It is what you make it

Don't trip is all I can say.... I went to Dago's on the northside on a Friday night and was like damn!!! The parking lot is very small and from the outside looking in u would be like WTF. U can see the artist doing tats through the window and they're sitting in sections like u at the beauty or barber shop. When u get in pick your tat up front cause once you get in line and pay it's a done deal. They have u sign and write in your hand writing waivers. LOl for the piercings before asking u do you want the solution you writing you don't want it. Who don't want to take care of they mouth after you have poked a damn hole in it. They are dirt cheap but sanitary. Some have attitudes but who wouldn't packed in a semi small area wit what seem like a thousand people talking, laughing and staring at u. It's not very private. While getting my lip pierced I had an audience. They give u a number and your called or suppose to be called in order I was number 81 and went before a few of the numbers in the 70s but in well won't complain about that. I would so go back there. I suggest you go with the mind frame that you might be there awhile that it's going to be packed, hot and some attitudes. They also have a smoke house next door go in and take a look pass away sometime. You'll be glad u came.

More than meets the eye...

My friend and I went in here looking to get his ears pierced. I've heard so much about "go to Dago's". Upon first glance, the parking is insanely difficult. Its a "blink and you'll miss it" sort of destination. Inside it looks like a dark, party house. They were packed to the rafters with people, and there were multiple signs threatening customers with explicit profanity about staying out of certain areas, and how they are not your therapist, etc.

There were no visible price lists and no staff on hand to assist us with questions or to make the sale to us for his piercings, so we left the place.

For the price they seem ok. But to someone seeking quality, decency in language, and professionalism... I would seek the services of a studio elsewhere to be honest.

• Pros: Prices seem right for the work they do.
• Cons: Bad parking, profanity on signs, unavailable staff, obnoxious music on radio
