My friends and I went to Club Tattoo in Mesa last night to get a few piercings we'd been wanting. While I ended up leaving without any (my ear wasn't built for what I wanted), my friends each got pierced by Bernie. He was extremely patient with us and very professional. He was also meticulous with keeping clean gloves on and making sure they were happy with the placement before piercing.
I have always been an HTC loyalist but thought I'd give Club Tattoo a try since Tempe is becoming a pain in the butt with traffic and parking. We were not disappointed! I would have given this place 5 Stars, but have to agree with the other reviewers-- the receptionist wasn't the most pleasant or informative. And I was a little bummed I couldn't take pictures of the piercing in action (probably a liability thing?). But I'd recommend Bernie hands down. I've had a LOT of piercings and he gives you the time and expertise you're looking for. I will definitely be back!
