Awesome place, super rad staff that meshes as a family. I walked in on a spur of the moment while my kids were out of town with an idea and Ashley took it and ran with it! We just hopped right in as she had time and her work is amazing!!

My husband booked a full sleeve to be done in multisession we left a 300$ deposit, we booked with Clayton. we showed up on the day of the appointment 2/23/2023 and we are informed that the artist left for the day due to health problems, they did not call or inform us of this and my husband paid $60 worth of numbing cream from their shop, that he applied the cream 90 minutes prior to the appointment. My husband schedule kept changing so we ask for our money back considering we did not cancel or no show the appointment. They refused to give the deposit back so we will be filling in small claims court to get our money back, hopefully this will cause a change in their policy.

I had the initials of my grandchildren added to a current tattoo, the Helm of Awe, and the time and initials of my stillborn grandson. It was over so fast I barely had time to enjoy it! The additions are perfect! This parlor has a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Very clean and professional. This will be my reminder of the time I drove to Kansas, 15 hours, to see my daughter and grandchildren.

Call close encounters tattoo and spoke to a gentleman who said I could come in and buy a labret Piercing because I needed it for my piercer because she ran out of the length that I needed came in and was told I needed to wait an hour to talk to the piercer came in another hour later and was told that the piercer does not sell her jewelry unless she was the one doing the piercing. I got Medusa for $60 at twisted Apple and in close encounters was charging $80.
Poor communication between workers and definitely more expensive than Twisted Apple and I would highly recommend twisted apple over them because my piercer was super nice and understand to me and she’s done 4 piercings on me

I gave Andrea a very general idea of what I wanted and let her work her artistic genius. She did an incredible job and I am so happy with how my tattoo turned out! Thank you Andrea! I will be coming back soon for another one.

Would rather infect staff and possible clients with Covid then reschedule an appointment and not steal $50.

Daniel did an amazing job with me and my friend's tattoo. It was her first time and he did great at making her feel comfortable. He was really quick but it still came out amazing and really cute. I'm going to see him again this month for another tattoo! The vibe was laid back and comfortable. Reasonably priced as well.

Called to find out if they charged to have a Tragus piercing removed and the guy on the phone told me it would cost $40 to remove the piercing, which is absolutely asinine!! I can see charging like $10, but 40?!?! I called around to the shops in Manhattan and they ALL said they would remove it for free. It will cost me less than $40 to drive from JC to Manhattan and back.
