Had to get nipple redone. Biscuit took me straight back and we were done in no time. I'm a surgical nurse and this place is VERY clean and professional. I'll be back for my next piercing/tattoo.

We were vacationing, and decided to let our daughter get a much wanted tattoo. Our state is over 18 only. Her dad and I decided to get one as well. The same thing, in the same place - but different sizes. Counter experience was great - easy check in, easy selection, easy image sharing. Everything was correct - we all signed off.Did not have to wait long, and daughter was called. Husband stayed with her when I was called. Our artists were fantastic - skilled and careful. No issue with the work.The place was clean. But, they switched the stencil for my husband's tattoo with mine. Ink always 'feels' bigger to me at that stage, I wasn't concerned. Turns out my husband was concerned when his script looked small to him, but it was the only attached to his paperwork. He knew that was right - he'd approved it. And yet . . . They mixed up our stencils. We literally have each other's tattoos. Seems unbelievable, but it is true. The work is gorgeous, but I wish mine were smaller, and my husband's ink should be bigger.I've reached out to the shop -- no response. Not much they could do, not much that I would even expect -- but . . ghosted?Go ahead, get tattooed here. But not if you are in a group. That's the breakdown: "Make stencils for me". It would have been fine if our tats weren't so similar. But is that something you should have to worry about at a tattoo parlor? I don't think so. Read Less

I got a tattoo here recently while was in town for the weekend, and the tattoo artist did not do what I said. I brought in a picture and he did something almost entirely different. Different colors, less details, he just straight up left almost every element that I wanted out of the tattoo. It looks like it was done in dried ballpoint pen ink and marker. I even asked him to add certain colors and he wouldn't. Aside from that, they had me wait 3 HOURS. I would not be as irritated if they had just told me to come back, as I was only in town for the rest of the day, but they continuously told me that the artist was "getting ready for me". Once I finally saw the artist, he added 70$ to the original quote. Then he gave me a tattoo that I didn't even ask for or like. 250$ down the drain. I'll be getting the tattoo re-worked as soon as it heals. Would not recommend.The only reason I'm not giving one star is because the were very clean. Read Less

Wish I could give these guys 10 stars... My experience was definitely one for the books. Upon walking I was greeted nearly right away by a smiling face, that person happened to be the exactly who I was there to see: The very charming Mr.Justin Merritt I was referred to him by multiple people around town and I was not in the slightest bit disappointed. His knowledge of the product he sells is impeccable, his bedside manner is very relaxing and his pinpoint accuracy is a force to reckoned with. My piercing was next to painless and his use of sterile technique was beyond exceptional(I am a nurse practitioner and look for these things). His work area,as well as the rest of the business was extremely clean. It even smells nice in here! This was the exact experience I was looking for that lacked in other places I had checked out before them. Don’t miss out on these guys! Absolutely will be a customer for life! Read Less

Took our 10 year old daughter to get her ears pierced and it was a perfect experience. She was nervous but Justin, the owner, was so calming and explained everything to her. He took his time, like we were the only thing he had to do all day, and did a perfect job. She hardly felt a thing and was so excited as we left. It was clean, everyone was friendly, and he used excellent sterile technique. Why would anyone ever take their kids to a crappy jewelry store to get that crazy gun piercing when you've got places like Blue Horshoe around?! Will definitely take our second daughter there again if/when she decides she wants her ears pierced! Read Less

Would not suggest this place to anyone.  My husband and I both walked in to get tattoos, took several minutes  before we were even greeted.  There were two employees at the front desk,  one with a customer and one doing nothing.

I came here with my best friend a few months ago. We heard really good stories about this place and decided this is where we wanted to get another tattoo together. Walking in the guy in the front was really nice and very polite! My friend and I showed him what kind of tattoo we each desired. They had a problem with the Palm tree that she wanted. She wanted a detailed palm tree and she was told they couldn't do that. Because it would fuzz out? My other friend got the same tattoo at Tucan and it was really detailed and really pretty. And not a solid plain chunk of color. Nobody free handed anything witch I thought was a little odd but nothing to big to worry about. I wish I had met the artist artist before I paid. I don't know if he was in a bad mood or had a rough day but he was not in the mood to do tattoos that night. He was very snappy and rude. I should have walked out and have not worried about not receiving a refund. During the tattoo session he made me feel uncomfortable and stressed out. Maybe since my tattoo was small and plain he didn't want to do it and it made him angry? His attitude was horrible. If he really did not want to do my tattoo I would of appreciate if he had told me that. And now when ever my friend and I look at our tattoos we're reminded of the bad energy this man had. Getting a tattoo is something important and significant. It's a piece of art that's going to be on the body for the rest of your life. I have never had such a bad experience like this while getting a tattoo. I don't regret the tattoo I got but when ever I look at it I think of the bad energy this man had. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Their are lots of other paces in Virginia that can do amazing detailed work and have employees with good vibes that will make your tattoo experience really enjoyable. Read Less

