Called a few days later cause I thought it was too swollen and needed a longer bar, came in to get checked and she seemed irritated that I didn't when all I wanted to do was make sure since I paid for this piercing and it's also prone to rejecting anyways lol I called again to figure out the size of bar I had so I could order some for when I'm healed. Didn't know the answer , couldn't help me , I felt embarrassed so I haven't tried to ask them anything since again, they are not welcoming. (Also the old lady with short grey hair was drinking a beer while doing tattoos lol)

The person communicating with me was knowledgeable and patient enough to answer my questions/concerns. The place was a little chaotic with different tattoo artists in one place attending to their own customers/clients. There is, however, 2 people that would welcome and direct you where to go and that's very helpful. The person who did my piercing was very friendly and made sure to explain the process before, during and after (e.g. how to take care of my piercing so it heals properly). A couple of weeks later from the time I got my ear pierced, it got so swollen that my skin swallowed the stud and I had to pull it out last night. It might be a user error but that was so painful and I would not want to put myself through that pain again. LOL!

I got a tattoo here recently and I could not be more pleased with outcome!…read more The whole process from my initial contact with the shop to the aftercare instruction was very smooth and professional. I contacted Oz through Instagram and he scheduled a time for me to come in for a consultation just a couple days later. The consultation was quick, but didn't feel rushed. Oz was a great listener and finished his design after I had left. When I showed up on the day of my appointment, I was thrilled to see what he had come up with! I wasn't happy with the initial placement (my own fault), but Oz was patient with me as I battled my own pros and cons list of each place that I might move the piece to. Oz was quick and precise. He is definitely not heavy handed, but he got the color to stick with what appeared to be no effort! Very impressed with his talent and techniques. And his lines are **crisp** At the end of the process, Oz gave me two options for how I wanted to heal my tattoo. When I told him I preferred the old fashioned way, he gave me all the products I would need for the aftercare! My tattoo healed up beautifully The shop itself was clean and well maintained. They had music playing and tv's on, but it was still calm and quiet. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get some beautiful work done!

Came back tonight to get a tattoo I've been wanting for some time (the Sawyer S) and that super nice guy from the other day saw to it that it was tattooed on me! I had originally wanted some black S with an oval around it, all black, just lines. Nothing more, nothing less. He went above and beyond. He gave me a nice size, shading to make it look 3D, it wasn't some line work like I had planned on, it's an actual piece! And the price! Made sure he got a nice tip for his time and talent and delivering a way better tattoo than what I had originally gone in for!
