Enduring Tattoo & Body Piercing

I ONLY went in for a nose piercing....
I have watched several people get piercings. My daughter has a piercing. One of my schoolmates got a piercing from this place recently. I highly trust her judgment, so I decided to go today.....I believe the chic was Amanda.....(Correction : It wasn't Amanda, she resigned last weekend. She was kind enough to inbox me on FB after reading this review). So there's a new person there, that obviously has no idea what she's doing.....
LISTEN!!!!!!!!!
I have over 25 tattoos, my tongue has been pierced twice, I have a tragus piercing & my eyebrows are micro bladed.....When I tell you NONE of them sent a chill through me like the nose piercing today!!!
She pierced it, something went wrong & the jewelry wouldn't go through....So she had to do it again...
Out of all the nose piercings that I have witnessed, I have NEVER EVER, did I mention NEVER seen blood???
Well trust was the FIRST time & I'll be damned if it was MY NOSE BLEEDING!!!!!
Horrible experience!!!!!!!!!!!
And what made it worse, she had the nerve to giggle.....Can't tell you how damn ANGRY I was!!!!!
Just my luck that I recorded videos!!
I hate the fact that Yelp will only let you add a video that's less than 15 seconds.....Which SHOULD have been how fact this took place.....NOT!!!!
It took about 10 minutes afterwards for my nose to stop running blood.
Couldn't post the videos but I added screenshots from both videos....

I don't normally do this, I don't like to mess with peoples livelihood, but the results of my tattoo warrant a review. I have been to Jason before for a small line work tattoo. From that experience I knew he appreciated and liked doing traditional tattoos. When I found the knee tattoo I wanted I trusted him to be able to do it because of this.

I came in, showed him the picture, and he had me lay down and started drawing on my knee freehand, which is very cool, but he did not check in with me at any point to see if I liked the placement or the sizing until he had finished it, (three layers of marker and pen). The tattoo looked crooked to me, and he told me it was because of the shape of my leg, which is fine, but I would rather the tattoo look straight. I asked him to just rotate it a hair to make it look more even to my eyes. He decided to redraw it on cling film and then trace it. I let him do that, he put it back on, and it definitely shifted, more than what I would have liked it to, but it looked straight enough. I felt uncomfortable looking at it and taking my time to decide if it was what I wanted, almost rushed. I did not feel fully comfortable continuing to change it, (one of my main gripes with any tattoo artist, moving stencils should be okay, this is on my body permanently!), so I let him start.

I showed Jason the colors that I wanted for the flowers and the leaves. I told him I like the gradient green and the bright red/pink, (I have attached it). He picked it out 2 colors. Not even close to what I asked for, but he had me playing down so I couldn't see everything he was doing so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He took creative liberties on some of the flowers without discussing it with me, (and executed it poorly). One of the flowers he had to freehand a bit because the transfer wasn't complete and it is HUGE compared to the other flowers and in my opinion completely throws off the balance of the tattoo. And I hate to say this but the work is sloppy as fuck. Didn't keep the color inside of the lines, color consistency/opaqueness is terrible, some line work looks like shit. It's just upsetting. This is my first leg tattoo and I was very nervous. This was not a welcoming or comfortable environment. It was very "I'm the artist and I know what I am doing," which is understandable to a point, but you also want your customers to be happy. Now I am going to find someone to fix it. I have even thought about having someone cover it up and I have had it for a week and a half.

This was not a difficult tattoo. An apprentice could do this. I try not to be a difficult client. I apologized continuously for having him make the change that I wanted. Then I paid $240 for this work +tip

I got my septum pierced. It was very quick. I didn't receive any aftercare instructions or tips. So, afterwards i just did some googling and looked at some YT videos on the aftercare and how to flip it without messing up the healing.

Came in with my sister on a Friday night to get nipple piercings. The receptionist was super friendly, greeted us upon arrival. Told us there was someone ahead of us but didn't take long before we went in. Amanda was super knowledgeable and kind. Trays were clean and everything used was sanitized which I appreciated very much! Amanda was Very patient with my sister who was panicking during her piercings. Took the time to make us feel comfortable and safe. Mind you, this was both of ours second time getting nipple piercings (not previously done by this shop) so my sister was pretty worried about getting them done wrong. Definitely will come back for more. Amanda also did my septum piercing which took less than 10 seconds. She's very caring, helps you relax if in distress. Highly recommend this place! Staff was amazing. Definitely cheaper than other places too..

