Leavenworth Tattoo & Piercing Haus

I was impressed by this place at first. They seemed very knowledgeable. However, 1 month after visiting Leavenworth my nose piercing got very infected. I took the ring out so I could clean it. I then could not get the piecing back in. In a panic I called a local shop. I went to the shop and she proceeded to tell me it was infected and still hurting a month later because he pierced it on the thickest part of my nose. I always thought it looked a little different from everyone else…
She said there was probably no chance she could get the ring back in. She offered to piece it again for $ 25 in the correct place (1 CM lower). After having a second piecing I can tell you that my first one hurt REALLY BAD, he was not smooth and should not have hurt for a solid month after. Also as a result of piecing it in the wrong spot the inside of the ring went up my sinus, causing me pain.
If you do use them I would really make sure he puts the mark where you want it. I didn’t really pay too much attention at the time because I was nervous.

My wife and I went in for matching tattoos. It was an easy trace and fill job. It’s a husband and wife team. The wife did a great job on my wife, but the husband made a mess of my arm. I should have known because of how bad it hurt. He went way too deep and the color blead outside the lines and some outlines actually continued past the tattoo. I gave it a month to heal and it looked terrible and my arm was scarred. I went to a local guy to clean it up the best he could and it looks much better, but you can still see some of the bleeding and scarring. I would avoid this place or only use the wife if you must.

So, just as the person who left the other review I’ve been to this shop on two different occasions. The first time was to get my tongue pierced, which I did & will talk about that later. The second because I was considering getting a small tattoo done. (about the size of a quarter).
My first experience was interesting. The (owner I presume) was fairly sweet & polite as I was talking to her before I even had told her I wanted a piercing. The other guy that was there didn’t say anything because he was doing a tattoo.
Well, after some small chat I told her I wanted to get my tongue pierced, she handed me the waiver and once I filled that out she asked the guy doing that tattoo if «he wanted to do it or if she should?» That was VERY alarming to me but I went along with it, lol. The actual piercing went good, was done correctly & all was well. No infections, no problems, etc. In fact, I didn’t even have ANY after pain what so ever nor did it hurt when I got it done. However she failed to give me proper care instructions, and I had to ask a lot of questions because she didn’t really give me any information, what so ever… Even after asking a lot of questions I was STILL confused & had to google some things later that day.
I wasn’t told what food to stay away from, etc. I really had to ask everything and my first question I asked before she actually did the piercing and rudely replied that she we can worry about that after we are done. Well, she never did tell me so I had to ask again… With my tongue swollen and bleeding. — Hence why I wanted to ask before hand.
Infact, one this she did tell me on her own was how to change out the piercing to another one when the swelling goes down. How to be quick about it, so it doesn’t close up, etc. — After a few google searches you should NOTTTTTTTTTT change out the ring until at a very minimum of two weeks.

Second visit my sister & i walked in, and we were just looking at their portfolio and what not. The woman who did my piercing was on the phone with Unilocal,actually. & was having issues with reviews or something of the sort. Didn’t look good because first thing that came to my mind was bad reviews.
As she was busy, the guy who was last time doing the tattoo started talking with us. He was awesome! Super social & funny.
However, as we were looking through their book we weren’t impressed. And some of the artwork done was like «WHY WOULD YOU PUT THIS UP HERE???» type of artwork. It was that bad. Some of them were fairly good but some of them terrible and I just felt horrible for the person who actually GOT the tattoo on them.
I think the only reason why they remain in business is because they are RIGHT in the middle of tourist town.
Will I go back? Yeah probably. If I wanted another piercing. I’ll just have to look up aftercare beforehand. Although I will never and I do mean never even consider getting a tattoo there.

I’ve been here on two separate occasions. The first was to receive a piercing and the second was to have a small tattoo done.
My piercing experience was great! The gentleman who preformed it was educated with his craft and explained all things the way a professional should. The small piercing room seemed clean and tidy, however there was no visible autoclave or sterilization area to really see how clean it may be.
My second trip here was to receive a simple tattoo. It was two words, in black traditional font, on my rib cage. This should have been a VERY simple task for a experienced tattoo artist to properly execute, however the end result produced very jagged and uneven lines. Because I went during a very busy day, I was rushed out and told to come back after it healed for a touch up. I called twice to schedule an appointment for this to be done, and the tattoo artist (Geisha) asked that I please call back during an ‘off season’ because she did not have time. I eventually gave up and went to a different artist to have the tattoo fixed.
All in all, I would return for another piercing, but I would not recommend Geisha’s work as an artist to anyone.
