Friendly Staff Great Quality

I had an awesome time! The owner and staff were all really kind and fun. They worked with me to choose the best design and placement for what I was looking to do. And the final tattoo looked great and the lines were very clean. I highly recommend getting your next tattoo here.

Unprofessional Poor Customer Service

Honestly the strangest experience. My piercer Kristy was obviously having a rough morning (understandable, happens to all of us). The front desk was super helpful and told me she was running late and helped me pick jewelry, offered water, etc. Kristy comes walking in cussing and explaining the morning she had to the front desk. Loudly. Even while they were trying to answer the phones. Again, I get it. But no acknowledgment of me (the client) just proceeds to share her personal business with the front desk. Then (25 min past my scheduled time at this point) she walks in the back and continues to vent very loudly for another 10+ minutes.
I wish she would have just come out, acknowledged me, respected my time, and asked for a moment to gather herself. Or taken the day off. Or asked me if I would like to reschedule. After continuing to hear her escalated and upset in the back, I decided this is not the person I want seeing me. (Most of us are a little nervous and look for calm and comfort in these situations).
Extra frustrating because now I have to go somewhere I didn’t have the piercing originally done. And I had such an AMAZINGLY professional and wonderful experience with Bennett who did my tattoo. But I won’t be returning to Collective.

I had a great experience here, I’ve gotten all of my facial piercings here and they have all healed perfectly. I came here to get my first tattoo with Lindsey and she did an amazing job. It is healing perfectly as well.
