Big Mike offered a clitoral hood piercing for free for my 18th birthday. He convinced me by explaining how it was pain-free and required no down time. He also lied and said I had to be stimulated for the piercing. The phrase he kept repeating was "Whats the quickest, fastest way to get you turned on?" He was touching my genital area without gloves and offered to perform oral sex. I told him to leave the room if he wanted me to get stimulated. As he left, he said he would knock on the door to enter again but then just barged in. Mike finally realized I was not interested in him and gave up, saying he would perform the piercing without me being stimulated... I freaked out and asked if that would be okay. He said it would just hurt more... YA RIGHT!! Just about everything he said to me was a lie. I felt very violated and molested like Rhonda... I wish I thought of writing this report earlier because it happened to me in March of 2006. Maybe if I had already posted my experience, she and potentially/probably others wouldnt have had theirs. I definitely also felt toyed with because he laughed at my frantic attempt to open the door and get out as soon as the piercing was done. Yes, I was naive but it was barely, literally my 18th birthday... I ended up taking the piercing out a few days later anyways because I could totally see/feel it being off-center. The tattoo I originally went in for came out bad too, inconsistent lines and scarred skin. I tried to report the incident to the cops but they didnt take it seriously. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

I was interested in getting a small tattoo.. called in and had the strangest hello. The employee who answered simply said "TATTOO" without claiming their business name or anything. I said "Hello?" as I was confused... and he once again said "Tattoo" I then proceeded with my question "How much would a small text tattoo generally cost? Only two words" He couldnt tell me their rate, even though I had already seen on their site that it was $50. He instead told me to come in. The drive isnt quite near-by... but I went anyway. The location is a bit odd. Upon coming in, theres nowhere to sit as you wait. When they had me sign the form, I realize that neither had bothered to check my license properly. They just said "Fill this out" I could have totally BSd my license and they wouldnt have known. Overall, the gentleman who did the artwork wasnt rude but then again wasnt the friendliest guy ever. Although, I do give props because being that it was my first tattoo on a very sensitive spot, he was very gentle and careful. I was looking at the details of the tattoo today and I notice a few flaws. But overall am very satisfied with it. HOWEVER, I took notice that if I had not asked about aftercare, they would have never bothered to inform me. He did answer my questions honestly, and what he told me was the truth because I had learned this prior to going in. I think they really need to have written instructions on aftercare and give clients a copy of the signed form.

I went to this location to get my nostril pierced based on a friends recommendation. I am glad I went. The shop is very small and feels a little strange when you first walk in, there is a chain link fence in the middle of the room to separate the front from his work area. Big Mike is the owner and operator. He may look a little intimidating, but he is very nice and professional. After signing the forms, he took me back to the chair, took the materials out of their sterilized packages, marked my nose, and told me to close my eyes and not open them until he told me to. Afterwards, we chatted about a tattoo that I am thinking of getting and he showed me his portfolio. Also, the price was very good, only $20. Usually, I shy away from piercing places that charge so little, but I am satisfied and think that he is honestly just trying to give a good deal to people.

Mike is a liar and a dirt bag. he offers apprenticeships for free because he is a pervert. I should have listened when my friend who told me he tried to get her naked to take pictures of her privates, he said it was for his porn company sponsor. I went there because I wanted to learn to tattoo and hes is always bragging about these awards he wins. His work is good but not worth humiliation of having to take my clothes off and me give him a bj just to apply for it. And he refuses to wear a condom when we had intercourse and now I regret ever meeting him. I wish I would have read the other reviews before going there looks like im not the first one hes taken advantage of.

Dont know how they have a 3.6 rating when clearly it should be a 1.6 dont know any names but big dude that im guessing is the owner is pretty rude, i mean i went in for a piercing and as i walked in i stood there while he was scrolling on his phone, then finally decided to put it down and ask we what i needed. No hello no nothing lol then i remebered my friend and i had gone there about 6 years ago and it clicked that they stay rude, i even persuaded my friend to go somewhere else but she jusy went for it since it was a spontaneous belly piercing. You can definitely find a way better location.

I went there with my sister to get a piercing and we were real nervous about getting it done but we were able to ask all the questions in the world, before and after or during we were able to talk to him he made us feel comfortable and kept it professional everything was in sterilized packages and opened right in front of me and the process was quick and easy no pain afterwards just felt a little pinch like he said and then it was done and over with. Will definitely becoming back for more piercings!!! Prices are great and customer service was excellent!! Thank you big mike

Professionalism at its worst...Mike did my nipple & genital piercings no cleansing (good thing I took a shower before going), no written aftercare instructions only verbal after I asked what to do which I later found out were incorrect care instructions. I also felt violated,molested and played with. My feelings were confirmed when I went to Dion at Provocative Tattoo and Piercing where I encountered Professionalism at its best and was treated with dignity and respect and a clean private room. Mike could certainly learn a few things from Dion.

so $20 body piercings are going to end up costing you a whole lot more when the shop and piercer are not clean.. went for a lip piercing and mike touched 2 dif doors, didnt open the equipment in front of her and expected her to let him do the piercing... and she said she didnt want the piercing anymore he said she owed him money for set up.. and when we walked out he threated her saying he had her address and she would be sorry... what a JERK.... and his work i saw in the shop wasnt even that good ive seen better by newbies
