I went to My Tattoo Shop two weeks ago on July 24th with my friend Jade. Our other two guy friends came with us for "emotional support" lol. Now this wasn't my first time being here, but it was Jades. I had previously been here a little more than a year ago to re-pierce by belly button. But since I'm terrible at keeping my jewelry in, it closed up. ):On a whim we had decided to go and get some piercings... I wanted to get my nose pierced on the other side of my face (and was considering redoing my belly button) and jade wanted to get her nipple pierced. Now even though I have multiple piercings (some of them multiple times lol) I still had that nervous, butterfly feeling in my stomach... so you can imagine how jade must have been feeling lmao. We open their front door and walk in to a VERY CLEAN and FRIENDLY looking shop. As you walk towards the front desk there are two plush couches on both sides of the rooms, a pool table, artwork portfolios lining the wall, and an arcade game. When we approached the front desk, a man was in the middle of a discussion with cliental, and so we waited. **now I don't understand why everyone is getting so butt hurt over not being greeted. your not invisible, they know you're there and they will get to you. I know that when its my turn he will give me his full attention and courtesy, the same way that he is behaving with the people at the counter. and that is something to be appreciative of, especially when discussing things pertaining to your body and needles lol.**Then it was our turn, as I got closer I realized it was the same guy who did my belly button last time.. Reek.While we were filling out our paper work, we bombarded him with questions. Through it all Reek was very friendly and funny, and continuously smiled even with stupid and nervous questions being thrown at him. His relaxed demeanor made us feel like he was friend not foe and put us at ease... **again I don't understand some of you people... do you want them to give you a serious stare and make you feel like your about to have a life altering procedure? Because personally I'd rather they act like a friend and make me feel comfortable**We finished our papers, gave our I.D.s, and paid.. we were ready to go.We waited about 10 minutes and then it was our turn.. I went first, got seated in the back room **without jade, because unlike most tattoo shops, "My Tattoo shop" actually follows the state's Health Regulations**He marked the area on my nose, asked me to check and make sure its even and where I wanted it. it was... so he pierced it in 1,2,3 done! He did it so efficiently and painlessly, I thought "the hell with it, lets do my belly button". So we did my belly button and again same experience quick, easy, and as painless as could be. **to the girl that was perturbed that no one told her her belly piercing was done... are you stupid? or are you blind? because all you had to do was glance downwards to tell....0_0**Jade came and went... and said she had the same great experience... I was very impressed on the way everyone handled themselves and the customer service we received from Reek. We are very happy with our piercings!! Many of my friends (and strangers) admire his handy work and how perfectly even he got my nose piercings. All of them are healing really nicely and I will definitely come back (with friends) for more work! thanks guys and thank you Reek!And WOW, it is such a shame that their rating is being affected by yelps terrible review processing system. It is unfortunate that all the one star reviews, dating from at least a year back, are on the recommended section and that there are LITERALLY four pages of recently posted five star reviews hidden in the not recommended section. Hopefully my review makes the cut :) and I also think that the manager is doing a really good job on his yelp review responses! Read Less
