While the majority of reviews are positive, there have been a few negative experiences reported. One customer reported that they had multiple piercings done by Lexie, but three out of four rejected.

Great Service Friendly Staff Clean Environment Highly Recommended

Lexi was AMAZING. This was my first time getting cartilage piercings and had never been in a tattoo parlor before….such an amazing environment. She was so kind, soft spoken, and so incredibly respectful and understanding. The environment itself was just adorable; very cute and bright and didn’t smell; total opposite of what first comes to mind with β€œtattoo parlor”. Highly recommend Lexie <3

calming presence positive experience thoughtful flattering placement symmetrical great space comfy

Ideal, especially for someone who ordinarily is a little anxious around piercing needles. Lexie was such a calming presence and made me feel at ease for the duration of our appointment. She spent extra time and care to be certain that my piercing placement was flattering and symmetrical. I can't imagine going to anyone else for such a positive and thoughtful experience. Also a great and comfy space!

the tattoo artists are very welcoming and kind! they even have chilled beverages and snacks incase you were running too late to get some breakfast in! the tattoo i got was my very first face tattoo and made me feel very safe and comfortable. I had forgot to bring face wash and my artist (Kay) even had some waiting for me! they truly went above and beyond for me. i also had a very wholesome conversation with the owner and he was very kind! i love this shop, especially because i just moved here not long ago. i can say that i will be back for my artistic needs. thank you La Vida!

Detail Oriented Precise Work Comfortable Warm and Welcoming

This shop is now the only one I plan to ever go to for my piercing needs. The piercer, Lexie, is very detail oriented and precise about her work and will not let you leave unsatisfied. She takes time to answer any questions you may have and always makes sure you are comfortable before proceeding. The overall vibe of the shop is unlike any other tattoo/piercing place I've ever been to; very warm and welcoming. If you are looking into getting a piercing done I HIGHLY recommend going to see Lexie at La Vida Ink!

Painless Piercing Friendly Service Cute Space Highly Recommended

Lexie pierced my septum a few weeks ago. She’s so sweet and helped me feel really comfortable. The piercing was practically painless for me, and her space is so cute! 10/10 would recommend to everybody. I’ll definitely be going to her in the future.

I worked with Kay, and it was genuinely an amazing session! The studio was very open and comfortable. Kay was friendly as can be, and very gentle during the tattooing process. I highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to get a stick and poke!

awesome piercer incredible tattoo artist knowledgeable highly recommend beautiful artwork fun to talk to super talented

Lexi is an awesome piercer and Dakoda is an incredible tattoo artist! Lexie has done my septum twice now, she’s always super sweet, knowledgeable, walks me thru the service and aftercare. Highly recommend.
Dakoda is the best! I was just in a few days ago and I love my tattoo. She is very light handed, beautiful artwork, fun to talk too, always kept checking in on me.
I highly recommend both of these incredible and super talented women. 100000/10

Great Service Skilled Piercer Comforting Atmosphere Good Value

I LOVED Lexie! Very nice and chill. I had my septum pierced before but it was in the wrong spot so I was a little nervous going in to pierce it again but Lexie made me feel comfortable and the vibes were just immaculate lol. She guided me through all the steps and made sure to see how I was feeling and if I needed anything, especially since I have a little anxiety towards needles. Her piercing was fast and kinda felt like a shot so not that bad for a septum AND she did it with her own skills rather than tools to help and that’s AMAZING! And she also gave me a goodie bag!! If you’re thinking of going somewhere definitely go to her or La vida ink in general!

Talented Artists Clean and Detail Oriented Professional Personable Beautiful Forever-Art

I’ve had the pleasure of receiving two tattoos by Kay so far, and can say with absolute confidence and hopeful excitement, that I’ll be back!

From the beginning with design intake all the way to aftercare; Kay is personable and professional, clean and detail oriented, welcoming and so talented!

The entire studio space is a colorful delight full of art you can stare at while getting stabbed.

I look forward to many more tatts from Kay and from the other talented artists residing there.

Thank you so much for making such beautiful forever-art on my body :)))

Poor Piercing Technique Unprofessional Behavior

Had 4 piercings done by lexie and 3 out of 4 rejected. I have 9 piercings total and none have given me issues till i went to her. I kept giving the benefit of the doubt but then when i ask about a repierce she tells me no and that she wont pierce me anymore. Get more experienced piercers so no one wastes their money on someone who isnt able to pierce properly. If she had actually just told me no they dont repierce at a discount or free then i would have had no problem. But no. Thats not what happened.
