The studio offers a range of services including tattoos, body piercings, and ear piercings. The studio has a team of professional and knowledgeable staff who are always willing to help their clients. They have a wide range of beautiful jewelry options to choose from.
The studio has received mixed reviews from customers. Some customers have had a positive experience with the studio, praising the staff for their professionalism and the cleanliness of the studio. One customer said, "Sarah did an amazing job! She was very professional and my piercings only took 5 minutes or so. Will be going back again soon to get some more piercings and maybe tattoos!"
However, some customers have had negative experiences with the studio. One customer complained about the piercing process, saying, "Jamie Rio did my septum piercing two days ago. She did not use clamps, a countdown, or otherwise warn me before piercing me. Septum piercings aren't supposed to hurt the way mine did, and I knew it. It was a solid 7/10 on pain."
The studio's prices are on the higher side, with a piercing costing $25 and the cheapest threadless stud costing $20. The studio urges customers to make an appointment online, which is highly convenient. However, some customers have complained about the studio's misleading information regarding COVID-19 protocols. One customer said, "The website urges you to make an appointment online and tells you that you need to wear a mask and provide a vaccine card upon entering. When I arrived, no one was wearing masks and no one asked to see my card, which was fine, just misleading."
Overall, Evil by the Needle Custom Tattoo and Piercing Studio is a good option for those looking for tattoos and piercings. However, customers should be aware of the mixed reviews and the higher prices.

Clean nice shop, but awful customer service. I came here for a tattoo in December and they were empty, yet still seemed to have no interest in tattooing me, but finally said “I guess he can do it for you”. I came back for a nose piercing, and once again they were rude and pierced my nose with a hoop that was extremely to big. I couldn’t stand it and went to another parlor in town and they said it was pierced in the crease of my nose which is a big no no, and it could have been done with a smaller hoop. Happy with my results from the other parlor, but I do no recommend this shop for piercings!

Walked up and saw sign " no walk in's appointments only"; so stood there and called number on sign but the voice message stated "do not leave message". Very odd and I was disappointed. Not sure what think.

Got tired of being treated badly by Jamie. I had two piercings here and walked out before she had chance to touch my children. I wouldn't blame this on a bad day as she treats people badly everytime I've been here. Went to Amber at Crimson Breed instead who treated me with tons of kindness and helped me research my piercings before I got them and decided.

The staff here are so good! I’m new to piercings and didn’t know you’re supposed to eat before getting one, so naturally I almost passed out after getting it. Lol my piercer took every precaution to make sure I was okay in the end! She got me water, a trash can, walked me to the couch to sit, and even gave me a starburst!! 😋 then she taught me that I’m supposed to eat before getting a piercing. Won’t make that mistake again!! I would definitely return here.

Great people. Clean work stations!! Jamie is professional and has a gift of calming you down before a piercing. Highly recommend them!

I have been going to evil by the needle for years now, I have been impressed by every service I've had done there. I had my nose pierced years ago and will be going back soon to get it re-pierced. The main lady who pierces there is amazing! I picked out some new beautiful opals for my ear and she helped me take out my existing ones and get the new ones in, no questions asked. Thank you!

I got a third lobe piercing and my rook done by Sarah. She is very friendly and tailored my piercings towards my individual anatomy. Overall great experience!

I received my first tattoo at this shop and was satisfied with the tattoo itself, but was not happy with how I was treated by the artist. He basically told me that he wouldn’t do my tattoo if it was too “girly.” This was shocking to me since I was a paying customer. Then a couple years later, I went in to get spider bites. The woman was nice and told me what I needed to do afterward, but didn’t ask me if I was allergic to anything. I ended up going home with the spider bites but my lip was super swollen because of my allergy to the nickel in the post and when I went to another shop to check it out, was told that the piercer hit a capillary in my lip. I’ve read other reviews from people and the piercer claims that she is the “best in Bloomington?” Funny. I feel if she was the best she’d know to ask if her customers are allergic to anything and wouldn’t mess up a person’s lip. My advice, go to Genuine or Crimson Breed.

See Jon! Did great job on cover up of ex girlfriends name! And was great on price! I usually don't do reviews unless it's to talk sh*# but making an exception for this. Would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!
