I walked in for a simple tattoo and came out with a disaster. Nothing about the tattoo was good and to top it all off the Roman numerals weren't even in line with each other. I even went back and when I showed the artist who did it he acted like there was nothing wrong with it. Never going back. Having it redone elsewhere.
Review Source:I should've done my research on piercings before I went to do this, but nothing -too- terrible has happened, so I'm not that upset, but my experience here could have been exponentially better.
I went in to get a helix (cartilage) piercing. 4 of them.
I paid up front - 5 bucks per piercing. Not bad right?? Maybe thats what blinded me to everything else.
A smallish light skinned hispanic girl got me in a chair. She sterilized my ear and after telling her where I wanted the piercing did all four of them quick as a whistle. But she used a gun (and i let her, I know I know.)
She said I was done, not to use any type of alcohol or q tips to clean my ear and that I was free to go.
I wasn't told how to clean it, or given any sort of liquid to help do it. All she told me was some stuff NOT to do without telling me what I should do.
Now I've got these 4 studs in - which hurt like hell (and would've anyway but still...)
Though one of the studs bleeds a little, I'm almost certain that my cartilage wasn't shattered and I didn't have a blow out, but I'm making plans to see another piercer about switching my studs for something more comfortable and easy to clean.
To it's credit though, the store is large and clean.
I was freaking out because my nose piercing of 4 years suddenly had a bump next to it that eventually began to bleed. I couldn't figure it out and information/advice on the internet varied. I was just about to go to a dermatologist, but decided to go to a reputable parlor first to get their advice and see if it was anything really serious. The place is nice and clean, the people are super friendly and informed. The guy took a look at it for free and told me that it was definitely not an infection. He gave me advice on how to help it heal and answered all my questions without even attempting to get me to buy anything. I finally offered to buy a new nose ring, which was only $5 and he put it in for free!! Would recommend this place to anyone in the area. Best parlor on flatbush!
