Black Pearl Tattoos

The shop was beautiful and my tattoo is great for my first one. I love the shop and I would definitely come back. I got my tattoo on January 4, 2016. This is pictures of it when I was in the shop and when the artist was just finished my tattoo. It is placed on my left backside of my shoulder on my back.

I went here to get my first tattoo on my 18^th birthday; you can imagine how excited I was about the whole thing. I showed them what I had in mind, and they told me it would be $ 400 or $ 500 for a WRIST TATTOO. I just stared in awe, and the lady read my face. She asked me how much I had planned on spending and I told her $ 100 maximum, which for the placement and size seemed reasonable. She couldn’t let out her laugh quick enough. After chuckling, she retorted with «any tattoo you get for under $ 100 is going to be shitty». As if that wasn’t enough, she took it upon herself to belittle me even further by offering me over to «the box» which is just a box full of small, whimsical, meaningless, random tattoos that any drunk person would seem fit to get. She continued with «well this is more in your price range, $ 50 for a tattoo out of here and $ 10 extra if you don’t like the one you pick.» I was furious. I left there as fast as I could. The next day I went and got the SAME EXACT tattoo that I explained to this shop. Guess how much? $ 60, and it’s beautiful. Not a single person that’s seen it has said that it’s «a shitty tattoo». If you’re planning on getting a tattoo from here, I would strongly advise against it. There is somewhere better and less expensive to venture off to.

Was a very nice place to get my first tattoo. The artist was very easy to get along with and talked to me the whole time so I wouldn’t be so focused on how uncomfortable the pain was.

My husband and I just moved to the Ft. Drum area, and I finally decided it was time to get the lip piercing I’d been wanting forever. I was very nervous, but the guy who did my piercing (Daryl) was funny and put me at ease. I barely felt any pain throughout the procedure. The shop was extremely clean and the woman who greeted me was very nice and helped me pick out a ring and explained how to care for my new piercing very well. They even gave me coupons for tattoos and piercings, and they have a punch card program where you receive a $ 100 gift card after getting 5 piercings or tattoos, or if you refer your friends. Overall I was astounded at how professional and caring the staff was, and will definitely be going back.
