The piercer who originally did it had pierced it incorrectly, and the L-shaped stud was bent, which was causing all the irritation.

I got my helix piercing done here last summer and I advise some caution in doing it here. The place…read moreitself is very nice and clean plus the piercer who did it was very kind. However I believe he truly messed up the piercing itself. For context I already at one done so I understood the healing process and everything. Immediately after the piercing I noticed the bar was a little short especially considering it is supposed to be longer to account for swelling and then after a couple of weeks you are supposed to downsize. I thought maybe my ear just swelled right after the piercing so I let it go. I noticed very quickly that it was just too short of a bar to allow for proper healing. I tried to take it out after two months of dealing with throbbing pain. But since this jewelry was a twist earring and my ear was swollen it was impossible to remove myself. I had to go to another piercing shop to get it removed and get a new piece the correct size put in. The new piercer acknowledged that I was in fact pierced with the wrong size bar. But I was like at this point it has been so painful I just wanted to move on. However a year later of taking care of this piercing I am continuously dealing with issues of pain and swelling. I truly believe it has to do with how the initial person at this shop pierced me. This is very disappointing to write because I truly believe it is important for people to know and how even a year later I am still dealing with issues with this piercing but my first helix piercing is perfect and I never dealt with these things.

I'm am replying To Anthony B!!! My name is Joseph As for me when it comes to tattooing i always put my heart and soul in my work! My intentions is only here to try my best, so this is why im here to explain! First of all we had schedule to start between 11am-12pm! As for me when it comes to bigger pieces i prefer to start the earliest as possible to take my time n be on a clear midset! Second of all i always give a my client a text early in the morning or nite before to confirm our appointment! So when i did for my client, he responded 1 or 3 even after we had discussed a perfect time and day n explained the process for the session! I had to explain once again! This shit aint no in n out or burger king n come whenever u want just because u put a deposit! I understand sometimes shit happens or lil traffic but with no heads up or text, that shit aint koo! In 1-3 hours i could have done another koo tattoo or two and make the most out of my day! I got bills to pay too ! Third of all he asked me if its okay to drink alcohol before n i had said no just for the fact that i didnt know who he was, never tattooed him or know his reactions! I personally do not drink or like the smell and taste! After the stencil was on he asked to get something to eat, comes back with a coke bottle? Throughtout the whole tattoo breathing n blowing air in face smelling like liquor made it super uncomfortable n difficult to stay focused after I repeatedly told him to stop or breath the other way! Thru the whole process he kept asking to take a bathroom break after i repeatedly explain myself on best to take 1 hour or 1 hour 30 min breaks to make the process more smoother! What got me more upset was he was yelling and grunting (muthafucker) towards me after I had told him to stop several times! Everyone knows I have a lot of patience when it comes to people but when there like this, its like come on bro? This shit is going on you forever, he had also asked if this was going to take 1-2 hours! ‍ i was already devastated since the beginning knowing i was putting my full effort into someone like this especially for the price! Took me bout 6-7 hours tattooing and 3-5 hours preparing! For something like this should be worth at least $800 read more

This was my worst shop I ever been to. I've been tattooed a lot of places and wanted to check out the local shop by my house. I walked up and the short bald shirtless homie out front smoking a cigarette asked what I wanted. I told him some script on the back of head. He smelled like Fucking booze and started to tell me his prices for script. I tried telling him I wanted to see some portfolios first. I've had bad script done and figured this place was good for it. He then told me he was the only artist available that day and that I'd have to get it from him. Long story short I didn't like the way he was pushing on me. When I told him to get out of my way he started shouting SKIN HEAD SKIN HEAD SKIN HEAD and kicking the brick wall and telling me to leave. Screw this place. There's better shops out there homie not run by Nazis If Yelp let you cuss i would write more read more

Amazing Experience! Eli is an absolute legend! I got my Medusa piercing done by him, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was chill, welcoming, and just the right balance of professional and fun. Eli has this amazing energy that instantly puts you at ease. The piercing healed beautifully thanks to his expert care and guidance. As an Aussie just visiting, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and now I'm already planning my next trip back just to see Eli for another piercing! If you're considering getting pierced, Eli is your guy! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy piercer. read more

It's done. I'm sorry this happened but it's done. After a December 9th hearing, one of the co-owners had his former employee return my deposit. I forwent the court fees as it was not about the money. It took the better part of a year to get a deposit refunded and even then only because the sum was negligible and judged correctly by the defendants to be an unprofitable disputation, a further waste of time. Which is what this was ultimately, a waste of time. Do with this information what you will when checking out this place. read more
