Mile High Tattoo

I have gotten my lobes and belly pierced here. When I got my lobes pierced, the first one went smoothly, however on the second one the piercer said “whoops 😳” after putting the needle in. I didn’t think to ask, and the second one took way longer to heal than the first one. It’s also harder to put in jewelry on the second one as it isn’t straight. They didn’t ask what type of jewelry I wanted for my ears, so they just put black titanium studs that were in the labret box. My navel piercing was fine though. However, I feel as if the piercing method here is more painful compared to other places. I got both of my helixes pierced at another place, and they hurt significantly less than lobes, when lobes is the least painful area.

I walked in last December with an idea for a sleeve and nothing else. No pics no nothing, just thoughts. Donel was more than willing to take it on. I had several sessions and still more to go. Donel has been more then flexible and is always up for for sharing his honest opinion on what he thinks might look best as an artist. Easy to talk to. Sometimes sessions run longer when we all get caught talking, but he doesn't charge you for that time. I've had a few several hour sessions that I walk out only paying $250 because of conversation. I like to think that I'm here for a tattoo, not a Dr appointment. During long sessions the artists almost always offer to buy food and include those of us on the table. I still have some work left to do for my sleeve and look for forward to going back. After a little while it became easy to just walk in and start talking to the artists. Once my sleeve is done I'll definitely go back and get more work from some of the other artists too.

The best spot around, I've been going here for years and always leave happy. A chill, calm environment and a great crew.

I recently got tattooed by Donel! they drew and tattooed my idea better than I could even imagine! I will certainly return to them for more work, and recommend that you do too!

Go here! She is polite and knows what she is doing.

I went today to get my nose piercing. Eila was the one who helped me, and she was really kind. Thank you, Eila, for making me feel comfortable when I got my piercing:)))))))))

I would not recommend this shop, or to be tattooed by Donell. I had a consultation with him two weeks prior to my appointment and gave him concept pics of what I wanted. He confirmed he could design a simple heart design. The day of my appt comes, I arrive 15 minutes early and he's not there at the shop. He arrives 10 minutes past the time of my appt and looks completely annoyed to be there. He was unsure if he had an appointment. The receptionist informed him he had an appointment with me. He doesn't acknowledge me. He proceed to his station. He begins a conversation with his co-worker for 10 mintues. He funally acknowledges me. Doesn't greet me but says "what are we doing today?" I tell him and again he states that's simple. As he returns to his station he says, "I don't want to be here." I was starting to lose my patience with him. I only stood because the Natalie the piercer who pierced my ears recommended him. We are 40 minutes in and he had nothing drawn up. He spent more time talking to his coworkers and setting up and complaining about being there. The appointment was coming up on an hour past my appt time. I would have left but they do not refund your $100 deposit if you reschedule. He finally calls me over. He states "he can freehand it since its hearts." I informed him I wanted the hearts to be certain colors for each of my children. He writes it down on paper. I received a phone call in which I took. Once I was off the phone for only 2 mintues. I noticed he placed the same blue color on the purple heart. I mentioned it to him. He begins to raise his voice at me. I raise my voice back telling him he wrote it down. He laughed and states I must of thrown the paper away. He knew I was pissed. He said he can fix it. I'm too far into the session to leave. Needless to say he did not fix it. When the horrible session was over, he had the audacity to try and charge me additional hour. I refused by stating all of his errors. This guy is a joke and has no professionalism at all. Don't give him your money or time.

I went in with the intention of getting my bridge done and Eila was honest about it maybe not being the best fit with my anatomy, which I respect a lot. I know many artists who would just do the piercing anyway. I ended up getting my Medusa done and it not only was easy but she made me feel very comfortable. I’ve been going to mile high for my piercings for years and eila has quickly become my favorite piercer.

These people have absolutely no business piercing anyone. They are tattoo artists who taught themselves how to pierce, or are taught by a tattoo artist who thinks they can pierce. They do NOT know anything about how jewelry affects the body, and they do not know proper piercings or techniques. This client came in for a ROOK and got their DAITH pierced completely improperly with horrible jewelry. 100% implant grade titanium or gold is the ONLY acceptable jewelry to be placed in fresh piercings. Black externally threaded jewelry is absolutely despicable, especially when the placement of the piercing is not at all conducive to healing. This piercing is way too shallow and at a completely wrong placement and angle and it will be a miracle if it heals even now with proper jewelry. Not to mention it’s not even the piercing the client wanted in the first place, nor did anyone warn this poor lady that inner ear piercings hurt like hell. She said it was a woman, and I’m inclined to believe this “piercer” had very bad luck in choosing who trained her, as she was clearly trained by a tattoo artist who THINKS piercing is easy. Taking advantage of people for money while permanently altering their bodies is absolutely disgusting behavior. Piercing comes with a very high level of ethics and morals and should be done with the highest and upmost respect to people trusting you with their bodies. “I feel taken advantage of” is a direct quote from this client when talking about who pierced her. Do not chose a place based on price, as what you pay for is what you get, and can have devastating consequences.
