I LOVE Black Coffin Tattoo! I’ve gotten all but one of my tattoos done here and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. It’s a super rad and clean atmosphere and their prices are extremely reasonable.

I connected with Garrett around the start of the Coronapocalypse and have been happy at every step. He is a master of his craft and customer service pro. He wowed me with a cover-up and I'm continuing to re-book with him after each session. I've always felt comfortable with the cleanliness and safety of the facility and staff. Everyone seems incredibly talented, plus many have their own unique styles, so it's not all spooky ink all the time. (Although they do that well, too!) It's a fantastic shop. I'd enthusiastically recommend Black Coffin to anyone who asks.

My daughter got a nose piercing. It was sanitary and they did a good job-quick and efficient.

The staff is super friendly and my tattoo artist Johnny Hardcore did an amazing job and I'll definitely be going back to have him do my next tattoo real soon. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo. And it was super clean and made you feel comfortable from the second you walk through the door.

Long story of my wild ride of getting a tattoo:
I was attempting to get a tattoo done with Dee. I initially saw her work online and thought she'd be great to do a floral coverup tattoo. We didn't necessarily have a consult like most places typically do to discuss wants or ask questions. Though through email we established we were going to do some flowers and they would be larger than my current tattoo. (Understandable) She specializes in black/gray work, which I thought was great, I assumed the tattoo would be black. Though this was not discussed.
Ok, tattoo day. I arrived at my appointment time that morning, she was not there due to car trouble. We rescheduled for later that afternoon at 3pm. Ok cool. I did not receive any confirmation that we were still doing the appointment at 3pm, at about 2:30 so I called the shop to confirm. The person who answered said she wasn't in for the day. I stated I had an appointment at 3 and he said he'd contact her. I called back maybe 10 minutes later and they said appointment was still on. Awesome. I arrive, and I browse the other tattoos as a wait. 3:30pm rolls by, I check with the front desk guy, and he says it'll only be a few more minutes. 3:40 - a few more minutes. At this point I'm pretty frustrated. 3:50pm, I let them know that I'm going to leave. He gets Dee and she brings out the stencil. It's the flowers I requested but it didn't seem as though there was much thought put into. She said it'd have to be in color to cover my black tattoo. I've definitely seen black over black cover ups... though this was my fault for not specifying and assuming it was going to be black. I let her know I wasn't a fan. She was willing to design another tattoo or fix the one she made.
At this point I was just done with every, her and the shop. She sent me an email 10 minutes later apologizing and willing to work on something else. I informed her I was not happy with having to leave work twice, and waiting almost an hour to be seen for my appointment. I requested my deposit back, or at least half since I did not get my service.This was 12/7. By 12/15 and still not getting reply. I initiated a claim through Venmo and then finally got a response about half an hour later from her, stating that 30-60 is her usual wait time to get set up. I've gotten other tattoo's and have never had such a wait. The whole experience was like pulling teeth.
TL:DR: Didn't get tattoo. Long wait time. Unprofessional. Wasted deposit.

Tom at Black Coffin is great! Walked through the process of what he was going to do, asked what kind of earring and if I wanted a color done to the earring. Went back and got everything sterilized, walked me back and told me everything he was doing. Once done, Tom gave me the complete rundown for aftercare.
I would highly recommend Tom for piercings.
He is booked, call beforehand to see if he may hand walk in available
Thanks again Tom
