Ink Spot Tattoo - Altamonte Springs

This place is great. I got an ear piercing yesterday and everything was very professional and clean. The piercer is so nice, he explains everything and makes sure to get your opinion on everything. I love my love piercings, would definitely come back.

If you’re under 16, make sure to bring the notarized form by the state and your parent who’s name should be on the form, it should be notarized same day as the piercing.

I went in to get my belly piercing changed the person was really nice and the price was good would definitely go back for another piercing

They wanted to charge me $500 to do a one square inch tattoo of a pig. And their work is absolutely disgusting. The tattoo was literally an emoji symbol no more than one square inch and they wanted $500 this place is a joke

This was my first tattoo ever, Lauren was really great. She made the progress really easy and smooth.

Love this shop and artist. Miss working here with awesome ppl and meeting nee awesome and loyal customers of mine!! I'm at the Seminole town center mall ink spot tattoo location. Down stairs next door to Spencer's gift shop. Come by and say hi or let's do work!! Look forward to seeing Familiar faces and new faces while managing ink spot Sanford!!!!

So this is a piercing review only. No idea about the tattoo side of it.
But a friend and I wanted to get a couple of piercings while she was in town. She wanted top of her ear and her nose and I wanted to re pierce my ears from having them close up years ago. I wanted a shop and not the mall or something cause it’s the second time.
My brother recommended the place since he’s gotten tattoos there. I called in advance and spoke to Tim, his customer service phone skills were mediocre. he quoted me prices and said he’d be there all night.
My friend and I showed up and he told us slightly different prices (only be 5-10 bucks total so whatever.) everything seemed clean enough, I’ve had other piercings years ago and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

My ears didn’t hurt too much he seemed okay doing them, but my right one was pretty swollen, he said to use antibacterial soap, not the bactine I’d used in the past. After a few days of pretty extreme swelling on the right one I finally started using bactine and it went down right away. However once I could clearly see it it’s apparent the piercing isn’t even, the right one is lower by a tiny amount, but the bigger issue is the angle is wrong, it’s pointing down by a noticeable amount. It’s also NOT On top of the original first piercing and I think that’s what’s causing it to take so long to heal. 8 weeks out and I’m still dealing with it. I’m really hoping that once it heals enough to switch these out it will be passable and I can keep the piercings, I can definitely tell though that it’s not right and I’m bummed about it.

And on top of that he did my friends piercing in the top of her ear backwards the first time and had to remove the bar and come back through a second time, painful and lots of bleeding. Her nose was even worse he couldn’t get the jewelry through and it took THREE times, he was clearly shaken up about it and it was pretty traumatic for her. However, two months out and her piercings look much better than mine.

Anyways, I would not recommend having Tim do your piercings. And it’s turned me off to the shop in general. He told someone in the back room there was an issue with our visit and he was giving us a discount ($20… thaaaansk?) but the person (manager? I’m not sure.) didn’t come to check or speak to us at all. Overall very disappointing and fairly traumatic, I would not recommend.

Erica pierced me and my friend and we decided to get a septum piercing. She explained very thoroughly and very sweet. She was gentle and very clean! Thank you very much!

I loved my experience!! The young lady at the front desk was very personable and knowledgeable on both the piercing process and the tattoo process. Kyle was an awesome tattoo artist! Very professional and gave me exactly what I wanted and it came out better than I imagined it would. He was very friendly and kept me laughing throughout the process. Definitely recommend this place. Awesome, chill, and professional staff.

Absolutely DO NOT GO HERE. Worst experience getting a tattoo ever and I didn’t even get one! Had to leave before they even got set up because of a family emergency and already paid in advance....won’t give a refund and it was almost $700. Terrible customer service and management. I live in NY and was here on vacation so I can’t just go and reschedule.

Lauren is an amazing tattoo artist and all around person. She's patient, detailed, and creative. Lauren makes the experience of getting your special tattoo more memorable.
