I definitely recommend Darkside. I got a simple nose piercing here, and I absolutely love it. Melinda is a great piercer, she made me feel very comfortable through the whole process and was very clean. There was a curtained area for my piercing as well. She was supportive about my decisions and made it as easy as possible. She also gave me chocolate LOL! I will be coming back!

Dan is fantastic! He updated an old tattoo, and it is stunning! He has a very delicate touch and his line work is phenomenal.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to refurbish or get a new tattoo.

This was my first tattoo, from the warm reception to the incredibly clean work place, Darkside Tatoo is the place to go. Sean took so much time to make sure mine was right and just what I wanted. He then gave me the most amazing tattoo ,this guy is the real deal . He is truly a gifted artist .Watching his staff and family work they are all professional and friendly . I'm very impressed with this business .Bravo!

I went to the Darkside a few weeks ago to get my first tattoo, and I was very happy with my experience! Cole was my tattoo artist, and he drew my tattoo to a T, exactly how I wanted. He's very talented and fun to talk to. He was also very patient and careful considering I was getting my first tattoo (calligraphy) on my ribs. I was very comfortable in the shop, which was a big thing for me when looking for a place to get inked. I highly suggest Cole and the Darkside!

For my first tattoo I went here and had a great experience from the moment I walked in. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I didn't have an appointment but I brought in references photos for the idea I had and Dan was able to take my idea and turn it into reality. It's been about 3 weeks now and after carefully trying to heal the area it looks great. I would recommend this place especially if it's your first time getting a tattoo.

My friend and I got our belly buttons pierced here. The piercer pierced them very deep and did not give us long enough bars. The jewelry was digging into our skin making the wound much larger, red, and infected. Both of us had to go to a different place to get new, higher quality jelewry with a longer bar. We were also both told that the aftercare instructions that darkside gave us wasn’t enough and was probably adding to the irritation.

My wife got tattooed by Marissa and what an amazing artist is she!.. Impeccable line work. She could have been a little more personable, but wasn't rude . My wife and I were very pleased with the tatoo.
As for the cons:
Final price of tatoo was a little steep for what it was. The tatoo was of 2 names one on top of the other , all together 8 letters about 1/2 inch tall with a very small heart. Total came to $160.00 (including a $15.00 tip). Shop charges $125.00 an hour for work and Marissa seemed to dawdle at times. It took her 40 minutes just to do the simple stencil.
Bottom line:
You get what you pay for.. If your looking for top quality art be willing to pay top quality dollar..

Both my husband and myself have gotten our tattoos at Darkside. Dan was our artist and he did an amazing job. He was able to create my tattoo by hand and I love it! The parlor is extremely clean.
