TDF Tattoo and Body Piercing

i hate hate hate to make bad reviews, and i do not want to be making this review currently however i need to talk about what i experienced with steve at tdf tattoo. i have nothing against him as a person, he’s a funny guy with a good personality but as a client standpoint i personally will never be back, and here’s why. my first & second lobe piercings i had a great experience with steve. quick, easy and healed well, again we were cracking jokes and making good conversation, however that was not the same experience that i had with my third lobes, and my 3 helix piercings. let’s talk about it. when originally pierced with my third lobes i should’ve been pierced with a longer bar, steve did not use the longer bars so i’ve been fighting irritation, irritation bumps since getting them, which i thought was just natural piercing healing, moving onto my helix piercings, my first piercing steve did the same thing, he didn’t accommodate for swelling leading to irritation, my 2nd helix he did pierce correctly with a longer bar, my 3rd helix he also pierced with a longer bar but unfortunately he pierced me at an angle, causing more irritation. anyways, i waited a month roughly to come in and downsize my longer posts, my 2nd helix was downsized and it felt like he was tugging and tugging and pulling on my ear, this hurt worse than the initial piercing, he got it downsized and moved onto my third helix with no problem downsizing. roughly 30 minutes after leaving i was looking at my ears and i realized that the 2nd helix piercing was protruding outward, so i checked the back of my ear and my ear had completely eaten the earring backing, i had to go to a different piercer and she had to pop it out the back, she replaced the jewelry with implant grade high quality jewelry steve should’ve originally used, at the time i only replaced 2 helix piercing jewelry with her due to my ears being swollen & achy. i finally just went down and replaced all of the jewelry in my ears and the irritation i’ve been dealing with is finally resolving with longer posts, and higher quality jewelry. unfortunately though, this whole ordeal has put me roughly 4-6 months behind in healing, and i cannot continue my piercing journey until my ears have had time to properly heal without the lower quality smaller unstable jewelry. i would recommend a piercer who is app certified, they follow certain health standards for healing piercings. edit: the tattoo artist’s at tdf are always nice to me and i highly recommend their work, especially kay!!!! i love tdf for tattoo’s and i would give a 5 star review for the tattoo artists, however i would NOT recommend steve the piercer at all due to my experience and based on others reviews / word of mouth.

I got this amazing tattoo from Jordan, I’ve also gotten several piercings from Steve, everyone at TDF is extremely friendly and cleanly, the shop is very clean and well decorated, when getting my tattoo the surfaces were cleaned and wrapped with plastic as well as the tattoo gun, I can’t recommend TDF enough, TDF is my go to for tattoos and piercings.

My daughter wanted her helix pierced for her 15th birthday. Price was reasonable and even $25 under the price that was quoted inside the southern Hills mall! Steve did the piercing for us and he did a great job! He was down to earth and his attitude and demeanor just made you feel relaxed. We definitely be back and will ask for Steve by name for any future piercings we need! Thanks Steve! You nailed it! 😃

Steve is amazing! Makes sure your comfortable before anything and is extremely professional. If you’re scared to get a piercing he will make sure you’re comfortable and calm and he does an amazing job! ALL OF MY piercings by him have healed!!

Really helpful in piercing placement and knowledgeable.
