Helpful Staff Clean Store Painless Piercing Recommendation

Been in twice now, once for jewelry change and once for a piercing, and I have nothing but positive things to say. Staff is helpful and friendly, store is clean, and I left entirely happy both times.
I got my daith pierced by Ronnie and it was the most painless and easy piercing process I have ever been through (I have 11 other piercings, so this is saying something). I would definitely recommend a stop here for your next piercing.

professional friendly clean reasonable prices

Incredibly professional! I've accompanied a few friends to get piercings and the people there were incredibly friendly and helpful! All the equipment were sterile and very clean. They absolutely knew what they were doing (obviously) and the prices were reasonable.

Professional Relaxed Courteous Clean Lines

I’m from out of town and have tattoos. The shop is professional, relaxed, courteous. Niko did a lovely fine line upper forearm tattoo of a Vegvísir. Clean lines, relaxed artist. I’m very happy with his work.
Thank you Niko and Traditional Tattoo!

Great Experience Amazing Piercer Comfortable Quick Response Recommend

feels weird writing an online review, but I had such a great experience I had to do so. Matt is an amazing piercer and made the experience as comfortable as possible, plus he's great about getting back to text messages quickly and thoroughly. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get a piercing!

Great experience Professional Knowledgeable Highly recommend

Great experience...this is all I have to say! I have seen Matt's videos on Youtube and I was impressed by his work and professionalism. When, first went into the shop, I was greeted and met Matt! Matt was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made the process of getting my septum and helix piercings seamless!!! I am going back again for a tattoo at some point. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a professional piercing and tattoos! Continue the great work!

Great Piercers Excellent Service Relaxing Atmosphere

I will only come here for my piercings from now on. I've had piercings done in different shops, none of them compare to the piercers at Traditional Tattoo. The process is so smooth, and they make you feel relaxed and at ease. Matt is very helpful when it comes to aftercare.

Great Staff Skilled Artists Variety of Styles Quick and Skilled Piercings

Traditional Tattoo is the best shop around!! All the staff are friendly, knowledgable and very skilled. Ive been getting art from Brian for awhile; hes super talented, personable, badass and a great guy! The artists have different styles so the shop can get a variety of clients. Matt has done some of my piercings; hes quick, skilled and I hardly felt even my piercings that had to go through scar tissue. Traditional Tattoo is the greatest tattoo shop ever!!
