I got my nose done and the piercer was amazing and so nice. He talked through the whole process step by step and had me so comfortable. I highly recommend them! Also love that they support the gay community ❤️ Much love!

What can I say? A LOT!! Charlie, Natalie,Roth,Kylie and the crew make you feel warm and welcome from the moment you step in the door. The tattoo artists here are INCREDIBLE, and they go out of their way to make you comfortable and to make sure you are getting EXACTLY what you want. Natalie and the gang in the salon are phenomenal at their jobs,and you will leave feeling like the God or Goddess that you are. I truly cannot say enough good things about the experience you will have at Pinups & Needles!

Charlie was AMAZING! Great guy, and GREAT work. Had the straightest tattoo lines I've have done on me. My wife's and my tattoos turned out amazing and we will definitely be going to him from now on for ink!

Great experience getting my ear pierced by Allie! I was a bit nervous with the safety and Covid - but they are doing an amazing job with safety and taking temperatures and sanitizing all the time ! Would definitely recommend !!

My sister and I had piercings done by Natalie, I would highly recommend her to anyone! She was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience very pleasant.

Charles did wedding bands for my wife and I, it was absolutely worth the 3.5 hour drive to Traverse City. I've already scheduled my next tattoo with him.

Great people, great service! Natalie listens to what you want and gives you gorgeous locks. Bee was so gentle with my daughters piercings!

The absolute best experience in a shop ever! Professional, clean and the friendliest staff ever! Super sterile, I would recommend it to everyone! Don't go anywhere else 😎

We were a walk in and they were amazing. Charles was so easy to talk to and nice. He made us comfortable and was able to squeeze us in for honeymoon tattoos! This will not be the last time we visit.

Got my ears pierced. Jeremy did an awesome job. Very clean and professional, also helpful with looking at a previous piercing. I will definitely be back again.
