The tattooing was great, the first time. I came in with an original drawing for a tattoo. Rachel tattooed it, no problem. The second time I came in, I got a couple of bands going around my arm. They are uneven and have wobbly line work. A couple of days after I had gotten that done, I saw that Rachel has copied my first tattoo design for another person with no credit to me for my design. When I posted about this on Facebook, she immediately bashed me, saying how her drawing was so much better since she is a professional. I'm not sure what defines a tattoo artist as a professional, considering she has no degree in art. If getting paid for art deems you as a professional, then I am also a professional. No artist would ever bash someone for their art. Instead, they would want to make you want to continue improving your art. I will not be coming back as long as she is there. That is completely unacceptable. Read Less

I went in for my first needle piercing (not first piercing). The guy was nice. He sanitized everything before it went on the shelf and then before it went in my ear. Quick, easy, almost painless (lol)... Read More
I went in for my first needle piercing (not first piercing). The guy was nice. He sanitized everything before it went on the shelf and then before it went in my ear. Quick, easy, almost painless (lol). They had a nice waiting room and some awesome tattoo artwork by their artists on their business cards. I can't wait to go back for another go around. Also, as I was new to the needle, the guy gave me a bag of sea salt. Just mix it with water, dab it on and it'll heal better. That was really nice of him.Read Less
