I want to like this place. I really do. They have some of the best deals and some of their artists…read moreare pretty good. But it is so unorganized and SLOW! If you're going to have a flash sale, you should have enough artists that can accommodate the influx in business. The owner just putts around, pretending to be busy, rather than helping out his already stressed out team. It's also pretty unprofessional to ask your artists to have their appointment, who is already there, WAIT while you tattoo a walk in.

I have taken some time to think about writing this because I understand that reviews can harm a…read morebusiness, however I want to share my experience so customers understand what they are getting themselves into. I originally went to Coopa Creations to get a tragus piercing. The girl did an amazing job and it was an awesome time. It's been about a week since then and I have had no complications. Earlier this morning the front ball of the piercing fell off and was nowhere to be found. The girl at Coopa is only there on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I live close to good and evil so I stopped in to see if they had a replacement and could fix it for me. There was only two people there, and one of them was working on a tattoo. The other was not doing anything, and when I said what I needed he seemed like he did not want to do it and asked the other guy to. The guy tattooing said he was busy and he would appreciate it if he could do it. I took a seat and waited ten minutes for him to set up a room. I understand I was a walk in appointment, but he went out to smoke and was talking to people. It almost seemed like he was procrastinating seeing me. He finally came in and reeked of cannabis. He was looking at it and tried on the ball, in which it did not fit. He then did this three more times. He kept trying different piercings in which nothing would fit. He said he knew what he needed but could not find it. He got so frustrated that he was shouting fuck repeatedly. He then yelled for the guy who was tattooing and said he could not find the piece he needed. The other guy stood up from where he was working, grabbed the right piece and gave it to him immediately. The guy still seemed frustrated and angry. He was shaking when trying to put the ball back on. He was pulling at the piercing aggressively trying to maneuver my ear, knowing I told him it was a fresh piercing. I had tears in my eyes when he finally got it. He did not treat me like a person. It was so painful and that thought never crossed his mind. The other guy tattooing apologized for his anger and didn't make me pay for the jewelry ball replacement. I am now writing this a couple hours later, and my piercing that had no complications prior is now swollen, throbbing, and bleeding non-stop. An easy fix was extremely complicated and handled unprofessionally. I wouldn't recommend anything about this place. I just felt so uncomfortable the whole time and now I am suffering the consequences of someone's carelessness. I am sorry again, I know reviews can harm businesses but I think people should know this about the staff of this place before going in for a body modification.

He creates something out of the pile of ideas I send him and never disappoints. He curates a welcoming and relaxing environment and doesn't fail to keep his hand relatively light and the experience short. It's all your own preference, but I never feel as though I am alone through the process, he has the ability to make conversation with a wall or just be the wall. I have first-hand seen him interact with unexpected costumers and been touched by how he can kindly answer questions that might seem obvious to others. I can't wait to work with him again. I just got a tattoo done today, but have added a picture of a memorial tattoo that he did for me a couple years back.

One of my piercings took over 10 minutes and he told me after he did the piercing that he usually tells people that he wouldn't do this piercing because it's so tough and that he had only done it on two other people, yet he still decided to do it. Also, he told me afterward that he used numbing cream that I didn't ask for. They gave me no aftercare instructions and it was just an overall bad experience. I recommend going somewhere else if possible!

I 1000% recommend.

You call the shop when you arrive because the doors are secure so next time I'll call from the car. Being in Maine the weather is unpredictable and there's plenty of parking directly in front of the entrance. The shop is very clean and organized. You use an ipad to electronically complete the necessary information forms and disclosures. By the end of my session all artists were there tattooing someone so it was a full house but still comfortable. Can't wait to book another session!

It's the second floor of a house, and you genuinely feel like you've been welcomed into a home. And then the artists...are spectacular in really every way.

On top of all that, their prices are super reasonable. Getting inked can be super nerve wracking, particularly if it's your first time. I can't imagine a better studio than Tsunami to put you at ease. Seriously I can't recommend them highly enough.
