Mat-Su Tattoo & Body Piercing

Rocky is such a great guy! 10/10 recommend him!

This place is great! I got my daughters ears pierced here, very friendly, clean. She did so well and I was so glad I found a place that would pierce her ear lobs, shes 4. Nobody in Anchorage would when I called around. Needle piercing not a gun piercing!

The place does have some motorcycles around. I was skeptical when I went in, because I thought it was the wrong place.

It's been months and my daughters ears have no infections!

The guy was very friendly and super fast I will definitely return for any other piercings.

Long story short - terrible experience and worst tattoo I have now.

My cousin and I called this place since they were the only ones open around the area at the time. We went in to share our simple ideas. Just a couple cartoon swords. This man looked at them and said they would be difficult and gave us a price of $150 each. I have many tattoos and when I heard that this guy was thinking these tiny cartoon drawings would be difficult, I was concerned. We talked the price down to $125 each (still absurd). I’ve gotten really great quality tattoos before that charged $100 per hour. These cartoon swords should have not taken more than 40 minutes each. We were there for nearly 2.5 hours. I understand tattoos are charged differently with different times of completion, materials used, etc. With this being such an easy piece and it not requiring a lot of time, I can understand an upscale in price from a business standpoint. However, I’ve also had bigger tattoos that took less time with much more detail and charge only $80. I don’t know, maybe it’s an Alaskan thing.

They didn’t have any spots for the night so we booked an appointment for the next day. My cousin goes first and gets hers completed quickly, but you can definitely see how terrible of a job he did with the outlines. I go next and get the same botched outline and the color doesn’t even fill the inside to the edges. Along with the terrible tracing and coloring skills, we were interrupted not once, not twice, but three times so the artist could go pierce other customers. I don’t know what the point was of scheduling an appointment if multiple customers are getting served during my session. It wasn’t just an individual each time, it was a group of friends. The third time we had to persuade him that we didn’t have time for him to serve all these other customers because I had to catch a plane soon after. Regardless of my flight, we shouldn’t had to persuade someone that we’ve booked a tattoo appointment with to finish our tattoos. Once he came back to finish mine, it was very clear he was in a rush to get us out as quick as possible, which led to even more terrible qualities. A month later is when I took the second picture. I’m still healing from it...

I’ve seen some of the other work that this man has done and I’m still impressed. He was clearly distracted that night and just didn’t deliver.

DO NOT GO FOR TATTOOS. He does piercings just fine, well even. But I 100% regret sitting in His chair for a tat. I got a simple line tattoo with a friend and he botched both of ours. I thought maybe my friends was messed up because she was squirming the whole time how ever, i didn’t move. He has a heavy hand and he made very distinct mistakes on my tattoo that I’m going to have to get fixed now and will not he by him. He’s only getting two stars because of the piercing i got. It was a smooth clean process and healing well.

Rocky was really nice. I went there for a helix almost 2years ago. And just got my nose done. Both were super quick and fast 10/10 recommend ☺️☺️

Rocky tattooed me and pierced my nose. He did an excellent job! He perfectly executed what i wanted and was very patient and professional the entire time that I was in his shop. Highly recommend!

Got my tongue pierced here two weeks ago and it was painless and super easy. Came in as a walk-in and was out in about ten minutes, super nice and clean. I have had no problems with my piercing and even the healing process was fast and not much swelling. Will definitely recommend this place and go again if i ever decide to get something else pieced.

My mom and I went in today to get our noses pierced. Walk-Ins are welcome and Rocky was great! He answered all of our questions, his establishment is clean, he took proper precautions, and was a great conversationalist. My mom and I had a great time and we left feeling comfortable. We both highly recommend his work. Thanks Rocky!

I got 3 piercings here a lip,nose,and chest dermal. The guy was very nice and sanitary. A week after I got them done i couldn't untwist my lip ring to change it out. I walked in and he did it for me right away. The very next day I pulled out my dermal on accident half way out. Again without notice I showed up and he fixed it at no cost. Thank you so much very friendly and understanding.
