Cool place and nice people, but I got a really bad tattoo and it was a very expensive, jacked up tattoo. I was warned about a particular tattooist, and I should have listened. Now I have a huge regret on my forearm. I don't recommend.

Had my nose pierced a few years ago but it closed up after having multiple surgeries that I had to take it out. Yesterday was hoping to get it redone but even though FB and everything said you were open, tried calling. I'm out about an hour from DL

I had a cover up done by Matt and it turned out AMAZING! Not only am I pleased with the work, but I love the people who work there. Everyone was so welcoming and fun to be around, they made me feel like I belonged. Thank you to all that I had the pleasure of laughing with, you guys are AWESOME..

I waited a long while before I got my newest tattoo. I knew exactly what I wanted when I booked the appointment at Skin Stories. In the end, my tat turned out perfect thanks to Vanna and Keeley. Vanna does amazing work and I love how she guarantees her work as well. I will be coming back and I suggest this Tattoo Parlor to everyone I know! Vanna learned from Tank, who will always be a legend in this town....and in a few years, Vanna will be a legend of her own here in our little town. Thanks Vanna and staff for the ink.

Matt and the entire staff were so fun and caring. Thanks to all of you for going the extra mile to take such great care of Glenda and show us such kindness.

Vanna is an incredible artist! I went to her to get my very first tattoo a few years ago, and now she has done 4/8 of my tattoos! I just give her an idea and let her run with it. It is truly a honor to wear her artwork! Now that my half sleeve is finished, I'm excited to start work on my chest piece!!! The only reason she hasn't done all of my tattoos is because I was living in the cities for a period of time, but now that I'm back in the area I will go to no one else for tattoos! Matt has done a majority of my piercings, and they all came out PERFECT!!! Vanna and her crew have my highest recommendation. The environment is clean, comfortable, and friendly. Definitely a go to place for your first and many tattoos to come ♡
