Freedom Tattoo and Piercing

This review is long overdue, but I received my first tattoo by the mighty Nolan Hatton 2 years ago, and I'm still head over heels in love with it. I still receive compliments to this day about my piece! He does such an exceptional job and is the nicest person to work with. He made sure to incorporate all my ideas and also threw in his own personal touch to the piece and it turned out exactly how I pictured it would. I will be returning very soon to extend my artwork! Love you guys!!

Although everyone was very nice and my piercer walked me through everything, I'm giving them a 2 star. They pierced my nose with a 16g needle and put in a 18g size stud. It constantly feel out to the point where I had to put a bigger size stud in. When I called to confront them they claimed i was just trying to gauge my nose. I went in a little while after to talk in person and the said "we pierce with 16g and and put a 18g in". I then went back home did some research and calling around on multiple other places which said that they're supposed to pierce with the same size needle to stud. They made it seem like I did not know what I was talking about when I explain it. I will now know to not go here and when going to other piercing place to make sure that they are going to pierce me with the same needle to stud. Make sure you know that they're going to put a smaller stud in your nose hole when you go here to get it done.

Edit: I clearly stated in my review that I did do my research. All the places I had called were shocked of what I had to say. Explain how it makes sense to make a bigger hole and put a smaller stud in. That just does not make any sense. I also didnt throw any hate your way. Just clearly stated what you guys did wrong.

Dude they are awesome...we went to get my daughters nose pierced, she had made an appt to some other shop but due to traffic, we were running late and they wouldn't be able to take her today. We'll we live over 2 hours away, (with tons of traffic) well I start googling piercing shops. I find this freedom tat/piercing. Shop, I call, they take walk ins!!! Whop whop! The piercier (forgot his name) was amazing and quick and clean and the area was clean, he pierced fast, etc. The only downfall, the whole t&>,is opened. You can see everyone watching you and you can see them. Call me old fashioned but, I like privacy. I hope they fix that

Had 2 tats done when they were in Watsonville by Cruz. Work is beautiful. Great experience. All the artists are fabulous. Looking forward to booking in Aptos now that they are open.

Lily is super talented, the place is really clean, and the service was awesome.

Five stars all the way for not just the quality of the finished product but the overall experience. Professional environment with all the bases covered and great artists who listen to your ideas and make them come to life. Owner is a local guy. Support this biz!
