I don't believe this tattoo was worth the $80 spent on it. Especially since my friend and I went in for your promotion. Only to be told it didn't fit your criteria of just line work. I even asked if we could use the same design just the line work and was told no. Just to end up with our tattoos rushed and you can clearly see the quality suffered. Melvin Brown while he wasn't rude definitely gave off the vibe us being there was a bother and it made the experience uncomfortable. Now on top of $80 already wasted now I will have to pay more to get it touched up and fixed. Definitely would not recommend trying this place if I were you.
Went there to get a nose piercing a couple of months ago and regret it!! DO NOT go there if you're looking to get any piercing done, the lady didn’t even ask for my id and was rushing me while filling out the paper. As soon as the needle went it i knew there was something wrong i felt this sharp pain all through out my nose and was bleeding for 30 minutes straight. I took it out 2 days later because the pain was too much for me to handle, fast forward to now the left side of my nose is numb, I went to the doctor because i was concerned and he said more than like she hit a nerve with the needle. Please do your research before going to any place and don’t be careless like me!!!!!
Can't find them don't exist won't answer texts great pricing supposedly but again no human answers don't recommend don't waste your time they don't exist
