.FYI-The management refuses to give my money back. When I confronted them they called the cops on me. This was the worst tattoo experience I ever had. The tattoo artist was completely high on drugs.After I he was done he actually mentioned what other drugs he was looking to score. I told him about this new tattoo that I wanted and he started working on one of my old tattoos. At first I thought he was trying to enhance my current art and he was going above and beyond with good customer service but after an hour he opened his mouth I realized he was incoherent mumbling all his words. I knew he was under the influence. After he finished he started taping me up getting me ready to leave. I told him he didnt even do the piece I had come for. Although I told the him what I wanted twice he said he didnt remember. He even was asking me about being in the military because he thought we had a conversation about it. I have never been in the military, this is how out of it he was. Being an idiot and not wanting to lose my $200 I figured I would let him at least outline the tattoo I wanted. Pretty easy tat all straight lines with a little shading. Yeah right! Ive had a lot of work done and I have never been in so much pain getting a tattoo. After he bandaged me up with all the blood and smeared ink, yes thats right he didnt even clean the area, I went home. I took a quick shower to get an idea of how it looked, it was terrible. He completely messed up my old work, all the knot work was jacked up. He went over the lines, outside the lines and I even have random ink spots outside the tattoo. The one I actually came for looked like a 3 year old did it. Im sure not all people here are this bad. The management should know their people and not let them work under the influence. Im very disappointed and have to go seek another tattoo artist to fix all the mistakes. Im sure it will end up costing me double. 1 week later - follow up to the 1st review. I just got back from a very reputable artist and he said I was completely screwed over. He said outside of the intense scarring, bruising and miserable lines, he said I will have to go pay a tattoo removal company to lighten the areas before he can fix it. This will actually end up costing me three times the expected amount. DO NOT EVER GO HERE! 357 Ink ruined both my previous tattoos and did a terrible job on the third. Everything needs to be replaced. I encourage the manager and/or owner to contact me if they care about their customers. You all have my number.

My cousin got her first tattoo here. We had gone to another place first to meet with an artist, and while their shop looked incredible their artist made us really uncomfortable. We stopped in to 357 Ink after my boyfriend suggested it, having gotten some work there before. Im glad we did! The guys here were incredibly friendly and knew what they were doing. They worked with my cousin to figure out what she wanted (she had an idea, but they improved it) and made us feel good about being there. I plan on getting my first tattoo in the next few weeks and will definitely be visiting 357 Ink for it. The place may not be fancy looking... but it is clean, relaxed, and welcoming and has an incredible team there!

Worst experience ever. Went to get our tragus pierced, and then for two tattoos on our feet. The tragus piercings fell out in a matter of days. Mine never healed, and I had to take out less than three weeks after getting it done. My friend is still having major issues with hers. Our tattoos also SUCK!!! I will have to have both of mine redone. It has been over three weeks, and neither have healed completely. THey are still extremely scabbed over, and the ink looks as if it is already faded. THere are portions that have already worn off. I will never go there again, and do not recommend that you go there. If you want a quality tattoo or a piercing that will heal...DO NOT GO THERE!!!!

Came in tonight for my first session on a very large tattoo cover up, complicated by the fact it includes a wrap around barb wire Im trying to get rid of. I met and worked with Bryan Fadeproof. Bryan is a 1st class artist who is down to earth, listens, is kind, honest, creative, talented, and even though we just did the outline tonight, his work is,EXCELLENT. I have been trying for 5 years to find an artist to help me with this cover up, I knew within 5 min Bryan was the guy. I also met Valerie, Mike and Jay, all of which were extremely nice, kind, and friendly. This shop is customer service oriented, an absolute rarity in this industry. I cant wait for Bryan to finish my cover up!

I have had nothing but good experiences at 357 Ink. My wife and I have been going there for years and have had many tattoos and piercings that were well inked and healed just fine because we put the extra effort in to take care of them. Some people shouldnt get tattoos/piercings, if they arent going to take care of them. Bryan Fadeproof is an amazing artist and tattoo artist. He does outstanding custom designs! I am extremely happy with our tattoos and would definitely recommend that you get work from him or someone else in this shop. Jay is also amazing!

went in there paying 250$ for a piece about the size of my had on my left peck for my first tattoo, I got the my outline done and the tattoo artist makes the comment of If youd like you can come back in 2 weeks and well finish it up, I was like ok cool Im ok with that. I come back 2 weeks after and the manager there tells me it will be an extra 60$ every time because of the time for the tattoo artist to setup and clean his equipment, that was never mentioned top me before or after I got the table, Ive seen others with nice pieces for 300

This is my second tattoo from TJ at 357 ink and every experience was a great one. TJ is a laid back and very relaxed artist who takes his time to make sure his work is great. My sleeve is now complete and I have been getting rave reviews on my tattoo. TJ is always open for input on his work to get the optimal visual and artistic appeal as possible. 357 ink has a very relaxed atmosphere and it seems as though they really care about every client that walks through the door. I will not let anyone else do any of my but TJ, hes the man...
