Don't waste your time . The attitude of the owner is almost as bad as his tattoos. The placement of my tattoo is off. Lines are crooked, ink is faded, and coloring out side of the lines. And a few scars. His appearance wasn't very appealing but I decided to give him a chance anyway, big mistake. I followed his care card as instructed. When I went back to show him and tell him how bad of a job he did, he blamed it on me for using too much ointment. Totally dissatisfied. Read Less

I did research trying to find the best place. Sadly the reviews were wrong and I had to remove both piercings and am hoping that I don't get a keloid. When the piercings were removed at a different location (per my doctor) due to an infection. The piercer who removed my piercings informed me that a number of things were done wrong. First a hoop not a stud should have been used. Secondly due to my sensitive skin a nickle free ring should have been used. Finally I got miss instruction on how to care for my new piercings. Hopefully the piercer at this shop gets better educated before piercing another. (NO STARS IF I COULD) Read Less

This place was phenomenal. This is the first time I got pierced with a needle at a real piercing place and it was amazing. The piercer, Keith, was super nice and helped my sister and I through a tough pierce. I recommend anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing to go here. Read Less

Very rude - will not get my business ever. We brought a Global Entry ID for our daughter who is 16, they did not accept it. OK - we can fly to Mexico with it, but alright, we went back for her passport. "The picture is too old" they said but as a government ID it is valid for international travel for 2 more years! Obviously, they had an agenda to say no regardless of what we brought there. Good luck getting referrals . Read Less

The piercer is professional as fuck. Knows a lot of shit about a lot of shit hahaha! He was real nice, me and 3 of my friends got pierced on Friday the 13th for half priced piercings. He pierced everyone else with new piercings but I wanted him to repierce my belly button, but he wouldn't repierce another hole because the jewelry will go back to the scarred hole eventually so he repierced the same hole that was sorta still open (after almost a year of being out).Read Less

One of the best tattoo experiences I've ever been around very kind and considerate of your feelings and whut you want Troy and Mike are very professional with their work and very clean two of the best people I've ever known in my life Read Less

Had my nose pierced here by Mike when I was 15, and went back to him for my septum yesterday; he is very nice and extremely knowledgeable on any and every piercing you could get and even picked out the perfect/exact size ring I was looking for for my septum. He is also very helpful if you have an infection, as I have gone back in to have him look at my hoop when it gets a bubble on the piercing spot or if you want a piercing changed but would rather not do it yourself; he helped my friend put in her navel ring free of charge. He also does not talk down to you even if you have the simplest question; he is genuinely just focused on helping. Any time I need a piercing, or someone tells me they want to get one, I recommend him and South Side. Read Less

First time I've ever been to this place! Mike was AMAZING and so so so nice and funny! I got my industrial pierced on Friday the 13th and was the last one of the night at 1:30am and he still managed to do such a great piercing and give great customer service. He makes sure you know what's he's going to do and won't fake you out like other piercers do.. he's 110% honest with you! I'm shocked he was able to put up with all of my annoying questions and scaredness and laughter � Definitely will be going back for more piercings by him, and this time I won't be as annoying!

When I went in to get a tattoo, Jodee, the artist, did not seem too thrilled about it. It being my first tattoo ever, I was just nice and let the professional do what she needed. Few weeks after the tattoo I noticed that the lines were uneven, as in it goes from thick to thin to thick again. The designs were poorly done and doesn't look even. Since its many months since I got it I just won't bother going back to ask for a touch up/get it fixed. It sucks that my first tattoo was kind of butchered and I will not be coming back for another tattoo. Read Less

This was a great experience. A very very clean local, everything was very clean, new or sterilized. I got a nose ring, Mike is a very nice guy and is very gentle and helps you out with good instructions for afterwards. The only thing is that you have to pay only with cash, the rest of it was perfect!!! Read Less

I got snake bites Friday night (not here another place). The person who pierced me was nice but didn't give very thorough after care instructions and didn't tell me much about it. I had to go back to that same place yesterday (Saturday) for a longer bar on one side of my lip because it was swelling too much. I wake up today (Sunday) and my lip is more swollen. After being recommended this place by a few people I come here to get a longer bar for the other side too. Not only did I get a longer bar but I got it put in for me, very thorough, clear instructions for after care along with papers I wasn't given at the other place and all my questions answered, things I should know about the piercings and was told why my lip was more swollen. Thank you South Side and thank you Keith!! I will definitely be coming here again. Read Less

I had a great experience! I went to have my cartilage repierced. Mike was amazing! He was actually able to reopen the hole. Not painful at all. Mike is very professional and nice. I'll bring my niece here when she's older to get her navel pierced! Definitely recommend! Read Less

This was my second time being pierced here. The first, was 6 years ago getting my navel, which healed beautifully and has continued to never give me an issue. Today I got pierced by Mike who gave me 2 helix and 2 forward helix piercings on one ear. He was very thorough in helping me figure out what I want and extremely patient with me. After the 4 piercings through cartilage, I felt very light headed, nauseas (I had forgotten to eat and tend to get sick when nervousness and pain set in). He instructed me to sit for a while and handed me water and glucose tablets. Very thorough in advising me of what to do and not to do regarding my new piercings. I'll be going back to get more from Mike. Read Less

I got my Nose pierced in Nyc and have had nothing but problems. It was infected on and off and I was ready to take it out. I figured I would go somewhere local to see what they say. I went to Mike about 2 weeks ago, he told me exactly what I need to do and why. He was very intelligent and had a reason to back up everything he said. Not only is my piercing 100% now but I have the knowledge and proof of why the other solutions didn't work. Thank you Mike for being so helpful, I can now keep my piercing! Read Less

Went to go get yet another tattoo by Jodee. She has a way of taking an idea and making it into reality. She's awesome! The shop itself is clean and neat. They have a wide variety of body jewelry with a very honest and friendly piercer. He took the time to explain the different styles of jewelry that I was looking at which was greatly appreciated. This shop is an hour away from where I live but heading there for a tattoo or some body jewelry is well worth it because of the staff. They honestly make this a great shop. Read Less

I got two piercings here, and I was very happy with both of them.  The man that works there (I don't recall his name, but he has gauges?) pierced my cartilage and my nose.  For the cartilage, I got the choice of a hoop, stud, barbell, or curved barbell. I was impressed with the huge selection.  There were also tons of nose rings to choose from.  The man made sure I understood how to care for the piercing, and also sold me a soap to use on it.  Both piercings healed nicely.  The man was honest but friendly, and he made sure I was planning to take care of the piercings properly before piercing them.   He also makes sure you are happy with the location before piercing it.  The piercings were both quick and relatively painless.  Everything was incredibly clean- it looked more like a doctor's office than a piercing room.  Everything was brand new and sterile. I was very impressed with my experience here, and I plan to go back if I decide to get another piercing or a tattoo. Read Less
