I went to get my septum ring changed and the gold hoop that they used was cheap and ended up tarnishing within months. It was expensive for the poor quality of jewelry. Not really sterile process either

I would love to give this place 5 stars based on my experience, shopen environment, and custom service. However they lost 2 stars based on my experience after leaving the shop. The staff there are very friendly, they have up to date technology as far as signing in, and they had a really awesome Playlist going. The look and feel of the shop was great. The piercer was great. Very friendly and showed care in helping me pick a functional place for my upper cartilage/outter helix piercing. Everything was great until I got home. I went to do a usual sea salt cleaning and discovered that a BUTTERFLY back piece was used for a brand new piercing. I was a little dismayed by this, but so far I hadn't experienced any problems so I brushed it off. The back piece soon became an irritant due to my glasses. The piercing in general became more irritated, red, and inflamed even after sea salt soaks. I believe this is because it was not quality grade jewelry. I have a metal allergy and I have never been to a piercing place that used anything less than surgical steel or titanium to do aNY type of piercing. This caused me a great deal of pain and discomfort to the point that I had to have the jewelry removed after less than a week of having it. My advice would be to ask more questions when getting piercings here, especially if you have any type of sensitivities.

I’ve done 2 ear piercing at Embassy Tattoo. Staff is nice, placed is clean and decent price. Also, you don’t have to pay extra for the jewelry.

I was a walk-in. The front desk girl was awesome. She kept going back to the artists to discuss what I wanted, pricing, etc. Waited about an hour. Finally linked up with Tim. These were my 4th and 5th tats. Other two were at Fatty's and Tattoo Paradise. I'll never get another tattoo NOT from Tim.
He talked through the design. Gave me a fair price for his skill set, and took his time getting everything straight, from the sitting arrangements, to the lighting, to even buying ME a bottle of fancy water. Their equipment is top notch (unlike Tattoo Paradise) and their aftercare advice is how you can Really judge a tattoo place. They use Saniderm, which is a skin specific bandage for healing unlike the SARAN WRAP most places use. Most importantly, Tim guarantees his work and has a free touch-up policy. ESPECIALLY if you want a photo or realism tattoo.

I got two somewhat small tattoos on both of my wrists (see pictures). I love my new tattoo, but i really wish i went somewhere else or got another artist. Everyone was chill and things were exciting until the nice lady at the front desk came back and gave us the price estimate for $200 for each wrist. I was reluctant but i paid anyways. Things were not off to a good start, but i was getting my first tattoos so i was happy.
Then my artist showed up, tyler. He seemed chill at first, and that helped me get rid of my nervousness. However, things went downhill when i asked if my friend could come back with me and he said no. My friend has several tattoos and i was hoping to have someone to talk to and comfort me. He rudely told my friend and i that he didnt want anyone else there.
I walk back to his area and attempt to have a nice conversation with him, but he blows me off. When i pulled my phone out to give me a distraction, he told me not to use it because it would interfere with his work. At this point i was upset, but i still wanted to get this tattoo.
He told me that he was going to start doing a stencil, and then he started listening to music on his headphones and just went to work. He didnt offer any kind of extra information like what kind of needle he was using.
After a while, it started to hurt pretty bad, so i grabbed my knee and squeezed to help distract myself from the pain on my wrists. Tyler tells me not to do that either.
So im sitting there for an hour and a half suffering without a thing to do except look at the floor.
My tattoo couldve been done for $120 anywhere else and it would look just as good, and the artist would have been much nicer.
If youre looking for a cheap tattoo, or a fun experience, go somewhere else.
Other than tyler, everyone else that ive met there has been really nice and kind. The studio is very clean and looks nice. I hate to give such a bad rating to such a high quality tattoo shop, but i was overcharged for an uncomfortable experience.
TL;DR: Dont get tyler as an artist if you are looking for a nice experience.

Great Store! Store is clean with a very friendly and chill staff. I got my nose pierced here for their Tuesday specials and their piercer was very professional and listened to what I wanted. Will def go back and do service with them again!

Their artist flaked and didn’t show for two consultations and made up an excuse after no-showing for an actual appointment. The receptionist didn’t care at all. Wouldn’t recommend Lola or the shop at this point

Everyone was professional and wore masks. The piercer was very upbeat and outgoing. He worked quick. You saw him setup everything he used so you knew it was sterile.

I went there to get matching tattoos with my best friend who was visiting from out of town. The place was easy to find even though it was a walk up (it is not accessible for folks in wheelchairs as far as I could tell). The place is small but very very clean and recently renovated. The receptionist was super nice and helpful, she even remembered that we called earlier in the day.
My friend and I signed the forms quickly (they are on computers which is super convenient) while our artist drew the design. Fabrezio (Zetir on Instagram) was able to make a really blurry picture of a stick and poke into something beautiful we both loved! He was really nice and the tattos were quick and mostly painless. Probably 20 minutes at most.
Overall it was a really pleasant experience and I have already recommended the place to my friends. I plan to come back for my next tattoo.

I got a tattoo on my back I paid $800 for it I was supposed to get color but it took hours to do an the shop was closing so I had to come back. I never got it done the guy that I paid to do the tattoo went out of town the next day so they said. an I called an he stop answering. So I never got my color done. Half done tattoo for $800 I want my money back.
