East Coast Tattoo & Body Piercing

Just got my first piercing, an industrial bar here. Josh was really cool and the place is nice. Very clean def. recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to get work done. 👌👍

Gerald is a fantastic, talented artist. His detail is unlike any other, I could not be happier with my tattoo. Plan on going for another as soon as this heals. Keep up the good work, fellas!

The girl who did my Conch piercing was the nicest girl ever!! Literally so sweet, I would definitely go back just to have her again!!!!

I went in there super excited to set up an appointment for a cover up. I hate to give a terrible review. There are very talented artists here so my review is not aimed at everyone. I don't know the gentleman's name that I talked, but he was not friendly at all. I came in and greeted him, and not knowing I stood in front of the TV. He makes a hand gesture telling me to move out of the way. He looked like he couldn't be bothered with what I had to say. Then I asked if he had any suggestions for cover up ideas. He says " Here is a suggestion you need to have an idea of what you want" Well I asked for a suggestion because I know cover ups are limited to certain ideas. Needless to say that one encounter was enough to turn me away from making an appointment.

I called ahead a few days before i wanted to get a helix piercing and they said i could just walk in and id be all set. The day comes when i want to go and get it done, and the lights are dimmed in the store and the door is locked, but someone was sitting inside. I went online to check the hours and it said it was open until 8pm that night; it was 6:30 when i got there. I then called and asked what time they were open until that night and whoever picked up rudely hung up on me.

Ive never been here before but i sure as hell will never even consider this place ever again. Not after some horrible customer service!

This is one of the worst places I have ever been too!!! I had called ahead of time to see if they would be open to get a helix piercing and the man said he only does walk - ins and the last piercing he would do was at 7:00 and I get there at 5:30 and I walk up to he door and the lights were dim and the door was locked and I tried to call again to see if I heard them wrong and no one answered... the next day I call again and they say once again the last piercing they will do is at 5:00 and I get there at 2:30 and go up and all the lights are off and and the door is locked and the open sign is off!! I call once again to see if I was wrong and there was no answer!! And I look inside and there was a dog lying on the couch... no food no water!!! And there was Wendy’s cup and food!!! I will never consider going to this place ever again!!

Great experience! They were very polite both on the phone and in person. They did a great piercing job and I plan on going back. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Amazing customer service prices are affordable for the quality of work that you will be receiving hands-down ask for Vic

I found these guys to be very unhelpful. I emailed from THEIR website to see if they had experience with white tattoos and about how much they cost. They emailed me back that I have to call or come into the shop. That is a $50 deposit that goes toward your tattoo. Then they told me any other questions to CALL the shop.
Why do they have a form to email them on their website if they want people to call? And they never answered my question so I am going to assume they don't have the experience needed. Customer service is not their strong suit apparently.

The artist was talented and the location was definitely strict with covid rules(in a safe way).
However, we drove over an hour to get here (coming from a funeral) and once we arrived, we got an email asking us to come later than our set appointment. We would've canceled all together, rather than waiting 45 minutes, but we had already given a $100 non-refundable deposit. That was red flag number one. Upon sitting down in my chair, I put my arm in somebody else's ink. Red flag number two. But, I couldn't afford to lose my deposit and go somewhere else. The artist recleaned the area and began working. Upon leaving, it definitely looked overworked. There were spots you could tell that had been gone back over and appeared like deep divots in my skin. I continued to care for it carefully (cleaning on schedule, unscented anti bacterial soap, unscented lotion). This is my 6th and smallest tattoo and I have never had any issues before, I usually heal fast and I know how it should look healing. It never began to rise above the skin as they normally do when healing. It appeared to get deeper each day and it got red and inflamed around the area. In day two small pustules began popping up. However, I have now been prescribed a steroid lotion as my tattoo looks infected, and an artist I had look at it closer to home believes it is going to scar in some areas. I'm devastated as this was a tattoo to remember my Dad, who passed this month, that my cousin and I both got. It's in a visible space on my wrist so I can't even get it covered up, as I don't want something large there.

When you call the shop it'll ring the first time (they won't answer), and when you call back, the line rings busy. Almost as if they unhook the phone. There is never an option to leave a voicemail. Upon messaging, the artist will occasionally reply but usually leaves you on "read".

Definitely do your research before selecting this location.
