Ikonic Tattoo

I've had two piercings here done by Jesse and he was absolutely amazing! I was guided to Ikonic Ink from a friend while looking into getting my nose pierced. It healed great! Jesse is very professional, answers all questions, provides information you might not know, has a clean sterile work space and instruments. For my second piercing I got an evaluation from a different person at a different shop first in State College and was not impressed or comforted by the conditions of the work environment. I was pretty much shopping around for a rare piercing and like my instincts suggested in the beginning (but I didn't listen to), I went to Jesse again and he took care of me. Honestly at this point I won't go to anywhere or anyone else except for Jesse. He also has taken the APP classes on top of years of experience!

Kady did a great job with my piercings and responded to all my questions and concerns in an informative and professional manner. I felt like I was well taken care of and I will definitely go back to her for my next piercing.

Jesse B. pierced my nose for me here and I thought it was a great experience. He was very nice and informative, and made me feel comfortable during the process. I wasn't very nervous to begin with, but I'm sure that if I was I would feel at ease there because they are so nice and welcoming. Really good place to get a piercing in State College.

If you're looking for a place to get a tattoo or piercing I can't recommend this place highly enough! It's clean and the staff is professional, talented, personable, and just overall great! Majority of my piercings have been done here as have all of my tattoos. Their piercer, Jesse B, is professional and incredibly helpful and the shop has amazing piercing specials daily as well as a huge stock of upgrade jewelry--literally something for every style and aesthetic. I love how talented each of the tattoo artists are and how the studio has an artist for just about every style. I was extremely nervous for my largest tattoo and Jordan is so sweet she made the experience as painless as getting a tattoo can be! I will always be returning here

I came to Ikonic to get my earlobes pierced for a second time back in April, something I thought would be simple a straightforward. I really wanted to love this place, because the reviews were good, it was super clean and everyone was really friendly, and they use high quality jewelry. Full story below, but basically I had to have a piercing redone because it was crooked. It was still crooked the second time and the piercer didn't agree, so I ended up going somewhere else to have it fixed.

My right lobe was done perfectly, but the left one was obviously crooked (exit hole was way too close to my existing lobe piercing). I went back to ask to have it redone and the piercer insisted it was straight. I wasn't satisfied so went back again, with a photo showing how crooked it was. She agreed to redo it, but it was still crooked the second time, this time with the exit hole really high. It was so crooked that the back of the post started to embed in my ear. Again, she insisted it was straight but offered to change the jewelry to a longer post. It turned out that the post wasn't longer at all, it just had a larger back on it, so it started to embed in my ear again within days.

Obviously unsatisfied, I ended up going to a different shop to have the piercing redone by someone with a lot more experience. The entire process at the other shop was way more professional and completely painless, and the placement is good. I'm finally happy but it took almost 3 months (because of all the healing time in between piercings). I understand that people make mistakes that are hard to admit, but I won't go back to Ikonic.

i’ve been to ikonic many times in my year at penn state. when jesse did my daith piercing, he didn’t even clean my ear. he didn’t give me any aftercare instructions. it was quick and painless tho. when i went back because the piercing was infected, they told me he’d be in around noon to see me. by 1pm when he finally walks through the door, the receptionist says he has clients waiting. he looks at me and the other girls lined up for piercings and says “i don’t care, i’m not ready”. when i had him take out my daith ring because it was infected, he again didn’t even clean it before yanking it out of my ear. i’m only giving this place two stars bc i got a tattoo here as well and it was amazing and i wish i could remember who did it. if you want a quality experience, go to 814 tattoo company, which is what i’ll be doing for the rest of my college years.

I have gotten a tattoo by Chris and a half sleeve from Slylar, both do such amazing work and people comment on my tattoos all the time!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking for some unique one of a kind tattoos. They are both super friendly guys that have a passion for artwork and quality.

I got my navel pierced here. The receptionist was very nice. I was nervous because it was one of my first piercings. Place was very clean and professional. Only downside is it’s expensive but you do get for what you pay for.

Got my tat done by Chris Roberts today and couldn't be more pleased. Covered my calf in under 3 hours and was very professional. The shop is clean and inviting. 10/10 recommend! Will be back for my next ink fix!

When I went in staff was very welcoming and helped with every question I had! The piercer talked me through everything before he did it, and was very clear on aftercare instructions! Very professional, and reasonably priced!
