What Locals Say About Albany Tattoo Shops
“My go-to spot for piercings and tattoos. My niece got her nose pierced and they were very professional and clean. I went back for two tattoos. Also very accommodating, professional and hygienic. I highly recommend!”
“I had the best experience with the piercer Gina. I’ve had my nose pierced several times in my life and either From hospitalization or Covid. I wasn’t able to keep The piercings. I have pretty severe anxiety, which I did not mention to Gina. So it seems her demeanor is always the same no matter who’s in her chair. And that was friendly reassuring and very kind. She went over the process thoroughly both before the process and during the process to make sure that I was comfortable, and when I thanked her for that and expressed that I had severe anxiety she was unaware. It’s just a habit for her to make her clients feel at ease. And I truly appreciate that. I also appreciate that she does not do a nostril piercing with a screw in ring. It’s a flat back nose ring that glide in with ease. The entire process was painless and very comfortable. I’ll be back from my next piercing with Gina and will happily drive the hour. It takes me to get there. On a sidenote, I did see someone getting tattooed while I was there as well, not by Gina. The man was very courteous The studio was very clean and you could tell he took great pride in his work. I’ll definitely be checking the spot out for my next piece.”
“I just wanted to say I got my nose pierced today and the guy who pierced it was very polite and calm. He was very comforting and polite he made sure I was comfortable with getting pierced and his voice was very soothing. My experience was a 10/10 I will definitely be going back because of how professional they were and how comfortable they made the experience.”