I've gotten two of my piercings and two of my tattoos from here and it's pretty dope. The staff is friendly and the work is amazing. My piercings were done by Biscuit and he made them quick and easy, also a very nice and funny guy. You can't beat the $15 Piercings. I got two different tattoos here, obviously two different times, and I had different artists. I can't really remember the names but one is a bit older, has short hair, and wears glasses - super, super nice and did a great job. The other artist, has actually tattooed Lil Wayne (something to definitely remember). The shop is clean, has nice decor, and they play music but also have different tvs on throughout the shop and magazines for readers. When it comes to prices of tattoos, it really all depends on the size, placement, and what you're getting but I do know the shop minimum is $50. Whether you're getting some ink, a new piercing, or need new jewelry or touch up, they will help you out. And they always send you home with after care, and a discount off your next piercing/tat with them. Read Less

I originally went to VB Ink to get a piercing, and the lazy fuck piercer wouldn't pierce me because my "tongue was too short" but I came here and I'm so glad I did because the piercing lady here did it no problem. And it was only $15 plus tax! Not bad at all. This place is so laid back, down-to-earth, and I love their prices so much.

The artists are detail oriented, very careful and clean.  And their piercing jobs are dirt cheap. In a good way of course. This business is cash only but there is an ATM available at the store. And if a wait is required, then there is a Starbucks right across the street. They have a couple of televisions, a couple of couches, and a pool table. All work spaces were clean.

I was a little skeptical of this place, but my sister and I wanted to get tattoos done and were in a bit of a time crunch. It was just a basic text tattoo, so we weren't super picky. The location is easy to find and there was a good number of parking spaces open on the side of the building. Walking in, we were quickly greeted by an artist, which was nice. They had a couple of couches and a big tv playing a kids movie. There were two gals working the front counter that were super kind. The piercing guy was a bit rude and short with one of the girls, which I found pretty unprofessional.There was a larger black guy that had headphones on while tattooing and was a bit rude to us while we were waiting on the couches. Although it was 10:30am on a Saturday, so maybe he hadn't had his coffee yet.Our artist was really nice, super friendly, and after checking out his instagram, he has some great work in his portfolio.

I saw Joe Hitt and he was AMAZING!!!!  Very down to Earth, easy to talk to, and I definitely felt like he really knew his craft.  I asked many questions and he answered everything calmly without making me feel like an idiot.  My tattoo was small but he didn't act like it wasn't worth his time because it wasn't a giant back piece.  I definitely sensed that he is true to his work and cares about his client.  The shop was clean and the staff was friendly as well.  THANK YOU Joe Hitt and BHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stopped by the shop on a whim because I've been wanting to get an industrial for years. All of the piercing shops in Baltimore are like $60-80 for it and I just wasn't having it. I decided to call and see how much it would set me back and when they said $40 I had to tell my grandma I'd be right back! lol. I'll edit this to add the piercer's name, but she was awesome and quick! when I walked in there were 3 people in front of me and she rolled them out within 20 minutes. Next time I'm in Hampton, I'm definitely stopping by for another piercing. :)FYI, they're cash only, so I'd suggest stopping at a bank instead of using the ATM inside because it has a $3 fee.

My husband and I went here on our way to his AIT (army training). We just walked in, we didn't look them up so we didn't know what we were expecting. The man that did our tattoos was great! It was my second tattoo on my ribs & I was still kind of freaked out and then I got light headed. He was very patient with me. It was my husband's first tattoo and he did good. But now, it's 4 months later and BOTH of our tattoos are faded. My tattoo I got in florida, over a year ago, is still DARK DARK & looks brand new. But this one I got in November looks old & has many faded spots. My husband and I did everything we were suppose to with the after care so I don't understand why they're like this. I was told, maybe, the tattoo artist didn't push hard enough. I still love my tattoo, but this makes me upset because now we have to pay to get them redone somewhere else. Read Less

