InBloom Tattoo & Piercing - Tracy Marissa F: Got my first non-lobe piercing here, a tragus. Kiki was the one who pierced my ears and while she was very helpful and nice, she was unable to correctly pierce my ear. Admittedly I was handed a mirror to check where she was piercing, however the way it was positioned given it seemed fine the way she marked it... I believe she pierced it closer than where she marked it and it may have caused her to hit a nerve. There was an unecessary amount of pain and amount of blood and shortly after getting it pierced and when she seemed to fully get the piercing through. When my mom was about to pay, I felt fuzzy and lightheaded and blacked out for a few seconds. Kiki told my mom it was normal and it happened all the time and went next door to get me orange juice. When I got into the car I couldnt move my hands or else they would become numb and freeze in place like if they were paralyzed and I couldnt get up for a short period of time and was feeling nauseous during it.
I got my second one redone at a different shop in Modesto and it did not hurt nearly as much and there was little to no blood. I didnt black out or feel paralyzed either.
Overall not a good experience getting pierced at In Bloom but the workers are polite and the piercing didnt cost much ($40). I will be getting re-peirced.
