Transcend Tattoo & Piercing LLC

Adrienne did the most beautiful, dainty tattoo for me. It was my first tattoo and I changed my mind a few times about the details, but Adrienne was patient and extremely helpful. She was friendly and made my experience so pleasant. And, of course, she did beautiful work. My tattoo is healing nicely. I can not recommend this shop enough!!

The work I’ve had done here by Vandol is by far nothing short of amazing. You can really tell he cares about his artwork. The time and care he puts into work you can tell he cares which is hard to come by. The quality of work being done there is breathtaking. I’m so happy I walked in this place! Everyone at the shop is very friendly. The atmosphere is very home like. I’m a lifer now!

The only bad reviews could only possibly be from people who want a quick/cheap tattoo done. You get what you pay. With that being said, I could not express how happy I am! My gratitude, being an artist myself, I know how it feels when something you’ve been working on for so long finally comes to life! and it was all thanks to Adrienne here at Death or Glory tattoo! The men were so amazing when I first went in (yesterday) and so honest and told me to take my time looking at the portfolios they even took their time to see what I was wanting, looked at my drawings and referred me to who they thought was best (and I already was in love with her work so when they said that I KNEW they were legitimately wanting me to get exactly what I wanted) and I’ve never had that before, it’s always been a quick ‘whoever is free and just wants the money’ instead, they took their time and helped me feel like it was more than ok to take my time as well! I fell in love with the art Adrienne had in her portfolio. She was so amazing and worked with everything I wanted, every step of the way! She was so amazing to work with and I truly see her as a friend! Price is always worth it! she’s AMAZING. I am NEVER going to another place again!! Thank you for making my year better and helping me give a proper dedication to my two loved ones I dearly miss. You ALL made my experience easy and so much fun! SERIOUSLY all the artists there were INCREDIBLE! I am Coming back just to get more done because I actually finally found a place I trust and want to pay money to!

I was at the shop while my wife was having her tattoo done by Justin (who’s awesome) and I was bored. Vandol was there and had some free time so I got a Get what you get tattoo out of the machine. The quality of work and how fast yet light handed he was is nothing short of what you want from a tattoo artist. The shop is also clean and feels like home. Everyone’s custom service skills and professionalism is definitely 10/10!

My husband and I both had tattoos done by Jordi, he was professional, informative and his art was amazing. We got exactly what we wanted and our tattoos turned out amazing. He did a big tree piece on my arm and I have gotten so many compliments on it. We will both be going back for more.

Justin has done two tattoos on me and I have nothing but good things to say! He’s been so willing to work with me. He has amazing patience even when I’ve been an indecisive client! Super friendly and awesome to talk to while giving you your tattoo. Can’t wait to go again!

Do not get pierced here. I went to get my first lobes re-pierced (they were done at Claire’s 10 years ago) during their $10 deal. I was pierced by Hailey and she did an incredibly bad job. The front of the piercings look okay, but she went through both my ears crooked. I’ve attached pictures and you can actually still see my preexisting hole from the back.

She also used externally threaded, stainless steel jewelry. I did not have the option to buy internally threaded titanium jewelry, which I absolutely would have paid extra for. Likewise, the general sanitation was lacking. She sprayed down a glass panel, put a paper towel over it and laid all of her items on that. She touched a lot of surfaces, including the paper towel roll, her jewelry cabinet, and other non sterilized instruments without first changing her gloves to touch me. She did not change her gloves before touching the needle and my ear. She also marked my ear with a sharpie which was weird.

The piercing itself was also incredibly uncomfortable. She was not gentle while putting in the jewelry and it hurt more than the needle. I’ve had 4 helixes and a septum and her placement hurt more than any of my other piercings. It was painful to feel her fishing around trying to get the post in. And she should have realized how crooked the piercing was when doing so.

The experience overall was just really, really bad. I paid $20 to get this done so I was overlooking some red flags. I was planning on switching to better jewelry in a few weeks, but the piercing itself in unsalvageable and inexcusable. Honestly, it’s embarrassing that a teenager at Claire’s did a better job with my initial piercing than she did re-piercing them. Do not pay full price for any of her services and avoid the shop in general for piercings.

Rudy did an amazing job giving me a tattoo of a drawing my sister had made years ago. He was super nice and informative, definitely an 11/10 tattoo experience.

I just want to thank Jake he did an amazing job. I got just what I wanted and more it turned out amazing.

Nate kinsay is the best will be going back for more to finish this whole arm sleeve!
