Friendly Staff Professional Service Sterile Instruments Fair Pricing

The piercer was very friendly and professional. All instruments were sterile and my nose piercing healed great using his advice on cleaning maintenence. Very fair pricing too. Thanks again!

Tattoo Artist Indian Tattoo

Paul, owner was very good at what he does. He did an awesome on my tatoo. I was scared before as it’s an Indian Tatoo and it’s my first time. He was patient and did an awesome work on my hand. I would recommend him for any of the Indian tattoos for sure.

I had a foot tattoo done. It is good. My artist was nice. One of the other artists was very obnoxious and annoying.

Bad Tattoo Unprofessional Behavior Poor Customer Service

I have gotten one tattoo from this place and it was a big mistake. I went in to get my daughter's hands tattoo on my arm One hand looks like a lighting bolt
went through one finger. Before he started the tattoo, I mentioned to him I didn't want that part of the because it looks like she has a extra finger. He laughed and said no I'm not gonna put that on your arm. Guess what he did. Then when the tatt was done He told me because of the job it was his fault he won't charge me full price on this tatt,
And he will fix it for no cost. Well he didn't live up to his word. When I kept calling him for weeks he told me it was my fault, I should've mentioned it to him before. Now I can't even find this dude.

Misogynistic Owner Poor Quality Work

Owner is very resentful toward women! Openly! If you're a woman I would be very weary! His work is not great either after looking at it online.
