I went here this weekend for a tragus piercing with three other girls looking to do the same. We had scheduled appointments earlier that day. The shop itself is a little hole in the wall from the exterior. Zee did our piercings. He would not allow even one person to go back as a support to the girl getting pierced, but ok, we got over that. He pierced my ear and when I couldnt hear, I explained that the blood trickled into my ear. He said Im imagining it; its an "illusion" were his exact words. Yea? I turned my head for him so the blood spilled out on his table. Just sayin. Ive had multiple piercings and tattoos from various places over the years and none of the artists were ever as rude and condescending as this guy. His prices are excessive for what youre getting. I wont go back.

Mr zee was rude and uncaring to my situation. I called the day before to reschedule because something came up. He has a policy where you can reschedule with a 24 hour notice with no loss of deposit. Well he told me I would lose deposit because it was " short notice" so apparently because I was calling at 21 hours and not 24 he could care less and wanted to ether keep my deposit or try and force me to come in. He is only getting two stars due to the fact that I guess legally I was short the full 24 hour by calling at 21 hours. So in a way he doesnt have to do anything for me. However Mr. zee was totally uncaring to my situation and came off as rude so I will not go here again and he lost my business and future business over this. I do not recommend this place.

Zee is OBVIOUSLY burnt out and it shows in his work and attitude. I caught myself saying "this guy should retire and do his customers a favor." He is lazy (in my opinion) and prefers to do stuff right off the wall (flash). Even then, he will short cut it if you let him get away with it. On the other hand, if you are VERY insistant and agressive about what you want, and get something drawn up ahead of time (preferably by one of the other artists), he can do an incredible job. TREAT HIM like an an employee of YOURS (you are paying HIM), get something drawn up ahead of time, and you may get a good tattoo. Walk in and pick something off the wall (which he prefers since it is easy money) and you may very well get something below average in quality.

A deaf friend of mine went in to get a tattoo at Studio Zee recently and was physically shoved out the door by the tattoo artist. He should have been arrested for assault, but there were no witnesses. When a hearing friend went back with my deaf friend to follow-up and find out why they were behaving with such ignorance and hostility, the receptionist first lied and denied having had dealt with a deaf client earlier in the day. When pressed, however, she admitted that there was a deaf client in, but "I cant read lips, so I couldnt help him." ????? He communicates using pen and paper. Surely she can read!? Unless youre into supporting discriminatory, ignorant and violent businesses, Id stay far away from Studio Zee.

The work was good. The owners business practices are unacceptable and dishonest. Also very rude. Quoted price with full description of tattoos desired. Reservation made with deposit. Work completed. He raised the price. "It was more involved than I thought". Really!! They were two small hearts with crossed lines--took 20 min. each, if that. Bait and switch. I went there out of convenience. Highly recommend this parlor be avoided. The best tattoo establishment in the State--Lovecraft in Hamden. Should have waited and went there.

I agree with Nick, very confused by the negative reviews. All the staff was very courteous, knowledgeable, and what a funny group of people. I have had 3 sessions with Liz so far on a very detailed piece and she has done an awesome job especially with having patience with me in being so particular with the design. Cant say good enough things, I have a friend that went to go tattooed by her after seeing her work on me and more of my friends are inclined to go see her for their work too.

Switched my nose stud out with a hoop and did not incorporate the ball. He clamped the ring shut with pliers and since my piercing (which was perfectly healed for 6 weeks) is now infected. I was also charged an outrageous amount for a 5 minute replacement.
