American Pride Tattoo Berkley

The shop was incredibly dirty. The carpet looks absolutely terrible and didn't inspire a lot of confidence in me when I went in to get a couple ear piercings. The piercer was rushing and didn't tell me what jewelry she was going to put in, what gauge... nothing. I had to ask questions and she seemed clueless about what titanium anodizing even was. The little cubicle where I was getting my ear pierced was DIRTY. There were stains in the carpet and on the walls. The tools were sealed in packaging so as far as I know they were okay. When she pierced my ear she didn't put any paper towel down and the blood from my ear got all over my clothes. When she was trying to put in the ball in the captive ball hoop she couldn't get it in (It is a simple process if you have ring opening pliers... seriously it's a 5 dollar tool). I was in immense pain as she twisted my freshly pierced ear while struggling to get the ball in. She then opens the dirty drawer with her gloved hand and grabs another pair of pliers. Eventually she gets it in, and I feel like I am going to pass out. Needless to say nothing about my experience was clean, safe, friendly or welcoming. I will never return here again. They are expensive for piercings, 55 each for some no name stainless steel hoops! This is a terrible place and you should go elsewhere. UPDATE: I also wanted to add that I did try to speak with the manager a couple days after my experience and they were totally hesitant to help or come to a resolution, this place is garbage.

Waited for an hour and a half only to be told the 2 very small tattoos I wanted in all black would be $300. Because “it’s on your face man haha” total morons.The 3 guys in there were all rude and not concerned with anything. The lady was nice although after sitting in there for an hour and a half didn’t say a word to me. You’re better off going to any other shop around. Go to eternal in clawson, actual fair prices and they don’t treat you like a walking paycheck. I will forever tell friends and family to never consider this place.

Would not recommend to anyone. Went to get my navel peirced. The first time i went the girl used the wrong bar which cause infection not only but while trying to peirce it she stabbed me in 2 other places on my stomach. Had to go back it get it taken out. When i went in they said they would have to charge me again for there mess up. But after talking to the manager he agreed to to it for free. Waited 2 weeks for it to heal just to have another guy do it and he didnt put it deep enough so it ripped out. Wont be coming back.
