Great place!

by Anehta at Citysearch

Well, I first went to pain for sale when my friend got her nose pierced. It's a highly sterile place and Annie opened up all the needles in front of us to show that they were new and had never been used. It was a quick and easy procedure, nothing went wrong with her nose. For a while, I wanted my lip pierced so I went in and did so. Nothing wrong there either. I went back two more times, for a a conch piercing and a tattoo. Annie did the piercing again and J.R. did my tattoo. He was unbelievebly nice and actually lowered the price of the tattoo because all I had was $40 on me. I got a sweet $40 tattoo.

This place is safe and clean and friendly. I brought two of my friends there and they had no problem with their piercings. You have to go in for yourself and see. It's true...this isn't for prissy people...the staff is tougher than most. But they are nice.

  • Pros: They are friendly, willing to help and bargains
  • Cons: none really

Great Experience

by ErintheStrange at Citysearch

I was really surprised to see so many negative comments about Pain for Sale. I went there to get my tongue pierced and a tattoo done for myself, and have went with two of my friends while they got tattoos done. All of us were very happy with our experience. I've never had any problem with rude staff - actually they were exactly the opposite, they made us feel very comfortable and overall were really nice people. Maybe the place isn't for prissy up-tight customers, there's no marble floors or dainty waiting areas, it's a tattoo place. The floors may not be hospital sterile, but they are clean and they use a new needle for every job. And the prices - they can't be beat - Pain for Sale has the best deals I found. So don't let the nay-sayers scare you off - if you're realistic you'll have a great experience too.

  • Pros: Easy Parking in the Back, Friendly Skilled Staff, VERY Reasonale Prices
  • Cons: If you want atmosphere go pay $200 dollars more at Mos Eisley's

Just not what they seam to be.

by DannyW1972 at Citysearch

Just not a place I would consider to get a quality tattoo after talking to a couple people in there, so I guess I wait on a shop who can do what I want.

  • Pros: they had parking I could use and the hours were ok, even though I had to wait a half hour for some one to open after the open hours.
  • Cons: They aren't very exspressive as to the art that can be performed confidently by the employees.
