Mellow Madness Tattoo Parlor

Mellow Madness has great artists including Andy May and Spencer Herrington (Spenny) and I highly recommend checking them out for any tattoos or piercings!

Rock is incredibly professional, friendly and talented artist.

My partner and I came in around November 2022 to do an tattoo, We gladly paid a deposit a week in advance for a particular tattoo, coming into the appointment, the artist (review will be updated when we figure out his name again) was very dismissive and rude, and seemed rushed (more on that later)... My partner expressed concern, as they have a medical condition tied to pain, and just asked the tattoo artist to go easy, and had no issues, and just had to take a short break. The tattoo artist was extremely rude and made quips about pain tolerance. Throughout tattooing my partner raised concerns about patchy areas, and color. These were dismissed out of hand. "It's just shading" the artist insisted (He asked specifically for solid color for the entire tattoo) and when the tattoo gun water dipping tray started turning redder than expected, (this would be my partner's fifth tattoo) once again, we were dismissed out of hand that it was just orange pigment from the tattoo gun (He hadn't gotten to color yet). All in all, not a fantastic experience, And then the quality of the tattoo came more and more apparent as it healed As pictured below, the tattoo is quickly fading only months later, there are distinct lines and spots with no color whatsoever, and the black outline is shaky and not very solid, and if you look closely, he couldn't even keep inside the lines at the bottom of the tattoo. This tattoo was a copy / redo same design on the other arm, that is planned to cover up the original So, now we not only need a cover-up of the original (which was already planned) we also need a touch-up. Honestly, I couldn't even imagine going back in for a free touch-up, let alone another tattoo.

We were traveling from out of town to Rochester and worked with Range via email to get a tattoo. A bad storm came in the day before our appointment, and he came in early to reschedule our tattoo! It was a great experience!

Came in for friday the 13th flash day awesome shop everyone was friendly! My tattoo came out great from Spencer I will definitely be back.

I went in to get a Friday the 13th flash tattoo. Everyone was super nice and the place was clean. I got paired up with Spenny Turbo as my artist. Dude was super chill and he took his time with placement and the piece itself. It was super busy so the fact he took his time with the entire process meant a lot. I highly recommend him as an artist! For sure going to him for my next piece

My husband and I paid Spenny the $200 deposit to book Sunday, January 8th all day. We were both going to be getting tattoos. Spenny seemed really cool and excited about what we wanted. We booked several weeks in advance, and then the night before, Saturday the 7th, he cancelled on us saying he was extremely ill. My husband and I are pretty understanding people, so while we were disappointed, we had no issues with having to reschedule. Spenny asked that we give him a few days and he'd get back to us. By Tuesday we hadn't heard anything, so we reached out to him to discuss his availability. By Friday the 13th, he still hadn't responded to either of us. I called the shop this afternoon after they opened, and was told that he was actually there tattooing today. While we're glad to hear he's feeling better, we didn't appreciate the lack of communication so I asked that we get a full refund of our deposit and he did provide it.

Came in for a flash, Friday the 13th tattoo today and had a great experience!! Everyone was super friendly. Spenny did my tattoo and he was very professional, easy to talk to, and accommodating. He made the whole process quick and comfortable. My tattoo came out awesome!!! Will definitely be returning 🙂

Got my nose pierced by Marli. She pierced the left nostril a year ago and came back for the right side because she did such a great job. I highly recommend her!

The best tattoo parlor around in the state. Incredible artists and great prices. Work done is very detailed, and the latest technology is used, and time spent is worth EVERY penny. Get on over to Mellow Madness if you need ink done. I promise you won't be disappointed.

You could do far worse than this place. Everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout my piercing process. However, the placement of my double nostril hoop piercing ended up being off of what I was hoping for. After a few months of healing issues & generally not being too happy with it, I ended up getting a second opinion. I found out the piercings were definitely misplaced and will need to be taken out and redone for optimal results. This being said, the piercings didn’t look too bad, the prices were good, everything was sterile & of good materials, and Marli (the piercer) was very approachable and helpful. I really did enjoy working with her through the process and think overall she’s talented at what she does. I’d just recommend going elsewhere for piercings if you want a specific style or a more complicated piercing than something like a septum or ears. I ended up going to Dorje Adornments to redo mine, and while they’re difficult to get in with I was much happier with both the jewelry options and results. No idea how their tattoos are but I’d be inclined to think they’re good. I did really enjoy working with this place though I wish I had better results for my piercings.

I normally don’t bother to leave reviews but I wanted to comment on how great our experience was! My brother and I came in and each got a piece done by Range. He worked with us and both of our tattoos came out perfect, exactly what we wanted. His station was very clean as well. Plus he was friendly and fun to chat with, I’ll definitely come back here!

I got this tattoo from Spenny and I’m incredibly happy with how it turned out! This was my first tattoo and I wasn’t nervous at all while he worked, and he was great to chat with as well! Would highly recommend coming here.

First tattoo experience. INCREDIBLE. Nothing but compliments from all who have seen it so far. Cannot wait for my second session to add color. Already contemplating my next piece of art.

I’ve gotten 4 tattoos and a touch up from Spenny and haven’t had a single issue. Every line is exceptional. He takes extreme measures to make sure every tool is clean and covered properly. He is an amazing artist, and clearly cares about each client. By far the best I’ve been. I will most certainly continue going to Spenny for any tattoos I get in the future. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

We had a great experience with Range! Friendly and very clean.

I took my 15 year old to get their septum pierced and Marli was fantastic. She’s very meticulous about placement and very thorough with aftercare instructions. The shop is clean and comfortable, the prices are very reasonable and everyone was very friendly. I’m glad we chose Mellow Madness and would choose it again

Had to wait over an hour for my tattoo appointment. Then the artist started eating a candy bar mid sketch

I absolutely adore Marley. She’s wonderful and I’ve gotten nearly all my piercings done by her. She really is super patient and kind. I also got my first tattoo done here. It was..a awful experience. Spenny had been given references of what I had wanted done and was unable to do it. I ended up drawing my own version which was meant to be a reference for him, which he just ended up copying completely. In the end, my tattoo would’ve been fine had it not ended up being blown out in some areas. Trying to contact him is IMPOSSIBLE. I tried to contact him to touch up the tattoo and just gave up because he would never reply. This place is okay overall! Just don’t go to Spenny.

Amazing tatoo experience. I asked for a design change and they did it without saying anything. Very quick and professional ! Very reasonable prices as well. Highly recommended
