I have had my ears peiced 4 times in my life and they always got infected, not this time. Always go to a tattoo shop for ear piecings, even little kids. Much cleaner and safer.

I went here for the amazing friday the 13th deal ($13 for tattoo and $7 tip)!! He had a huge sign up sheet of people to serve. He was nice enough to work late to get in as many people as possible, even though one of his employees didn't show and he was working for 14 hours. Everything was sanitized properly and replaced between tattoos. Even though everything is accessible through the internet, I do wish he had provided me with more information about cleaning and taking care of my tattoo, given it was 2:00am. OVERALL: wonderful experience, highly recommend!! Read Less

I have 12 tats and my favorites are the eight David did. And I plan on him fixing the other 4! He really is sure your feeling comfortable ,not only with the tattoo itself,but with the art. Letting you see the progress and your approval. He also did a touch up on my fiance's tiger tattoo she got like 20 years ago, it looks amazing. Period. Beyond his art and cleanliness, you find the greatest prices around. And it must be said, he's not some "reality TV" tat shop...this isn'...t McDonald's...I don't want a tat shop that hires on a rotating door basis. David does his own art,he has one other apprentice he's training....his daughter. This guy is genuine, not the typical money hungry drama tat shop. Just a great artist..prices and experience. Five stars all day long. See More Read Less

I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and told myself after all the treAtments and im cancer free, i will get a tattoo with a thyroid cancer logo. I searched the net and found 1 i liked. I printed it amd showed it to David and voila! He copied every detail of it and i liked it! Everything is clean and sanitiized. I am a nurse so i know what is clean from not. And tell you, everything is clean and new. And because i liked them esp the price, my husband got his ink too and i actually went for a second one.  I might go for a 3rd one but still begging hubby to say "yes!" Read Less

If I could give it a 0 I would. Had my belly button pierced here. He lied about the quality of the jewelry, did not clean my belly button prior to piercing. Did not mark it or clamp it and it turned out too deep and crooked. When asked about the depth (it was obviously too deep and tight) he said it was fine and told me not to touch OR CLEAN IT. Six days after I had to go get medical attention for the piercing and was told if I waited one more day it would have required surgery. I have attached a picture from right after the piercing then once it was removed professionally. I was also told by another piercer that she corrects several piercings originally done by him every day. DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANYTHING. Read Less

Horrible! I called and asked if he took credit cards (yes), what his minimum was ($50) and if he could go a small tattoo on my wrist at 3 that afternoon (said yes). My friend and I get there right at 3 and his shop was kicked and no one answered the door so we called the number posted on the door. He told us he was at the store and would be back soon. He walks in with a McDonalds cup and did not seem very interested or helpful. Then he answers his phone and says he has to go "have a smoke outside with my dad real quick". He comes in and has me pay before he does the tattoo and had not mentioned when I called that he charges extra if you use a card. The tattoo looked horrible and I was looking into having it removed because it was so sloppy and poorly done! I had someone ask me if it real since it was so bad. Went to a different shop and got it fixed thankfully but I don't want another person to have a horrible experience like I did. This was my third tattoo and I had an uneasy feeling the entire time and wish I had trusted my gut and left. Wish I could figure out how to post the before and after pictures so you can see for yourself! Read Less
