Got a tattoo in a tricky place that often doesn’t come out well. These guys were the only ones who were not condescending- assuming I hadn’t done my research and knew what I wanted. They still talked about the possible issues and made sure I knew what might happen (fading/blowing out, etc) but weren’t asses about it. Atmosphere was very welcoming, chill and fun. My guy was super patient and worked on getting the template perfect to make sure it was what I wanted. The tattoo itself is super simple, didn’t come out 110% perfect but I don’t think it would have come out differently if I went to anyone else, it’s just a tough spot and is perfect for me. I’m so in love with it and the experience in and of itself was one of the best I’ve had while getting a tattoo 👍

I brought my step daughter in to get her belly button pierced and the gentleman who did the piercing was so nice and professional. He did an amazing job making her feel comfortable. She is very happy.

I got a piercing here. I didn't have to wait the place was very clean. He made sure to tell me how to clean it and if I had any problems or questions to give him a call. He made my experience very pleasant. Easy to talk to and very professional. I would definitely go back if I get another piercing.

Everyone was nice and easy to talk with. Alex did a memorial tattoo in honor of my brother who recently passed away and it looks great. Thanks Alex

Never coming here again. Came here last night to get my lower belly pierced and he Literally pierced my belly twice because it didn’t work the first time for some reason or whatever.once he was done with the piercing I noticed it’s completely crooked. Now I have to take it out and get it pierced again by someone else. I’m honestly really upset.

I just got my tattoo done by this place and it’s absolutely the best, clean, and great environment you could be in. The detail was great on my arm and they take their time for precision. I would highly recommend this place to someone who appreciates time and effort in their tattoo. Love this place.

Got my nose pierced a few months back and my experience was nothing shy of perfect. Staff was fun and knowledgeable and my nose piercing was quick and painless. Couldn't have asked for a better job! Highly recommend!

Been a customer from the beginning, grew in to a live-long friendship. Finest people on the planet. Bring in whatever you want, and they will ask you, more than once, if your happy with the stencil drawing before they begin your tattoo. They are very understanding and are thorough professionals. The shop is state of the art, and has a wonderful 'waiting area' with a very large tv. If your looking for a great tattoo/piercing, then Pins and Needles is your choice. It's all 'walk-in' business, so get there and 'sign in' and let your experience begin.
