So here’s a fun story. My boyfriend and I went to forever ink to get a very simple tattoo done. It was a shadow of a silhouette. Nothing detailed or anything. So our tattooer Mario aka«Carnal» was very helpful and very nice. And that’s really the only reason I tried my best not to write this. Anyways, a little back ground on my boyfriend? My boyfriend has had multiple tattoos done, by multiple people. He also has a very painful spine problem(scoliosis), that being said, he can handle pain relatively well and has never been in pain when in came to tattoos. Mario mutilated my boyfriends skin to the point where he was in so much pain he was close to tears. But we let it slide, we figured Mario just had a heavy hand. A couple days later, while the tattoo was healing we noticed a big bump of ink cluster. We call and texted Mario about it and he said it was the tattoo«just healing» again we let it slide we figured we’d give it a couple more days. Days later, the tattoo was SO bad it turn purple, blue, pink, and green. THISWASANALLBLACKTATTOO. I called Mario again and nothing. I called the shop and we had«just missed him.» I contacted other tattoo artists that I know for help, and they all came up with the conclusion, after inspecting it, that the arm was over worked. They all said it was over worked. My next step was to confront Mario, not even ask him for money back or anything at first, just wanted to see how we could deal with the situation. I spoke with another artist there because once again… Mario was not there. They assured me that they would make Mario contact me and offered to have him fix it. Never did I get a call from him. Never did I get a message back. Nothing. My word of advise is AVOID this place. There are a million other better places to go to.

I got my septum pierced with my friend in august at the old Chicago St. location. The piercer was a girl named Vanessa, and the piercing was ok, although she didnt use a clamp and I do feel like my piercing is slightly crooked. She also cleaned my nose with rubbing alcohol(not cool). Worse than that, they pierced me with externally threaded jewelry which is jUST TERRIBLE for a fresh piercing. I went back in to have it looked at because it wasnt feeling too good and Vanessa said she couldnt see me because she was leaving and to talk to this other guy. the room i talked to him in was kinda dirty and he was just tattooing some other guy in there. He was acting kind of unprofessional and even my mother thought so. I dont really recommend getting a piercing here, the guy even told me to put Neosporin on my piercing, which is crazy if you know anything about piercings, I’m pretty sure he also told me I could use alcohol on it. I just don’t recommend this place. I only went here because you get $ 20 every 6th or 7th piercing but I’m definitely not going back.
