As soon as I walked into this place I knew I should have left. The staff was rude and they acted like the business I was giving them was an inconvenience. After waiting a while our "tattoo artist" came up to us without even saying hi and told us wed start after he had a cigarette. So on top of his god awful body odor (I mean he smelled just dirty) he also smelled like cigarettes. Once we started talking tattoos I feel like he pressured me (and my sister) into a design We didnt really want because i think he just wasnt capable of doing what we wanted. But we both tried to have faith in his expertise and ended up very disappointed. This was my little sisters first tattoo so she was very excited at first but she already wants to cover it up (as do I) and it hasnt even been a year. This guy was so incredibly rude to us the entire time and had to stop for a cigarette between our tattoos which are literally the size of a quarter. And again, I really cannot express how bad this guy smelled. I dont know his name, because he didnt even introduce himself to us, but his work space was covered in a bunch of Star Wars stuff. I really dont know how this guy is employed I mean he walked in looking like he just got off a 4 day drug fest. I hate to be the uptight person who writes reviews about stuff but people really should be warned and I should have known better just by the look and smell of this dude.

I got my nose pierced here, they are awesome. Emily did my piercing, she was very experienced, clean and friendly. Ive always felt the people in Tattoo shops can be a little snotty, and really only give you the time of day if your willing to spend thousands on large tattoos. Not Ambrotos, all though I only had one thing done, I keep coming back to purchase jewelry and Ive knocked my nose ring out a few times during the healing process, each time theyve treated me like a million dollar customer, they remember my name and they always build rapport! I also had several questions, the man that was working literally answered all my questions in a Lengthy and informative phone call. The moment I do want to spend thousands on a dope tattoo Im going to Ambrotos!

This past summer I checked Ambrotos out because I wanted a piercing and the reviews here were great for Emily. At the time it was a super convenient location. I was able to walk in without any appt and set up my industrial piercing with her. She was extremely knowledgeable and informative. She explained the process throughout its entirety so there were no surprises. Emilys aftercare instructions were thorough and I knew exactly what to pick up up from the store. Recently, I lost the end ball of my barbell and I went back and told Emily what had happened an also that my piercing healed a touch too tight lengthwise. Not only did she replace it in the correct size but she did it for nothing. Highly recommend Emily as a piercing artist hands down!!!

My friend and I got our navels pierced the other day and they were great! We got a girl named Emily and she was fantastic. We were both very nervous but she wasnt condescending or rude in any way. In between piercings she cleaned and sanitized everything. She explained what she was doing before she did it, and as she did it, so that we didnt freak out. She explained all of the after care procedures and gave her own personal suggestions. I definitely suggest going there for piercings and I plan on going there for when I get a tattoo.

I called them up to see if they could take a walk in and they managed to squeeze me in at that moment. I was there within a half hr. and saw Tim. He gave me an outstanding compass rose tattoo for a reasonable price. The man REALLY knows his stuff. Hes got a classic style with clean lines and is great at lining stuff up evenly/spacing and sizing if you have other art to work around. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get work done, Tim was the guy. 10/10, would visit again.

I was going to get a piercing with Emily, she was very nice on the phone and has done some of friends, but when I came some guy with a beard greeted me. He didnt even introduce himself. I forgot my ID at home and he was kind of rude about it. As I was walking out, he said "next time you wont forget your ID." His attitude just put me off. I would rather pay the extra $30 at Raw Ink where I know theyre more professional than that guy.

My guy was super friendly and the price was very convenient. Only 40 for a cartilage piercing! At first when I looked at the reviews online I was skeptical because of all the good reviews but after my experience I see that it did indeed deserve the good ratings it recieves. Would definitely recommend.

Emily, the piercer, is the best. She is knows her stuff, answers your questions without making you feel stupid, and shes super fun to talk to. Ive gone to her for a septum piercing and getting new tops in my dermals and plan to come see her again soon! Youre awesome Emily!

if youre going to get piercings ask for Emily, she is awesome! I went to get my belly pierced today and she explained step by step what she was going to do and made the process simple and fast and got me out within 10 minutes! I will definitely be back soon.

I go here for piercings. Looks suspect on the outside but inside is clean and comfortable. Emily is the piercer and she knows her stuff. Very friendly and good prices for work. Downside is theyre a little understaffed so you may have a long wait

I absolutely love this shop. If you want a clean professional tattoo this shop is for you! Mikey is a great tattoo artist. He puts in hard work to make sure your tattoo is the best!. I highly recommend this shop to any and everyone.

I cant stress enough how amazing they are. Emily the piercer has been amazing every single time Ive gotten new piercings, needed something fixed, or asked a question. Theyre all very kind & helpful 10/10 will be going again

Got a piercing a little while ago with Emily. She was so transparent with the process and very supportive! An amazing piercer and just as amazing person. The experience could not have been any better!

I went in as a "walk in" and they welcomed me. Answered all my questions and had me drawn and inked that same day. Affordable and clean. Cant wait to go back. Thanks again Mikey

My wife and I just got back from getting tattoos from Tim. The place was clean and friendly. Tattoos look great. This was my first at 43 yrs old, and Ill be back.

Place was very clean and the artist who did my tattoo Eric was very nice, funny, and did a great job. Everybody who worked there was funny and outgoing.
