Heart in Hand Gallery

Met and got tattooed by Joe Haasch last week. He's wonderful. We talked the whole time. It's very obvious he cares deeply about what he's putting on your body, and about his craft. He's a terrific artist and a great person. I highly recommend him. The shop itself is super nice and clean too. Everyone here is kind. I love it.

Love this place! I’ve had 3 different piercings, and two changes of jewelry done (both by Afton and Ursula) at Heart in hand. Both of them are super nice, super easy to talk to and are both knowledgeable and gentle. Prices are fair, and they’ve got a lot of different jewelry to choose from. Totally recommend!

I had a pinup done by Carl and am absolutely in love with it! Prior to this I didn’t have any serious work done so I was nervous reaching out to someone so experienced. Carl was absolutely amazing to work with on this. He was super easy to communicate and didn’t have the aggressive stereotyped personality I was expecting.

He worked with me via email giving feedback on general designs until we arrived to what I wanted. During this process I could truly feel the passion he has behind his work which was my biggest concern when finding an artist. The piece meant a lot to me and I wanted someone special to design and tattoo it. Carl was absolutely that person.

The day of my appointment I had second guesses on where to place the tattoo d/t work and medical reasons. Carl picked up on it right away. Instead of getting aggravated he spent extra time trying to find the best spot. I’m so glad he took the time to do this because I absolutely couldn’t imagine my pinup anywhere else.

They sent me home with soap and lotion which was super appreciated as everything I have is scented and wouldn’t have worked. While I was there the shop was discussing putting in a care instructions card for reminders (hope they do this because that would be great!)

The tattoo is beyond what I imagined. It captures my personality and everything I wanted it to represent.

I highly, highly recommend even for those tattoo newbies out there like me 😊.

I cannot say enough positive things about Heart in Hand. I had an appointment with Matt, and from the initial consult he was very detailed about everything. When it came time to come in for my piece, the whole shop energy was positive. Everyone I met was polite, and helpful. During my tattoo Matt's energy was calm and inviting! It was good conversation and hearing some of his traveling tattoo stories were just what I needed to relax during the session. This gallery is one in a million and I will go back to visit Matt and everyone else there!

Lucy is the cutest ever! I got my septum pierced and it went super smooth and looks amazing. She even adjusted the jewelry to make sure I’d be able to flip it up which was a concern of mine. Would 100% get pierced here again!!

Friday the 13th. I wish I would say I got a tattoo from this shop . Was our first choice of shop. I have no idea of how the quality would have been. So this review is not based on the quality of tattoo cause we chose the shop for that reason. Got in line at 830pm. Which I know most shops close but this one did not and that worked for my groups work schedule. Waited in line until 1145 and was sent away at the front of the line. Artists spoke to groups often with minor reassurance, no guarantee of getting a tattoo. Which I understand. But if the artists had an idea of when they were going to cut the line. They should have done so HOURS prior to 1145. Best part is they gave out $20 off $100. Bruh I was in line for a $20 tattoo. And was turned away after 3 hours. I would have preferred to be told earlier and given nothing. Fun fact our group was of 4; 3 of the 4 this would have been their first tattoo.

Lucy is a good piercer , just maybe not the most friendly all the time.

I booked two appointments for myself (I had a piercing that I wasn’t sure had completely closed) I booked an appointment for a jewelry change in hopes the piercing hadn’t closed , and a second appointment for a piercing in case it had actually closed.

In hindsight I should have probably still only made one appointment. each appointment is 15 min. So she could have easily checked for both things in one appointment.

Needless to say I goofed, and I was late for my appointment bc we couldn’t find parking 🤦🏾‍♀️ but it didn’t warrant her attitude, especially since I paid the $20 minimum for both appointments ($40 total) to get nothing done after she told me I needed to come back in two months before she would re-pierce my daith.

I’ve gone to her before and this wasn’t my experience, she was really nice and professional which is why I recommended my friend to come along with me (she also had an appointment but was unable to a specific piercing bc the anatomy of her ear didn’t allow it), who noticed how rude she was being this time around.

I’m assuming the attitude was because my error in booking appointments/ arriving late , which I why I’m giving 4 stars. She’s actually really good, well educated about piercing but I do think she could have been a little more understanding and less rude at the time.

Afton is/was amazing! I got a piercing and many questions needed to be asked before someone takes this interesting kind of leap. She guided me through it all; Was patient with my questions— wasn’t condescending and “over it” when I’m pretty sure she’s asked this line of questioning everyday. Told me everything I needed to know. Super professional and put me at ease with her witty disposition. Will definitely recommend her!

I had an appointment yesterday with Joe Haasch and it was just a great experience overall. Awesome tattoo and super friendly. I highly recommend getting an appointment with him. Top notch work. Excited to go back next month.

Ursula pierced me and stated that’s she worked here for a couple of days out the week. When I walked in they stated Ursula no longer worked here. (This was a sign) The piercer at the time blonde hair bangs can out with an attitude not in the mood. She stated to me that she can not swap out rings unless it’s 4 months I stated to her it has been longer than 4 months but can not remember the date. She then lied and stated to me “ you told me it’s been 2 months I have never told this lady 2 months she was very unprofessional and she was not inviting. The front desk guy seem not to care at all would not recommend this place at all. I guess they pierce when they are in the mood!
