Blvck Rose Tattoo

"Unfortunately I can’t in good confidence recommend this place for piercing. The old reviews that mention piecing are in relation to a previous piercer. My experience with the current staff piercer wasn’t great. I decided to get a simple lobe piercing that ended up bleeding pretty badly for three days from when I got it. I called on day two to get some advice and was told that some blood was normal and if it continues day three I could come in and have them look. On day three I was really struggling and when I called to make sure the piercer was still free as they said, I was told the piercer wasn’t going to be there at all. Everyone I talked to about it seemed to not be too concerned and I lost confidence in the establishment and was feeling pretty hopeless that the piercing was healing correctly. I consulted another piercer in another town about the bleeding and bruising and got a completely different reaction to what I was experiencing. They said I was welcome to come in and have them take a look. Longer story short, the other shop mentioned several issues with the piercings, including that the ear bleeding the worst looked to be pierced at a bit on an angle making everything worse. They did try and offer to save them, but it was such a stressful experience that I told them to just take them out. So again, I can’t in good confidence suggest people go to this shop for any piercings."

"I've been here twice now and both times I've had such great experiences. This last time was the most notable for me. I called on Friday looking for a meaningful to me walk in tattoo. There was hardly any wait and the artist Vex was so nice. I'm absolutely in love with my simple tattoo and I just wanted to say thank you! This shop really is one of the best I've been to. Very inviting and has a generally great vibe."

"A wonderfully-run tattoo & piercing shoppe with a warm environment, very kind and knowledgeable staff. They are very professional, efficient, and can do a wide range of styles. Their jewelry selection is high quality and they uplift each other with knowledge sharing and collaboration. Recommended to all looking for their first session and queer clients looking for a safe, welcoming atmosphere. Prices for piercings and tattoos are very affordable. I recommend booking an appointment in advance before making a long trip to go!"

"Today I had an awesome experience at Blvck Rose Tattoo with Ricardo Prates. Since my arrival everyone was very nice to me and made me feel comfortable. The place is very nice, very clean and have a lot of space so you won’t be in anyone else’s way during your session. It was my very first tattoo and they were very kind to explain everything to me, asked me how I wanted, if it needed any changes and etc. Ricardo and his wife Bruna were very pleasant to talk to and made me feel really good and not scared during the tattoo session, for sure I’ll be going back to have more work done with him! I’m very pleased with the outcome of my very first tattoo."
