Mellow Madness Tattoo Parlor

The best piercing place! The piercer is very kind and patient. She did my bridge & septum piercing very professionally and well. The atmosphere of the place is very comforting and I'm normally a very anxious person in general. She explained aftercare well and worked well with me on what I needed. Will definitely come back for other piercings if needed! :)

My partner and I came in around November 2022 to do an tattoo,
We gladly paid a deposit a week in advance for a particular tattoo, coming into the appointment, the artist (review will be updated when we figure out his name again) was very dismissive and rude, and seemed rushed (more on that later)...
My partner expressed concern, as they have a medical condition tied to pain, and just asked the tattoo artist to go easy, and had no issues, and just had to take a short break. The tattoo artist was extremely rude and made quips about pain tolerance. Throughout tattooing my partner raised concerns about patchy areas, and color. These were dismissed out of hand. "It's just shading" the artist insisted (He asked specifically for solid color for the entire tattoo) and when the tattoo gun water dipping tray started turning redder than expected, (this would be my partner's fifth tattoo) once again, we were dismissed out of hand that it was just orange pigment from the tattoo gun (He hadn't gotten to color yet).
All in all, not a fantastic experience,
And then the quality of the tattoo came more and more apparent as it healed
As pictured below, the tattoo is quickly fading only months later, there are distinct lines and spots with no color whatsoever, and the black outline is shaky and not very solid, and if you look closely, he couldn't even keep inside the lines at the bottom of the tattoo.
This tattoo was a copy / redo same design on the other arm, that is planned to cover up the original
So, now we not only need a cover-up of the original (which was already planned) we also need a touch-up.
Honestly, I couldn't even imagine going back in for a free touch-up, let alone another tattoo.

I took my 15 year old to get their septum pierced and Marli was fantastic. She’s very meticulous about placement and very thorough with aftercare instructions. The shop is clean and comfortable, the prices are very reasonable and everyone was very friendly. I’m glad we chose Mellow Madness and would choose it again

You could do far worse than this place. Everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout my piercing process. However, the placement of my double nostril hoop piercing ended up being off of what I was hoping for. After a few months of healing issues & generally not being too happy with it, I ended up getting a second opinion. I found out the piercings were definitely misplaced and will need to be taken out and redone for optimal results. This being said, the piercings didn’t look too bad, the prices were good, everything was sterile & of good materials, and Marli (the piercer) was very approachable and helpful. I really did enjoy working with her through the process and think overall she’s talented at what she does.

I’d just recommend going elsewhere for piercings if you want a specific style or a more complicated piercing than something like a septum or ears. I ended up going to Dorje Adornments to redo mine, and while they’re difficult to get in with I was much happier with both the jewelry options and results.

No idea how their tattoos are but I’d be inclined to think they’re good. I did really enjoy working with this place though I wish I had better results for my piercings.

I’ve gotten 4 tattoos and a touch up from Spenny and haven’t had a single issue. Every line is exceptional. He takes extreme measures to make sure every tool is clean and covered properly. He is an amazing artist, and clearly cares about each client. By far the best I’ve been. I will most certainly continue going to Spenny for any tattoos I get in the future. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Came in for a flash, Friday the 13th tattoo today and had a great experience!! Everyone was super friendly. Spenny did my tattoo and he was very professional, easy to talk to, and accommodating. He made the whole process quick and comfortable. My tattoo came out awesome!!! Will definitely be returning 🙂

I absolutely adore Marley. She’s wonderful and I’ve gotten nearly all my piercings done by her. She really is super patient and kind.

I also got my first tattoo done here. It was..a awful experience. Spenny had been given references of what I had wanted done and was unable to do it. I ended up drawing my own version which was meant to be a reference for him, which he just ended up copying completely. In the end, my tattoo would’ve been fine had it not ended up being blown out in some areas. Trying to contact him is IMPOSSIBLE. I tried to contact him to touch up the tattoo and just gave up because he would never reply. This place is okay overall! Just don’t go to Spenny.

We were traveling from out of town to Rochester and worked with Range via email to get a tattoo. A bad storm came in the day before our appointment, and he came in early to reschedule our tattoo! It was a great experience!

My husband and I paid Spenny the $200 deposit to book Sunday, January 8th all day. We were both going to be getting tattoos. Spenny seemed really cool and excited about what we wanted. We booked several weeks in advance, and then the night before, Saturday the 7th, he cancelled on us saying he was extremely ill. My husband and I are pretty understanding people, so while we were disappointed, we had no issues with having to reschedule. Spenny asked that we give him a few days and he'd get back to us. By Tuesday we hadn't heard anything, so we reached out to him to discuss his availability. By Friday the 13th, he still hadn't responded to either of us. I called the shop this afternoon after they opened, and was told that he was actually there tattooing today. While we're glad to hear he's feeling better, we didn't appreciate the lack of communication so I asked that we get a full refund of our deposit and he did provide it.

I normally don’t bother to leave reviews but I wanted to comment on how great our experience was! My brother and I came in and each got a piece done by Range. He worked with us and both of our tattoos came out perfect, exactly what we wanted. His station was very clean as well. Plus he was friendly and fun to chat with, I’ll definitely come back here!
