I have been going to New Tribe for peircings forever. Granted, it's generally years and years between visits, I still always return.
I've had 5 ear piercings since 1999 and they've all healed very well. I've only gone once to another place, it was in AZ and it rejected.... so they get my vote for piercing.
I was in yesterday for a small tatoo. Mike was awesome! Yes, I did have to walk around downtown for about an hour to get a spot but I feel with a walk in that can sometimes be expected.
I have always said I feel its a super stellar clean spot... you can smell it. Anyway, I'll be back for sure so long as they keep up the awesome work!
