The Ink Lounge NoDa/CLT

I took my daughter today to get her nose pierced she's been wanting one for so long so I decided to surprise her today. Her experience was amazing, he was gentle quick and very nice. I will be going back......Thank you so much

If I could give zero I would. Realistically I should have been patient and gone to a different shop, but on the other hand, if you’re piercing someone you should know what you’re doing. I got a piercing done here, it seemed off so I went to a reputable piercer to get it checked. She said he pierced it completely wrong, he twisted the needle at the end which made a bigger hole than needed, and will not heal the channel needed correctly, then put in a curved barbell and at the wrong gauge. It’s off center, wrong placement on the area and crooked. She said it has a very high chance of rejection or migration so now I have to take it out, let it heal for 4-6 weeks then get it pierced correctly. Basically I wasted $60 ($80 with tip) and some pain. I will also note that the cleanliness of the place was awful and that’s when I should have turned around. I also should have left when he did no sanitation procedure before the piercing. So my fault for not leaving but also, if you’re advertising that you can pierce, you should be able to.

Came in to get a belly button piercing and a week later it rejected. I had asked the piercer if I had the right anatomy for this piercing especially since he was using a curved barbell. his response was "well you have a belly button don't you" which was such an ignorant and unprofessional thing to say to a client. A week later it had got so red and irritated that I went to a professional establishment and they analyzed my piercing and told me that it was pierced crooked and used the wrong jewelry for my anatomy which was causing it to reject. Not to mention that he also made comments to me that I thought were really distasteful. He asked me if I was "planning on going on ozempic soon" and I said no why and his response was " oh i was just asking i need to go on ozempic too" which on so many levels is just a gross and weird thing to say to anyone. if you want a man with an attitude and skill level of a 6 year old to pierce you, he's your guy!
