So I go to get a piercing. But when I first entered the shop the first girl in front tattooing looked like she was falling asleep as she tattooed and her speech was slurred. She also was complaining about a wound in her stomach oozing. Cleanly? I don't think so. Then a heavy set guy with giant earlobes came and talked to me and not only was he very abrasive and disinterested, he REEKED of pot. I went across the street to immortal art.

STAY AWAY!!! This place is as ghetto as they come. First off I was never even carded when I got some work done here which should of been the first warning sign. You have to wonder if they don't even check ID's what else are they not doing? Are they reusing their needles too? Also they only except cash which is very sketchy to me. Any legitimate business nowadays takes credit cards. Their piercer was a complete idiot, whom I later found out got fired for a meth addiction and messing up peoples piercings. I was not impressed by their portfolios either. I would not recommend this place for a tattoo or piercing.

This review is concerning some dermal piercings I had received from Wisemagic. I don't want to mark this one completely down because Mike was actually very nice and friendly but basically I would not recommend at all.



My first visit had a great feel to it, was super excited about my new dermals and thought I would experience no problems. About a week later, one had fallen out because I had failed to wear a band-aid to bed one evening- of course he had only told me they were only necessary for the first three to four days. So on my fifth night, I didn't wear one since the adhesive irritates my neck. When I went back to ask him what to do about it, he was super nice and extremely grateful that I had come back to fix the issue instead of just blowing him off and spreading bad press. Plus since he had failed to inform me correctly about proper care, he said he would fix the piercing for free. HERE IS WHERE THINGS WENT DOWN HILL. Once I had finished waiting for the original hole to heal, about a week later, I returned to Mike to fix the issue. I'm not sure if he rushed or was having a bad night, but the reimplant was very crooked- completely off alignment with the other "matching" dermal. Upon pointing that out, he "assured me" it was even, the wound was just swollen and that it would even itself out. Too bad two days later, after the swelling had subsided a bit, when I returned to work everyone pointed out how crooked my piercings were... on top of that, he actually wound up charging me, only knocking about 10 dollars off the price as a "discount" which in hindsight would not have been a big deal had they been straight!!



After giving the situation some thought, I did some research, made some phone calls to other shops and eventually went to a completely different shop where THINGS GOT EVEN WORSE. I was informed that both piercings were being rejected, not because of my body chemistry but because both had been implanted completely wrong. There was about a centimeter between my skin and the anchor head (imagine Frankensteins bolts) which I had thought was strange to begin with but was told by Mike at Wisemagic was normal. I had her remove the incorrect dermals to find that he had also used two completely different pieces of jewelry as well. Out of curiosity, she asked me where I had gotten them done and when I told her, she simply gave an understanding nod and replied "enough said."



Upon comparing the two shops, I began doing some reviewing and it occurred to me, I had never been ID'd or even asked how old I was when I had gone in to Wisemagic. On top of that, THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH... which suggests to me, something is out of line with the entire shop.



Please do not waste your time, your money by going to Wisemagic!!!! You'll just be paying for pointless scars!
