HARD KNOCKS EMPIRE

Critical: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, ValueTo those who may be reading this I’m a local body piercer that’s been in the industry for well over 6-7yrs and to say the least this establishment is very unclean and unprofessional with outrageous prices. Upon entering this shop with the intention to purchase some extra piercing needles many if not all the artists were smoking and drinking in the main customer waiting area with their “OPEN” sign turned off during business hours and when asked who I may talk to about purchasing some piercing needles I was told to come back in an hour. After waiting an hour in the parking lot and going back into the shop one of the artists decided to finally help me with what I came to get and asked once again to purchase 10 14gauge piercing needles which keep in mind only ever go for cents if not a couple dollars a piece and when he was ringing me up at the counter told me my total was going to be $40 for 10 needles which is extremely over-priced for needles, I usually only ever pay $10 max for 15 needles and being charged $40 for only 10 was definitely fishy so out of curiosity since they were selling plain titanium Jewelry as well I asked to see some dermal Jewelry and wanted to know how much it would be for just one of the screw on balls which he responded with $25 FOR JUST THE BALL NOT EVEN INCLUDING THE ENTIRE JEWELRY PIECE, common plain titanium screw on balls also AGAIN only ever go for cents a piece 10¢-15¢ to be exact. Whether you are a fellow artist looking for tattoo/piercing supplies or are a customer in the market for a new tattoo or piercing I would HIGHLY advise you to steer clear from this place, definitely a very sketchy establishment where they have intentions to rip off vulnerable people and have no remorse of doing so.To those who may be reading this I’m a local body piercer that’s been in the industry for well over 6-7yrs and to say the least this establishment is very unclean and unprofessional with outrageous prices.

Critical: Cleanliness, Professionalism, QualityDon’t go here unless you want a ghetto tattoo and scam artists for customer service. I scheduled my first appt, they had gotten robbed the night prior so we rescheduled. Followed up to get it rescheduled and never heard back, they also rejected my refund request. Would rate zero stars if I could
