The Darkside Tattoo

Took my little sister to get her nostril pierced and the piercer was incredibly helpful and accomodating about soothing her nerves. She walked her through the whole process and was quick and efficient about it. The office is actually really nice-looking-- don't let the pics online fool you.

Love this place! Bryon has done four of my tattoos including a coverup and I’m so happy I went to him! Bryon does perfect work and has a down to earth attitude! They are so welcoming there and help put your mind/nerves at ease! I refuse to go anywhere else!! Thank you Bryon!

Every interaction I have had with any of their staff has been great. I have been going to Roy (one of their artists) for over five years. The shop is clean, ran by wonderful people amd their work is fantastic. I would and have recommended this shop to many people.

I got my nips by Roy and booth rooks by Hayley two weeks apart. All piercings look, and feel great besides healing sorness. Minimal swelling, and even a repierced rook comfortable enough to sleep on. Hayley was wonderful and super informative. Thank you Darkside!

I have been getting tattooed at Darkside for almost 10 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Everyone here is amazing and they have an artist for almost any art style. Roy is amazing and makes stunning portraits as well as artsy pieces. He has been tattooing me most of my adult life and I can't think of any piece he has done which isn't dear to me.

I messed up getting my piercing and the piercer was super sweet and asked if I wanted anything else or to try again. She was also super funny and i loved interacting wirh her!

I felt like I was overcharged for a small tattoo but that's not really what bugged me. My tattoo was really bleeding after he was done and he put the clear bandage on it (it wasn't even a big enough bit for my tattoo) and it kept leaking out of the bandage so I asked for a bit more to help, he just cut some pieces and gave them to me to put on myself. He also pushed very hard on me while tattooing me and now a few days later my arm in that area is bruised all over. I thought my tattoo was infected because it really hurts but no, I'm just bruised everywhere there. Would not recommend.

I went into Darkside to get my naval pierced. I got there at 5:30pm (when there walk in piercings started). There were a few people ahead of me, so I expected there to be a wait. But the piercer was about 20-30 minutes late. An hour goes by from the time I got there, and I am finally back in the room for my piercing. My piercer continues to tell me that she is going to use a smaller bar (not for navals), and it may cause some irritation because of the swelling but is totally normal. I didn’t think anything of it, but shortly after my piercing I noticed it was very red and swollen. It was very painful. I figured once the swelling went down it would be okay. I went on vacation a few days later, and by then I could barely handle sitting. I quickly noticed that the ball on the top of my bar was sinking into my stomach, and I couldn’t even see it above my skin. I decided to go to a piercer where I was vacationing. She told me that the jewlery used is very low quality, it was pierced very deep, and the bar I was given was way too short, and because it wasn’t curved for naval piercings, it added a lot of pressure to the wound. She gave me a longer bar, and told me that I wouldn’t be able to use a normal belly button ring. Save yourself the time, money, and pain and go to a better shop.

This was my first tattoo & Josh Starke was my artist! He was very sociable & made me feel at ease! He did an awesome job on my 3D Butterfly, & can’t wait to see him again to get more!

Ashley pierced my septum and repierced my cartilage and it was a great experience. Very nice and professional and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole thing. Highly recommend.
