Art 2 Ink Studio - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

May 2024

I really didn't want to leave a negative review but I am pretty disappointed with my experience here. A lot of the reviews are months old so I decided to give this shop a try and I definitely regret it.

I booked an appointment for a piece relatively quickly and the artist (Mike) was responsive. We had an appointment that got pushed earlier the day of (which was not a big deal).

I get there and the vibes are good, but I end up waiting almost two hours to actually get the tattoo started. It took about 40 mins to get in the chair.A few of the artists had gone in the back with the customers and I'm almost certain were smoking weed which took another hour!

DO NOT GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCAMMED. Long story short: Their piercer in '22 messed up my nostril piercing. I returned many months after to fix the fact it was next to impossible to put a ring back in. They now have a new piercer. This b claimed she had to repierce, took out the ring I had in, THREW IT AWAY and put the other ring I provided in. She used no tools, just tiny sanitary napkins and did something I myself had done and didn't realize this was all the "professional" would do. Then she charged me $30, all while huffing and puffing about looking through the small trash bin she tossed my jewelry in and not letting me look through it despite my offering to more than once. She hung up on me otp and refused to own up to all her bs. She did me dirty, LITERALLY THROWING AWAY MY JEWELRY and acted like I did something wrong. Good thing I know people. Read below for details. In December 2022, the piercer at this place pierced my nostril at a weird angle (in addition to certainly hitting a vein causing tons of blood to poor down my face). Over 6 months later, I'd still been having trouble putting a hoop ring back in after taking it out to clean it. The ring would get bloody again as I kept trying to get it through. Last week, I just couldn't put the ring back in, so I placed another ring I had purchased elsewhere in, a stud. I liked the stones in the ring, but thought the metal was too dark. I went back to the place two days ago to simply get the hoop back in. They have a different piercer now. I told her what I wanted and never once said I didn't want the ring I was wearing. Just wanted the hoop in. I never said septum, but she responded clarifying what a septum is cuz she said I uttered septum. I told her she misheard me, but I should have taken that very seriously. This person continued to mishear me through every exchange we had. She said she had to repierce the hole, which was some con just to get money. She simply poked the ring I provided hard enough to make a new opening on the inside. This I definitely had done before. No tools used, only a few tiny square sanitary napkins. She threw the ring I first had on in the trash (a small bin). I asked for it and she realized she threw it away and kept saying I said I didn't want it. I never said I wanted to get rid of it or that I didn't want it. I just said I wanted the hoop back in. Also, it was not hers to throw away. She was in the wrong 100%, but as unprofessional as she is, she took no responsibility for her throwing my jewelry out. She made it such a big deal that she'd have to look through the trash for it and sanitize it. I offered more than once to look myself and she wouldn't let me. So I stepped out while she looked cuz the tattoo artist there added that it'd take 20-30min to sanitize. She had 2 hours to look for the ring that night and still didn't find it. She called to complain that she threw out my jewelry and had to look for it and said I had to pay 'just' $30 for her to push a ring harder into a piercing I already had. I said that I will pay, but the price should factor in the fact she threw away my ring. It is nuts that I was expected to pay to leave with less than what I came in with. She insisted that it is just a service charge, disregarding that her service was negligent and dumb. I didn't even say that I shouldn't have to pay at all since I got the initial piercing at that same place and they messed it up. I should not have to pay to fix their mistake. I did not say this cuz I knew this woman would not comprehend. Still, she misheard me and said'you don't want to pay at all'. I clarified that I would pay just the price should be moderated. And after I pushed back on paying the full charge of $30, since she tossed a ring I liked, she said, 'ok if you're gonna be like that, I'll talk to you later,' and hung up. Then when I called back, she said the phone had disconnected. Sure. I returned to the place, and she c
