I've known about Andromeda since I was in high school but never got tattooed until this year. 2 of my 4 sisters, my mom and my brother have all had tattoos done there by Joe Pollak. All of the guys know their stuff about tattooing. The shop may seem a little dingy, but the work is worth the wait and the price is always fair. Definitely recommend getting a tattoo there if you know what you want and you want it done well. I went to the sister store across the way when I got my industrial done, about 6 years ago. It was a great experience. The woman who did it knew what she was doing and managed to make me relax enough that I didn't even notice she had pierced my ear. I went back this year and had a guy pierce my ear and it was awful. I was getting a mid-cartilage piercing and wanted a half circle for it. He pierced me twice and lost contact both times - it wasn't until the third try using a labret stud instead that he managed to get the earring in and by that point I was in shock and had nearly lost consciousness. If you try the piercing side, ask for Natasha. She knows what she's doing.
Pros: Great tattoo quality and prices
Cons: piercings was messy and painful

I went to Andromeda for my piercings that was suppose to be from my rook to my daith. I have a lot of piercings and I know my information really well. I know all the parts of the ear and the after care and how the piercings are performed. The women, who pierced me, mis-marked where I wanted it done..till I pointed it out. Then she remarked it and it looked like where I wanted it. Then she used peroxide on the piercings, which you NEVER do. I almost passed out from all the pain and lack of the red liquid (wont let me say it). I looked in the mirror, it was not what I wanted but looked cool. I went home later that day and my brother pointed out that the bottom part of the barbell was pierced into the skin behind my ear. I got upset cause I SAID EAR not the skin! Later that night I was sitting there and I felt a warm liquid running down my neck, I went to wipe it and it was the red liquid. I had to go to another tattoo place to have them remove it. It was a waste of money. I would never go back there again! She claims she has been piercing for 15 years but yet doesn't know her piercing terms, uses peroxide, didn't pierce where I asked, and missed my ear and when into the skin behind my ear lobe. That was the worst piercing experience I ever had. I would recommend never to go there. It was a horrible piercing place. The service was horrendous and the women was very clueless.
Pros: there are none
Cons: the peircer was very very horrible with her profession
