Got my first tattoo there last night. I chose the place because it is clean and professional. Barbie is an amazing artist who helped me design the perfect, custom tattoo. Then in less than an hour she created a gorgeous work of art, using 7 colors, on my shoulder. She is friendly, professional, and extremely talented. I highly recommend Out on a Whim!

the environment and everything is great they just do not have the right jewelry for piercings for example a tragus they have an L shape nose ring for your tragus and for your conch they have a hoop when you are supposed to start with a stud. they also told me to use contact solution to clean because it was basically the same as saline wound wash no hate to the company or the people working there just need to better get better products so there are more happy customers!

Justin and Barbie are the only two people who I have let tattoo me and I'm sticking with them because their work is amazing! They super friendly and are willing to work with you and your tattoo design. I'm kinda picky and they didn't get annoyed with me when I asked them to change my design they understand that it's your tattoo and you're going to have it forever and they want you to love it. I've gotten 3 so far and I'm always getting compliments on their work and recommending them to people!

The best place to go for a first-timer. My wife felt safe and Lo was awesome. He got the artwork my wife wanted right down to the color and lines.

Went in the shop to check it out a few months ago, the guys were super nice. Took me a while to decide what I wanted. I went back three weeks ago to set up my tattoo. They said they would text me in a day or two of my tattoo they were going to draw up. I was excited but, they never called or texted.

Kenny always took great care of me for my belly-button piercing needs. He was always very kind, encouraging and fun. I would go back to him for piercing to this day even though I moved out of the area after graduation. I would recommend him to anyone for piercings.

Justin did a amazing job. My tattoo was custom. I had a few different pictures and details from each picture that I wanted combined to make the tattoo that i wanted. Within a very short time of showing Justin what I wanted to do and how all the pictures put together would look he drew up the tattoo and it looked great. Justin is a very professional tattooist very clean environment in the shop. The new look inside the shop is amazing. Total remodel from the way the shop used to look. Very open and welcoming spacious and organized. Thanks for a great tattoo Justin. I would recommend this shop to my friends definitely will be returning here for my next tattoo.

Stopped by on Tuesday to get my Septum pierced and Samuel was awesome!!! I’ve had it done once before, at a separate location a couple years back and it was crooked, but this one was placed perfectly! I will be sure to be back for more piercings and hopefully a touch up on my tattoo too! :)

They will take advantage of young people and over charge for tattoos. I got two finger tats and they charged me $170 and neglected to tell me their minimum is $65 a tattoo. If I knew this I wouldn’t have gone. Also had a artist who didn’t communicate he couldn’t do the tattoos I wanted and they are messed up and look like stick and pokes

Chucks did an amazing job on my first tattoo back in the spring! Such a friendly and comfortable environment, didn’t once feel anxious. Can’t wait to come back for my next 🤩
