I have some mixed feelings about this specific tattoo shop. The first ever tattoo I got was at this place and the tattoo artist at the time did an amazing job and I loved the tattoo he did. I also got my ear pierced here and the lady did a good job. My sister also got a tattoo at this place and the guy who did hers did an amazing job. I decided to get another tattoo today and had very high hopes for it turning out good. Once I arrived, the lady informed me that the tattoo artists who was supposed to tattoo me that day never showed up and so they brought in a new guy. Which was the first red flag (I honestly wish I would had payed attention too). She also informed me that he was a very great guy and did good work. Since I had already good expierences with that place I decided to go along with it. During the tattoo is when I noticed red flag number 2, The stenicle was perfect and the placing was right where I wanted it. Half way through the tattoo I noticed the guy stop after tattooing one of the many lines from my tattoo and just stare at it for a bit and then he continued to tattoo. I found that a bit concerning but since he continued I thought nothing much of it. Red flag number 3 happened when I realized how fast he was tattooing me. It seemed way to fast for the amount of lines he had to tattoo. Finally, after the tattoo was over. I looked at it and from far away it looked completely fine. The real problem happened after I arrived home and had a closer look at my tattoo. Granted the tattoo is a hard type of a tattoo since it basically consists of straight lines and circles but, yet again, i did not expect him to finish so quickly. I found one of the triangles from the design to be completely messed up honestly. It looks like a child had grabbed the tattoo machine and just decided to draw a triangle on my outter thigh. I am so disappointed that this had to happen, especially since I had good feelings for, and trusted this place. Not to mention that they raised the price on me after the tattoo was completed (which I found complete BS for the type of work that was done) Thankfully, I had planned to elaborate on this tattoo and I will be doing so while also getting the triangle fixed at the same time. But this time I will be going somewhere else to get the work done. This place is not bad, but I highly and strongly suggest you get to know your tattoo artist and dont ignore any red flags like I did just because you know the place.

My sister got her tongue pierced here a few years back and had such a positive experience. I got my tongue pierced a couple months ago but wasnt as lucky. Any professional piercist would have told me if they were uncomfortable with piercing me, but she didnt. Instead, she struggled quite a bit with finding the right place to pierce my tongue, considering it is rather small, but decided to go through with the piercing anyways. Immediately after the piercing, the left side of my face felt numb and I almost fainted. The piercing was slanted to the left and never healed right. Also, the left part of my tongue developed a hard numb spot that still isnt gone to this day. Im pretty sure she hit a nerve in my tongue. After almost 3 weeks I went back into the shop. The lady told me to take it out and luckily she repierced it for free. She did make me feel as if the crooked piercing was my fault, which is very unprofessional to do. I did not force her to pierce it and did not pull my tongue back in my mouth. She wasnt very clear on the cleaning solutions either, and stated the opposite of what the cleaning pamphlet said that she gave me. She also touched quite a few cabinets and other objects after putting her gloves on to pierce me.. Not very professional, will not go here again.

Im rating 5 because Im not a dick like some people and I understand that people need to eat and sometimes people misscommunicate with one another. I called last minute for a cover up that nobody else had ideas for. They were ready right away. Sure, I had to wait till the artist (Nick) finished his lunch but heres the thing...Dont go get tatted in a hurry, come with enough money plus extra and then a little more for a tip. I payed for 2 cover ups and we only had time to finish 1 of them because we were there till 1:30am. Yes, they stayed late to finish the peice (Much appreciated). We scheduled for the next day and upon arrival, I found out Nick was in jail. Did I get mad??? No. Did I go to another studio??? Nope! I said ok and rescheduled for the following day. Bottom line is...no company is perfect and every artist is different. Dont take away food from someones mouth because ur impatient or because ur expectations are unrealistic. My work looks great, the staff was social, and I like their taste in music. Crimson, I shall see you today! -Nick LaPlant

my fiancé and I went to get tattoos done. mine was in memory of my great grandmother, so its very important its perfect. the overall experience was good, they were talkative. they cleaned the chair before and after use and used a clean needle. after everything was done. they wrapped us up and sent us on our way, not even telling us how to clean or take care of our new tats. I had to look it up online. and then after they were all healed the lines on my tattoo were wiggly and in one spot he (dave) veered off the temp line then redid it. my fiancé got the misfits scull, I dont know how they did it but, after healing his tattoo looked like a 1 toothed hobo. the price is low but you get what you pat for and with tattoos spend more for a better tat, itll be on your body forever, right?

Pretty excellent make sure you know what you want so youll be happy with it!........ after posting 5 star review came back and owner refused to replace under-sized jewelry (it was swollen and is protocol to get oversized jewelry to compensate). She went on to expect praise for referring to BJP to get the correct size. It was kind of funny, she may be bipolar, she seemed so joyful the first time *part of the frustrating part was the piercings cost a small amount and figured it fair to replace when the procedure that costs $160 plus tax was a bulk of the cost which was below standard). They have a pretty cool staff all in all

I have had all of my piecing done here and will not go anywhere else. Raven is the cats meow when it comes to piercing. Very professional and knowledgeable. I started with a cartilage piercing. Then after that I went for the nips. And from there I did my lobes. Raven talked me through everything that I did ..from the actual piercing to aftercare. Props for all the super awesome jewelry pricing and the selection as well. .Go here....plus they have awsome music playing all the time...YAY!!
