Roman pierced my nipples and did an amazing job, he took his time and did not make me feel rushed with the process at all. He took his time with my questions and understood my circumstances and was letting me decide if it was what I really wanted to get done. He also did two of friends nipples as well and they said nothing but good things to say about him. If you want someone to trust, go with Roman. He is NOT a creep, doesn’t make you feel rushed and lets you ask any questions you may have. Thanks Roman!

Tried to schedule an appointment with Lola, she flaked. I reached out to the shop who apologized and then I was assured she wouldn’t flake on the next consult FaceTime.
Surprise surprise, she flaked and didn’t even answer the receptionist who tried to get ahold of her. She pulled a similar thing on a friend of mine, actually skipping a session and not just a consult call.
Definitely not impressed and going to have to find a different shop to go to.

My friends and I -a group of 6; we’re all Black- came in to accompany one of our friends who wanted to get a tattoo to celebrate his birthday. We thought that since we’re all together and celebrating our friend’s new feat in life it’d be cool to be there alongside him and support him as he gets inked. However, we were told our friend could not bring us inside the room with him.
We asked if we could wait in the lobby and we were told no because we’d be occupying too much space in the lobby because the tattoo parlor was “busy.” However, there were not that many people in the spot and it was near deathly silent. Also, there was a group of white girls -a group of 3- who had made an appointment and they were all allowed to go in with their friend.
Not only is this racist, but it is utterly disrespectful because we were respectful in our interactions and were willing to pay the bloviated price of $200 for a simple “3” in Roman numerals. I’m completely disturbed by this and I think your white woman (the one with the red hair) receptionist needs to check her biases and behavior because in this day and age, it’s unacceptable to treat us as though we exist in the 60s. Y’all need to get it together and do better.

I came in for a simple tattoo of my birthyear. The tattoo was a dark blue/indigo shade. But after a few weeks the tattoo was completely faded and the numbers are not shaded in solidly. I was told my dark skin was the problem and that I chose a "bright" color. The artist admitted she may have overworked the tattoo. I came in for a touch up after spending more than 3 weeks trying to get scheduled. The receptionist were rude and ignored my emails and did not return my calls.
It seems these artists don't know how to work on dark skin which is sad since their shop is in a predominantly black and Latino neighborhood.

Horrible place. They just want your money. I fell ill and could not attend my appointment and asked for a refund because it was out of my control; they said no because it’s “shop policy”, which is incredibly ableist. I lost $100 over this. PLEASE go somewhere else.

They’re extremely unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable and unwanted. My small tattoo had so much blowout, they did a terrible job. Please spend your hard earned money somewhere else

Fantastic place for first time clients!! I got a Helix piercing and I was super nervous about the pain and my piercer, Matt, was THE BEST. The whole place is super clean and sterile especially now with Covid. Staff is so nice and comforting and they made its great first experience for me. 110% recommend for anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing !!!

Roman pierced my nose quickly & painlessly. He was professional, kind and SO fast. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I didn’t even have time to be nervous! My piercing looks great and I will definitely be coming back to him for all future piercings. The shop is very clean and all the staff are friendly!

Do not trust this place to get any piercings! They are very inconsiderate with you if you don’t have a high knowledge of piercings prior to visiting their shop. If you have questions about the process, don’t bother asking as it seems to be a burden to them. They will rush you in and out of their shop while giving you a non-sanitized, low quality piece of jewelry (for a high price) save your time, money & health by going to a different shop.

I got my nose piercing done here, and it was done incredibly quick. Also currently had my naval piercing fall out and bleed a lot. I couldn’t get it back in, but luckily Dani helped me out once again, incredibly fast, and didn’t charge me a penny. Great place and I hear very good things about their tattooing skills
