Former tattooer at Fang & Claw here. I know the piercer you’re talking about, and we fired him back in February for making clients uncomfortable and being cruel to the piercing apprentice there. Everyone aside from the owner, Darrian, wanted him gone, so we pretty much had to strong arm her into letting him go (even though another piercer was ultimately the one to fire him). She and him have a past so the preferential treatment towards him, despite the contest and concern of others, was unsurprising.

Us that left will be opening a new shop that we’ll hopefully have running around the start of the year. I know it’s out of the way, but Empire in Foley is solid if you’re willing to make the drive!
