Got a tattoo from Michael Ellis here and he was awesome! A little backstory: At 18, I got my first tattoo (not at Needle Masters or by Michael). It was a dumb tattoo in a dumb place, but at the time I thought it was cool. Nothing incredibly stupid or anything, just what was trendy at the time. I learned a few very important things from this tattoo: 1) Do your research! I cant stress this enough!!! Make sure you know who is going to be stabbing I went to for I researched artists in 3 states looking for the best artist I could find, and Michael was definitely the right choice! Michael worked with me to go over what I wanted - I gave him a lot of artistic freedom with it because I saw his portfolio and work online and trusted him with a needle repeatedly for potentially hours on end. I knew the shop I chose to go to back then had been around for a while, but knew virtually nothing about it or the people that worked there. And I didnt do any prior research. Major mistake. I got a guy who went too deep with the needle (either he was new or just bad at his job) and ended up with the skin where my tattoo was being permanently raised (it feels like Braille when you run your hands over it). I cared for it exactly as the instructions stated, before you go blaming me for after-care. My blame lies in not researching the guy or the place prior to walking in. I was young and stupid and just assumed all tattoo parlors were the same. Fast forward to now and I took my time and researched artists in 3 states looking for the best artist I could find, and Michael was definitely the right choice! Michael worked with me to go over what I wanted - and I gave him a lot of artistic freedom with it because I saw his portfolio and work online and met with him prior to getting it done and I trusted him. And he did a fantastic job! He covered up the old tattoo completely and the new artwork is beautiful. And he knows his stuff - really, really well. So of course this healed properly, no raised skin on the new tattoo! 2) Youll see it said time and time again - "a cheap tattoo aint good and a good tattoo aint cheap." This is true - see my point above. This is going to be on your body permanently- do you really want some discount, bargain-bin, basement sale quality tattoo that you have to look at for the rest of your life? This is your body, dont cut corners. I got a "deal" on my first tattoo, and I can tell you in the long run, it was no deal. I dont make a ton of money, and my cover-up by Michael wasnt cheap (but was WELL within reason for what I was asking for). And it was well worth it to pay for his time and talent! I was able to just set aside a couple bucks every paycheck and schedule an appointment every time I had enough money for another session. Michael was always easy to get ahold of, quick to respond, and quick to get me in. Again, the prices werent exorbitant, they were very reasonable. It took 3, 3 hour sessions over the course of a year, and I couldnt be happier with the results. Michael was very patient with me, worked me into his always crazy busy schedule whenever I was ready for the next session, and his rates were great! I recommend him to anyone I know looking to get tattoo work done and will definitely be going back to him in the future myself. Hes the only guy I trust now!

For the majority of my life Ive had migraines/ headaches and for the majority of my life Ive taken medication for it. I decided to look onto alternative methods to ease the pain. Every where I looked the daith piercing was mentioned. Daith is the thick area of skin leading into your ear canal, also the area where the pins are put in acupuncture to relieve migraines. So the piercing acts as a 24hrs acupuncture. Went into Needle Masters and Whitey made me feel very comfortable and was very professional. I have now had my piercings for about a month and have been headache free the whole time! I would recommend the daith piercing to anyone who suffers from migraines!

Had an original appointment scheduled for 2 people for April 9th at 11am and by 1pm mario still hadnt shown up an when he finally got there he only ended up doing 1 of the tattoos told us to come back tomorrow for the other. We went back the next day only for him to be 3+ hours late again and he only did half the tattoo. We scheduled an appointment for May 1st at 11am to get the tattoo finished and its now 1pm and he still has yet to show. With multiple calls and texts from not only the client but other staff as well and this is the 3rd time hes bailed. Will never be coming back here again. The lack of customer care is astounding

AMAZING! I just got my first tattoo 2 days ago. And it turned out perfect! I was so scared because I thought it was going to hurt a lot. The artist (Jose) was very kind and made sure that everything was going to be perfect. He wanted to make sure that I was going to be satisfied in the end, which I was!!! He did a fantastic job!

Got my nipples pierced here, the chick who did it was awesome she answered all of my questions & was so cool about it. She gave me her personal number to call if I had any questions! I recommend anyone who asks to go here the one on Reynolds did my venom bites & it was gnarly. Worth more than 5 stars in my opinion

I got my lip pierced at the south needle masters and I will definately be going back for my other piercings and tattoos! The guy was really nice and good at helping you not feel so nervous lol. He did a really good job and the shop seemed nice and clean also.
