New Breed Tattoo

*Review of Artist Blake Fales*
I had an excellent tattoo experience with Blake! He took my notes and created a beautiful design to cover my old tattoo. He also worked with me to do a consultation, a confirmation of the design, and sessions at a comfortable pace to fully do the design. Blake was easy to talk to and answered all my questions about the tattooing process. He was also quick to respond to questions/concerns to make sure I was confident about the healing process! The amount of detail and care he put into my tattoo was incredible and only made me feel more and more confident about my design. From talking to him about his art and other tattoos he’s done, it’s clear that Blake has an immense amount pride in his work. He’s very talented and I highly recommend Blake!

Love this place! Impulsively went for a walk-in tattoo and my artist (I think his name was Tim) was super nice and helpful! He immediately drew out different sizes and put prices next to each size so I knew right off the bat how much it would cost! It turned out great, highly recommend.

I went there today as a recommendation and I’ve had many piercings done before including both nostrils so I knew what to expect from the piercer. I wanted to get a Medusa piercing and he hardly informed me on what to do for aftercare and i mostly had to ask him the questions myself. I asked him if he was able to do it in one shot and it would be quick and he said yes. Unfortunately it was the complete opposite. The first bad thing I noticed was when he was just marking the location of the piercing. His hands were super shaky and I was worried about it but didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to seem rude. When he went to actually pierce through my lip he struggled and his hands were shaking as he was struggling to get the needle through my lip. He wasn’t able to get the jewelry through the first time and he even attempted a second time and he could not get anything through. He then decided to tell me at the very end that he normally doesn’t do these types of precise piercings that he normally does more traditional ones. He told me he has only done Medusa piercings a couple times and it sounded more like he was making excuses and like he wasn’t very sorry for wasting my time and mangling my mouth. Now I will have to experience everything that comes with a Medusa piercing such as the swelling, the pain, watching what I eat and drink, and the aftercare without actually having the piercing, I just have a whole through my lip. He also informed me that I should come back in a couple weeks after reaching out the the other piercer and that he would reduce the price. Even if the price was reduced I will not be going back. It took a long time for me to build up the courage for this piercing and now I will have to wait even longer (if I do still feel like getting it). Overall I would recommend going somewhere else for a piercing.

I got my industrial pierced yesterday and when I went in everyone seemed distracted by their phones or games they were playing on their phones. When the guy that actually pierced my ear sat down and was marking the spots on my ear, his hands were so shaky that when he put his hands against my head my head was shaking.
The piercers name was Tyler. He seemed to do a good job piercing it but I’ve also never had my industrial pierced before. It seems a little to close to the edge of my skin so if there is a chance it gets infected my piercing will definitely reject. His hands were shaky during the entire process and he had to line up the needle multiple times due to this. The person who went with me noticed that the other piercers hands were also shaking but I’m not sure what their name was. If you are looking to get piercings done, I wouldn’t recommend going here unless you know the person piercing them and they did a good job in the past. Anyone with no previous experience with new breed, I recommend going somewhere else and making sure their hands aren’t shaky.
Their piercers did not used to be like this. I’m not sure what has happened since I went a couple years ago but they don’t have good piercers now.

Words cannot express how disappointing my experience was.

The employees at the reception area were very unwelcoming, distracted, and short. That was to be expected, I know that hospitality isn't a focus in places like this and I get it. The real issue came with the piercer, Tyler. It was clear he was nervous and/or unsure about the placement, his hands were shaking something awful, and to top it all off, he made an error while piercing and only offered a meek apology. He left blood on and inside my nose despite taking longer to 'clean me up'. Browsing reviews, I can see that he has made several errors like this with other clients as well.

It is wholly irresponsible and downright dangerous for New Breed to endorse a piercer who can't follow simple hygiene rules and be attentive enough to work with precision. If you are considering getting pierced here, please request a different person and if there are no other piercers, PLEASE consider going somewhere else. The last piercing I got from him ended in infection and ultimately rejection. New Breed: Please address this. You cannot in good faith allow someone who is clearly unqualified to continue handling such serious body mods.

Sincerely,

Luna

Wanted $250 for 3 small finger tattoos. This was on 1/2 off walk in tattoos day as well. So would have been paying $500 for finger tattoos “originally”. Just go to Sacred Apple. They do a fantastic job and won’t charge you hundreds for tiny tattoos.

The place is pretty nice and clean.
The staff were very nice. They try to help out whenever they can. I had so many questions and he was answering them really patently and nicely. Me and my friend got a tattoo, she got a writing on her hand for $120 and I did a heart kind of shape (with an arrow and a “;”) on my ankle which was $80. Since this was our first tattoos, it was a great experience because he did it very professionally. But since it’s our first I’m not sure how to pricing is compared to other places, however, I think it’s pretty good since all the touch ups and foiling is in the price.
I recommend this place overall.

Piercer was very calm and professional with my daughter. Plus the inside is breathtaking! So beautiful inside.

Can I give 10 stars? The staff at New Breed and shop both get 10 stars... The crew is great... The shop is very clean and "professional. My daughter just turned 18 on st Patty's day so what did she want to do??... Get first tattoo so of course I had to get a new tat.
Tim was great, patient and very professional! His work was awesome!!

Justin the piercer- 10/10, extremely professional and made me very comfortable during the process, easiest piercing healing I’ve ever had, very personable.
The rest of the staff was very friendly and created a chill environment while waiting
