I was stoked to get my nose pierced for the first time today; but nervous! Tony put me at ease with his wealth of information. He was super cool about making sure my piercing was where I wanted it and he let me know if it would jeopardize the type of rings ill be using. Not to mention the atmosphere of this shop made me feel super comfortable! In the very least, I thought I would have produced a tear but he was done SO fast I had no time to cry! Lol. Thanks so much, Dude! I just wish I could have tipped more!! I'll be back for sure!

Had a great experience! Did a walk in, and they were able to fit my friend and I within an hour to get matching tattoos. Turned out beautiful. Thanks!

Tony takes his time and is amazing! He did amazing work and made sure I was comfortable and had a say in everything he did. He was enthusiastic and made the environment so welcoming! Highly recommend!

Edit: I brought longer bars in and Tony swapped them out for me. :)
Piercings were done well, and at a reasonable price, but the longest bars they kept in stock were still way too short for my fresh dahlia piercings. Longer bars to accommodate swelling are (almost always) necessary, and definitely needed in my case, and I was disappointed and frankly surprised that they didn’t carry longer bars.

BEWARE DON’T GO HERE!!! So I went with a friend to get jewelry changed in fresh piercings and noticed some things that absolutely need to be said not only were the initial piercings done with bars entirely too short due to him not stocking proper sizes he went ahead and pierced them anyway rather than asking to reschedule to do things properly. Strike one. When I went with my friend longer bars were provided to accommodate for the swelling not by the shop but by the customer. Strike two. Last but most importantly before he would change jewelry out he insisted that the review my friend posted get changed in essence holding proper work hostage for an improved review online. Strike three. If you ask me he is the epitome of unprofessional and puts customers at risk of complications due to what I assume is the desire to make money right now rather than perform proper quality work if you are thinking of getting a piercing I highly recommend going absolutely anywhere but here.

Didn't do very well, wasn't prepared at all. Pushed back the appointment an hour and was still not ready but the deposit is non refundable. had to wait for the artist to trace out both tattoos and do everything else to get ready which took almost another hour and he blamed his apprentice. My tattoo came out better than my girlfriend's because it was all traced from an existing picture from the internet. The purpose was to cover up a small old tattoo, it did not so he had to quickly add in shading that makes little sense above the bird. my girlfriend's tattoo came out pretty badly if you look at the girl or the books they aren't drawn or shaded well. Not worth the money we spent, should have let him keep our 200$ in deposits. It would be better than having laughable tattoos.

Had a most excellent experience at this shop! For being out of towners, the Owner and our Artist Tony, made us feel like family. The art was perfect and exactly what we wanted. They accommodated our wants and needs and didn't make us feel like three silly girls, well 2 silly girls and 1 old lady, 😂!! I recommend them highly to all local people looking for body art and anyone from out of town looking for a rememberence Tattoo. Thank you to the entire staff!!!

Tony was great to work with. He is professional and takes pride in his shop. It's very clean and organized. He has a gentle hand - piercing didn't hurt one bit. I will be going back soon for some tattoo work too. Thanks Tony!

Got my first tattoo done and they were AMAZING! Very patient and walked me through the whole process as I describe my dream tattoo of ultimate geekiness (truly a one of a kind piece of art). Tony didn't shy away from the challenge I had laid before him... I am challenging lol.... and drew me the perfect tattoo which was EXACTLY what I always wanted. The show was a clean and inviting atmosphere as I did my setting and I felt at ease the entire time. Thank you so much for making this a pleasant experience and I will not hesitate to recommend and to go again... I now have the tattoo bug.
