  George is AWESOME! I walked in for a piercing, I only had to wait for maybe ten minutes which was great, but the thing that really sold me was that George was so nice. She sat and went through all the things I needed to know and her work was quick and pretty painless. The piercings look so good and don't feel sore like I did with piercings I've gotten elsewhere. It feels like you're talking to a friend, I'll never go anywhere else.

  I came to Strange World Tattoo on a recommendation from a friend; I didn't bother shopping around because of the glowing reviews on here. George at the front is AWESOME and easy to talk to. She paired me up with Chris Ivens who was just re-hired as he was returning from out of province (as I was told he worked there previously). During my very short consult, he convinced me to change the placement of my tattoo from where I really wanted it. I called George about a week and a half before my appointment and asked if there was any way I could preview as I was worried about how it would look. He drew out the tattoo and I loved it but it was missing a critical piece though and said he would have it added on the day of my appointment, which was O.K. I showed up for my appointment and he showed me the missing piece drawn in. With the addition, it looked nothing like I had wanted. I had been paired with him because he had really realistic looking tattoos and the addition was not realistic at all. He told me we could just skip on the added piece but doing that would defeat the meaning behind the tattoo that I was getting for my sister. He told me, 'No offense but my job isn't to worry about the meaning, just that it looks good'. We hadn't scheduled enough time to re-draw it and the paperwork I signed says cancelled appointments lose their deposit so I made peace with the addition that I didn't like and we started on the tattoo. The tattoo took a total of about 3 hours. We had scheduled 4 but he ate lunch upon arriving and there was 3 smoke breaks taken (though I'm not a smoker). I was billed for 3.5 hours. The tattoo had some weird spots but I figured after it healed I would have a better idea. There are a several spots where there is shading outside of the tattoo lines. I don't think that can be fixed but it isn't noticeably obvious to anyone but me unless they're really looking for it. There is also a weird area where the color doesn't seem to match the rest of the tattoo (literally looks like a brownish blob and is both inside and outside where any other should be) which I thought we could fix but when I went back to ask about touch ups, he said it looked fine. I'm going to have to try to find another shop to fix and touch up the spots that I'm unhappy with. **UPDATE** I have been refunded in full for my tattoo.
