Would give a 0 star rating if I could and would never try to go here again. One of our friends had gotten a tattoo here a few years before so we thought we would try and get one together, even though she says herself that the original tattoo wasn’t the greatest. Their hours online said on a Friday night that they were open until 12am. Three friends and I wanted to get walk in tattoos around 10pm and even tried calling before to but there was no answer. We showed up and there was a sign on the door that said “be right back”. We waited for about 15 minutes and then decided we had no idea if or when they would be back.
Despite this we tried again on Saturday and gave them a call to ask about walk in tattoos that day. They proceeded to say that it was a $200 minimum for EACH person even though the tattoo would have maybe been an inch in size. Overall so unprofessional and would not recommend!!

Chris has a light hand and kept me calm. I love the fact that he took pride in his work and what I thought was straight he assured me wasn't right and gave me my heart desire.. I'm definitely coming back next month and I recommend if you are looking to get tatted this is the place to be...

They’re very clean and a very sweet. I had a piercing that closed and they helped me to take care of it. 10/10 will go there again.

NEVER get any piercings from this place. I got my belly button pierced from the guy there this past May and today went to another shop because it still hasn't healed. After inspecting it they told me that he had pierced it crooked and pierced way above my belly button and also with the wrong jewelry. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere!

Vintage is very clean and as soon as I walked in it seemed very professional. Both of the guys working when I went in were very helpful and friendly and explained the pricing and what I was signing very well. The small talk helped to calm my nerves and the piercing itself was very quick. It’s only been a few days but it’s not painful or red and seems to be healing really well

I got my septum pierced here about 8 months ago and should have taken me 2 minutes: instead I ended up having a wonderful time talking with the owner for 30-45 min. He’s super cool, friendly, and professional. I recommend people to go here all the time because I enjoyed being there and felt so welcomed. Can’t wait to come back!

Thinks he’s the best in town and definitely is not. Seems to me a bad case of narcissism. Openly admitted to me he up-charges tattoos that he doesn’t want to do. I have many tattoos and the one he did is the only one that has scarred from his heavy hand. Terrible line work. Do yourself a favor and go to Xclusive Ink just down the road from this shop if you want quality work.

Recently got my septum done here and am very happy with it!! Super clean, professional place and the owner is fun to talk to! If I decide to get another piercing, it will definitely be done here.

I have gotten three piercings here and every one of them has had trouble healing or has not healed at all. Two of the piercings ended up very crooked and my bellybutton was pierced with a horseshoe bar instead of a regular banana bar so now it can’t heal because it’s so crooked. I even went to another shop in town to talk to another piercer and was told that they get people in every week complaining about how bad Vintage does their piercings. It’s awful.

This is probably Starkville's best kept secret. Seriously, save yourself a trip to West Point or Columbus and go here instead. I got two piercings here last weekend. The shop is super clean and the guy at the front desk was really nice and answered all of my questions on the phone prior to coming in. I was a walk-in, but everything was efficient to the point that it felt like I had an appointment. The guy who did my piercing (wish I remembered his name, he was awesome!!) really took care to mark where he was going to put the needle and even re-did it a few times to make sure it would be precise. The pricing was great too- $70 for my two piercings. With the customer service factor, friendliness, and professionalism, you really can't beat that! Will definitely come back again if I decide I want to get another piercing or my first tattoo!!
