Exposed Temptations Tattoo

I ended up emailing Greg Piper to get the process started. I think he emailed back almost immediately. We set up the first consultation to meet and go over ideas. I was excited.

Met with Greg and he was awesome. He was almost more excited about the process than I was. His shop is clean. It is a place you want to have your tattoo done. He did have a wait list- but his finished product was worth the wait.

Every week before my appointment I got a call reminder about the upcoming appointment. That was awesome. The woman at the front desk (Michelle) was an absolute pleasure to deal with and more than willing to answer any questions.

The finished product is amazing and I get compliments on it daily. Would definitely use this place again and have recommended it hundreds of times since.

Ian was incredible for ear piercing with our 6 year old daughter! Thanks so much again! Y’all were all great!

Brought my grandmother here for her first ever tattoo and some ear piercings. She had an overall great experience! Everyone was very friendly & informative. Her piercings were done as a walk-in, and the tattoo appointment was only 5 days later.
The artist who did her tattoo, Andrew (@working_class_thug) was so friendly & executed her tattoo exactly as she wanted it. We recommend seeing him!
Thanks for a great tattoo experience!

Great staff over at this place. Really professional and friendly. They'll work with whatever you want, suggest stuff, and get down to work. I walked in hoping to get a lions head, the artist took that and came up with something I absolutely loved. Clean studios, spot free equipment. And it wasn't even as expensive as I was expecting it to be. You leave with everything you need to know on how to take care of your new tattoo, and they've got all the gels and creams you need to keep your tattoo looking new. Walk-ins are welcomed, but I recommend getting an appointment if your work is going to be extensive. I walked in, realized my work would take 2~3 hours, ended up getting an appointment for next week. Showed up early, got started early. They'll stencil out their design to absolutely make sure you love it, work on any changes, show you exactly how it would look like at the spot you want it on, and start drawing. I highly recommend this place. Thinking of getting another tattoo soon, can't wait to go back.

I got my industrial and second lobe piercing done on the 25th! I am still super nervous for the healing process, but the atmosphere of the parlor was super friendly and nice. This was my first time going and my piercer was Ian. He was super kind even though he had already seen over 80 people for the day!! He explained clearly what he was doing and was overall just super kind even though I was really shy. Another employee who was a female (blonde hair, in small buns) aided me in filling out the prior paper work and was super kind and patient with me as well! She also did not get annoyed with my nervous antics and was just extremely kind and friendly when the parlor was SUPER busy so I really appreciated it!

I’m absolutely comfortable with the idea of going back another time when I want more piercings! I already recommended the place to a few friends and told them the Ian guy was my piercer since they were wanting to get their industrial and helix done!

They don’t pressure you at all and the experience was very delightful! I feel bad that I forgot to tip, but the next time I go, I’ll be sure to tip extra to make up for my negligence! I absolutely recommend the piercer Ian for those of you who are shy and don’t know how to carry a conversation 😅 he’ll keep one going and make you feel at ease! I’ll provide an update after a few months for this review on how my industrial is healing!

I arrived when they opened as a walk-in and was able to get my tattoo the same day. The young lady at the front was super friendly and helpful, and was able to handle a large volume of people right at the beginning of her day calmly and with courtesy. My artist, Glue, was positive, polite, professional and collaborative - in that I told him what I was looking for (which included a cover up of a small tattoo), and helped flesh the idea out. The process was efficient and I was completely comfortable the entire time. The new space is open, sanitary and fun to be in. 10/10, would highly recommend.

Photo is taken same day, so the healing bandage is still on (why it looks a little wonky)

Brought my 9yr old to get her ears pierced. The shop is clean and well staffed, and Ian the piercer was great at explaining the process, putting my little girl at ease and of course the piercing itself. Her ears have healed well, the after care advice was great!

Walked in for a couple piercings and had a super good experience. Ian works really quickly so I didn’t have to wait very long. He also made me feel really comfortable (I was nervous as it was my first piercings since I was a kid) and he matched my ears so perfectly. Everything is super clean and the price is awesome. I would definitely recommend

REVISION: I have been to Exposed Temptations many times since originally published, all with Mr. Luke Kimbrell as my tattoo artist, and wanted to highlight his excellent work with some new pictures and edits.

NOTE: Tattoo pictured is fresh, after first cleaning. It is not perfect because skin needs to heal and it needs care. It is exactly what I wanted though.

So, I was a walk-in, and was able to talk to an artist (Luke Kimbrell, an amazing guy) and get an estimate on cost and appointment time (he was in the middle of a beautiful addition to another person’s tattoo). Paid 50 bucks as a deposit, made an appointment for a few hours later, and he came out to say “hey, listen, I need to finish this tattoo” and to risk a commission for the sake of his art was incredible to me. I happily waited, he brought me back sooner than expected, kept great conversation and explained every step as it is my first tattoo. Even down to how he was centering on my arm based on bone placement. It was fantastic to learn and I trust him from the straight talk and great results.

For 100 bucks I got to get a tattoo the same day, with consult, tracing, education, and obviously the ink itself. I felt at home - no pressure to even leave a tip but for all his services gave Luke 30 bucks because it took something that could be anxious and unnerving and made it simple. I’ve worked with doctors who don’t have his bedside manner as it were.

I should say the whole team is excellent. The office manager was helpful, honest, and pretty funny; artists were happy to share their portfolios and hung out in the lobby with their clients, even suggesting coworkers who may be a better fit. It was a great atmosphere.

Highest recommendations for something that’s gonna be a permanent, especially if you that first time explanation of the process. Pain was nothing special, more like a moving mosquito bite.

Anyway, thank you Luke and the entire team! I have back many times, and pictures reflect it :)

I love their piercer and the artists that work there but the receptionist .... Just lost my business and went to a new spot all from her 10 second interaction. She is consistently rude
