East Coast Tattooing & Body Piercing

"Had an amazing experience here! Great staff and comfortable environment! Loved the vibe. Got a nose piercing with Jess and she was super sweet, professional and quick! Afterwards I got an amazing deal on a tattoo from Anthony and I couldn’t be happier. He was so easy to talk to and his line work was awesome! Im definitely coming back to their shop!"

"I came as a walk in to get my lip re-pierced on the left side after a different piercing shop had left my snakebites a little mismatched. She did a great job listening to exactly where I wanted it pierced and she absolutely nailed it! The placement is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with them! She also changed the jewelry in my other lip piercing to match. Whole thing was very quick and painless, would definitely recommend getting pierced here"

"I’ve had probably the worst experience here today. I went here before years ago and had a pleasant experience with Frankie ( I believe ) but this time he was not there and apparently he’s the only one who is friendly. I am not new to tattoos and have had them for over a decade. We walked in and the girl at the front was looking at us dumbfounded and stood there until we were asking if they’re available. Her overall attitude was super bland and then when we explained what myself and my two other friends wanted they immediately judged us. We were uncomfortable but sat down and looked at fonts to give them the benefit of the doubt. They soon shut our idea down but saying “it’s not possible because of how the font is and how the detail will not show”. The request made was not hard as we went down the block and got it done. The one guy with tattoos all over his face made us feel like we were dumb or new to tattoos when we are not. If the place does not do fine line and detailed tattoos, they should have just said that instead of gaslighting us and making us feel dumb/unimportant. If you are looking for a tattoo make sure it’s a basic 101 tattoo from a tattoo book from the 2000s or just go down the block."

"terrible customer service. my friends came from new york and we were trying to do a small set of matching tattoos, immediately when we walked in the receptionist was standoffish. after when we were requesting a small 333 they were all giving us a hard time when we were asking for help and requesting a thinner font. we were asked to just look for fonts on a computer and they were making us feel dumb or like we’ve never gone to a tattoo shop before. just because we wanted a small tattoo or something you had to actually draw out doesn’t mean that we don’t deserve the same customer service as someone else. save your money and time and walk over to other tattoo shops down the street who have better customer service skills."

"I will let y'all decide based off of these pictures if you want to get a piercing here. IT WAS JUST A NOSE PIERCING. Prior to receiving this piercing, the piercer was having a discussion that I could hear, with a tattoo artist about how angry she was. She had done "60 piercings that day". (Saturday 3/18 at 2:30) She was mad because the next piercer hadn't shown up because she was "sick". Which the tattoo artist, piercer, & front desk worker were able to discuss IN FRONT OF ME that they didn't think she was sick. They were also complaining that the next front desk worker was late. Anyways. The piercer was clearly in a bad mood but took me in anyways and I was nervous because of this. She quickly pierced my nose. Blood came rushing out of my nose like it was broken. Blood on my shirt, neck, arm, and face. My friend who was watching was horrified. The piercer blamed it on the fact that I drank a lot the day before. I'm sorry, no matter how much I was drinking the day before, that was not a normal amount of blood. I'm lucky I didn't pass out and that I have a high pain tolerance. Shouldn't she have asked me before if I was drinking? Especially the day after St. Patrick's day? She didn't wait until my nose stopped bleeding and sent me off. Told me it will take 3 months to heal. Shouldn't she have asked me to wait to see if I was okay? There was no concern about my well being. Luckily I stayed in the area. I had to go back twice to get it cleaned within an hour and a half because it wouldn't stop bleeding. (Picture attached) She put blood clotting powder on me and said "I feel so bad your nose must be so sore" YEAH. YA THINK? My nose did not stop bleeding for 5+ hours. She was more caring when I came back angrily, but I think it was only because I was clearly angry for a good reason. My piercing is so gross despite the fact that I am keeping up with aftercare. I am so annoyed and will never come back. DO NOT COME HERE. I wish I just had the patience to wait at rockstar piercing. The lack of unprofessionalism, even though I wouldn't expect that much professionalism from a tattoo place, was just BEYOND ME. Get it together. Get better staff that show up to their jobs. Don't pierce peoples faces when you're mad. Don't talk bad about your coworkers in front of customers. And don't send customers out the door when you know you messed up and their health is as risk. I can't even believe this. I hope this review stops people from coming here. SAVE YOURSELF. I don't even want to hear the excuses from whoever is going to respond to this. I have plenty of piercings and have never had such a traumatic experience."
