Archer Avenue Tattoo & Body Piercing Review, Prices, Services, Images

Thank you Jr for giving us your time and talent, and for our matching tattoos.
We’re both very happy with them ☺️💙

The same with the first tattoo you did for me, and it’s what made me feel comfortable enough to return.

For giving me your time, hoping the process for this tattoo will continue to be as enjoyable as it was tonight. September 29, 2024

Shawn did an AMAZING job on my tattoo and the overall experience was great! My tattoo healed quickly and very well!! Photos attached of my fresh and healed tattoo 🙂

I had an additional earlobe piercing done here. JR did a great job, thank you! Easy-peasy! After the job was done, he walked me through how to clean the pierced area and some expectations. JR handed me a brochure with notes (i.e.cleaning procedure).

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE. The staff is professional and friendly. I’ve been pierced here on two separate occasions; the first piercer was named Junior and the second piercer was named Jay. I would NOT recommend getting pierced at this shop. The piercers are not knowledgable enough and something just keeps going “wrong.” The 1st time I went with my two sisters, who got their noses pierced. I got four piercings; double forward helix and third lobe. All of our piercings had a very hard and long recovery process. I thought because they were first time piercees is why their noses were irritated, and mine I just attributed to the placement. My one sister got a second nose piercing a few months later at the Body Art Shop and did not experience the same problems. Forward to the second time, I went for my double helix piercing. For reference I have multiple types of facial and ear piercings, and NONE have ever been this hard to heal. My ear is currently throbbing as I write this. Firstly, the two piercings are WAAAYYYY too close to each, so much that each other’s backings push the other earring causing irritation. A more experienced piercer would have never pierced this close together. Second, when I went back to the shop and described this issue and how I had discovered smaller backings that worked and was seeing if the shop had more like this with shorter bars because the bars were very long, Jay said it would be no problem and did the install himself. That was a few days ago! My ear has gotten worse! The earring Jay installed was too short and lo behold when I removed them the backing was LARGER than I specifically requested. The earring has been digging into my ear, all while pushing on the piercing below it. My ear is bleeding and more swollen than when I actually got it pierced. At this point, I’m debating taking them out and calling it a loss. DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE. Anything that I have done to fix and heal my piercings has been figured out by myself, while taking advice or allowing the workers here to select jewelry or piercing placement has proven to be harmful. Overall, this shop doesn’t have a knowledgable, skillful piercer. I can’t speak about their tattoos.

Juan did amazing work. My family wanted similar dragon tattoos and his work is amazing. Will come back to get more done from Juan!
