Central Ink Tattoo and Body Piercing

Awesome tattoo shop. Jeanie and Cristina are both superb artists and fun to work with. Jeanie has now done 8 tattoos over the years on me snd Cristina 17 on my best friend. We started with them in WF and now travel to them in their shop in Lawton.

Yesterday, I got my first piercing (besides the automatic ear piercing that parents give a lot of children.) I was pretty nervous at first. However, Kevin helped me at the front desk. We joked around, and he explained how getting a bellybutton piercing can be a little dangerous but also made sure that i knew exactly how to clean and what to clean it with. He double checked that everything was sterile, and that i was sterile before hand. He was very calm and reassuring and made me take to keep my mind off of the needle (i am very scared of needles.) We joked about how i said ow when it happened and he explained how everything was going to work. He cleaned it up, and gave me napkin just incase I bled. And to top it all off, he made sure i was okay before letting me leave and told me to come back if i started feeling anything but good. I would come back for any future piercing and i would 100% recommend every one to get their piercings done here.

McKenna pierced my septum! She was awesome! She let my friend sit in with me because I was nervous and she talked me through it too. She gave very simple instruction on care, and was super friendly! Everyone else that works there seem very straight forward, but no one was mean, contrary to what some have said in other reviews. I will definitely be coming back again! Oh, and be sure to tip because it's art.

I went there in October of 2019 to get a septum piercing with my best friend, it wasn’t horrible seemingly, and the place was clean. But he didn’t clean either of our piercings and he pierced my septum through my cartilage, it wasn’t through the septum, He didn’t even feel for where it was! It was very painful, when septum piercing aren’t supposed to be, as it is a small thin piece of skin, and not normal,y through cartilage. He told me I didn’t have to clean it at all, and I didn’t listen to him and cleaned it twice a day, cause that’s just plain not okay to not clean a piercing.

I am 61 years old, to celebrate I got a daith piercing. She was great!!I was told it would hurt and it did! I was walk through the whole experience, even if it did hurt it was not bad. It's been 3 days, and right from the first day the piecing has not hurt or given me any trouble. I can sleep. She told me how to clean and take care of my ear. My ear is not even red. I will tell every one to go their. I had a wonderful
Experience at Central Ink
Thanks guys!!

Kevin did my nipple piercing today. I am probably older than most clients he sees. It was really difficult for me to even walk in there. Kevin was very professional and made me feel comfortable. Thank you so much. I would recommend Kevin and Central Ink for piercing! And the pain? Nahhhhh.

Would NOT recommend this place for piercings at all! I trusted that they knew what there were talking about when asking if my ear would be OK for an industrial piercing. I already have two upper piercings, one on each ear. They claimed it would be fine, so I went ahead. I got home a few days later and went to a local tattoo/piercing shop and they immediately noticed some things were not right off from just looking at it! First off, the piercing retainer they used was basically PVC piping which over 4+ months can break down and release toxins into your body (was not told about this what so ever!). Second, my ears cannot handle an industrial piercing because of the fact that the bar will put too much pressure on my ear and rub towards the center of where the bar is causing irritation. Wish I would have known some of this before being told "Yeah, it'll be fine." Such bullshit! I am the type that typically won't complain about bad service but this one warranted one!! Maybe this will help someone else that's thinking about getting a piercing from this place!

Can't recommend. Got a piece done last month and I noticed that it hurt more than any other tattoo ever has, like I was crying and white knuckling the table. It was my fifth tattoo and second on my chest, so I'm not unfamiliar with the pain. After the tattoo, Kristina bandaged me up before I even looked in a mirror, which was a huge mistake, because if I'd looked, I'd have seen the huge blowout over more than half of the tattooed area. A blowout is typically caused by an artist using too heavy a hand, causing the ink to bleed into the subcutaneous layers under the skin. It results in a "fuzzy" undefined line and cannot be corrected except by camouflage or cover-up. I sent Central Ink a pic of the blowout and they responded that it was bruising and should clear up in a few days and asked me to come back in a week for them to look at it. I showed a few other tattoo artists the same pic and they informed me that the blowout was obvious and could not possibly be mistaken for a bruise. I knew then that I couldn't trust Central Ink to even fix their mistake, since they wouldn't acknowledge it in the first place. Shady place, I'd recommend going elsewhere unless you just don't care about what's going to be on your body permanently.

Jason did a terrific job on my ink, was friendly and personable, and gave awesome value for money. He made an extra effort to fit me in, and explained his process well. I will definitely use him again.

I went in last Wednesday to get my nose pierced and today to get my industrial
Kevin did them both he was very nice. I would definitely recommend this place to get a piercing!
It is very clean and both my piercing turned out great!
