I have 3 ear piercings on each ear and have wanted my septum done for some time but I was honestly really hesitant because of how often my ears get infected. I’d heard good things abt tatoo Charlies and decided to go. it was quick and clean my piercer did an amazing job she was fast and my nose hasn’t even hurt since. She was polite and I had such a good experience im thinking of coming back for a few more ear piercings definitely will recommend this place to anyone who asks!

I feel like the prices on piercings are a little to high, and the person doing the piercing could have tried to be more personable. She did a good job, but refusing to take a walk-in when you're not busy is bad business. You just don't feel welcomed, even with a appointment. 😟

I went to run in and purchase a nose ring. I was told I couldn't come in without an appointment and the piercer had already left by 445 on a Friday. Very un helpful and not professional. I was not able to make the simplest purchase. I will not be going back again

I can’t say enough good things about Tattoo Charlie’s and the owner, Buddy. I recently decided to re-pierce my tragus and easily set up an appointment with Jessika. The studio is ultra clean (best I’ve ever been to) and makes you feel really safe, even with COVID. They ask all sorts of questions upfront to keep you and other clients safe. Jessika was professional and is a top-notch piercer. The aftercare instructions were clear and helpful - and they even provide aftercare products. Highly recommend!

The staff and the environment were wonderful. I got my septum pierced by Jess who was the absolute sweetest! Will definitely be returning for future piercings.

Stephen did an awesome job making sure the placement of my tattoo was on point! It took 4 tries but he wanted to make sure it was perfect. I was super thankful that Buddy worked with me on using a gift certificate from Christmas 2019 since the world got crazy with Covid. Stephen did great making sure I felt comfortable with everything from how my pain was to taking the time to clean before we started. Thanks again Stephen for the great artwork! I’m stoked!

It's always amazing to go here! Never had a bad experience with anyone. The piercers (Jess and Jess) are the coolest around and both artists I have been to are the best of the best (Darin and Stephen). I will always come

I will never go anywhere else! Darin has worked with me over the years to give me my dream tattoos. He gave me the opportunity to cover up bad memories and create new ones and rock some gorgeous pieces of art. Every artist is phenomenal and you can’t go wrong at Charlie’s. 🥰
