i’ve gone here before for my tragus and tongue piercing. the tragus was alright (4/5) and tongue was ok i guess (3/5) it looked a bit crooked but i think that’s bc it can’t go through the central vein in ur tongue. but those were both done by Adelaide (?).
i went in there yesterday to get my industrial and this random guy was there. i think his name was MK (5’11ish, early-mid 50’s white guy). first he told me that it was gonna have to be done in two piercings. i was hesitant but i agreed.
his technique was awful. he did not tell me to take a breath or even count. he said “are u ready” then proceeded to pierce me in the slowest way i have ever experienced. i think he didn’t get the placement right the first time because i felt a needle reenter and come out of a different spot, which he did not inform me about at all. the only indication i got about any of this was when he said “oh shit”.
then he started on the second piercing on my helix and this is where my real gripe is at. the piercing itself is closer to being straight up and down and the worst part is that i know for a fact that there is no way a real industrial bar is going to line up to go through these two piercings because the angle of the cartilage is mega messed up. i’ll attach some pics to show what i’m talking about.
Adelaide is decent, but please never get anything done by MK. the forward helix looks alright so i might cut my losses and just keep that one, but i’m pretty bummed to not get the industrial i was looking for.

I love this place!! I went to Summer and gave her a picture and a few ideas of what I wanted and she made it happen!! It’s so realistic and cute and exactly why I wanted. She was easy to talk to, and gave me breaks when needed, very professional and talented!! This was my second time getting tattooed by her and I highly recommend her and the entire Ink Spot crew! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 I’m so in love with my tattoo!! I’ll be going again soon with my new tattoo ideas!!

Summer is the BEST!! LOVE this tattoo, love her. Nobody else will ever tattoo on me. 10 Stars would not even be enough.

This place was great. My tattoo artist was Jake and he was awesome. My dog recently passed away and Jake took his paw print and a photo and put him on me. I felt some closure after the tattoo. Everyone there was friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a tattoo.

Went to get a simple nose piercing by Adelaide C. It was during the set up that she stated she was apprentice. Didn’t think to much of it as she said she doesn’t pierce anyone without piercing herself first. And a shop shouldn’t allow someone to pierce anyone without guidance unless they know what they’re doing right? Wrong. I’ve had multiple piercings and wasn’t expecting the nostril to be any different. She struggled getting the needle through properly and when she went to put in the nose ring, she couldn’t get it in at all. Took 15 mins of her trying and the pain was bad but bearable as long as the end result was getting it in. Eventually she decided to put a hoop in because the stud was not happening. From what I’ve been told hoop shouldn’t go in until after the healing process. It turned into a disaster, and because of that she gave me the piercing half off. Should have been free but at that point I just wanted to get out of there. I understand that there is a process and learning curve but I would definitely recommend making sure whoever pierces you at this location is not her. She needs to study under someone a little longer before piercing anyone else.
