I worked with Chriz on a tattoo cover up. He not only did an amazing job but was very accommodating through the process. His attention to detail and artistic skills are stellar. The shop is very clean and Chriz took every sanitary precaution through the process. He is a true professional and his staff are very friendly and welcoming. Chriz is very easy to work with and I recommend him to anyone looking for a high quality and professionally done tat.

I had the worst piercing experience. I wanted a labret but she pierced my lip and gave me a vertical with the wrong jewelry. It wasn't a vertical labret piercing nor a traditional labret piercing but one painful blend?? The jewelry was too small and when I tried switching to a larger stud so it could heal correctly, nothing would go back in because the hole is angled when I specifically asked it not to be.
TLDR: Piercing Flop

I came here for my first tattoo as a walk in and had the opportunity to work with Bryan. The staff over the phone was very kind and helpful.Everything in the shop was extremely clean, He changed gloves after touching every piece of equipment to make sure there was no contamination. I 100% definitely would recommend coming here again and anyone looking to get a quality tattoo.

I scheduled a consult for them to take a look for a potential tattoo and get a price. The artist was extremely rude. When I showed pictures of the type of flowers I wanted, he was short and told me the flowers were fake. The consult was a waste of time, artist acted like he didn’t want to give me the time of day, and I will not spend my money there.

I stumbled upon this place because the last tattoo artist I went to was horrible. Poor customer service . So I just googled tattoo shops near me and called/ went to 5 different places . When I finally got to No sleep , he quoted a good and reasonable price and it Less than 20 minutes away from me. My tattoo artist was Chris ,so I asked to see the work he’s done on dark skinned people because I know not everyone has worked with that skin tone. And I didn’t want my tattoo not to be visible . I was impressed by his work. He did a phenomenal job, made me feel comfortable. I’ve been going there since then. I’ve gotten 2 tattoos done by him . And he’s corrected an old tattoo too and made it look good. I have another appointment next week . They do all kinds of piercing too . Would definitely recommend to anyone

The guy is so rude, I had by nose pierced on Tuesday and the fake nose ring used on me came out on Saturday, I made a call thru and I was told to come in before 6pm. When I got there I explained to the dude that does piecing and he try to fix the fake nose ring back, but it didn’t go thru. He said the hole is blocked that I will have to wait for it to heal in 2weeks time then I can come back, I asked him if I was gonna make any payment when I get to come back he said yes.
This is a very terrible place, and they don’t care about you and the pain one goes through. All they want is money. I won’t advice my enemy to patronize them.

Jason was very professional, courteous and took care of my piercing in a very timely manner. Also making sure I understood how to take care of it, the type of earring I was getting and instructions were also given!
That was my review when I got my nose pierced. My daughter is currently waiting for the piercer who was supposed to be back in 20 minutes. I'll be updating my review once everything is all said and done!

Incredible place to get a tattoo. Clean, Friendly,experienced and professional.
I've had a tattoo done here, 4 hour session, amazing work. Very pleased. Looking forward to having more work done at this location. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
Just saw Jason today to get my nose piercing switched out. He is so friendly and professional. It was my 2nd time seeing him for my piercing needs. I even brought one of my friends with me to get a nose piercing and even she was very pleased with Jason's calm nature!

First I want to point out that this shop did not have me sign any papers or documents. I came to no sleep to get a VERY meaningful tattoo of my grandfathers handwriting after he passed. I went with two friends and they got their tattoos first and once Jason finished both of them he asked how badly I wanted the tattoo... I said that if he had time I would like to get it but if not, not to worry. He responded ok I will do it real quick. Ok... didn’t know that translated to doing a bad job and LEAVING A LETTER OUT. The first two photos are of my grandads handwriting and the tattoo. Looks nothing like the writing. So, I wait a month, came back 3 times to finally catch Jason there and showed him the tattoo. He of course saw nothing wrong with it. I asked if he could fix it and he said yes so the last picture is of the final product. I am absolutely disappointed with this shop and will never return. Mind you, before he fixed it, I asked if he wanted to re print out the handwriting so he could trace where he messed up and he said “there’s no point in doing that at this point” so basically wanted to freehand the touch up instead of using my grandfathers writing which was the whole point. and LASTLY when he finished the “touch-up” says “I’m not even going to bother with the bandage since it’s so small”. DUDE ITS STILL AN OPEN WOUND.
I want to add that I was charged $100 ...

Just had a piece done by Bryan on Sat. This young man was professional, had a gentle touch and in may opinion took great care tattooing my arm. Highly recommended, the price was fair, and within reason. He also had the best music! Nostalgic for an old guy like me. Reception at front, (Demetrius)? was very pleasant to deal with as well. Highly recommended, and we will be back for more. Thank you again NoSleep,

Again.. I LOVE IT
Chris was the professional today, he did an amazing job, I love my tatto.
Starting with the person who answers my questions by email, he was very kind and very patient with me. the day I went for the tattoo he was also very patient and nice. the person who made my tattoo. I think the name was Jason or Joseph ((im sorry I'm too bad remembering names 😅)), he was very professional and I loved the tattoo. I definitely recommend this place. It is a very clean and professional place. I will come back here with my next tattoo idea.

I got a tattoo done by a guest artist whom was absolutely amazing! I had no idea he was a guest artist until 3 weeks later when I booked my touch up appt. and this is where it goes downhill - I booked and was confirmed with my original artist who happened to be in town - I arrived at No Sleep on the afternoon of my appt. and was seen by someone entirely different. I should have walked away, but I naively trusted that they chose this artist because he would be skilled in fine line work, which is what my original tattoo was done in. I sit, he begins, and during a pause I notice my lines are significantly thicker than my original piece. I stopped him because it altered my tattoo entirely and he stated that if I didnt want the ink falling out that I needed to get the lines thicker - I get that, this isnt my first tattoo, however this in my opinion is a creative liberty that was taken without my prior consent. I asked he not continue because for me personally, my tattoo was ruined as of that point. It wasn't until all of this that I was told the guest artist was sick that day and that he was based out of NYC and so if I wanted to book with him they could give me his info. I go to the desk and for some reason they were unable to give me my og artists info at the shop and told me to please text them and they would send his info to me. This happened a week and a half ago - since then I have reached out twice now and no response. I don't leave reviews, and I hate leaving a negative one, but at this rate I have a botched tattoo and if I could just get my artists information, at this point that is all I can ask for to remedy the situation. Hoping I can get this resolved.

Really professional and good environment, the guy who did my piercing was really chill and made it a very good first time piercing experience. I’m considering coming back for a tattoo appointment. Highly recommend!
I have been going to no sleep for about 2 years it’s honestly a excellent experience every time I come in . Clean everyone is friendly . Chris is the only one who has been tattooing me he is a Excellent artist , but everyone who works their art work is good . I recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent work in a good environment.
