University Ink Tattoo

This place is really great to go to. It's not that expensive. I got my belly button pierced there yesterday and the piercing process was really fast , they just didn't stick with the 4 o'clock schedule. But other than that it's great .

Alex was great with handling me getting my first tattoo. Lol. Very understanding. And whoever pierced my tounge did an amazing job it healed quickly and hasn’t given me any trouble.

Friendly, clean, and fast. I was a little nervous but when the ppl make you feel comfortable, there’s no need to be! Thanks Noelle you’re awesome 🔥

Emily Rahn is a true artist that just also happens to be an expert with a tattoo gun. Her shading, artistic sensibility, and attention to detail combine to make her one of the best in her field that I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

She's also really nice and has good taste in music. 😊😊

If I could give a lower rating, trust me I would. Went in and got my belly button pierced here, after about a week or so of pain anytime I moved in any sort of way I decided to go to my normal piercer (because University Ink was closed). The top part kept trying to embed in my skin, and I was hoping I could figure out what was wrong, anyways got to Lucky 7 in Monroe (they were absolute god sends in this horror show) and spoke with the woman behind the desk. She asked what I had been cleaning it with while I waited for the piercer, showed her the bottle that University Ink sold me and she was appalled. So much show, we took it to the other workers, and they were equally disgusted. It was pure chemicals, to the point that we couldn't even find everything that was in it. Like there wasn't an ingredients list. Also, I was told from Lucky 7 that I was meant to be taking Tylenol to help with the swelling and that I should have been told that to start with, but university ink didn't tell me anything. Anyways, got to the piercer and was told I needed to take it out ASAP. So she did it for me, and we threw the jewelry away because somehow it was already looking gross? It hasn't even been more than 2 weeks so the woman at Lucky 7 was even concerned for the piece of jewelry used. She told me the piercer pierced me wrong, and then she educated me on how to clean for my now wound. She was also extremely concerned that I might need to go to the hospital for the sheer ignorance of the woman who pierced me. They advised me of how long I should wait before getting it pierced again,and everything of the sort. It's had time to heal and now I've got two scars from the thing. The scars have literally pushed me past the point of anger. I'll never return here, and honestly would advise that no one else does either. Lucky 7 is so much better, and definitely worth the drive. They've done almost all my piercings, and from here on our will continue to be the only ones piercing me.

Clean environment with amazing artist! Whitney has done two of my big pieces. 10/10 would highly recommended. After my 1st visit I knew this was the place for me.

Went to University Ink to get a cartilage (helix) pericing. The employee doing my piercing fiddled with the piercing for about 5-7 mins after puncturing my ear & after that preceded to tell me that the needle “hadn’t gone all the way through”. She then reprieved the same hole, which was very painful, & caused my ear to bleed severely. It also tooo her a significant amount of time to put the ring in my ear. That day i also got two other lobe percibes which went fine until the rings she put in cake out the following day. I bought the saltwater spray to clea my piercings but wasn’t given clear instructions on how to clean the pericing. My cartilage pericing, which i have been cleaning at least 3 times a day had only gotten more irritated & i have now taken the ring out for fear for infection. Poor service but the girl at the front desk was very nice. Would not recommend this place to anyone for a pericing.

We went to Joey for a personalized tattoo. The tattoo is very unique, with tight lines and detail. I HIGHLY recommend University Ink! Very professional, the staff is friendly, fun to be around, and the place is very clean and comfortable.

Cool place. Good artists. Got a tattoo there years ago and it still holds up. Recently went with a friend and they expanded to hold way more artists. Great place for a tattoo.

Fantastic front desk (Laurelai) and awesome talent located within. Leanna is our fave!!!!
University Ink is definitely worth the 4 hour drive!!!
