As a party of five, we walked in to get small tattoos to celebrate my sister's birthday. Everyone was professional, clean, and did great work. We had a great time hanging out and they got all five of us done in time for our dinner reservations!

Malik is amazing!!!!! He is super patient, calm and has a soft touch. He's also fast AF! I will definitely be back just for him🙌🏾🙌🏾. The ambiance not so much...the front was a little off putting just empty display cases but it's a clean environment. The service truly elevated the overall experience.

5yo daughter wanted ears pierced. They did a great job even though she was extremely nervous before the second ear. Followed all sanitary standards: sterile single use needles, sterile studs, gloves, alcohol cleaning the site, etc. Very reasonable prices--20 per piercing with a needle, piercing gun would have been less.

Never go here for a piercing. I went in to get my nose piercing thinking it would be quick. The man was poking at my nose for 15-20 mins constantly. He claimed his hands kept “locking” because of an accident he had. His hands were shaking tremendously which was so scary when dealing with a needle on my face. He was so unsteady. I was tearing up so bad and midway i said “Can you please get someone else” and he said “no no it’s okay I can finally see it.” And then ten more minutes went by and then he got it. It was absolutely ridiculous. Fortunately I got the piercing for free after all that but it’s still not worth it.

Great place! Todd responded to my messages within minutes. Got matching tattoos with my roommates and he helped us design our individual tats on super short notice! Great prices too. Have gotten 3 tattoos here and would definitely recommend!