When I think of BHS, there's a lot of things that come to mind. The shop itself, is a wonderful example of what a tattoo and piercing shop should look like. Custom artwork on the walls, beautiful entry way, open layout so you can look at portfolios and talk to the artists. It has an overall warm and welcoming atmosphere. Next thing is the artists themselves. They are friendly and welcoming to new clients and take the time to talk to customers and really get in their heads to figure out what exactly they want so that they end up with a piece or piercing they love. Blue horseshoe is the exact opposite of every other tattoo shop I've been in. They don't make you feel like you're a huge inconvenience when you walk in the door. There is always room for walk ins and if you come in wanting a tattoo or piercing, you won't be scared out the door. I think what drew me to this place, was that I always heard good things about it. Since I was 18, I've come to BHS as my first choice to get tattooed as well as pierced. So it's a name that has meant something to me for a long time. What makes me want to be here is the environment, It's positive, clean, and very light. Not just the shop, but the artists as well. There's so much talent packed into one shop, it's amazing to see how different all of the artists are, working together towards the same goal; putting really awesome modifications on people that they will have and love for years to come. A well done, meaningful tattoo or piercing can change someone's life, the way they feel about themselves, and all of the artists here have been able to convey that onto customers time and time again. From fixing boozy tattoos to giving customers their very first piercing, these artists do it all. I've never seen so much passion and love for a craft as these people have, and it's very refreshing to see people who love what they do.  It shows in the work as well as the artists themselves.

If you're going for a tattoo, sweet. I've been here with a friend getting a tattoo done and it was great.Piercings, however, do not get your piercings done here. I got my back dermals down here and I question the experience of the piercer. It took three attempts for the right dermal to snap in place. That should not have happened and I was just waiting to have problems with it down the road. And viola, I'm getting them out in the next couple days because the right dermal has been fighting rejection, and it hurts. The left one is okay but never lost the red ring around it. Also I found out the quality of the jewelry they used was crap. I paid a high quality price for nickel dermals. What the heck Blue Horseshoe, step up your game to the level you sell yourselves at and use real, proper jewelry on your customers. I'm pissed. I paid more money on nickel dermals than I'm going to for titanium ones. I feel scammed and I'm pissed. Read Less

The owner Mike Wexler is a complete a-hole. Made an apt. for an add on to my pre-existing piece, and he took 30 min just to freehand onto it. When he was finished, I did not like his design. He grew very irritated with me, and tried again. I didn't care for the second either. He made it clear he was irritated, which is completely unprofessional in my opinion (especially being the owner). Eventually we had to re-schedule because of his irritation. Had to wait a month to get in next, and showed up 15 min late because I was stuck in traffic. He rolled his eyes as i walked in and told me gave the apt to someone else. I understand giving the apt away since I was late and should have called, but he was a complete jerk about it! Not to mention, he always smells, and has a piece of chew in his mouth. Needless to say...I took my service elsewhere. Read Less

Chuck Chapman did an awesome back piece for me in July 2008. He was professional, friendly, and an extremely talented artist. I came in with a design and some words (to be tattooed), and he created a beautiful piece of art for me. Also, I had driven down from DC specifically to get the tattoo done (I had made an appointment a few weeks earlier), and Chuck worked on it until it was finished, knowing that I was going back to DC the same day. The tattoo took about 5 hours, total. If you live in/around Virginia Beach, I highly recommend Chuck and the Blue Horseshoe. It is a clean and professional establishment and worth the money. As I always say about tattoos ... you get what you pay for. If you want quality you have to be willing to pay a little bit more. So, while my tattoo wasn't cheap, the quality is excellent. It looks as good today as the day it was completed. Read Less

Last time I walked around with a shirt that shows my back, I had someone ask if they could take a picture of my tattoo.

well it was time fo rmy birthday finnaly i was of age to get my own piercing. Something to make me,just me. At first i was going to get a tounge piercing but after 3 years of braces i dident think so. In th end i decided that my nose was the way to go. as ecstadic as i was, i was mainly afraid of the needle. If there is anything to make my cringe it's a big needle going threw my flesh and bones. But it was worth it to get something that i realy wanted. So an hour later there i am in Blue Horse Shoe Tattoo. Quivering and scared but oh well. the piercer clamed me down and told me it wasent going to hurt (typical i know) but then he said ""it will hurt but not as much as you think it would be, the intense is worse"" of corse i had no other choice but to believe him. So i got it done and whal-la fineto it is done and over with. I recomend blue horse shoe because the people are nice and they are really clean. after my horrific shock of terror was over iIwent back a second time to get my tummy pierced, and yet again i will go back there to get my eyebrow.

