Elysium Studios

Great people. Their tattoos are great. I'll be back for another tat. However, my 2 ear piercings were not put where I wanted. I enclosed 3 pictures. One of my ear and pictures I showed to the ladies at front desk of where I wanted the piercings located but they were not where I wanted them.

Why only five stars, because Google won't let me give six! Laura does competition quality tattoo's. I had a few tattoo's since October and I hope this place stays the same because I plan on having a lot more done.

I’d give no stars if I could. I’m never going to asg again. I’ve gotten multiple piercings done at unity studio and never had a issue but i went to asg for a industrial piercing and help putting in some jewelry on existing piercings and everything got infected. My whole ear for the industrial is infected and I had to go get heavy antibiotics. Not to mention my existing piercings got super irritated and slightly infected. Clearly they do not sterilize things correctly. Do not go there.

Christina and the entire staff are very welcoming, fun and most importantly, willing to LISTEN. I've been to other artists and, while I respect their Art, Christina was the only one who asked me what I wanted, rather than telling me what she could do for me. In the end, it allowed me to trust Christina to work her magic. She was able to interpret my desires, design a piece that speaks to me on such a deep level and then placed her art on my body. I have another appointment to finish my piece, and honestly can't wait!

From the moment you step in with an idea, through the initial free consultation, and finally from concept to reality, the entire staff works to set you at ease, meets you at your level and, again, LISTENS. Sure, look around, bit in the end you will end up back at A.S.G Ink!

I went here for a small memorial tattoo for my cousin who passed away I did a heart on my wrist. When I tell you some lines are faded, thicker then others, every thing about it is uneven. I’m so upset. I wish I could post a picture I’m not sure how.

However she was SO KIND. They were SO PROFESSIONAL. But the work was really upsetting..

I love this place. The staff is amazing, I love my tattoo, and the piercing side is awesome too. The best place in Valpo for both tattoos and piercings. They are also very community oriented and do a lot for charities.

Very friendly staff. Work well with your schedule. Takes time to find exactly what you want. Offers great after care advice and products. Can usually get you on straight away for piercings...at least most, in my experience. Answers any questions you may have.

I got 2 helix piercings in each ear. The first ear turned out fine. However, the piercings on the second ear are placed much higher and are crooked so they appear to be right next to each other from the front (The piercings make a V through my ear, first 2 pics idk if they uploaded). Now I have to go somewhere else to get another piercing to correct it. I'm so mad, half of this was a waste of money and pain, oh the pain.

I got my tragus pierced here about a month ago and I'm not pleased with it. I got it done and within 4 days the ball fell off because they pierced it with a post that was way too short for the amount of swelling. When I went back in, they gave me a longer post, and the ball fell off of that one within a few days. Valparaiso is about an hour away from my house so it's hard to get up there constantly to get it fixed. Now I have messed up tragus piercing because I had to try to put it in myself. I have gotten about 10 other piercings from other places and have never ever had a ball fall off. Usually I have to go back to the piercer to get the ball taken off because it is on there so tight. Oh... Not to mention while I was there the first time, all they did was talk about how much better they were than every other piercing place in the area. My boyfriend got his daith pierced the same day and was told by several other piercers that it was done incorrectly. We will not be returning and definitely would not recommend.

Posting to hopefully stop someone from wasting their time and money like i did. let me just say that at first i was really happy with my visit. johnny, the piercer who pierced my nose, was incredibly nice and seemed to really know what he was doing. placement was great, as i got my nose double pierced and it looked great! i was so impressed that i brought a friend there about a week later to get her nose pierced. when we arrived we signed in and she paid. there was about 5-6 people ahead of us all waiting to be pierced. we were hungry so we approached the front desk to ask if we would be able to go grab something to eat and if they could call us IF we werent back by the time everyone ahead of us was done. we were only planning on being gone for maybe 20 minutes so this was highly unlikely. the INCREDIBLY RUDE woman (red hair and glasses) who was working the front desk snapped at us saying "cant you see im busy i dont have time to be calling people". so we asked how long she thought the wait would be so we could for sure be back, she cuts us off and says "we dont do appointments and we DONT do refunds so if you leave youre without your money and out of luck". UHM?? theres no need to be snippy and rude when im asking a simple question. we then witnessed this woman checking her facebook, and being rude to other people in the lobby. SOOOOO busy i guess. my friends nose ended up having terrible placement and today i realized that my nose has only been pierced halway for god only knows how long because my hoops had no ball or anything to hold them in place in my nostril. this makes zero sense to me as to why that seemed like a good idea. now im going to have to get repierced. i MOST DEFINITELY will not being returning to ASG, i can tell you that much!!
