Jim Sweeney was hired to do my back piece. After several session, big area is still not inked! My last session was 4hrs which 3 hrs were spent re oulting work that had already been done and paid for. He charged me $320 in his room then ran to the counter and said you make good money charge him $380! He says he won’t work for free and to make it up if I pay for 3 hrs he’ll give me an hour for free! I have outlines that still need reworked! Stay away from this dirty shop and especially Jim Sweeney!

The guy that did my tattoo is amazing he did it perfectly and I'm thinking about getting a piercing done there they are so professional and I love it

A few months ago i had an accident at work that resulted in the loss of the jewelry for my relatively fresh inner conch piercing. So immediately after work i rushed to the nearest shop (my normal place is a good drive away) which happened to be forever art. I was desperate to get something in there before the hole closed up.



Now, i knew within moments of walking in the shop that this guy was full of it. I mean really? He was trying to convince me that a cartilage piercing should be fully healed within a month. Seriously?! Any piercer worth their salt knows that even a lobe piercing isn't 'fully' healed in a month. I should have walked out the doors that instant but i stupidly thought jewelry's jewelry, humor him till i get my jewelry and then never see him again. So he took me back to his office/studio/whatever he asked me what gauge i was pierced at and what color i wanted on the glass color front (cause he said he only uses glass in cartilage). I told him 10g and green if you have it. We made idle chit chat while he cleaned/sterilized it.



I remember when i initially got my conch pierced i was so freaked out about the crunch of cartilage, but it never crunched, in fact the whole affair was surprisingly painless. Getting my jewelry ~changed~ at forever art? That hurt! It hurt and there was most defiantly a crunch. When it happened i chalked it up to my hole starting to close up. I was wrong.



Three months later i was back at my usual piercer to have the jewelry changed again. Keeping it clean with that color front had been driving me absolutely batty not to mention my pour ear had been down right pissy non-stop since the glass had arrived. I had her change it out for a high quality anatometal barbell(which my ear loves by the way). When they handed me the glass plug i mentioned how the glass made it look alot bigger then it was. He asked to have another look at it and the proceeded to tell me it was a 8G PLUG!



That idiot at forever art DEAD stretched my 2 month old conch from 10g to 8g! No wonder it hurt so much!



Do not let that man touch you with a needle, ever!



For what it's worth i know nothing of the tattoo artists, they could be masters of the field but i will never step foot in that shop again.
