Piercing was quick, sanitary, and cheap. They let me keep the stud for free which was nice because other places around here charge a fortune just for the stud. No signs of infection which tells me they keep it clean and professional here. I wish they had more options for jewelry but can’t complain. I’ll come here again for sure.

I had a nose piercing done a week ago at this location. I almost didn’t get it done because the receptionist looked annoyed and was not very friendly. She didn’t greet my partner and I, she just asked what we needed when we walked to the desk. She stated for me to give her my Id and informed us that my partner would have to stay up front while I got the piercing which that part was fine but the tone and body language was not very pleasant. Then piercer however was very friendly which made the experience a little better. Fast forward to today we walk in the shop my friend and I. She’s there for a nose piercing. We were greeted we spoke first letting them know she needed a piercing. The piercer informs me that if I’m not getting anything I have to wait outside due to covid which was different than last week. In my head I’m like ok. I began to inform him that my piercing was sinking underneath my skin and he walked me to the back to fix it long story short. Afterwards while leaving from the back my friends head to the back to get her piercing and there’s a couple in the lobby which is Latino. I did not hear the receptionist tell them that they have to wait outside but, while I stop to zipped my purse she made sure to say you have to wait outside like I didn’t get that same memo when I first came into the shop less than 10 minutes prior. They will never have to worry about me again. I feel no one deserves treatment like that where you spend your money.

While in Chicago I decided to get a dermal. Did Google search and found shops that do piercings. Call a few spots and came across Forever Ink. Called for appointment and pricing, came in a few hours later. The gentleman that did my dermal made me feel comfortable. He explained everything as he was doing it. I was expecting it to be painful, however it wasnt. Process was quick and felt like a pinch, slight sting with a little pressure. I literally winced twice and was ready to do another one after. (I didnt tho 😂) He advise I wait until this one heals. He also explained after care answering all my questions. Pricing included jewelry $50! Im very pleased with the process and my new piercing! I was there for maybe 15mins or less. I absolutely recommend!!!Edit: about a few days or so later got black eye due to piercing (this is normal). I just keep it clean with alcohol wipes and a&d ointment. Bruising and swelling went away about a week later. Also seems to be healing perfectly.

Mario is super cool. He gives it to you straight and doesnt sugar coat it about what you want to do, whether its a fresh tatt, cover up, or piercings. The receptionist is a feisty one, but also very cool😁. Love these guys.

AWESOME! Mario was quick and informative. Never had a tongue piercing and after talking to him for a few minutes he put my mind at ease. The young lady at the desk (forgot her name) was nice & friendly. Definitely going back for tatts and more piercings as well as recommending them.

The guy who did my tattoo was fresh from Puerto Rico and had a very thick accent. I didnt judge him for that though but Im not gonna lie a was a bit nervous as he needed me to keep repeating myself because he wasnt understanding my words and my spanish isnt fluent. I specifically wrote out exactly what I wanted to be written on my lower back and he totally misspelled the words. I didnt even realize it until my boyfriend at the time pointed it out when I got home. So I called the artist the next day and he was at least nice about it and offered to fix it and every thing else came out nicely but I was highly pissed because I drove a long way to and from the shop and paid a lot for a college student on a tight budget. I dont like when my time and money is messed with it wasted.

My wife and I went to get pierced here just yesterday I got snake eyes n she got her nose done which turned out great she loves it. This is the third time Ive had my tongue done, thanks to cook countys finest, 👮🏾‍♂️ so i was a bit nervous thinking how much worse it would be bc of scare tissue but it wasnt bad and tbh it feels more comfortable than the other two times frfr albeit his no clamp method was different but the guy knew his stuff n I still dont know how he did it! Either way Ill b going here again for more n definitely recommending to others...thanks guys!

Worst experience ever. Piercer/owner is never in the shop. He made me wait an hour and once he got here he said he wouldnt do my tattoo because I was complaining. Completely unprofessional and complete waste of time. If you want a $20 piercing go to the Tat Cave. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!

Review №33

First time I came here it was for a nose piercing. The woman was really nice she explained how it would feel and then afterwards what I should do for aftercare. The nose piercing healed beautifully, so I decided to go back for a septum piercing this time it was done by Mario. He was really nice and funny, very professional and he even let me off the hook when I told him that I had came there before to get my nose pierced and received a card for a free piercing after 5 piercings and I mentioned that I actually threw it away. Lol. He gave me another card and punched two holes for me. He was very caring and pierced my septum perfectly. Before leaving he told me how to take care of it just as the lady did. I will definitely be going back when I get my first tattoo, their so nice I wouldnt want to go anywhere else.
