I got a piercing from Sarah. She was at the front desk when I entered and was not very friendly or helpful. I did not realize she would be the same person giving me the piercing or I would have probably left at that point. She did not explain anything. She seemed like she was new. She even dropped the ball tip of the jewelry. Blood was running down my face which made me lightheaded and even then all she did was bring out a fan and give me water. She did not comfort me at all. She did not explain after care or offer the cleaning solution to purchase. She cashed me out and then left for lunch before I was even feeling back to normal. I talked to another guy who I bought the saline solution from and he was the same way. Not friendly or helpful, seemed like he did not care to help me or be there and did not seem knowledgeable about the product or service. All he kept saying was " Read the paper, it will tell you." I do not recommend and will not ever go back there.

Sarah is, hands down, my favorite piercer. She never makes you feel bad when it hurts, she’s always checking in to make sure you’re doing okay, and she never makes you feel stupid for asking questions. She’s the absolute best.

I got my very first tattoo here, in memory of my grandpa who just passed away earlier this year. I was a walk in and they got me in immediately. Linsey, the artist, made sure my tattoo was just what I wanted and also made sure that it was perfectly straight on my arm. She also took the time to reassure me when I was nervous just before we started. I LOVE how my tattoo ended up! I will definitely be returning!!

Doug is such an amazing tattoo artist. Coming from someone who has gotten artwork other places but never really connected with the artist himself, I have never felt more comfortable being in the chair with doug! He always has my best interest and makes sure I am in love with what I’m getting, he takes his time! I just couldn’t recommended anyone else to go to! thank you doug, I will be a customer forever!

Emily was the bomb and made me feel so comfortable with my piercing! She made it easy and painless when I’m usually terrified of needles. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
