I’ve had all of my tattoos so far done by Tony (Anthony). All of them look amazing and have healed nicely! Tony is always so nice a great person to talk to while getting tattooed, highly recommend! Fair prices and all of my piercings from here have healed nicely!

My daughter (8) had her ears pierced this weekend. She was nervous but comfortable getting it done here. Ryan talked her through it and explained every step to her. It was a great experience. 🙂

ive gotten most of my piercings here, and my stars are only for the male piercer. the young woman thats usually behind the counter for jewelry needs is just unnecessarily rude. she’s probably an apprentice but i dont think clients would take it too well when she gives attitude about needing to get something out of a display because its going to be bought when i was trying to make sure that she didnt put it on the same tab as my piercing that i just got (situations where its just woahh dude im just making sure, asked if the only plugs they had on display were the only ones they had and instead of saying yeah she reworded what i said in a condescending explanation as if i didnt understand). i got my belly button pierced by the woman piercer, she’s insanely rough and will probably upcharge you if youre a woman. my belly button was my most painful piercing purely because of the way she was tugging half of my stomach with every movement. i also remember getting charged like $50 for it (basic piercings are $40 there) my boyfriend has gotten jewlery from her at the normal price ($6) and when i went in to get my medusa changed, she told me itd be $10 (so already an upcharge forrr?) and asked if i wanted them to do it, i say yes and explain that i like that they can use transfer needles, and she just shoved my new jewelry through my lip with no transfer and then charged me $16 without just saying i might as well do it at home because shes not going to be gentle. she was also obviously untrusting and thought i was changing it too early (ive had it for almost a month now), and my boyfriend (who came into the room to watch) said she LOOKED like she was being aggressive with my lip. i have a high pain tolerance so i couldn’t feel it but he shouldn’t have been in shock as someone else with facial piercings and my lip swelled after (i know my body and no piercing has reacted to a changing like that other than feeling a tingle). he said she was tugging on my lip enough to see my dang frenulum (where you pierce a SMILELY). the guy is the only person id feel comfortable going to if i want to go again (theres honestly too many rude experiences for me to want to but if i want another piercing from this shop im just going to ask if hes there and if he can pierce me specifically) he has made some weird comments that felt inappropriate and unprofessional and i have seen other woman get told “the tattoo artists dont have a woman to go home to” regarding them wanting a tattoo close to closing time instead of just saying they dont mind the extra work(???) just interesting experiences everytime i go. its a great shop to walk in and out of for new piercings, but as ive tried making connections with the people that work there (as i go for piercings and jewelry), the more i realize that i probably shouldn’t and dont want to anymore. this is pretty lengthy because if this isnt a universal experience, we can probably side eye the many confederate flag jewelry and plain nazi symbols (take a good and long look at their belly button and tongue piercing racks)
