I went to Mike for a double helix piercing and he was awesome! Very patient with me, good price, and he did a great job. It was hardly even sore the next day. Would definitely recommend!

Morgan is, hands down, the best artist I’ve ever worked with. Her bedside manner is awesome, she made me feel so comfortable, and her lettering is so amazing. Definitely coming back to work with her!!!!

fred was my artist. Originally went in and paid 600 outright for a tattoo. Went for the tattoo and it was his idea to set the tattoo out and finish it another day. When that day came he tried to make me pay an additional 200. So i asked him how much it would be to finish it and bring it across and do the aother side and his response was an additional 600, So i paid it outright. When the day of the appointment came he again decided to stop and set it out to finish the rest on another day. I asked that if we set it out would i have to pay again. He asked and made sure that so far i had given him a total of 1,200 and confirmed i wouldn't have to pay for the next tattoo session. At the next tattoo session he waited till we were all done and then charged me an additional 300. I didnt feel right just walking out of his business without paying what he wanted so i paid it.... The work is good but he ran me around and drained me of my money and that was not professional, especially when i paid outright for i wanted. not a deposit and then another later payment it was paid in full for what i wanted. He would give his word saying we were straight and then charge me more when i was in his chair. If you get anything done by him make sure its all finished that day and dont let him set anything out to finish it unless it is put on paper. He is not a man of his "word". When fred was confronted in person about the 300$ i was told per Fred that nothing could be done about it.

Mike is a rockstar at piercing. I had to take out my nose ring for work. It closed up and at my new job I can have it. So I went to him to get it pierced in the same spot. I explained to him that the original piercing sat cricked. He said no problem I will straighten it out so it sits flush. I was in and out in less then 5 minutes. Mike is fast and the ring sits flush on my nose now. I'm so glad to have my nose ring back. Thank you Mike for your awesome hospitality and good work.

This is probably my second negative review I’ve ever had to leave. I scheduled an all day session for today 2.5 weeks ago. I followed up last night confirming my appointment today. He sounded excited and ready to work. He let me know he’d send me the artwork he’s been working on later that night after he finished tattooing and sure enough it never came. 730 this morning I get a text saying he has to reschedule due to back pain he’d been experiencing all week. I really felt disrespected on Memorial Day weekend when I could be spending time doing other activities that he cancelled on me for pain he’d been experiencing for a week the day of. At least if the artwork was done maybe I could’ve been passed to another artist? I won’t be rescheduling here

Call before you go even after making an appointment. I made my appointment back on July 29th. My artist had an unexpected life moment happen and had to leave town which is understandable but, they never advised me of that an I took off work and wasted 30$ on a Uber to get to the location. I get things happen but this isn't like a hole in the wall place or a child lemonade stand. Everyone there runs their own appointment books which leaves room for things like this to happen. If they had a centralized appointment system they could let clients know of emergencies or if they need to send out a mass text or messages to clients they can do so. It's 2021 not hard. Probably wouldn't recommend to anyone or go again.

Made an appointment for a cover up. Due to Covid we had to reschedule, which is fine. He shows me what he wants to give me and I am very honest about it. He says he’ll give me something else and I give him a list of things I like.
Due to the fact I never put much thought on my piece, we decide to reschedule. I understand he was uncomfortable giving me something I wasn’t set on.
The day after I send a sketch and say this is what I want. He can change whatever he wishes. No response. That’s fine, people are busy. I try again about 3 separate times. I also tried to shoot an email. He said on his Instagram on his story he had a slot open and I tried to reach him then, figuring he’d be responsive but no luck.
I did call the shop and left a message but I never got a call back from Brian.
So I’m out $100 and never got to reschedule for my cover up.
It’s a shame because a co worker recommended this place and I loved her tattoo. Brian has a great portfolio. I’d love to try again but due to this experience I’m not sure if I could consider it a welcoming environment.
I am now going to pens and needles to get my cover up.
Thanks

So detailed and attentive. Fred listened to what I wanted in my tattoo and delivered flawlessly on this first stage- stoked about the next! If you want a real piece of art for your body this is the place. I was referred by a friend and after interviewing a few artists Fred(owner) was definitely the man for it. Environment is chill and comfortable with so much great art all around.

My fiancé and I both got tattoos done here today, and they both look amazing! We were in and out, and everyone was super nice! The place was very clean as well. Will definitely recommend, and will definitely be coming back for sure! Thanks Joe!

I went in to get my nose pierced and it was quick, sanitary and mike was super knowledgeable on what he does. It cost $40 and I was literally in and out in 10 min. It healed perfectly! So glad I stopped by
