Pain For Sale

Awesome job. Everyone at the shop was very friendly and open to my ideas. Artist has great skill, got me right in and didn't cost an arm/leg. I will definitely be coming back

Quality artists who care about what they are doing. Walk ins and appointments accepted. Most work for tattoos will be done off appointment as these people get really busy. Tattoo artists care about your experience a long with your health and safety. They do travel for seminars for continued education.

Piercing staff is of the highest caliber in the state. They have attended multiple classes, seminars, and workshops presented by world class and renowned Piercers and medical professionals. They are the only Piercers in the entire state that have qualified to become members of the Association Of Professional Piercers. Their jewelry is of the highest quality, implant grade, gold, internally threaded/threadless, and only sell material sourced and made in US jewelry.

Brady did my first tattoo and it came out perfect! He has crazy good lettering talent and line work was spot on, definitely recommend and will come back again for my next one!

I've had John Balk complete two piercings in my ears and each time I have been beyond impressed by his professionalism and his thoroughness. John took the time to be patient and explain his piercing technique and took the time to make sure the environment was sterile and safe. He is funny during the experience to lighten the mood and keep the entire process right were it needs to be. At this point, I would chose John Balk for all my piercing needs. I am beyond impressed!

Sabrina was an awesome piercer! So glad I found someone part of the APP! Well worth the drive from Rapid City for someone that knows what she is doing, is gentle, has implant grade jewelry, and a sanitary work space.

Darren did a great job. Took his time clean lines. Amazing color and shading. I’ll be back as soon as I’m in town again. Also....was a great price for the quality and size I got. Thanks bro! -Lucas

One of the best tattoo shops I've ever been to. Vince did a great job on my ribcage peice. Their hours are great too for those of us working long hours.

My friends and I went in to get a small one-inch tattoo. One of the artists said that it would be a quick job but the only artist available wouldn’t be in until after lunch. While we waited, we filled out the liability forms. She came in around 6 pm and said that she could “totally do it,” and that it would be “super quick,” but that we had to come in at 8:30 pm because she had an appointment at 6:30 pm. Therefore, we left, walked around the town a bit and got dinner. Around 8:20 pm, we walked into the shop, only to run into her walking out with who we assumed to be her “6:30 appointment.” She said, and I quote, “I really wish I had gotten your numbers so that I could have called to say that I wouldn’t be able to get all three of you finished tonight.” Had she paid a little closer attention, she would have seen that our contact information was on the liability form AND on the email containing the photo of the piece we wanted, which she clearly opened since she commented on “what a cool piece it was.” We wasted two hours for an artist who clearly did not value our time and business. If I could give this artist a direct rating, I totally would. Unfortunately, I cannot, therefore, the tattoo shop will be receiving it instead.

John Balk was amazing at piercing my lip! Have had it done before with terrible experience! Quick and easy! Definitely would recommend!

I recently got a tattoo from here and after a bad experience from Felony Ink I was hesitant to get another tattoo here in town. I am glad I went, not only was the staff super friendly, but the shop was clean. I am happy I went here to get my tattoo and will be getting another one from here again.
