I have gone here twice, once for my first tattoo and once for my nose piercing.



When I got my tattoo two years ago, I had a specific design in mind and had it drawn out. I had an appointment with the owner (Ricky I believe) He said it was impossible due to the lines going around my ankle. It would be impossible to make them meet in back like I wanted. I did some research afterwards and it isn’t that difficult. In fact, it’s common to do now. After he explained why it was impossible, and I foolishly said ok fine, he didn’t give me a chance to fix my tattoo so it would do what I wanted to. Part of it is in the wrong place. While he was tattooing, he was silent. He only spoke when I almost passed out (first tattoo, I figured it could happen). He wasn’t very personable which I find a problem for a small shop like this one. Once it was finished, he gave me very short instructions on how to take care of it and I was done. When I checked it later, the lines were unevenly thick and aren’t the right length. Towards the end, they aren’t parallel anymore like they’re supposed to be. He even had a template drawn on me from my image which I used a ruler and made absolutely sure they were perfectly parallel.



When I got my nose pierced last year, the guy at the desk was kinda rude. Sarcastic even. Typically when you get a piercing, they draw a dot, let you check where it is, then they pierce. I never got to see the dot. I had wanted it further back than it is, but I couldn’t change it - he moved too quick. Then he told me it would be healed in about a month when all my research beforehand told me it wouldn’t be healed for 6 months. I even asked my friend who has a piercing what she thought and she said he was crazy. The misinformation could cost someone their piercing.



Zoom to today, two years later, my tattoo is turning an ugly green/gray and my tattoo is crooked and unfinished. It looks bad and I’m going to have to have someone redo it somehow. My piercing is fine due my extensive research and not listening to what the artist said. I will never return here and I would certainly NEVER suggest this place to anyone looking for a tattoo. There are better places nearby to get tattoos owned by people who are super friendly. Do more research before picking this place.