We were vacationing, and decided to let our daughter get a much wanted tattoo. Our state is over 18 only. Her dad and I decided to get one as well. The same thing, in the same place - but different sizes. Counter experience was great - easy check in, easy selection, easy image sharing. Everything was correct - we all signed off.Did not have to wait long, and daughter was called. Husband stayed with her when I was called. Our artists were fantastic - skilled and careful. No issue with the work.The place was clean. But, they switched the stencil for my husband's tattoo with mine. Ink always 'feels' bigger to me at that stage, I wasn't concerned. Turns out my husband was concerned when his script looked small to him, but it was the only attached to his paperwork. He knew that was right - he'd approved it. And yet . . . They mixed up our stencils. We literally have each other's tattoos. Seems unbelievable, but it is true. The work is gorgeous, but I wish mine were smaller, and my husband's ink should be bigger.I've reached out to the shop -- no response. Not much they could do, not much that I would even expect -- but . . ghosted?Go ahead, get tattooed here. But not if you are in a group. That's the breakdown: "Make stencils for me". It would have been fine if our tats weren't so similar. But is that something you should have to worry about at a tattoo parlor? I don't think so. Read Less

I got a tattoo here recently while was in town for the weekend, and the tattoo artist did not do what I said. I brought in a picture and he did something almost entirely different. Different colors, less details, he just straight up left almost every element that I wanted out of the tattoo. It looks like it was done in dried ballpoint pen ink and marker. I even asked him to add certain colors and he wouldn't. Aside from that, they had me wait 3 HOURS. I would not be as irritated if they had just told me to come back, as I was only in town for the rest of the day, but they continuously told me that the artist was "getting ready for me". Once I finally saw the artist, he added 70$ to the original quote. Then he gave me a tattoo that I didn't even ask for or like. 250$ down the drain. I'll be getting the tattoo re-worked as soon as it heals. Would not recommend.The only reason I'm not giving one star is because the were very clean. Read Less

Upon walking I was greeted nearly right away by a smiling face, that person happened to be the exactly who I was there to see: The very charming Mr.Justin Merritt I was referred to him by multiple people around town and I was not in the slightest bit disappointed. His knowledge of the product he sells is impeccable, his bedside manner is very relaxing and his pinpoint accuracy is a force to reckoned with.

Took our 10 year old daughter to get her ears pierced and it was a perfect experience. She was nervous but Justin, the owner, was so calming and explained everything to her. He took his time, like we were the only thing he had to do all day, and did a perfect job. She hardly felt a thing and was so excited as we left. It was clean, everyone was friendly, and he used excellent sterile technique. Why would anyone ever take their kids to a crappy jewelry store to get that crazy gun piercing when you've got places like Blue Horshoe around?! Will definitely take our second daughter there again if/when she decides she wants her ears pierced! Read Less

Would not suggest this place to anyone.  My husband and I both walked in to get tattoos, took several minutes  before we were even greeted.  There were two employees at the front desk,  one with a customer and one doing nothing. Finally, one suggested we look through the portfolios and find something we liked. That was the only exchange we had with either. After 45 mins of being totally ignored  ( both walked by several times, one consistently on his phone ) we walked out. Both of us have several tattoos and been to several different shops, never have I been to one where they employees were rude and seemed disinterested. Read Less

I came here with my best friend a few months ago. We heard really good stories about this place and decided this is where we wanted to get another tattoo together. Walking in the guy in the front was really nice and very polite! My friend and I showed him what kind of tattoo we each desired. They had a problem with the Palm tree that she wanted. She wanted a detailed palm tree and she was told they couldn't do that. Because it would fuzz out? My other friend got the same tattoo at Tucan and it was really detailed and really pretty. And not a solid plain chunk of color. Nobody free handed anything witch I thought was a little odd but nothing to big to worry about. I wish I had met the artist artist before I paid. I don't know if he was in a bad mood or had a rough day but he was not in the mood to do tattoos that night. He was very snappy and rude. I should have walked out and have not worried about not receiving a refund. During the tattoo session he made me feel uncomfortable and stressed out. Maybe since my tattoo was small and plain he didn't want to do it and it made him angry? His attitude was horrible. If he really did not want to do my tattoo I would of appreciate if he had told me that. And now when ever my friend and I look at our tattoos we're reminded of the bad energy this man had. Getting a tattoo is something important and significant. It's a piece of art that's going to be on the body for the rest of your life. I have never had such a bad experience like this while getting a tattoo. I don't regret the tattoo I got but when ever I look at it I think of the bad energy this man had. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Their are lots of other paces in Virginia that can do amazing detailed work and have employees with good vibes that will make your tattoo experience really enjoyable. Read Less

