Ago tattoo and piercing

I got my 1st tattoo here 2 weeks ago by Don! He was truly amazing & made me feel very comfortable which to Me that was very important as it was my 1st real tattoo. As I did a couple myself 30 years ago.
I took in 2 drawing of what I wanted & Don drew it & it looks awesome. I didn't know if they would be able to do the flower that I really wanted so I took in a couple others.
But Don drew the flower I totally wanted which was my favorite and it's amazing. Then the cross he added to my foot like a bracelet also was fantastically done.
I would recommend him to anybody to wanting a tattoo especially if it's your 1st one this place is a Must!

I got my nipples pierced here in October of 2021 and it was a great experience. The guy was SUPER professional, very knowledgeable and explained every part of the process which helped ease my nerves. He made the whole process as comfortable and easy as possible. He gave me very detailed aftercare advice and they use very high quality jewelry. The shop itself was very clean and well laid out. He did everything 100% when it came to keeping everything he touched clean and sanitized. The total cost was a little more expensive than I anticipated but 100% worth every penny. I'm going back right now to get help changing the jewelry for the first time and I know that I'll have just as great of an experience this time as well. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing done.

Great experience! Was just in town for a little birthday vacation and was curious about walk in piercing appointments. Found this place and was welcomed with open arms! Everyone was super nice and informative. Nathan was definitely an all star when he did the piercings. Would definitely recommend! Plan on coming back in the near future.

For starters, I've had this place saved for almost a year now. I've actually called them a couple of times and appointments are usually pushed out pretty far. [So I know this would've been a good place.]

I called, again, over a week ago inquiring about their upcoming hours and availability. I was told if I came in on Saturday, it's first come first serve for walk-ins only. That was perfect, because my birthday was on a Saturday and I was going to come in early to make sure I could get in that day.

Fast forward to today. It's over an hour drive for me, but I'm still here early. I think I may have even been the first person on the "wait list." I'm waiting for the phone call to let me know when an artist has arrived, but instead I am told that it's "not going to happen today, but they could possibly get me in tomorrow."

I'm absolutely devastated. This tattoo is far from my first, but it's without a doubt my most important. I've been getting tattooed on my birthday for 22 years. I'm not driving all the way back here, just to POSSIBLY get a tattoo a day late and a dollar short.

Edit:

I would have made an appointment if I thought one was necessary. When I called, I was told appointments weren't offered on Saturdays and Sundays (which happen to be my only days off). So, when told to come in as early as possible on Saturday for FCFS walk-ins, that's what I did. Thanks for the recommendation though.

Oh and "I'm sorry but..." is not an actual apology.

I cannot say enough good things about Alex and her piercing skills. She has done all of my son's piercings and each time she has done an exceptional job. You can tell right away that she is knowledgeable and skilled in her craft. Her customer service also stands out when she talks to my teenage son about the process, treating him with as much respect as she would give any adult client.

Thank you Alex for poking holes in my kid!

Went in yesterday to get piercings, and I was absolutely blown away by how professional and kind the piercer was. He was fantastic about walking through every step of the process with me, and he did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Absolutely awesome experience getting my septum pierced and getting a beautiful, cruel/conflict free diamond nose stud after she had to widen the established nose piercing. Barely any pain and everything is healing well. I would absolutely come back again for more piercings or jewelry. Truly beautiful body jewelry.

All artists are super great! I live an hour away and will drive to Ago just to get pierced there. If you ever had anxiety walking into a piercing shop they will make you feel super welcome and comfortable. 10/10

I was tattooed by Lanea, who was very cool and easy to talk to. I felt like I was on the therapist couch getting to spill my guts, with an added bonus of a nice new piece of art on myself. I'm from out of town, but will absolutely be back for more whenever I find myself in Newport. Thank you for the conversation and needle therapy ❤️

Absolutely professional, clean and friendly environment. Very educated in piercing and was very gentle. I will be doing all my business with them.
Thank you!