I came back to get a double nose piercing, Amanda was the one who did the piercing for me. Everyone was super friendly and overall the whole store was very inviting and professional!

Amanda gave me the ins and outs of the how to take care of the piercing and made me feel like I had a 100% understanding on maintaining aftercare.

I snagged one nose ring on my mask and when I came in to get to checked they took care of it and gave me advice on how to treat it.

I love coming here and will continue to come here for all my piercing needs

I took my daughter in for a septum piercing yesterday, and I had to take an important phone call. The phone call took about 5 minutes. In that time, my daughter and a gentleman that was waiting in the waiting room told me that Jason (the piercer) told my daughter "I have news for you, but regardless of what anyone says about you out there, you are NOT PERFECT". My daughter was shy and nervous because this was her first real piercing. She asked him if he would give her a warning before he sticks her. He said "Why" and she said "Because I have some anxiety " and he said "Why would I care about your anxiety ".

When I came in, all was fine and I thought he was a nice and informative person. Boy was I wrong! I even tipped him $10.

I came in on a sunday night to get my septum pierced. They were pretty busy but the piercer got everyone in and out very quickly. I was given about a 45 minute wait time and it only took 25. The piercer Amanda was so nice. She did an amazing job, it was so quick and painless. Definitely recommend this place and will now only be going here for all my piercing needs!

I highly recommend them especially Amanda, she had a lot of patience with me getting my nipples pierced.Amanda did an awesome job she was very comforting,I will be coming back. The receptionist was also very nice I truly recommend them

The worst please do not come here, this was my second time here and the first time it was fine I had a lady pierce me and she was nice and easy, came in on Saturday w my brother and his fiancé and Jason was really rude just told us to fill out the paperwork and jabbed his finger on the counter when we forgot to fill something out, later he told us "he didn't care who went first but to hurry up" and then proceeded to tell me that my nose was not perfect and weird, when I requested a specific size he said he didn't have it but ended up having it, after he pierced it he shoved his finger up my nose to clean it but just ended up hurting me more, please listen to all these reviews and do not come here

Got a tattoo last year in December of 2019 by one of the artists working there at the time. First tattoo so I was so excited to see it and was disappointed by how it was done. It wasn't completely colored in, the lines are godawful and the 999 are all three different shapes. Completely horrible and I showed them upon the tattoo being healed a few weeks in and was promised that they would retouch it for free. I ended up having to leave and come back 6 months later but was now told I'd have to be charged for the tattoo. Horrible, they hired terrible tattoo artist that probably did more god awful tattoo's only for them to go and act like it's not their fault because he doesn't work there anymore. I'm glad he does not but I still have to wear this tattoo I am unsatisfied with. Would not recommend this place at all, houston has so many better shops to go to. Side note- my girlfriend and her brother got their nose pierced here also and they can attest that Jason was rude to them behind the scenes. Saying things like your nose is Weird! Nobody said your big body was ass built weird? Also, Jason hire better workers and take responsibility for their actions as it's your shop on the line, not mine!
Edit- Jason ended up messaging me about how he said that their noses weren't identical but hearing it from my girlfriend, she said he called it weird and can attest to it. Also a very condescending tone and a carefree attitude to work with me. Also said something about a 6 month window when I was never told?? I got my tattoo, the guy barely said a word and I was done. That was it. Then when I called about a touch up, they basically gave me the runaround that it was too new so I waited till it healed but I left houston during that time. He claims I want a new tattoo or changes tattoo when really the lines are horrible and it isn't even fully colored in, in some sections, so I'd just like that touched up. Hardly a different tattoo. I'd rate this less than 1 star if i could. Somehow, a majority of reviewers can agree Jason does not have good customer service and should be canned. End of the day besides the fact that all the above happened, I still left with a terrible tattoo and for that reason alone the star will stay. Have a good one!
