"On 11/17/22, I was introduced to Mike, I explain to him that I wanted a hoop, but he explained that I needed a regular bar. They did not do hoops to start I would have to come back once my piercing healed. I picked what later I was told to be a blue curved barbell. The piercing was extremely painful. Mike said,“ it will take 6 to 8 months to heal to use the disinfectant sprayed twice a day and to not sleep on it.” After a month of still being red and hurting I stopped by, Mike gave me the same instructions. After this it would look and feel better for a time and then it would start to hurt and get red. At 3 & 5 months I went back in, Mike told me the same thing as before. At 6 months again I when in to talk to Mike and to get more disinfectant. He would ways stand about a couple of feet away from me never really getting close to look at it. The pain and discomfort continues and he never truly looked at it. He would just say the same thing. At 8 months the pain and puffiness was still there, this time Mike was not there but I was told it could take a year. I was so frustrated but continued to trust that they knew what they were saying. At a year I when back in and Mike told me it could take 3 yrs to heal. I said, “if you would have told me that it could take 3 years to heal I would never had this done!” 3 years what the heck, I left furious and so discouraged. A a few weeks later I stopped in again and Mike was not there but the gentleman there told me that he did not know why Mike had told me it would take 3 yrs. He could see that it was getting very puffy and red. On 12/11/23, I called another Piercer to make and appointment because I knew something was terribly wrong and that Mike had done nothing to help me in over a year. And on the 12th I called my doc’s office as by now my ear was so swollen and painful I couldn’t stand it. On the 13th my doctor confirmed that I had a raging infection and the piercing needed to come out immediately. By pure chance one of the nurses also worked at a local piercing shop and she was able to take it out. The infection was so bad she gasped when she finally was able to take it out. She also questioned why I had a blue curved barbell? She said “it should just had been a regular stainless steel.” I was put on some heavy antibiotics. And it took over a week to actually feel better. The next day I also paid to go see the other local piercer, who also said the same thing the nurse had said. She was disgusted as she examined my ear. They both also told me that from the start Mike should had taken me into the back and look at my ear carefully to see what was going on, Mike should had offer to take it out and retune my money or at least change the piece. I would never recommend going to Mike. He was careless and irresponsible. The most horrible experience I ever had getting a piercing."

"Tonight , went with my daughter in law and her friend, we all got our nose pierced. Mike was who took care of us and was very thorough in explaining the process and helped us pick the best piercing area and post. Everything was cleaned between all of us and sterilized. Thank you for a wonderful experience and your professionalism."

"Very friendly, went over everything step by step, great conversation, very clean and beautiful place - Dave kruseman is an amazing artist! Front desk staff was very pleasant! Definitely recommend!!"

"I have never had a piercing done so well in my life. I’ve had my belly button piercing now multiple times and it’s never healed right or caused me a LOT of discomfort. Mike was so nice and patient with me as I was practically sweating scared to death, it didn’t even hurt, as soon as it was pierced there was absolutely no discomfort and the healing process there has been no discomfort. It almost already looks like it’s healed (obviously it’s not but it looks so frickin good) my expectations are through the roof and I don’t think I’d ever go anywhere else again."

"Awesome experience as usual at Olde Line Tattoo. The whole staff from the Front Desk to the Tattoo Artists (have gotten tattooed by two different artist from Olde Line) always are professional and care about doing a great job! Kim was so helpful getting my latest tattoo organized after a cancellation. My brother and I just got a matching tattoo for our older brother who passed away. Kike did an great job and both my brother and I couldn't have asked for more."
