All of my piercing experiences at this place have been wonderful. On the other hand, my tattoo experiences have been regrettable. I walked out of this place with two embarrassingly bad tattoos (confirmed by my peers) and one quality, over-priced tattoo. Charged me $100 for a tiny, simple tattoo that consists of a few solid black lines. Ended up with crooked lines because the artist carelessly half-assed her way through it in 15 minutes. They were smart to fire her. Went to another artist to get it touched up/fixed, they charged me $20 to go over the entire thing... A much more reasonable price for such a tiny and simple tattoo. I figured Id give Sick Ink another shot since their other artists have so many good reviews and Ive seen some nice work come out of there. My quality, over-priced tattoo. Another tiny, simple $40 (max) tattoo that I was charged $100 for. This artist really took his time to get every line perfect. Id go back to him again if he wouldnt charge me an arm and a leg for a tattoo that any other artist would do for less than half the price. Id love to go back and have him do a small wrist tattoo for me but I dont have $700 to throw away on a $100 tattoo. The last tattoo that I got at this place is the product of a two-hour four-hour session where another careless artist half-assed his way through a permanent addition to my body. The tattoo is sloppy and has no detail, its the opposite of what this artist promised me. I got this vibe that everyone else in the shop could see that he was screwing it up and just tried not to comment. I couldve and wouldve ideally liked to sit through that entire tattoo without a single break however if the artist wants to take two or three breaks thats fine. Completely understandable. This artist couldve added so much more detail to the tattoo if he didnt keep taking 20 minute breaks every (what felt like) 5 minutes where he would just go screw around. He wasted an infuriating amount of time and still charged me for it. Ive walked away from this place feeling ripped off three times. Everyone at Sick Ink has a great sense of humor and creates a great atmosphere. "Tony" had me dying inside (in a good way) and made it difficult not to outwardly express it. That man is my favorite. The inside of this shop looks like the inside of my home with the black walls, horror, 666s everywhere. Their piercers and artists are clean. I felt comfortable there and it was a pleasure chilling with such seemingly cool people however walking away with a horrible over-priced tattoo really detracts from that positivity. If youre made of money and youre going to get a tattoo here, schedule with their long-time artists. I chose to schedule with Sick Inks fly-by artists. Now Im going to a different shop scheduling appointments with a miracle worker to have another ugly tattoo turned into less of an eyesore.

Got my navel pierced here 6 months ago. It hurt a lot more than it was supposed to, and I got the feeling that something was horribly wrong. But I figured, hey, theyre the piercers, theyll tell me if something wasnt right, right? WRONG. Over the next few months I noticed something didnt seem right with the piercing, so I went back multiple times to have it "looked at". Well, apparently, "looking" at a piercing means glancing at it for 2 seconds over the counter! They told me it looked "fine" each time, like they werent sure why I was there and just wanted me out the door. Well, after experiencing pain that I was not supposed to be feeling, I finally went to another shop for a second opinion. Apparently my body had been slowly rejecting my piercing FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS. They told me it was done too shallow and it is beyond saving. I had to take my jewelry out! 6 months of pain, and all for NOTHING! Yet Sick Ink said my piercing was "fine"! I will now have a scar and may not be able to have it repierced to fix their mistake! Thanks a lot! Never go here for a piercing, trust me!

Adam was my guy☺ He made my first tatoo experience GREAT! I recently lost my beautiful Rottie and I wanted a small wrist tatoo in memory of her. I gave Adam my print of what I wanted and he worked with it and the end result was me a Happy camper. This place was recommended by a friend AND I am so glad I went. I was a walk in so waiting an hour was not bad, being that they had 2 clients getting tats done. These people are professionals and they are clean& respectable. I love the lay out of their shop. I love that they have parking. I love that they were very friendly and were not afraid to make small talk with us while i was getting tatted. This is a good way to build a relationship with a customer to keep them coming back. I will def be back. Their prices ARE reasonable.

Horrible, racist, tattoo shop. Got a tattoo done there about a month ago. Tattoo artist spelled a word wrong on my foot after I clearly spelled the words out for him on paper. He tells me to come back after it heals to touch it up, which is what I tried to do today, and he was very disrespectful. I tried being civil with him until he started raising his voice and calling me a "hoodrat" as well as other obscenities. The acting "owner" allowed this employee to speak to me in that manner without saying anything to him and said hes not doing anything for me although their artist messed up a tattoo. Bad business for a well-known establishment. Negative 5 stars if it were allowed.

I gave this place 3 out of 5 because the tattoo i got was great. The work is great but my tattoo artist was meh. A 4 hour tattoo took him about 7 hours to do. We did 2 sessions because i opted not to do the whole tattoo in one sitting. After half hour of working on me, he went on a smoke/lunch break then after an hour took a 15 minute smoke break. Then our next session, he had to step out to pick up a prescription at Wal-Mart plus all the breaks in between. Ive had another bigger tattoo done years ago and dont remember the artist leaving so many times. I understand you need to stretch but it shouldnt take 7 hours for a tattoo the size of my hand.

At 52 years old I decided to get my first tattoo as a tribute to my husband who had recently passed away. Sick ink Studios came highly recommended so I decided to go and speak with them about the design. Jesse designed an amazing Celtic cross with angel wings. The artwork, color and shading are beautiful. I went back and had an addition to the original tattoo, again designed by Jessie with flowers and stars to represent our children and grandchildren. I cant wait to go back for my next appointment and have more added to my tattoo, which is turning into a beautiful picture story of my life. Jesse is amazing. I highly recommend Sick Ink Studios.

I felt like I needed to respond just to ensure those who may consider Sick Ink... DO IT! I have a tattoo of my fathers actual signature on the side of my foot. It is PERFECT! I expected it to be good but went in with the expectation that there is no way a tattoo can be EXACTLY PERFECT. Mine is! AND I AM VERY PICKY SO I DO NOT SAY THIS WITHOUT TRULY MEANING IT! The artist spent time perfecting the template and continued to tweek the tiniest of adjustments so that it was EXACTLY what I wanted. It has been almost a year now, and it still looks amazing.
