I went here for my first tattoo when I turned 18 and they were awesome! I walked in completely unsure of whether or not I was going to do it that day or not, was greeted at the door by Tom and he made a perfect design for me while adding his own flair. Right then and there I knew I was going to get it done there rather than elsewhere. The shop is so clean, and they open all of their materials right in front of you so theres no question whether or not theyre using clean materials. Tom was super nice and easy-going and easy to talk to. I went through the entire tattoo without any real pain or discomfort, and when he was getting to spots that are more sensitive he warned me beforehand. I had a wonderful experience here and will definitely be going back to them for my second tattoo in the near future.

I would give a 5 star rating, but one of the artist that did one out of 5 that I got from here, did a bad job- he was very heavy handed, and did an awful job. So now I have to try and have it fixed. Not sure if he even works there still? Dave- did my Claddagh tattoo; AMAZING!!! He was so good I almost fell asleep while he tattooed this huge Claddagh with a heart of shamrocks around it, on my left shoulder/back!! Kim did an amazing job on my resent tattoo, she was AWESOME, and I love her work! And a former employee that did my first two was by far; just excellent!! Going back Monday for two new tattoos! Cant wait. Very clean, friendly, accommodating, and just amazing artist! Highly recommended. Only place I ever went for all of my tattoos, and my tongue piercing.

I would not recommend having a tattoo redone there, heres my experience, I went there to have my tribal tat re inked After about 3 weeks my inner arm bicep had looked liked it was bruised but it wasnt I returned and was told this bogus lie that it was ink that bled into my fatty tissue, my arms are not fat, so I went to another tattoo shop and was told the so called artist went to deep with the needle and it bled in to my arm tissue, I was not happy now everyone asks where I got the bruising and I tell them express your self screwed up my arm and lied to cover his butt

Had a great time when I went, but it was my first tattoo and I didnt know what I should be looking for. The woman who did my quote was talented and friendly, and at the time I lived how my tattoo turned out. 2 years later, in a new city and at a new shop, I was informed that the artist who did it used too big of a needle, and thats why my letters have bled out and gotten "mushy," the shading she had done is long gone. And I take care of my tattoos daily, and dont spend time in the sun, so needless to say I am disappointed with my first tattoo from this shop.

First of all, they were so patient with us, (we went in a group of three) even though we were all pretty nervous. We got two Navals and a helix, all in under 30 minutes. Very clean, she opened everything in front of us, changed her gloves and the paper on the chair with each person, and wore a face mask as well. She also dotted each of us to make sure we were happy with the area. Absolutely in love with my naval and have nothing bad to say! Great prices and beautiful jewelry to start with!

Havent been able to get there in a year or so but the two times i have been were great all around experiences! Dave doing my stars great love them but so far tom is my favorite so far doing my sons tribute and jamming to tool the whole time. And as for the girl at the desk totally cool as hell unlike tje last post stated overall 11 out of 10! Oh and taxes are coming soon so Tom you will be seeing me again soon for sure buddy

I have been here before for a forward helix piercing. It was done properly. Recently every time I go in the girl who works the front desk always has a pretensious attitude. She is snippy & rude as well as impersonal. Their tattoos, in opinion, are poorly done but factually are completely over priced. Many much better places with greater atmosphere.

I receive all my piercings here. Im not really good with pain, so Im always extremely nervous before a piercing. The staff here make u feel comfortable, they calm ur nerves, and talk to you throughout the whole entire procedure. If it werent for the slight pinch, I would almost forget that Im getting a piercing.

Alessa Cadman

I had piercings. done and the lady was very professional, and full of information about the piercings. She was very sympathetic when I had it done. Thank you

Dave did an awesome job. Its my first tattoo. I was fidgety and didnt know what to expect. He made the process easy, calming, and pain free.

I get all my piercings here. Ask for Jess, tell her Kat (the Opal lady) said to come in and have her give you your next piercing!!

Had a hand tat done here. Tatoo came out great. Customer service and tat instruction lacking for sure.
