We went to this place off reviews. We had family in town and spontaneous decision for us all to get tattoos. We walked in and place smelled clean and entire staff was super friendly. They fit us all in and this was my first tattoo and I had Kevin who was really good and helped make my first tattoo a good experience. I actually will return for #2 and worth the hour drive from our house!
Wow! What a wonderful atmosphere. The staff is SO kind & welcoming. Fun artists! My little sister got her nose pierced by Billy and he made her feel safe/comfortable along with making the process smooth! My mom got her Daith pierced by him as well nice and easy! I got my tattoo done by John. He was amazing with the best happy energy and took the perfect amount of time on the piece! Also good prices. Thank you!
This place is where I would go for a high end tattoo experience. They have the most professional, positive, great surrounding tattoo palace Ive been too. All the artist are super nice, they love showing off each others work. Each artist has individually taken time to introduce themselves and say hello. They make me feel at home here. Plus like I said, this is more then a typical tattoo shop. Its a Palace. Its a club house. Its great! The culture is here and I highly recommend this place and the people in it. I personally get tattooed by Kevin and he is amazing in every way. Even the owner of this shop is super nice, very friendly and welcoming. Come on in and live!
I was nervous about getting tattooed, but everyone here was very nice and very friendly. They put me at ease and I never felt rushed or pressured. My artist listened to what I wanted, looked at some of the different ideas I printed out & brought in, and drew a tattoo up for me by hand, which was really REALLY cool and I know what I got is unique. He worked with me until I was 100% confident in what would be my new tattoo. My artist also checked with me as he did the work to make sure I was comfortable and to see if I needed any breaks. I love my tattoo & Im so glad I went to moniques.
WOW, this shop has nearly 500 reviews at nearly 5 stars for a good reason.I have gotten a few piercing done before between the usual ear and belly button but never the face - I came in to get my nostril pierced and immediately upon walking in, I was pleased with my choice to come to Moniques.The lobby is lovely - clean but not in that cold type of way. Very welcoming. Billy was very attentive immediately, despite being the only person presently available (the shop had just opened up like 30 min prior) and having a few customers already. He may be busy but Billy was very kind and when he was speaking with you, his attention was undivided.Billy did my piercing and absolute 10/10. So fast and swift with the needle. The area was clean, supplies were sterile (he prepped right in front of me so I could confirm it) and I could not be happier!They also MAKE jewelry there! Super cool.I cannot recommend Moniques enough. To be in and out of the shop so quickly [which is a GOOD thing when it comes to a piercing lol] and yet to still have such an impactful, positive experience in that time is a great sign of not only talented people, but also good people.OH and on top of it all: so affordable!Bottom line: go see Billy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I walked in to get my ear lobes double pierced on a whim, and Shaina was so friendly and professional! She obviously knew what she was doing, the environment was clean and well kept, and she made sure I was comfortable and happy with everything before going through with the piercing. They turned out perfect and I couldnt be happier!! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing at a clean professional chill place.
I thoroughly enjoyed going to Monique’s to get my second ear piercing! The great reviews on google held high expectations and they did not disappoint! The lady at the counter was very friendly and informative. Billy was the guy that did my piercing and he was so friendly and calm. He did a great job piercing my ears. He made sure I understood all post op needs, made sure I was comfortable. The piercing turned out even, and didn’t hurt much at all! Go see them for all your needs!
I only got to use 1 of the 2 sessions I paid for. If you value your time, and have a life with other things going on, this place isnt for you. There is only one person there who is able to provide this service... his schedule varies week to week and is not posted online... and he doesnt take appointments. You are to just show up at your own risk with hopes you can be seen that day.
I was recommended this place from a friend who gets pierced here, I wanted a tattoo and came all the way from NPR because she said everyone was so nice here and I would love the custom art they do. I was so happy with my little tattoo I cant wait to get more!
I went for my first tattoo years ago and had a great experience. I went a month ago and had the complete opposite experience, my artist was creepy and thought it was okay to touch me inappropriately while I’m back room, then watch me in the lobby as I waited for a friend to finish their tattoo. I didn’t notice until like a week later but half my simple tattoo (that took no more than 25 minutes) is crooked. Don’t want to go back to get it fixed.
