Staff was very rude. Little to no selection for piercing.

It used to be great, but now it's horrible. Artists are horrible jerks - one being Shaun. He did a crap a tattoo that he wanted to charge me $300 and when I said it needs to be fixed to look like the photo we drew up, he got angry and wouldn't do it until I paid him. I did and he wouldn't touch it because it was too late. I ended up having another tattoo artist fix it up for me at a different location, which was so nice. He even laughed at the outrageous price. My friend also recently went there and they THREW her drawing at her and said let's go. He legit THREW it at her. It's bull vrap there now. Don't go -- wait to go to people who own up to work, price, and manners

I went in, nervous as hell about getting my lip pierced. I was calmed down almost immediately by the awesome receptionist whose name I didn't catch, we sat and talk to her while we waited to be pierced. And my piercer, Mike French, was top notch. Super easy to talk to, really easy going and always cracking jokes. A gentle yet steady hand, all I felt was a "pinch and a pull," as my sister in law put it. Clean and friendly environment, great displays, an awesome experience overall. I know where I'm going for my next piercing!

I have been to Omega Red three times. Twice for piercings and once for a tattoo. The first time I got my eyebrow done, but it got badly infected (not the shops fault) and I had to have a professional remove the jewelry. The professional told me the jewelry was of very low quality. The second time, I got my philtrum pierced. The person that pierced it didn't tighten the jewelry enough and the jewelry fell out that same night. I went to a different place to have it redone, and it turns out that the person who pierced me originally had the placement wrong.
My tattoo experience was good. They were a bit expensive, but not bad.
I've talked to someone who used to work there, and they left because of the piercing practices.

I’ve been coming here for several years for my piercings and i’m never disappointed. Wade is the only person in town I trust with my piercings and I also love how professional, clean and quick the services are.

Got my nose pierced there and they had a very nice studio, used clean needles and stud, answered all my questions and the whole process took under five minutes. Highly recommend!

Over priced for mediocre work. I have multiple tattoos and went here for one of them. It ranks the lowest out off all my experiences. The tattoo artist was very full of himself and disrespectful. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Wait a little bit to get in with a good tattoo artist. If you can get in within a day or two, the tattoo artist isn't very good. Don't go here. That's all I have to say.

I came here with the intent of getting a tattoo. The tattoo artist turned down all of my ideas and talked to me in a condescending way. After getting so many negative vibes from him, I decided I didn't want him to tattoo me anyway. I decided to get a piercing instead (my first other than ear lobes), and the piercing guy was super nice and did a great job. The two stars are for the piercing guy (would have rated him five if not rating the whole shop), the tattoo guy would have gotten zero stars.

Will never be back. My tongue bar is side ways. They repeirced it and it was still side ways. I ended up giving up on them giving me a straight tongue piercing. When I got it done I didnt have to sign any papers my ID was not checked and I was given minimal care instructions.
