Wasted Youth Tattoo & PMA Piercing

Friendly and very professional team. Really appreciated the thought and care through every step of the process, including education for expectations and aftercare. I would go back in a heartbeat for any other piercings.

The shop was very clean and my piercings turned out well. I was not happy with my experience getting pierced, however. The piercer was very condescending and not personable, he wouldn't let me hold my friend's hand that came with me, he didn't mark where he was piercing to show me before he did them, and I was charged $60 more than I was quoted on the phone making my appointment. I also waited in the car for over 30 minutes after my appointment time was supposed to start and another 15 in the shop before I even spoke to the piercer. I will say the girl at the desk was very sweet and friendly, she was really fun to talk to both on the phone and in the shop, she was the best part of my experience here

Super nice people!! I walked in 10-20 minutes before they closed looking to replace a piece of jewelry I had lost. They had already put their jewelry away for the day but without batting an eye they pulled it out, showed me some options and sold it to me. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but I couldnt stop telling my husband how nice they were!!

I successfully disputed the charge with my credit card and received my money back, I recommend others do the same. I'm not sure which of the other recent reviews they are referring to, as there are a lot of the same concern. Greg used to have no standards and just steal from his previous place at SG, he'd pierce anyone if they gave him cash. Now that he's the owner, he pretends he has high standards and just steals from the client directly. COOL! "PMA" his responses are obviously completely against the name he tries to present... Greg, the owner, tries to legitimize stealing money with "consultation/reservation fees" while ignoring anything paid or what it was for. They will say $20 for consultation vs $30 for booking, whatever works in the moment to justify stealing your money under the guise of business practices. His behavior and practices are completely against APP best practices, those ripped off should also file official complaints to the official outlets, as you can see he responds in a volatile tantrum and then gets Ffanbois to post just as ridiculous fake reviews. There are many outlets that regulate business ethics for licensing, accounting, consumer charges, state and federal compliances, etc. APP, Attorney General, IRS 1099a/3949a, IDPH, OSHA, GAO and SBA for claims in 2020+. So many more, plus all socials but again, SDenergy tantrums in response is all you will get. If you are within timeline, dispute charges with your cc/bank, if you are beyond that and need assistance, let me know!

Gregory is the best piercer you will find, especially south of 55! My daughter and I had gone to another piercer way up in Palatine and they used the wrong jewelry and we had issues. Gregory was so great at helping us get our piercings straightened out. He was super honest, patient and the cleanest place I have ever seen. We will only be going to him from now on for piercings!

The service, values, and craftsmanship are top notch. I recommend anyone who wants a piercing to come here. I've had no better experience getting my piercings done anywhere other than PMA. Thanks everyone!
