We offer the best service possible. We carry the best jewelry on the market (Anatometal, Neometal, Leroi etc). We go to classes like Fakir & Association of profession piercing seminars just to keep up with times. I have been piercing since 1997 and Jon has been tattooing for about 15 years. My first needle I stuck in someone was Brian Brenner of Skinquake in front on Michael Sims. He was piercer I really admired because he taught for Fakir and really was anal on cross contamination which most of these local shop lack. We got a couple of negative reviews because we were super busy one day and anyone knows my shop when the college kids come back i might be busy one minute super slow the next. Busy is good! That means we know what we are doing because my people are word of mouth and our reputation means the world to us.

Such a great experience. My roommate and I had been planning to get IU tattoos for a long time, and after the IU Kentucky game it was the PERFECT moment to get them. We called them at 9 pm knowing they were closing at 10 and made a last minute appointment for the same night. After we got there, they took their time making everything perfect even though their technical closing time was soon. Not only did Jon do a GREAT job with both our tattoos, but they made it a wonderful experience for both of us, and the two friends we brought with us. They stayed open an hour later than they were supposed to, took pictures for us, played our music requests, and made us laugh. Not badly priced at all, great quality tattoos, clean location and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend them.

My sister and I both recently got daith piercings by Jamie! She was amazing! She was very friendly and sanitary. She made sure that all of her tools and the jewelry was sanitized. In fact the supplies were just getting out of the autoclave sanitizer as we got started. The ball fell out of my earring within 5 minutes of leaving (due to it being a dark colored ball making it difficult for her to put it) and I came back and she was happy to put it back in right away! Then I accidentally picked out the wrong color and noticed it when I left, walked back in and she patiently helped me pick out the right color purple and changed it very quickly! The experience was great and she was wonderful!

This place is great. My roommate got a tat their about a week ago and me and my other friend came along with her. They were very nice to us and talked to us while we were waiting. They even switched the music they were playing to something we liked. The guy who did the tat was very good and nice and everything was very clean and organized! My roommate loved her tat and their prices are very reasonable I will deff come here to get something in the future :) Thanks guys!!

Got my nose pierced here abotu a month ago. It was my first piercing. They had a great selection of jewelry and were very kind and patient with my nervousness. The process was quick, relatively painless, and expertly done. Additionally, when I started to feel faint afterwards, they were very caring and helped me get to feeling better. I have only good things to say about this place, and were I to want something else pierced I would no doubt come here again.

Ive gotten multiple piercings here, along with one tattoo. I also brought my little sister in for her ear piercings. Every time I visit, Jon and Jamie are nothing but friendly and knowledgeable. The shop is always sanitary and clean. If I have trouble with my piercings (which Im prone to - sensitive skin), Jamie always offers suggestions and help. Love coming to Evil by the Needle and would highly recommend it to others.

Just got my second tattoo here, and they were amazing! It was on my ribs, which isnt the most comfortable spot to get inked, but he was really understanding when the pain got bad and made the whole thing go really smoothly. Ill definitely go back, they treat their customers really well! Great family who owns the business, i would highly recommend going here. Im in love with my tattoo!

Jon did a watercolor tattoo for my sister, and Terren did a dandelion for my mother. They both did such a fabulous job! I was totally bummed that we didnt have time left for me to get a tattoo as well. Beautiful artwork, and we so enjoyed chatting with them while we were getting inked. Cant wait to go back and get mine done! I live three hours away, and its totally worth the drive!

Went with a friend to get some piercings, and they turned out wonderful! The piercers were very gentle and allowed him to take his time when he was fairly shocked after first getting them. They even brought him water and plaid relaxing music as he recovered from his first piercing experience. Very nice people who do great piercings for a really cheap price! Amazing place

I got my first tattoo from Jon at Evil by The Needle, and he was absolutely fantastic. He was very patient with me. He is so accommodating to everyone that comes in, and will make sure your tattoo is placed somewhere it will look good. I have also gotten several piercings done by Jamie, and I wont go anywhere else for a tattoo or piercing. They are just fantastic.

Unprofessional, disrespectful, made be feel bad about my body and my decisions, had her kid just hanging around in the piercing room, didnt provide me with information on how to take care of my piercing. The piercing itself was fine but the service was very unprofessional

A regular piercing is just $15 ($25 for some of the fancier ones), which is a crazy good deal. Not only that, but they did an excellent job with my friends nose piercing and my eyebrow piercing. They were also very friendly. Im not sure Id go anywhere else now!

All I can say is, I LOVE my tattoo. It is so beautiful, and better than I ever imagined it! The experience was wonderful. I came in with an idea and Jon worked with me to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Not only that, it was a cover up!

Eric Stuckey

I ask Jon for a Star Wars Sandtrooper tattoo and boy did he deliver . he was patent with me all the way through. He was considerate of my time and what I wanted. I could not love my tattoo anymore.

Steven King

Jon did a fantastic job on my tat. Im very glad of the choice I made choosing Evil by the Needle to do the work that is permanently on my body. I will go back to them for future work as well.

I got a tattoo done by Jon there and absolutely love it! The experience is one I wont forget for my first tattoo, and the atmosphere made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Thanks guys!

The workers are professional and welcoming. Will answer your questions with no problems and overall know their deal. Ive gotten a few piercings with them and no problem.

Its a wonderful, family orientated, very clean, and very friendly atmosphere. #1 place in Bloomington for piercings and tattoos.
