I got a tattoo done at Pelican recently by Rick. I wasn't happy with the service or results. I liked his concept of what I wanted to get done, but his follow-through was off. He talked a really good game, and gave me a drawing I liked. He pretty much FAILED at everything else.
The application of the tattoo was a a nightmare. He told me I had "deep skin" and practically stabbed me with the needle. When I told him his needle pressure was too intense, he seemed to pick a sore spot and continue to dig deep, making it more uncomfortable/painful for me. The tattoo came out so/so. Some of the lines were sloppily drawn and it didn't include minute details I had expected, not to mention paid for. When I confronted him about it, both he and the manager got extra defensive and accused me of haggling. By then, I was just so fed up and embarrased that I spent my hard earned dollars, only to get a mediocre tatt.
At best, the Pelican crew is just barely keeping their heads above water and trying to make a few bucks tattooing and piercing. At worst, they are sadistic, talentless scumbags who might be better off illustrating bad comics. There is a reason there are no recent reviews for Pelican, because I can guarantee they'd be AWFUL but TRUE. BEWARE, think twice before you give these guys your service!!
Fantastic Fantastic

I don’t have experience but these prices are too high, i asked for the price of a nose ring and they said it’s $50! I could get my nose done for $10 somewhere else and they might do it 2x better.

Very terrible customer service. I called to inquire about their services and they left me on hold for over 15 minutes and never came back to the phone. It was simple questions I wanted answered before I came in but all you could here is everyone talking in the background with not a care to answer my damn questions. But hey....I shouldn’t have expected more considering where this business is located.
