My cousin went here recently to get a cartilage piercing. I felt like he rushed my cousin in and out. He didn't clean her ear where he was going to pierce it at all. I don't even think I seen him wash his hands before piercing my cousin. He didn't mark up where he was going to pierce (which I think is pretty important so you can see if you like where its gonna be before you get it). He wasn't informative about how to care for the piercing, how long it'd take to heal, etc. He also didn't clean up the piercing after he was done. Maybe I'm just a weirdo about this stuff since the person I go to for piercings actually does all the stuff that I didn't see this guy do... Would NOT recommend this place for a piercing at ALL.

Got a small tattoo done, line work was awful. It was a tiny tattoo and me and my friends got matching ones and paid together yet we had to pay the shop minimum for each. I didn't even want them to try and fix it because the line work would've ended up being a sloppy, thick mess. Read Less

My very first small tattoo that Wes did turned out well. The second tattoo Wes did was a little larger and all was well at first. What i thought was bruising later turned out to be a large blow out. I contacted Wes by message on facebook with a photo of my blow out tattoo and he said he was busy for me to get back with him the following week. I got back with him the next week & then again he said he was too busy but he promised me he'd fix it with some shading. I wanted this tattoo fixed & willing to let Wes do it so i contacted him again & asked for an appointment time. Surprise, surprise...Wes is ignoring my messages now. I didn't want it fixed for free. I was willing to pay for YOUR mistake Wes. Shame on you! NOT good business to do customers this way! Read Less

So Jessie did a piece on my shoulder and I've got to say I'm in love with it ... She was great company and professional with her work. I would be talking her ears off and she's steadily focused on the task at hand and not heavy handed at that. I'll for sure refer my friends to her. :) thank you so much Jessie for making my tattoo that has so many meanings look so good Read Less
