Above & Beyond Tattoo Studio

I had called many piercing places in town and none even heard of a high nostril piercing. I walked in to above and beyond they knew immediately what I was talking about. I got pierced on both sides of my nose within five minutes, no issues whatsoever. Absolutely recommend going here for all your piercing needs.

I tried to go in with my father (I'm 17) and the apprentice looks at me and says I'm not allowed to get a piercing without my birth certificate. After I tell her that I didn't need it the month before or for any of the other 6 piercings I have, she informed me that the law has changed. Their shop was overly cluttered, and I wish they would teach their apprentices more about their policies before letting them have free reign. I proceeded to go down the street to another shop where they allowed me to get my piercing with my dad and no birth certificate on hand.

They were very friendly. Took the time to get it perfect. Aric did an excellent job taking care of my mom and I. He took the time to draw it out before hand knowing I was coming out of town. Had a fun relaxing time and will be back.

My nose piercing went perfectly however my bellybutton piercing not so much, the bar on the piercing is way to short and the ball is now sinking in to the skin and im not really sure what to do since I don't want to take it out and pay for a whole new one but I don't want an infection. I might just have to get it done somewhere else which sucks because I really like above and beyond

Worst tat ever by Alicia. I asked for a bracelet tattoo with a violin pendant. She completely messed it up. The tattoo was poorly put on and she did not outline it properly. She added far too much shadowing which was messy and missing in places. There are many places where there is no ink whatsoever because she did not fill in properly. How hard is it to fill in color on round beads? I asked for Reflections on the beads and she messed that up as well by leaving little blobs of white here and there with no consistency. The tattoo is crooked going around my wrist and is too close to my hand. It hurt worse than any tattoo I've had and I certainly would not recommend going back to her. She kept telling me that's what touch-ups are for but I'm not giving her a chance to touch it up. Brand-new tattoos should not have to be touched up! I'm having a gentleman in Centerville, Iowa try to repair her disastrous mess. I had an appt with Alicia and drove 2 hours to the shop. She screwed around for 2 hours before I ever got in the chair. Then it was another two and a half hours for her to give me this horrendous tattoo and then a 2 hour drive home. And yes, I tipped her well because she kept assuring me that it would be fine when I knew that it really wasn't fine at all. Neither Alicia nor the owner of the shop has responded to my Facebook messages or photographs to apologize. Very unprofessional.

Alicia is amazing! I feel comfortable with her, but the others are great too, just never worked with any of them yet. The place is super clean and the atmosphere is welcoming.

I came in with my best friend who got her nipples and septum done. My friend passed out and Alicia was super nice and understanding. plus the piercings turned out great.

My boyfriend came here to get his first tattoo and his tattoo artists name was, Aric. He was clearly on drugs and not all there. His appointment was set at 6, he took 20 minutes to sit in the back and "set up" his area, he came back out and told us he needed a cigarette and that the cleaner has to sit for ten minutes. He took about 15 minutes to smoke his cigarette and continued to sit outside and talk. He came back in and told us that he was going to wipe the area down and that it would take another ten minutes. Then he remembered he needed to get him some fonts so he did that. My boyfriend picked one in about three minutes and he took about ten more minutes to do that and answer the phone. He again, took twenty minutes to do whatever he was doing and he didn't even get to tattooing my boyfriend's small tattoo until 7:15. He took about fifteen minutes to talk about his life and started tattooing my boyfriend. He had a heavy hand and took a twenty minute bathroom break in between doing a small name on his forearm. Halfway through it was already 7:45. He didn't finish his tattoo until 8:30. He did a mediocre job for a high price. For someone getting their first tattoo, I would definitely not recommend coming here. Unless you like to be treated like you're not welcome and want a mediocre tattoo. It should have not taken him the amount of time it did to set everything up. It was lazy, unorganized, and ignorant. I have been to other tattoo shops myself, and this has never happened to me. Other tattoo shops have taken me as a walk in and had me in and out within the time we waited, while it was super busy. I was very disapointed with the outcome, the service, quality and wait time. Definitely will not be coming back.

They have amazing prices on piercings and tattoos. I would recommend anyone going here!

Alicia has done 6 of my tattoos, one of which was a cover up. She is very good at her work and takes her time. The place is super clean and very welcoming!!!
