I'm not one to do anything rebellious, so for me, getting a helix piercing was going to be a fun outing/experience...or so I thought. I didn't stumble upon epic tattoos, but rather I did my "research" and ended up choosing this establishment after reading the yelp reviews. I liked that people raved about this place and spoke positive of their experiences there and with the people. I finally decided to write a review after my second visit and here it is... I walked in on a Friday night and asked to get a helix piercing. There were two gentlemen at the front who informed me of the price, took my info and handed me the waiver. It was all fine until the woman who did my piercing came out from the side. She was informative about the after care (I will give her that), but she was so passive aggressive at the same time, she almost talked me out of getting it. She repeated to me several times how I could not go swimming or even step foot on a beach for eight months. I finally decided to tell her that I did want to get it and I stepped back there and in less than five minutes I came out with a new piercing. I'm not sure what she did faster- pierce my cartilage or kill my buzz. I left a little disappointed that my experience had not been the best but I was happy with the piercing. Fast forward to one week later and I went back because the ball of my earring popped off after I carefully wrapped my hair in a towel after washing it. I explained this to the guy at the front and he invited me in to get it fixed. I was then met by the same woman who had done my piercing who appeared slightly annoyed and said she could fix it for me this time, but there was usually a charge for that. I understood but I explained to her that it had just popped off and I was unable to put the ball back on the earring myself, which was why I even went back. I walked out of there, a second time, with no desire to be back. To sum it up, I have no issue with the piercing. It turned out fine. But if you're looking forward to a great experience, one which you can look back and think of how much of an "epic" time you had, this is not the place. For some that might not be a big deal, but for me it's all equally important. Read Less
