I had wanted a nose piercing and tattoo for as long as I could remember. So I did my research. IMO a tattoo and a piercing is not something you get with out looking it, well a tattoo more. I finally decided on Club Tattoo.
I got my nose pierced in September of 2009. The piercer was very professional, put on gloves and a mask over their mouth. All the equipment was sterile and they made sure I put my purse where it would not make the sterile field dirty. Very fast, I did not even feel it being done. They gave me written care instructions, and I bought of can of cleaning solution. All the jewelry for piercing is displayed in a well lit case in the front of the store. When I returned to buy different rings for my nose, they had on gloves as they removed it from the case.
In December I came back to get my first tattoo. I had consulted with the artist and was given a price and time estimate of how long it would take. When I was able to I came and put a down a small payment and made an appointment. When I came in to get my tattoo, she took me right in. Prepped me and put the outline on me. From the time I got there to when I paid was less than an hour and fifteen minutes. Less than time she told me it would take to actually get the tattoo. My artist was Lindsey, she was very fast but my tattoo looks amazing.
From what I get from talking to other people, this shop is more expensive. But I am true believer you get what you pay for. And a tattoo is something I will have on me for the rest of my life, so I would pay any amount to make sure it looks great and is done by artists who know how to do their work well.
I have gone to other shops, and I knew as soon as I walked I would not return. One shop I walked into smelled of cigarette smoke and they had coffee cups everywhere. The private rooms when getting a tattoo is a huge plus. Club Tattoo is always spotless and the staff is very professional.
