| - While this shop is somewhat aesthetically pleasing in that it's clean, sterile and semi-decorated, the artists employed there are what turned me off.
I gave this shop a few tries, as to not be biased upon a single visit. Of the 4 times I've been in, at least one person has been on their phone texting or playing on Facebook, which is fine during downtime but not when there's a line of eager and paying customers. The majority of the attitudes are blunt and rude, similar to someone who seems simply burned out on the job and trying to get through the days. (Not the attitude I'd want when having permanent art applied to my body.)
Piercing is average. While the physical piercings usual turn out alright, on more than one occasion the jewelry has been overpriced by comparison to other shops (and online dealers), and once I had to pay for another piece of jewelry after being given the wrong kind. (No refund or return, I had to pay for both pieces for their mistake.)
The only real positive attribute to come out of this is that I met a few of the employees from Spikomatic. I've been going here now for a few years, never had a complaint and love their work.
In summary: Steve's is an 'ok' shop for simplistic art, tattoos, and piercings, but I'd look elsewhere for exemplary customer service or more serious work.
