I have two stories about Tribal Rites... If you come, please request Christian! He did my tattoo and stayed late to tattoo two of my friends as well, and he did such an amazing job on each of them. For mine, there was a lot of detail and fine lines, but he has obviously completely mastered that tequnique, and it looks fantastic. Christian is so friendly as well and made us all feel comfortable. HOWEVER, please do not see Nate, if you come to tribal rites. Or if you do, just know that he can be very aggressive. Even though I did not see Nate for my tattoo, I had to interact with him while I was there, and he made the end of my time there absolutely awful. What happened was that the cashier made a mistake while processing my payment, and because of this she had to cancel it and retry my card. However, at this point my bank had become suspicious and put a hold on my card, so the payment would not go through (it was late at night too, so I couldnt call). The cashier then very kindly told me not to worry about it, that since she made the mistake I would be reimbursed, and I didnt have to pay at all. I was willing to come back and pay, but I thought that was so nice and responsible of her and the business to tell me not to worry about it. I was about to give an incredible review the moment I left... However, a while later, Nate approached me with a very aggressive demeanor and demanded that I pay for my tattoo. I told him I couldnt. I was just so confused. But he insisted that I pay, saying things like, "what are you, since you didnt pay for something? What does that make you?" and I was legitimately scared of him, and upset since he kept implying I was a thief. I didnt even know him at all. Nate then insisted that I leave either my credit card or my phone with him until I could pay, to which I was very insulted and baffeled--I was told I didnt have to pay because of the businesss mistake, and then I was being forced to leave a very valuable possession with a stranger because of their mistake. I told him I couldnt do that. I was in shock and was having trouble getting out words at that point. If my friend had not stepped up to pay them herself, Nate would have called the police on me, as he admitted later. After this, I was finally over my shock enough to explain everything to him, and at this he apologized over and over again, which was good of him to do...however it still in no way excuses the fact that he accused a young, polite girl of stealing and made her feel threatened without even knowing the facts of what happened. Without understanding that his buisness had made a mistake, and given an oral contract with me that I would be refunded, he assumed--very aggressively--that I was stealing, and Ive never felt so attacked in my life.... So, all that being said, please do not support Nate if you dont want to deal with someone who is pretty two-faced, who seems very kind at first but who has the ability to be very threatening and aggressive. Please do see Christian, because hell give you a tattoo thats everything you want it to be and more.

I would never recommend going here. I got my nose pierced about a month ago, an easy piercing. The guy who did it was rude and barley said a word to me. I am nervous around needles, lol and I know its silly to have piercings and tattoos and be scared of needles. But I told him I was nervous and tried to talk and he basically ignored me. He also did not get the needle threw the first time and had to do it twice. After a month of letting it heal and taking proper care of it, per the booklet and verbal instructions they gave me, I had to take it out to replace it with a different stud. I had to do this because my nose seemed to be rejecting the type of metal they pierced me with. When trying to get the piercing out I had a friend help me, she also has piercings, and it was very difficult to get out due to the fact that the piercing was not straight, it was slanted. There was also a lot of scar tissue on the inside of my nose. Because it was slanted we could not get another stud in. We also noticed that the stud seemed to be peeling off the tip, indicating it was cheap. It is almost completely healed now, after a few days, and I will be going somewhere else to get it redone. I also got a tattoo I drew quoted since I was there and their only artist quoted me $800-$1200, and his work was not impressive from the pics he had, I have had it quoted other places and have been told at the most $600. They are not a good company and I will NEVER get anything done there again.

Everyones got a tat story right.so mine in particular is a personal sad story I wish we took before and after pics .I had one bad tat covered up by an even worse tat :( it embarrassed me very much and nate was very knowledgeable and clear about what and how he could fix it and I trust nate as a client should trust there artist he spent a few minutes looking at it ...got started and gave me a beautifully fixed tattoo nate was also very down to earth and easy to talk too ....he literally turned an ugly tattoo as well as memory into something very special and I love my tattoo ...he had me laughing the whole time even after I shared my sad story I really enjoyed his company as well as professionalism he really made me feel comfortable and I cant thank him and tribal rites enough !what he did for me by fixing my tattoo words just cant say ...

We went in for just some jewelry, the cashier had a very hard time trying to spilt focus between us and another customer. She wasnt knowledgeable about different gauges and when she finally found one of the lip rings we wanted with a ball she dropped it on the floor loosing the 1 ball that actually fit want we wanted. We switched to another option because we really needed the lip ring, waited for her to find the 2 we needed while she jump back and forth between us and the other patrons. Upon checking out the machine started to not work because she had dropped it. She became more focused on how much a replacement device would cost then trying to get us paid for and put the door. 10 min trip turned into over 30.

Ive had a few tattoos done by Nate, one that included my Lovebirds ashes. Ive also had my tragus piercings done here by Jordy, my Daith done by Lauren. I can not ask for a better experience at this shop! Everyone is so nice, welcoming, and very helpful when I have questions. They really make you feel like part of their family. Nate even did a few sharpie "tattoos" for my 3 yr old son! Prices are hard to beat, and very high quality work! I recommend this shop to ALL my friends and family. I will always come back to Tribal Rites for more body art therapy!
