I have called their office 4 times on different days, and left a message for Rob. I still haven't heard back. I went there in march and although I loved my tattoo, I am very frustated with the fact that the artist hasn't found 3 minutes out of his day to return my phone call. ROB IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE THIS ... I have been calling Vanity tattoo to let you know that I would like a touch up. I went in there in march & I didn't call sooner because It took me a while to heal as i had an allergic reaction to the pink ink. my tat is now better but there are spots where you can totally tell were never touch by the needle, so I would like to get it fixed, It is my understanding that i have 6 months to return for a retouch.

We’ve been here several times for simple piercings and always get exceptional customer service, everyone is always very nice and accommodating, the piercers are amazing and we’ve never had any issues. They explain everything and despite always having customers doing larger business they respect our time and needs. I would recommend over anywhere else!

I've been meaning to get a tattoo in honor of my son for quite some time now. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE recommended Vanity Tattoo. I walked in and immediately felt welcome. Nano gave me great suggestions and even drew up my tattoo in his own script. He did an incredible job. My tattoo looks absolutely AMAZING! I cannot wait to show it off. I am in love with it. Definitely will recommend Vanity Tattoo to anyone and everyone.
-YOU GUYS ARE GREAT :)

Worst experience I have ever had at a tattoo shop. My sister and I went in the shop today
to get information on a small tattoo that we each wanted to get to remember our mother. She passed away on 10/7/18 & her memorial service was today. This idea my sister and I had was spur of the moment but the website says walk-ins are welcome. Well, we walked in and there were zero customers in the shop. We thought we would have no problem getting this done today as a walk-in. First words that came out of Jeff's mouth were "I don't have any availability today." So I decided to ask him if he could draw something up for me real quick so I could decide if I wanted to schedule an appointment for the following day. He said no about drawing up a design. I brought in a small pin my mother wore. I really wanted an idea of the size design we would be working with. Then he quoted a price before ever showing us what he could draw up for us and never even offered to show us any of his work. He said the soonest he would be able make us an appointment would be for the following day. Again, I was uncomfortable requesting an appointment when I was never shown what sort of work he could do for us. I told him I will think about this but asked what time I should call back so that I could secure the earliest appointment for the following day. He told me the earlier the better because he was planning on leaving early tonight. I completely understand about having to close up early, however, I was put off by every question or interaction that was had between us. I'm not quite sure he understood the sentimental value of trying to get these tattoos done on such a special day for our family. Needless to say we went to a different shop that we had used multiple times. Immediately the artist drew up the exact design that we were hoping for. And got to work on us right away. I am so happy we decided to go to the other shop and get exactly what we wanted. And I did not feel like a bother like I did at Vanity Tattoo. I only decided to try your shop because your location is very close to me. However, I am so disappointed in my experience I am 100% certain I will never step foot in your shop again. And when my friends ask me for a recommendation, I will make sure to tell them whatever they decide stay away from Vanity Tattoo.

Jeff did an amazing tattoo for my sister and I. We got matching tattoos. Great price and the quality of his tattoos are unbelievable. I am planning on getting a sleeve done and he will be my guy for that. Highly recommended.

My experience, I went to get a tattoo on my birthday and I asked one of the workers if they could do it for me; he said he didn't do detailed tattoos and suggested me to go with another worker in the shop named Alex . The "Artist" said he would try his best so it would look similar. I don't want to make this story long so I endend up with a tatto that looked nothing similar to the original one. He charged me $180 for 5 mini birds that look like flying triangles, my feather doesn't have shape, the lines look like he was shaking while doing it & the letters on my tattoo look like a 10 year old wrote them. When he showed me the sketch, I thought it would look way better when he would do it. Looking at the reviews after getting it, this isn't the first bad review that they write about him . Supposedly he guarantees his work , he chargers me to fix it for the terrible work . Sadly I can't post a picture of it 🤷🏻♀️.

Just got a piercing done at vanity and I just wanted to say that Johnny was awesome!! He went above and beyond making sure I was comfortable and taking care of me when I passed out. Seriously thank you, I highly recommend going to Johnny for a piercing!

Today was my first time going to this place. I got 2 ear piercings done by Alex. He was very professional, clean, and precise. My piercings turned out exactly how I wanted. And the prices here are more reasonable than any other place I did research on.
