I went to get a Monroe piercing back in December of 2016. My sister recommended the place for her tattoo so I thought I would get a piercing here. I was greeted by Holly who seemed very nice and professional, she did explain the procedure to me and marked the area for me before we began. The procedure was fairly quick and easy however the stud seemed very tight however she assured me it was loose to accommodate the swelling. I obviously swelled as she told me but about 2 or 3 days later I noticed the flat disk on the inside of my mouth was no longer visible and was swallowed by my own skin. I called up the shop and she assured me that it was normal and that the skin would eventually fall off and create its own little dent inside my mouth to prevent any chance of tooth decay. I called about a week later just to reassure myself that this was normal and she told me that it was and not to worry about it and to come in check after the holidays . I trusted her professional opinion and just left it at that eventually around New Year's is when my swelling had subsided and I decided to go by the shop to get it checked out to my dismay I was told that she no longer works there and they didn't have a piercer available to look at my piercing. At first I wasn't bothered the piercing looked cute but then the more the swelling went down the more the piercing stuck out about a half a centimeter off of my face and it looked ridiculous. I then went to at least five to ten different piercing and tattoo shops to see if they can work with my piercing and nobody could. I did however eventually come back to best tattoos and their piercer by the name of Loki had offered to try to help me with the piercing but he said it was too deep and that it would require stitches so unfortunately he couldn't help me. Needless to say I went to the ER and spent more than $600 to get it removed. It had been swallowed by my skin so deep the doctor had to take it out of the front of my face. It was a painful experience and my lip was numb for about a month but luckily it finally healed in there is just a slight small scar but no hole in my face. My suggestion would be not to get a piercing here but hopefully they have a better staff now than they did back then. Read Less

So here is the deal. None of these guys wanted to work. Walked in was barely acknowledged. When we were acknowledged it was uncomfortable as if we didn’t belong. Mind you we are both fully tattooed. Was looking for a small tattoo, having another tattoo in the same area of similar size I know how much. They wanted to charge $150/hr. Standard for high quality, but in the same sentence said that the tattoo minimum was $100 for that area. ??? Everyone was rude and I would say don’t even waste you time. Hit up a more reputable place. You will thank yourself later. Read Less

If you're thinking about getting a piercing here, please read this first: I went here to get a daith piercing. When I walked in I immediately felt uncomfortable, should have been sign number one to get out but regrettably I stayed. I wasn't greeted with a very friendly attitude, instead I felt like an annoyance. I figured everyone was just tired, since it was getting pretty late. When Loki (the piercer) was called up, I told him I wanted to get a daith piercing, pronouncing it the correct way of "doth" but was corrected that it is pronounced like "faith" with a 'd' instead of 'f'. Sign number two that I probably should have walked out the door when the piercer doesn't even know the correct pronunciation of the piercing I want. Nevertheless, I stuck around, I was determined to get pierced and I saw good reviews of Loki so I figured I was just being weird. I wasn't. He went ahead and got the room ready, I signed the papers, no ID was checked but I figured I just looked old enough not to bother. We went back to the room and he prepared for the piercing. He didn't mark anything to show me where he was going to pierce, didn't explain anything, he just told me to sit still and went to piercing. Okay. I had faith he knew what he was doing. Wrong. My piercing, a daith piercing, which should be pretty angled (not straight up and down) and deep in the ear almost as if appearing from the ear canal as well as deep toward the conch, was pierced all wrong. It was too shallow, almost no angle to it at all, and was so far from the position typical daith piercings should be (you can see in the photo how bad it was). On top of that, the jewelry was too large (granted he told me to come back in two weeks to have it changed, however, he should have pierced it with the proper size in the first place) and it was so cheap I ended up having a reaction to it that left the piercing irritated, red, and itchy as far as 9 days after I got it pierced with no signs of improvement. I ended up going to an APP approved piercing-dedicated studio in Eustis who advised I remove the jewelry and get it repierced properly, who also removed the jewelry for me and told me I had some slight pus due to the reaction to the cheap jewelry. After the piercing was over and done, he didn't hand me a mirror to see or even go over post-piercing care instructions like how to clean it or how often or what to look for for signs of infection and how to treat it if it did look infected. Didn't tell me not to sleep on it, or touch it, nothing. Fortunately, it wasn't my first piercing so I knew how to care for it and I treated my ear like a newborn baby. After getting in my car to pull out of the parking lot, I saw him leaving the liquor store next door. Perhaps he was just grabbing an energy drink or something, but it still left me even more uncomfortable that I probably picked the wrong place. Long story short, I do NOT recommend this place for piercings. At least not more complicated piercings like daith and rook or even conch and tragus. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this place for piercings at all. Just find an APP (Association of Professional Piercers) approved studio. Unfortunately, this was a $40 lesson and a mistake I won't be making again. Read Less
