When I walked in, it was obvious this place was run by a bunch of unprofessional rednecks. I should have just turned around and left but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt as rednecks are people too, right? Upon enter the establishment; it was obviously that I had rudely interrupted this one gentleman’s beauty rest as he greeted us with “What do you want?” I said I was here to get a two dermal piercings. He said ok and that the piercer would be with me in a sec and then proceeded to roll over and resume his snoring. Later when asked about the guy who was sleeping out front I was told that he had a long day. Understandable; but why not have a private place in the back somewhere? The other a-hole who was working came from out back and asked the same thing “What do you want?” I said I am waiting for the piercer. While I sat there waiting and listening to the one jerk gasping for what could have been his last gasp of air due to sleep apnea, the other guy’s little kid was running all other the place messing with stuff. The father told him “stop messing with that thing or I’m going to come over there and break your fingers.” CPS, anyone? Finally, I saw the piercer, she was nice and friendly. Prior to this debacle I had two previously success dermals done before at another place with no problems at at. The piercer used the pocket method instead of the punch method. She gave care instructions, of which I followed. The dermals where extremely shallow and it was obvious to me, a layman, that something was not right. Before I left she assured me they were fine and that they would sink down in to the skin and become flush as the other previous dermals. The next day, THE VERY NEXT DAY both of the dermals, anchor and all just popped right out. When I called to explain what happen, I was told “Oh well, no refunds.” I understand no refunds but when someone is just plain incompetent? Please run away from this away place, quick.

I went here to get a simple ear piercing - foreward helix. I was excited and ended up getting my ears pierced in two other locations as well. After a couple of days of issues cleaning it and looking more closely at the piercing, I thought something might be wrong. I started comparing my piercing to some online and realized mine had been pierced too deep with completely incorrect placement. Rather than just going through the cartilage, the piercing was deep inside the ear. One week later, I went to a different place, Dandyland, to see if I could get the piercing adjusted. They had never seen anything like this and ended up taking a photo of the piercing. :( They were kind enough to remove it for me and told me to give it at least a month to heal, then come back. Issues: 1) Piercing location was totally wrong - uneducated piercer? 2) Piercer used a curved needle - apparently not appropriate for this piercing. 3) Metal was surgical stainless steel. While commonly used, gold or titanium are much better. 4) The jewelry was externally threaded vs. internally threaded, making it less sanitary. I will definitely be going back to Dandyland when I am ready to have this piercing redone.

I just had my first tattoo done here. Never doing anything simple or little, I wanted my first tattoo to be rather detailed. I called this shop and asked them If I could send a picture of what I wanted. They gave me an email address and away went the pic. I showed up at the shop a few minutes later and talked to the artist who would be doing the tattoo. His name is Tobias. Looking over the picture I found that he was different from a few artist I had already talked to. First, there was no pressure. Second, he showed great caution of some of the detailing the tatt would require. He asked for time to go over the picture first. A few days later he showed me the stencile of the pic and I was impressed. We did the sit and I have to say I am very pleased with the result. I liked the fact that he had a no pressure, and cautious attitude. Great Place, great Job!

Cant really recommend going here for piercings. I went last year and got my nostril pierced. I dont remember the name of the woman who did it, but while she was very nice and friendly, the piercing was very noticeably crooked and the nose screw they gave me was way too long. I eventually had to let the hole close because once it healed and I wanted to change it out, I couldnt put any other kind of jewelry (like a hoop) in it. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong and went back to the shop, but the piercer (a different person this time) tried and couldnt do anything either. Ive since gotten my nostril pierced again at a different place and had a much better experience there.

After searching for a good place to get an industrial piercing, a friend recommended I go to skin graphics about three months ago. Their advice did not disappoint. I walked in late at night and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The lady who did my piercing (I didnt catch her name) was very nice and was very clear and thorough in explaining everything she did so that I felt comfortable and safe. The shop itself was very clean and orderly, and the piercing was a great price, not too expensive but around a worthy $40. I only wish they had a bigger jewelry selection. Overall it was a great piercing experience, I would definelty go back.

Worst place to get a piercing!!! Not only are they OVERCHARGED but the lady piercer (whom btw has a rudeass attitude) pierced me 2 times (same visit) and did both very very crooked! At the time of the marking it seemed straight until she pierced me! (I was a piercer for 7 years and she seemed very offended because i was) i didnt flinch because this isnt my first piercing. And she did both extreamly crooked She also didnt want to "set up" in front of me. Dont risk it... go elsewhere because not only did i waste money i now need to go somewhere else to fix her mistakes Just be thankful shes not an artist!!!!

Me and my husband got our first tattoo it was a small anchor Jacob was good and was so calm even though I was nervous about it he was fast as well it was a small tattoo design so that was awesome then I got my second tatoo of a mother love from big guero he was the BOMB! HE WAS very talkative to me and my husband keeping my mind off the tattoo and the pain I felt a little and he was very funny so I would recommend both to get a tattoo very awesome job my tattoos all are perfect and very professional with the needles as far as sterile so if you are a first timer for tattoos I recommend Jacob or big guero

Terrible place and terrible customer service! Didnt get a tattoo from this place because when I walked in, no one greeted me or anything, i stood there clueless and I had questions. one guy was just sitting on the couch watching tv and another was just on his computer or whatever. It was so unprofessional, also when I did happen to ask one of the guys a question about a tattoo I was thinking of getting they just told me "itll be 600" thats it, nothing else. Didnt even explain why the price was like that or give me any other ideas. I do not recommend this place! Everyone here is so rude.
