DO NOT GO HERE!!! I checked out priced on a Triple Helix Piercing and every shop charged $30 per piercing. I went on in to A1 and had it done. When I was finished, I asked her how much.....$210!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked how much the actual piercing was, so I could figure out what to tip her, She said "its all together in one price". Well then, I wont be tipping her I thought. I was so unhappy when I left and knew I got ripped off purposely by this woman. A week and a half later, one of the piercings fell out. instead of going back there, I wen to another place close to my work so I didnt have to take time off for this. When he told me what he charged and that she put too short of a stud in and that is why it fell out, I was even more upset! I called A1 and out of curiosity, I asked how much they charge for the same thing I had.......it was the same woman who did my piercing....SHE SAID $160!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked her why she charged me so much then? She fumbled over her words and said that $160 was an "ESTIMATE"! Estimate? Estimate of what? What are you estimating? Then she claimed that my jewelry was what the extra was. She couldnt figure out what to say! LIARS and THIEVES!!! Please do not give them business!

I got my double high nostrils pierced, I really dont know how many stars to give because although it was supposed to be just two piercings I ended up getting pierced 5 times. Two in one nostril and three in the other to get it right symmetrically. The piercer gave me a 50% discount when all was done(I believe it should have been free due to how many times he messed up). I probably wont end up going here again, the piercer seemed unprofessional due to his lack of placement skills, and an aftercare instructional sheet that the piercer obviously finds hilarious but is just plain juvenile.

I work here, ive been here for almost a year but with the crew and even community around here I feel like im home!!! the business has been around for 25+ years and the work we do here is proof of its success. I have multtiple awards from the local conventions I have attended and I intend to do award winning work on anyone large or small!!! im from California so black and grey work is some of my favorite to do but a like to do a little of everything. come check out our portfolios and make the decision yourself. $60 shop min $75-100 per hour

i got my 3rd tattoo here (first 2 were done somewhere else). Went there for a forearm tattoo by ricky, didnt really like it, he wanted to do it free hand and i wasnt totally comfortable with it but he did it anyways. Didnt really listen to what i wanted either. So now i have a lotus flower tattoo that looks like crap. the lines look as if he had a shaky hand and scribbled. definitely need it touched up a lot. paid $200 and sat for 3 hours. not worth it. Ive been to 2 other shops that were much much better.

I was referred to this place by my friend and it was so horrible I was rushed when I already made a down payment the artist did not acknowledge any suggestions I askednfor my tattoo and when I seen how bad he really messed up all hebsaid was sorry. I bet he didnt offer to fix it or reimburse my money all I can do is cry. Please look for another artist and stay away from A-1and JR. Dont have anything positive to say, PERIOD! Money was the the problem it was getting ripped off was the problem.

I am not personally a fan of tattoos, but my daughter certainly is! She has never been able to sit still to have her hair combed or braided because it hurt too much, and shes about as fidgety and hyper as they come. Yet, once Kayla started working on her, she became still as a statue and sat there for four hours without a single complaint. I have to admit, the wolf tattoo is beautiful, and I am very pleased to know the Tribal Wolf will always have my daughters back. Excellent work!

Id like to give a MUCH deserved shout out to j.r. Karlson at A1 Tattoo. He is always very professional and on time. He makes me feel comfortable and gives his artistic input whenever I ask. Super good energy to be around, always positive and awesome work. I have gotten several pieces from him and will continue to go back. :) Thanks for making Everytime an awesome experience!!

I work here and I love it!!! We have 4 artist and two piercers and everyone has their own style and manner. Working with such a diverse and talented group makes it easy for you to choose who you want to do your tattoo or piercings. Our prices for piercings are for basic jewelry if you want better jewelry there is an upgrade in price, naturally.

I had a tattoo about a month ago, and I went back to get my tattoo finished up recently. My only complaint is my artist was a bit forgetful despite a month or two gap. First it was $200 dollars for my tattoo, then 250$. But he changed it back to $200, as both of are memories werent positive.

Ive had 3 tattoos done by Ricky and they all turned out great. The last one was 6 1/2 hours long - he was awesome and was willing to stay late to get it done since I didnt want to split it up into 2 different sessions. I recommend him to everyone I know! Great job guys!

Loser who does ear piercing for a1 charges $50 to pierce ears. $50 bucks! You can drive 1 minute up Robert street and Wal-Mart will do the exact same piercing for $20. If youre willing to drive a little further Claires will do ear piercing for free.

Amado is amazing, he is so creative. After having somebody else do a horrible tattoo on my back he fixed it better than I could have ever hoped. Literally gave me so much self confidence back. Great work and awesome people.

I went to see one of the artists at this shop to get my back piece done. The shop is very clean and everyone is very friendly. This is the only shop I plan on going to from now on! I highly recommend this shop!

I recently went there to get my forearm tattoo done by Ricky. He did a wonderful job!!! I barely even felt it he was so gentle, and the best part is that it looked exactly how I imagined it :)

Very poor piercing staff. Clean environment. Pierced my tongue wrong. And has been messed up since. Went back to get a replacement bar. And dropped it all on the floor.
