My boyfriend and I picked this shop for our finger "king and queen" tatoos because they said the price included 2 to 3 touch ups.being on the finger they fade faster. Paid 120 EACH and when we called to have them touched up tatoo Scott said he nevr said that then refused our calls or said he would call back and never did. They did my nose piercing for free, but Scott asked us to pay cash then when we said we wanted to put it on our card he acted pissed. They look shitty and were just done 6 months ago. Very disappointed and should have written this sooner to save others the trouble. Well go back to Mos Eisleys next time.

Scott did a great job on my tat and my piercing. I really appreciated how clean he was and how clean the shop was. Good service.

My second experience at Pain for Sale and I could never say enough great things. My first was a tattoo by Christian about a month ago and it's so beautiful. The shop is extremely clean and the staff is so welcoming and friendly. I was nothing but impressed.
This experience was a little different.
Weeks before my great experience with Christian at Pain for Sale, I got a piercing at another reputable shop in GR. The piercing was healing well, but the shop had pierced with the wrong kind of jewelry. The jewelry had migrated into the piercing and the ball on one side of the barbell had gotten stuck inside the piercing, causing a great amount of pain.
I was embarrassed walking in, but Tom graciously helped get the barbell unstuck ad re-pierced the closed end. The owner, John, was also invested in taking care of me and making sure that things were set right. The two were nothing but patient, kind, and helpful in making sure I was as comfortable as possible and in making sure that I had the right kind of jewelry and cleaner to ensure that I healed properly this time.
Soooo many thanks to Pain For Sale for making what could have been a horrible situation extremely positive. You've definitely got a life-long customer in me.

This was my first! Scott did an excellent job! It's perfect! The staff was nice, the store was clean, and it was easy to find. Ask for Scott, he has done tattoos for 30 years and does an amazing job!!...

Great and friendly people in this shop, I've been here a few times and I've always been satisfied. During this visit Angel engaged in conversation before during and after my piercing! angel was very very thorough in explaining the cleaning process as well and making you feel comfortable and at ease while in the shop.
5 stars and I will continue to recommend them to my peers

Went with my friend to get tattood. The artist got too comfortable toward the end of the shops day. It was nearing close. He started taking shots of tequila and finished the tattoo but he wouldn't clean up the client. He was bleeding profusely from his hands (where the tattoo was) and the client asked multiple times to be cleaned up and Saran wrapped. The tattoo artist was fucking around for 20 minutes and bein an asshole. THE most unprofessional shop I've ever been in DO NOT RECCOMEND . The client left with bloody hands. No aquaphor and no Saran Wrap.

Had a small tattoo done by Scott earlier this week. He was very friendly and very professional. I recommend this parlor and will be giving them future business.

Cleanest and most sterile shop in Grand Rapids. They always open their needles in front of us and dispose them in front of us. Best shop in town.

Wasnt happy with the tattoo work I received. I felt it was rushed and done lazy. I went somewhere else and they reworked it for me. They charged me less to rework it and took 3times as long to do so. ...
Wasnt happy with the tattoo work I received. I felt it was rushed and done lazy. I went somewhere else and they reworked it for me. They charged me less to rework it and took 3times as long to do so. That's how I know it was rushed and done with the laziness and not detailed enough. The detail was comparable to my 6 year olds drawings. Save yourself some grief and go elsewhere.
