They did a Wonderful job doing my tattoo! The service was very nice, communicated in the process. Helped me feel comfortable if I needed a break! The place was filled with art masterpieces and some of the artists pieces and well. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. I also absolutely loved that they took walk ins.

The artist was very willing and accommodating, while at the same time, professional and clear. I genuinely owe him my thanks and gratitude for working with me and being the artist I needed for the work I needed done today! Great job! and Great Atmosphere. The work was taken very seriously but not "too" seriously if you know what I mean. Thank you!

stormy is one of my favorite people to go to for piercings. she did a great job on my navel, made sure it was straight and in the right place for my body, and had a huge selection of jewelry. i went to her today for help picking out new jewelry for my septum and nostril piercings (not done by her) and she was so helpful with also putting IN that jewelry and the prices for jewelry are very affordable. i love this shop and will continue to go here for more piercings/tattoos :)

Looking for a new tattoo and want someone funny, energetic and personable? Logan has been a great artist at this shop! I have gotten several tattoos by logan and he continues to exceed my expectations. His skills range and he can adapt to a lot of different styles. He works with you to find the most reasonable price for what you are looking for including sizing and placement. He's honest but extremely kind.

Stormy is so awesome. She helped us get earrings that were stuck off my daughter's ears and she also pierced my baby's ears. We love out on a whim. Everyone is friendly, professional and it's sanitary as you would expect!

The new management really turned this place around. The inside of the shop is always clean and looks so nice, it also has a lot of wall decorations and artwork to look at. The staff is absolutely amazing. I got some piercings from here and the employee who helped me was very professional and very helpful. My piercings have healed and look amazing, this is the only place in town I will go to for piercings or to buy piercing jewellery. Their wide variety of piercings makes this the best place to go to. The prices are also very fair. I have never gotten tattoo work from here but all tattoo work I have seen from here is really well done. I highly recommend this place, I love them so much.

so I have been trying to decide what i want to say for my review for the last week, and i have thought about it more and I am happy with my nose piercing, but was not happy with the piercing experience. i totally understand that mistakes happen, and i tried to have a good attitude about it, but i was not provided any compensation for the “oopsie” that was made. I am afraid that my piercing is not going to heal well due to both the trauma it experienced while piercing and the jewelry it was pierced with since they only had hoops. i have 9 other piercings and I can honestly say it was the worst and most painful one yet due to the mistake that was made. I gave three stars because the guy was nice and he did a good job on my friends piercings, but my experience was less than stellar.

Barbie was amazing. She did a tattoo for my friend and I. We both came in knowing what we wanted but not where we wanted it. Barbie was super patient in hearing all of our ideas. She left the choice up to us but gave us tips on what would like best. She is knowledge and knows what she is talking about. Loved the atmosphere of the shop and my tattoo. I would come back in a heartbeat.