Upon walking in, the vibe was chill! The staff was professional and nice, asking me what I was there for and got me set up with everything I needed before turning me over to Shayna who did my navel piercing. She was absolutely amazing! Very clean and explained everything she was doing. I’ve had piercings done before and this was the quickest and most easy one I’ve ever had. Shayna is amazing at her job and if I need anything else done, I won’t hesitate to make the trip down from WV to FL.
Billy did an amazing job piercing my wife and daughter’s ears. He made the experience a special memory for both of them. He was so nice, caring, and professional. Very clean studio.
My girlfriend and I got tattoos here while we were on vacation here in Florida. She set an appointment for herself and they let me in after as a walk in which was nice. Kevin was our artist and he was AMAZING. Fun to talk to, and very professional. We had a lot of fun sitting and chilling with him while he did his thing. He always made sure we were cool with everything before he started and he kept checking in on me to make sure I was doing ok. I would 100% recommend this facility and especially Kevin for his exemplary work and experiences here. Ask for Kevin, you wont wanna see anyone else for sure!!
Billy is the best for all your piercings needs! Billy was extremely warm and inviting. I was nervous initially, but all the fear went away once I sat in the chair. Billy will walk you through everything and assure youre in good hands. Hes personable and keeps the conversation going, and before I knew it, I had my piercing in and out. Ill be coming back! Reasonable prices, quick, and the pain wont be as bad as youre anticipating - so if youre thinking about getting a piercing, do it and go to Billy! You wont have any regrets.
They did an excellent job giving my daughter a piercing! They were kind, courteous, Affordable, very clean and professional. Highly recommend
Tattoo artist was fantastic, he took his time to do my tattoo right. He listened to what i wanted and was very friendly. Conversation was just flowing which made the experience of getting inked more enjoyable. Front office girls did not have same good vibes but whatever, as long as the artist was good i would consider going back.
Shayna is an incredible piercer! I just got my septum pierced at Moniques, and my whole experience was amazing. The building was clean and the staff were all very professional and nice. The room was private and comfortable, and Shayna explained everything she was doing as she was doing it. She was kind and comforting, even though I was nervous going into it. I walked out with a perfectly placed septum ring that Im so happy with. I would absolutely recommend Moniques, and especially Shayna, to anyone looking to get pierced in the Clearwater area.
This place was so awesome!Great service, so nice and friendly . Would come to them first and foremost! Thank you for a great experience and customer service! 🤘
The piercing artist was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. The building was very clean and it was so easy to get in!! I will definitely come back to this place when im ready for another piercing !
Wonderful customer service. Trusted expertise for piercings. I was referred to Moniques from another shop because they wouldnt pierce my daughter due to her age. Moniques was professional and helpful in assisting me in legal documents that needed to be filled out. Friendly and exceptionally talented in knowing EXACTLY where to place her piercing. (Her nose btw😉) Ill definitely be back for my industrial later this year. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
AFTER WAITING OVER 30 MINUTES TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CANT TATTOO MY DAUGHTER . EVERY TIME WE HAVE BEEN THERE, THERE HAS BEEN SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM. TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DONT TATTOO 16 AN UNDER BUT YET GOT A TATTOO FROM HERE ALREADY. MAKE UP YOUR MIND AND STOP MAKING UP ALL THESE RULES THAT ARENT TRUE. WE HAVE FOUND ANOTHER SHOP WITH REGULAR RULES AND NOT MADE UP.
I got tattooed here and everyone was so nice! They made me feel comfortable, especially since i was super nervous, lol The shop was clean and I will be back for more!
My daughter came in for her bday to get her nose pierced. Absolutely loved the gentleman whom assist. Vibe was sweet. Services was great. We came from VA. For sure would go back for some art work.
I came to them looking for help with my old industrial piercing which I had to remove and place smaller clear spacers in while I was in nursing school. I tried to put in a new bar with a large ornament in the middle of it but the holes had shrunken. Over the next day my ear swelled and I had the most horrific head and ear pain. I came to them not knowing what to do. They knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix me immediately. The ornamental bar I had gotten was too short and was cutting off flow of blood causing my ear to swell. They gave me a longer bar to put in and the swelling went down within an hour. This experience was a few years ago and I have plans to get more ear piercings done soon and will definitely be using them bc of how professional and knowledgeable they are.
