Al's Alva's Tattoo & Piercing Studio - Best tattoo studio in Mumbai

I walked in for a shoot-related requirement which, by the way, they didn’t even have. While I was there, I casually asked this guy (owner or whatever title he’s clinging to) if they still do ear piercings, because I had an old one that closed. That’s it. A simple question.
Before I could even process what was happening, this man had the audacity to grab my ear and force an earring through it no consent, no warning, nothing. Just straight-up invasive and unprofessional behavior. I didn’t ask for that. I didn’t need that. But clearly, basic boundaries aren’t his thing.
I kept it cool, said thanks, and was ready to leave because I actually have a life and work to get back to. But he just wouldn’t stop. Kept shoving earrings in my face like I owed him a purchase for something I never even asked him to do. I politely refused multiple times.
Then comes the best part: his ego couldn’t handle it. The second I mentioned wanting something more reasonable (just to get out of there), he flipped. Started repeating the same dumb line “if you can’t take it, don’t think about it” like he’d just discovered his one and only personality trait.
The shop was full, and he still chose to embarrass himself publicly. Loud, insecure, desperate for validation it was honestly hard to watch. I stayed calm the entire time, because unlike him, I don’t need to prove anything to strangers to feel important.
What’s truly ironic is that the one thing I actually went there for they didn’t even have. Zero product, zero professionalism, and yet a full-blown superiority complex.
I genuinely don’t know how people tolerate someone this pushy, this rude, and this completely lacking in basic sense. But hey, I guess when you have nothing substantial to offer, attitude becomes the only thing you can sell.

Never knew that a worst tattoo of my life would cost me around 3.5k. I did my tattoo with Al's in January 2025 as it was my birthday month and they actually made sure that this mistake of mine should be so worst that i should regret it for my whole life. Now you will say why am I posting this now as it's become almost an year, so let me tell you this that after my tattoo didn't turn up the way I want they ask me to visit them in the month of February and when I visited them they told me to wait for 40 day as the wound needs healing. I was like ok, but after 40 days when I was doing the follow up with them they just ignored me saying that the phone number for Al's tattoo is different and get in touch with them not us. All falls promises and nothing else. Don't waste your money here as they won't help if anything goes wrong.

My tattoo artist Harsh was so sweet and friendly. He is a true professional as he listened to my preferences and suggested his thoughts too.

A great experience for my first tattoo! Arun was really polite, helpful and friendly when I had called him the day before as well as when I visited the place. You might feel that it's a bit expensive but it's totally worth it!
