a bit scary, but Gene's efforts helped instill trust. Plus, he has a great sense of humor and put us at ease. Wishing Gene continued success. If you are looking at add a piercing, Cold River is well worth looking into.

When I was 18 I picked this terrible tattoo off the wall and had it on my back and wanted it covered up. I told Nick what I wanted, showed him some cartoons I drew, but wanted it in an art style I wasn't capable of drawing. Nick designed the tattoo far better than I could have ever imagined and I am very very picky. He was able to cover the other tattoo and you would never know it was a coverup unless I told you. Even my Mom who HATES tattoos said "I have to admit this is pretty cool." I would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is great. The other artists working were extremely friendly as well. I love the work, he was very professional and enjoyable to be around, and highly skilled. I couldn't recommend him or Ms. Dixie's more.

When I got to the door it read Closed. I went back to my car and proceeded to call the shop 3 times getting the voicemail ass 3 times. I will not be giving someone my business who ignores calls and customers.
