Evolution Tattoo & Piercing

It is ok. My piercing is still hurting and swollen but it is a lot better then my friend who got his ear pierced at this place. They hit an artery and he was bleeding everywhere. He had to go to the hospital. I have also heard multiple horror stories!

Wasn't too sure about this place but my friend and I were in a little bit if a time crunch as I was moving out I state. Wow I'm super glad we went here! She was pierced by Stefan, and I was done by Zach. Both men were super friendly, very easy to talk to, clear with after care instructions, and personable. Prices are decent and ship is super clean.

I'm used to places like this (10 tats deep!) but this was my very first piercing. I got my cartilage done. Zach saw that I was nervous and REALLY made the difference for me. He was quick and informative and made me laugh a lot instead if focusing on my freaking out (haha.)

These guys are way worth checking out and they're right on the avenue so it's not a big hunt for some upstairs shop or something. Try them!

i seriously wish i would have gone here first!!! Good customer service!! Very knowledgeable and helpful!!! I really feel like stephen went above what other piercers would do to do the job right even if it was slightly inconvenient for him.Very happy customer right here!!=) OH AND IT WAS $25 CHEAPER THAN THE HOLE THING!      Below is my story:

Several months ago, i went to get my nose pierced. i had set something up at Evolution Tattoo, but was thrown off by another shop (The Hole Thing) a block up and ended up going there by mistake thinking maybe i heard the name the wrong. I got my nose pierced at The Hole Thing. after six months, i had to take it out b/c it was always extremely inflamed and wasn't healing b/c the jewelry was way too big. it was constantly snagging on anything and everything b/c it stuck so far out from my face. Also, the post was always sticking out my nostril, causing it to tickle to the point i was sneezing all the time and i actually ripped it out on reflex on more than one occasion. Well, after i took it out and let that heal, i decided to give getting my nose pierced another shot.

I went back to The Hole Thing. I vaguely explained what i thought the issue was in hopes of getting a hoop so it wouldn't dangle out of my nostril and poke out my nose and snag on stuff. As i explained, the girl just looked at me like she wanted to laugh and went in the back and came back out and said they were all out of jewelry...it wasn't meant to be.

Then i remembered seeing Evolution Tattoo and i went there. the guy i initially spoke to was very nice but informed me that children weren't really allowed (i had my 2y/o son w me). Although it was shop policy, he tried to think of ways to somehow accommodate me. I explained i lived a half hour away, so he went got the actual piercer to come speak to me.

The piercer's name was stephen. He was very nice and agreed to go ahead and pierce my nose. I told him my past issue with my last nose piercing and that was when he informed me that it sounded like the jelwery was too big. He explained that he could actually fit the jewelry to fit my nose so it didn't bother me and i didn't have get a hoop if that wasn't what i wanted.

I can't say what a difference this piercing is from the other!!!!!!! I don't even know it's there!!! it's amazing not having something constantly tickling the inside of my nose!!  He noticed right off the bat that i had really small nose, which i feel like like any professional piercer should have seen and made the appropriate adjustments, and then he even asked me to come back in a week so he could make it even smaller after the swelling (if any) had gone down so i had no issues. he did all this w/o even bashing the other shop, even though i had totally opened the door for that.

Highly recommended!!!!
