I am very disappointed in the experience we had here! They deserve -5 stars.My daughter wanted her tounge pierced so she saved her baby sitting money to get it done. After the initial piercing was in for 3 mo we switched it an she had trouble with it getting stuck in her tounge or falling out while eating..stopped by to talk to Tom on 2 occasions an he wasn't there. When we did get ahold of him he pretty much told us her situation was "unbelievable "...she had to go to the er to remove 1 that was stuck sideways in her tounge an the others got swallowed while eating. Tom was very unprofessional an when I told him the "blowhole" was on top instead of on the bottom where it should be he got offended an said " I don't even no what that means"?. He offered no solution except to pay to have it done! Why would I let u do it again after you messed up an pretty much said tough luck to her??! Never again an I will let everyone no there scammers!

Made an appointment months in advance. Hired a friend to draw up what I wanted, but the artist said that he preferred to make the design himself (which was fine). I showed up on time/early for my appointment, and the design wasn't even done. Artist didn't start until over an hour past my set appointment time, and as a result was unable to finish. Asked if he could let me know when he had a free hour or 2 to finish it up (busy schedule, kind of difficult for me to predict days off), and was completely ignored. Situation is pretty frustrating because the tattoo could have easily been finished in one session, but it wasn't. Read Less

They were very professional, I gave him an idea of what I wanted and let him go with it. I have never been happier with the results. He turned something that was embarrassing (the old tattoo) into something I'm proud to show off. Lol.
