Thad did an amazing job for my first tattoo. Very happy with the result and hope to come back and get another one.

Came to Aftershock for a mommy and son tattoo. Nothing too detailed, we just wanted something meaningful to us before he goes to college. We worked with Thad, and he was amazing. Very patient (with me) and so detail oriented. His cleaning and sterilization regiment would make a surgeon proud. He even had a dry, wicked sense of humor. I will never be back as a customer (because of zero pain tolerance) but Logan will. Thanks Thad!! Marta and Logan

Took my 17 year old daughter here to get an industrial piercing. She’s been TWICE before to get tattoos from Olivia (who by the way does great work). We knew from before she needed a photo ID/birth certificate and my ID since she’s 17 and doesn’t have her ID yet. Plus I called to verify it. We took the EXACT same documents as before with her tattoos. We arrived today as soon as they opened and the dark haired girl at the front sat there flipping her birth certificate back and forth. She says something to the other woman and then says we can’t use this. I said why not we used the same documents before for her tattoos. She then says it needs to be a stamped birth certificate from the State. Again, these are the SAME pieces of ID we used for 2 freakin tattoos .Then she says each piercer requires different documents. Not one time during this last call or any previous calls was it said it needed to be a State issued birth certificate. I’ve had plenty of tattoos and piercings and never had this many inconsistencies. Not to mention a 30 minute drive to get there.I was going to get my next tattoo with Olivia but after today they won’t be getting our business again nor will I be referring anyone there. Edit to the owners response. I provided the SAME documentation that I provided when Olivia did both of her tattoos. The hospital birth certificate (yes with the footprint which had the stamp from the hospital her name and her parents name)her school ID and my DL. So what’s the difference? She just got her last tattoo a few months ago ?????

Stopped in to try to just buy jewelry. Every other studio I've ever been to has jewelry for purchase without having to see the piercer. Here we were put on a waiting list to see the piercer and they said it was a three hour wait. I wasnt willing to wait that long before i even saw what their selection was like to know if it was worth the wait. Went to a different shop down the road, walked right in and bought the jewelry we were after. Clearly this place is super busy so props to them. But jewelry up front for sale would be an easy way to make some extra cash.

What a Great Experience! I went to get my ears pierced as I stopped wearing earrings about eight years ago. Jo observed that my ear’s didn’t need re-piercing, the original holes needed to be opened. It was quick, painless and easy. Professional staff. Highly recommend!

We use to love going to the old Aftershock. Had work done there years ago and it was outstanding. But this time, we live in Topeka and had a consult scheduled for 6pm. We knew that we were running a little late due to rush hour traffic so we called and told them that were coming from out of town and would be 30 minutes late. They said ok. We show up 28 minutes late and they told us sorry we are going to have to reschedule for a consult. I said I am not new to tattoos and have never needed a consult and that I would just like to schedule for my actual appointment to get the work done. They refused and said everyone is required to do a consult. They do good work here but not that good to waste my time and act like everyone is beneath them. My money will spend good elsewhere. Also note that 3 of us were there to get work done so they lost 3 in one shot. I also wanted to add that both of the receptionist that we spoke with on the phone and in person are lacking customer service skills. Edit: Reply to Aftershock: I can’t prove time frame but you are wrong. 6 pm appointment called at 5:45pm to be nice and notify you all that were we running late and would be there at 6:30pm and your receptionist said should be fine. Walked in the door at 6:28pm and finally spoke to someone at 6:40pm. Not doing this for any gain other than to prove you wrong.

This place claims to be on a walk on basis for piercings but it is not. You should call ahead to get on the list and even then you might not get in which is fine but we were told it was a walk in place. The lady up front was rude as well. I’m sure this place probably has great services but the lady up front was short with us and unfriendly.

I went in for a new piercing through a recommendation from a friend and let me tell you. Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had and I highly recommend. Made the experience easy and would not go anywhere else.

Jo is by far the best piercer I’ve ever had. She has done snake bites and a septum on me and both times she explained aftercare and how the piercing would work. She walked me through everything she was going to do and also coached me on breathing. 10/10

The best piercer I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They cultivate such a relaxing experience and are extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

I went and got my tragus pierced by Jo and it was seriously THE BEST piercing experience I have had. I’ve been to several places in the area to get various piercings and I’ve never had a piercer like Jo. She took her time, recommended what would be best for me and didn’t have her own wants in mind, and kept me breathing and calm through the whole process. Such an awesome and sweet individual! Go get your piercing by Jo at Aftershock!

Edit here: Post this review I did get my desired tattoo completed beautifully and I am in love, SKIN ILLUSTRATIONS has been my best tattoo and piercing experience by far!!! I went in for a consult with Thad for my first tattoo 3 weeks ago, over the phone and in person I told the staff I do not like the look of american traditional tattoos, i was looking for something a bit more realistic and dainty and that personally and I am not a fan on thick line work. It took less than 30 seconds for Thad to practically walk me out of the front door and he was not willing to discuss any way to collaborate on an idea. I respect and completely understand if an artist does not do certain styles and if the tattoo will fade quickly an artist might not want to have their name attached to that work. However after showing him my reference picture he rudely told me he will never do a tattoo like that, I will be unhappy and hate it, and that no one in the area will ever do this tattoo for me. I was willing and tried to find a possible middle ground and even offered suggestions of maybe brown or thinner like work which was immediately shut down with rude remarks saying if i wanted this tattoo it was going to be the way he wanted it done. After this he walked me out and the entire interaction lasted about 30-45 seconds before I was back at the front desk. The tattoo i wanted was a peach, peach half and a peach slice, i understand pinks are hard to get to stick and my reference photos had little to no line work. I acknowledged this and I did not mind the fact it would fade and that’s actually why i like pink line work/ink personally. I would not recommend this shop personally but I understand others have different experiences. i hope others do not get discouraged when a reaction like this occurs from staff. (Also i did find an artist at a different shop a few miles away who was more than willing to do this tattoo for me after telling him about this interaction)
