Old West Tattoo

I had Cooley for my second appointment (about a month prior to this review) to get nipple piercings. He was kind, informative, and very reassuring to me as was Ana during my first visit.

Unfortunately, while one piercing was correctly done at the base of the nipple and looks great without complication, the other piercing was done too deeply into my areola (as noted by another APP certified piercer). To quote him, he said he'd "never seen anything like it in his years of piercing" when he saw how my areola began swallowing part of the ball. The flesh had begun protruding out of the piercing area so I ultimately decided on removing the faulty piercing as of today.

I am sure others can and will definitely have a good experience here at Old West Tattoo, but I've lost a lot of my confidence here due to my recent experience and respectfully can not personally recommend this for nipple piercings.

For the management, I am willing to provide proof of what happened and can provide contact information to the piercer I mentioned in this review.

I love this place. Cooley is hands down the best piercer around. I had surgery and had to take alllllll of my piercings out. Lame he saw me the day before and changed all my hoops to posts so I could easily remove them right before my surgery. After my surgery (literally an hour after) he got me right in to put all my hoops back in. Quality of jewelry is the best. Atmosphere is the best and Cooley is the bestest! Will never go anywhere else! Thanks Old West

I went there a couple years back for a nose piercing. Mind you I have had my ears pierced so many times bc they always got infected (probs bc I went to Claire’s 😐). So I was nervous abt my nose being a bad experience but it has been my BEST piercing!! Ana did an amazing job! I am forever thankful for it! Now time to go back and get my tattoo!

Walked up as they were having an anniversary special with food out side. I asked what was going on, whats the specials , pricing and services. The employees looked at me with a dead stare, Deer in the head lights. Thought I was being bunked. Thought It was a tiktok prank . So uncomfortable . I asked again two more times, they looked at me with disgust, like why was I even there. Maybe its a race thang JUST SAYING!!! The environment is not welcoming to outsiders. If you bring up anything wrong with this place you are the problem. No apology nothing. They attack you if you bring up the name. Keep my country aaaa name out yo mothalovin mouth. This place is so rude hahaha Go else where , customer service is trash

UPDATE :

Management called me entitled, which is so funny. I’m entitled because I asked for pricing. God forbid , pricing is only for the inner circle. Ok maybe it’s not a race thing that means they were “ LIT “. These dudes were on planet caravan bruh. So lit didn’t even know I was there . Why get a tattoo from someone so gone. Manager proves my point of not welcoming strangers. He attacked me. Just read his response. Reminds me of Amy’s baking company hahaha you are the problem not Amy ……. Ok daaaaang , my bad . I’ll never ask for pricing again with my entitled aaaa

Got my third tattoo here about 2 weeks ago. I absolutely love this shop. I always feel so welcomed and comfortable. My artist has been Sam. He is so detailed and I’ve gotten so many compliments on my tattoos that he’s done. The shop is always clean when I’ve gone. Making an appointment has always been super easy but they also take walk ins as well!

This is my absolute favorite tattoo shop I have ever been to. Everyone is so nice and does amazing tattoos. I have been there for 10 of my tattoos and never once hsve had a bad experience. The tattoos always turn out gorgeous and heal without issues. Ive been pierced there before and its evident that everyone there cares about producing phenomenal tattoos and piercings. If i could give higher than 5 stars i would

One of the best piercing experiences I've ever had! I have an existing nose piercing that I haven't had jewelry in for a few months, and I walked in and they helped me choose from a great selection and decide between a couple. So knowledgeable and nice, I will definitely be going back to get new piercings.

This shop is amazing! I’ve been tattooed/pierced by this shop for the past 7 years and followed them when they switched to the new location at old west tattoo! Not only are the quality of the tattoos amazing, but the overall experience as well. If you want a shop that is clean and professional this is the one! I’ve been tattooed by Aaron, Joey, Taylor, and Sam and their work never lets me down. Cooley has also done a piercing on me and is great at his work. This shop is amazing and i always recommend people get their tattoos/piercings done here.

Been following them for years! Their shop cleanliness, professionalism, and staff keeps me coming back. This shop is filled with awesome people. Aaron, Owen, Nick, Sam, Tayler, Drake, Joey, Ana, Cooley and James are fantastic! I’ve been tattooed by just about everyone in there. I’d say they’ve done about %90 of the work that’s on my body and I don’t see myself going anywhere else anytime soon. I don’t have any piercings but Cooley, Ana, and Nick would be my go to if I were to get one!! Much love to Old West Tattoo & Piercing for your killer staff, tattoos, and services. See you guys soon

I got my first tattoo today (actually got two) and everyone there made me feel so safe and comfortable! Drake did an amazing job and made sure to triple check that everything was perfect. I’m never going anywhere else to get tattoos. Thank you guys for making my first experience amazing and something i’ll never forget. :)