I've gotten two of my piercings and two of my tattoos from here and it's pretty dope. The staff is friendly and the work is amazing. My piercings were done by Biscuit and he made them quick and easy, also a very nice and funny guy. You can't beat the $15 Piercings. I got two different tattoos here, obviously two different times, and I had different artists. I can't really remember the names but one is a bit older, has short hair, and wears glasses - super, super nice and did a great job. The other artist, has actually tattooed Lil Wayne (something to definitely remember). The shop is clean, has nice decor, and they play music but also have different tvs on throughout the shop and magazines for readers. When it comes to prices of tattoos, it really all depends on the size, placement, and what you're getting but I do know the shop minimum is $50. Whether you're getting some ink, a new piercing, or need new jewelry or touch up, they will help you out. And they always send you home with after care, and a discount off your next piercing/tat with them. Read Less

They had a couple of couches and a big tv playing a kids movie. There were two gals working the front counter that were super kind. The piercing guy was a bit rude and short with one of the girls, which I found pretty unprofessional.There was a larger black guy that had headphones on while tattooing and was a bit rude to us while we were waiting on the couches.

When I think of BHS, there's a lot of things that come to mind. The shop itself, is a wonderful example of what a tattoo and piercing shop should look like. Custom artwork on the walls, beautiful entry way, open layout so you can look at portfolios and talk to the artists. It has an overall warm and welcoming atmosphere. Next thing is the artists themselves. They are friendly and welcoming to new clients and take the time to talk to customers and really get in their heads to figure out what exactly they want so that they end up with a piece or piercing they love. Blue horseshoe is the exact opposite of every other tattoo shop I've been in. They don't make you feel like you're a huge inconvenience when you walk in the door. There is always room for walk ins and if you come in wanting a tattoo or piercing, you won't be scared out the door. I think what drew me to this place, was that I always heard good things about it. Since I was 18, I've come to BHS as my first choice to get tattooed as well as pierced. So it's a name that has meant something to me for a long time. What makes me want to be here is the environment, It's positive, clean, and very light. Not just the shop, but the artists as well. There's so much talent packed into one shop, it's amazing to see how different all of the artists are, working together towards the same goal; putting really awesome modifications on people that they will have and love for years to come. A well done, meaningful tattoo or piercing can change someone's life, the way they feel about themselves, and all of the artists here have been able to convey that onto customers time and time again. From fixing boozy tattoos to giving customers their very first piercing, these artists do it all. I've never seen so much passion and love for a craft as these people have, and it's very refreshing to see people who love what they do.  It shows in the work as well as the artists themselves.

If you're going for a tattoo, sweet. I've been here with a friend getting a tattoo done and it was great.Piercings, however, do not get your piercings done here.

That should not have happened and I was just waiting to have problems with it down the road. And viola, I'm getting them out in the next couple days because the right dermal has been fighting rejection, and it hurts. The left one is okay but never lost the red ring around it. Also I found out the quality of the jewelry they used was crap. I paid a high quality price for nickel dermals. What the heck Blue Horseshoe, step up your game to the level you sell yourselves at and use real, proper jewelry on your customers. I'm pissed.

The owner Mike Wexler is a complete a-hole. Made an apt. for an add on to my pre-existing piece, and he took 30 min just to freehand onto it. When he was finished, I did not like his design. He grew very irritated with me, and tried again. I didn't care for the second either. He made it clear he was irritated, which is completely unprofessional in my opinion (especially being the owner). Eventually we had to re-schedule because of his irritation. Had to wait a month to get in next, and showed up 15 min late because I was stuck in traffic. He rolled his eyes as i walked in and told me gave the apt to someone else. I understand giving the apt away since I was late and should have called, but he was a complete jerk about it! Not to mention, he always smells, and has a piece of chew in his mouth. Needless to say...I took my service elsewhere. Read Less

these guys claim to be artists. I went in there were 2 ideas only accessible via my email to them. they said they would do it for me in one hour wait. told me to send them the tattoo, and I would be getting a tattoo in an hour. I did that. then they told me they couldn't do it, because I didn't have an appointment. of course they took my drawings. these guys are sorry. I'm sure they're artistry is the same as their honesty Read Less

I've got a custom piece from Mike that I didn't even know i wanted until I saw it and had to have it. This man can make a great tattoo out of anything and his style is so different from anyone else I've seen that I know my tattoo from him stands out as a work of art. Let him come up with something for you and he'll definitely impress you. Read Less

Oh god, well I'm glad everyone else had a great experience here, mine was horrendous.  I have had most of my tattoos done at ocean mystique.  I went here on a friends recommendation and what a mistake.  The guy that tattooed me was shaking so bad, I asked him to stop halfway through and left.  The tattoo is horrible.

