360 Blues & Tattoos Studio

Everything was fine and dandy when I first got the cartilage piercing. It didn't really bother me at first when the only thing I was asked was which dot to get the piercing in. I didn't get a choice of jewelry like most shops or asked which angle I would prefer to have it pierced at. After two days, the piercing became swollen and infected. I had been cleaning it every day with a cleaning solution I purchased at another tattoo shop. I went in to a doctor after it hadn't cleared up using sea salt and other remedies that were suggested over the phone. My cousin had gone in with me and done hers as well, which also became infected shortly after getting it. The doctor said that the piercer had most likely not cleaned the metal properly as well as having pierced it at a bad angle, making it prone to infection. Since my cousin and I both got nasty infections after cleaning them properly, I would suggest veering away from 360 Blues and going down the street to The Crypt. Got my ear repierced there once the infection had healed through antibiotics with no problems at all.
I am still giving the shop two stars because the people were friendly and the shop had a nice ambiance, but I definitely will not be going back.

I'm back!!! I met the owner tonight and he is awesome!!!! Had a great conversation while being decorated :) This guy REALLY knows his stuff. He has been in the business for 13 years I believe he said and takes pride in his art. He has a real knack for helping you make your tattoo your own and really gets that it is a very personal and permanent part of you. He talked about his artists and how he has worked with some for many years. Same professional service from before. Everyone is friendly, professional, extremely helpful, and friendly. The place is clean and you could not ask for better artists. Absolutely amazing work. I love them!

You all need a shop manager or someone with some better customer service skills than the guy who "helped" (for lack of a better word) us...went in with and idea of a tattoo my husband and I wanted and the guy acted confused when I asked him to draw something up (I even took in my crappy drawing)...aren't you an artist? He was very lackadaisical to begin with so my expectations were low but get it together please...especially on a Saturday when you know business is flowing!