The tattooist Joe Hitt and Gentleman Jim provided horrible service while I visited. both complained the whole time, jim smelled like pot, neither washed before tattooin me and my sister. l later visited the state website looking for their permits to tattoo and could not find any information. They even touched their ink bottles their bloody gloves!!!! EWWWWW. I surprisingly got an infection and had to have antibiotics and steroids to fight this blood poisoning. My sister got off easy. just lines are real deep and blurry. I WILL NEVER, REPEAT NEVER, give my money to be put at risk like that again. Very disappointed and disgusted. Does anyone recomend a shop I can get this fixed. Read Less

There is one artist who I would allow to tattoo me (and i am covered with all sorts of bad, good, and amazing tattoos...and he is the best) ...and its so bad, because I cannot remember his name to save my life...but if you ask for the guy with the bowtied turd tattooed on his leg...thats him....he is phenomenal. He even fixed my horrible ones and made them beautiful.....I would fly there just to get another done by him. His color work...is UNBELIEVABLE. Read Less

Chuck Chapman did an awesome back piece for me in July 2008. He was professional, friendly, and an extremely talented artist. I came in with a design and some words (to be tattooed), and he created a beautiful piece of art for me. Also, I had driven down from DC specifically to get the tattoo done (I had made an appointment a few weeks earlier), and Chuck worked on it until it was finished, knowing that I was going back to DC the same day. The tattoo took about 5 hours, total. If you live in/around Virginia Beach, I highly recommend Chuck and the Blue Horseshoe. It is a clean and professional establishment and worth the money. As I always say about tattoos ... you get what you pay for. If you want quality you have to be willing to pay a little bit more. So, while my tattoo wasn't cheap, the quality is excellent. It looks as good today as the day it was completed. Read Less

Mike did a back piece for me, and a half sleeve for my man- and he was amazing! Mine was a bit more simple, but he was still able to put a creative edge to it. With my guy's- he brought in a ton of pictures and Mike did some of his own research- and put together an amazing piece for his arm. He gets stopped all the time- everywhere we go, people want to know where he got it done. Last time I walked around with a shirt that shows my back, I had someone ask if they could take a picture of my tattoo. A few weeks after we both had ours done we saw a girl with a super cute tattoo and asked her where she got it done- ""Mike Mcmahon at blue horseshoe!"" she said... we should have know! Mike is fantastic! Read Less

Had a terrible experience there. Several staff members completely rude. Got run-around from "Dr. Tony", General Manager. Artist was not overly friendly. Did not get to approve my tat, was covered up and promptly sent on my way. Am not happy with tat, several elementary mistakes!! I will NEVER give them my business at any location and I am telling everyone that I can tell about my profoundly negative experience there. Artist does not equel Rude. I am not offended by cursing, but every other word I heard was F@#$. Very unprofessional. I've never seen so many "God Complexes" since the last time I was at the doctors/hospital. I could go on and on and on...hopefully someone will get the point. Read Less

well it was time fo rmy birthday finnaly i was of age to get my own piercing. Something to make me,just me. At first i was going to get a tounge piercing but after 3 years of braces i dident think so. In th end i decided that my nose was the way to go. as ecstadic as i was, i was mainly afraid of the needle. If there is anything to make my cringe it's a big needle going threw my flesh and bones. But it was worth it to get something that i realy wanted. So an hour later there i am in Blue Horse Shoe Tattoo. Quivering and scared but oh well. the piercer clamed me down and told me it wasent going to hurt (typical i know) but then he said ""it will hurt but not as much as you think it would be, the intense is worse"" of corse i had no other choice but to believe him. So i got it done and whal-la fineto it is done and over with. I recomend blue horse shoe because the people are nice and they are really clean. after my horrific shock of terror was over iIwent back a second time to get my tummy pierced, and yet again i will go back there to get my eyebrow. I sencerly recomend justin. I dont trust anyone else to get the job done faster. Read Less