I just got my first piercing here and I’ll never go anywhere else. Super nice, clean and made me feel super comfortable. Thank you so much!
I have never gotten my nose pierced and the lady who did mine was the nicest, told me what she was gonna do, clean professional, and fast, it was over all a great experience!
Got a tattoo by Kevin today! He did an amazing job! He brought my vision to life. Very clean and super friendly staff!
Love, love, love this place! Great customer service! Shay made my daughter feel very comfortable and relaxed during her ear piercing. Her professionalism and kindness are top notch. Im planning to visit again for a piercing. I highly recommend them, especially for childrens piercings! Thank you, Shay and Moniques Body Art for everything!
Got my double and cartilage pierced and Billy did great! Highly recommend
Omg everyone is so friendly and the prices are perfect. Will go here from now on for sure
Moniques is the only place I trust to get my tattoos. Kevin is super nice and just all around amazing. I’ve gotten two tattoos from this place and am super happy with both. They’re super clean, nice, and it’s a good atmosphere all around. I haven’t gotten anything pierced, but I’ve had friends come here for piercings and they absolutely rave about how good their experience has been. Thank you for being so awesome Moniques!!!
Billy did my piercings and he was awesome! He made me feel comfortable, he was very knowledgeable and overall it was a very positive experience. He also advised me on what to do about an ear piercing that I’ve had problems with! I highly recommend Billy for ANY of your piercing needs.
Not sure why I’m just now writing a review on this place maybe because I’m finally getting it fixed by a real tattoo artist but this place was horrible it is the most ugly tattoo that I have I should’ve researched first that was my fault I would never go back there for anything did not look anything like the flower I showed them !! My three-year-old can write better than that the handwriting is horrible
I’ve been to Moniques a few times as a support friend but decided to get a tattoo finally today and it was the best decision I have ever made!!! Kevin was my tattoo artist and the best one I’ve had (I have 2 big and 1 small). He was super patient, kind and supportive. The tattoo shop itself is very clean and professional. I will continue to get my tattoos here because I know I can trust the artists and the shop. Thank you guys so much again, much appreciated!! 🤍
Beyond amazing experience! Tattoo was better than the idea that I had. Completely satisfied! Kevin was super cool and earned himself a lifetime customer!! If you are not in the area it is worth the drive!!!
Jeremy Fath, in the house!! 2 of my friends come to town on a semi-regularly. We love getting tattoos together. Jeremy is our new go-to man! Highly recommend!
Excellent place for piercings! Super nice people!
This place made my emo heart so happy. it was a very clean environment with very kind staff. i’m so happy with my piercing, and i don’t have anything negative to say about my visit! i will definitely be returning here next time i want something done. thank you xx 🖤
Monique is a great place for you tattoo and piecing. They do great work, very professional and really care about their customers. I believe in Monique tattoo shop. This place is very clean. I just visited them the other day and everyone was wearing a mask. Give Monique a try I promise you will not regret it.
A group of us came in to get sentimental tattoos, so some emotions were a potential. We also had some newbies, so some anxiety was also potential. The guys here were so kind, patient, personal, and all- around awesome! Thank you Billy and Kevin. Yall rock!
I have been searching for a professional and experienced piercer to do my PA for a long time. I contacted Billy @ Monique’s and was blown away at not only his knowledge, but his professionalism. I never felt any pressure or I was asking too many questions. He took the time to reassure me and never once did I feel rushed. He is an incredible piercer and will be going back to him with all my piercing wants! Thank you for an incredible experience Billy!!
Would 1000% recommend! I’ve been going here ever since I got my first tattoo and Kevin is an AMAZING artist! He has done all my tattoos and is very patient and makes sure you’re doing okay throughout the tattoo. He did some flowers on my thigh for my very first tattoo and when we sat down he explained the process and told me what I should kinda expect. And after he was done he went over the after care in depth! I also sent him in a few pictures for my latest one telling him what I wanted and he created a beautiful combination of them! I have small arms so where he put it would of looked weird on the inside of my arms so he he took out his little marker and drew on my arm to fill in the space. Amazing artist with an amazing talent and pays super close attention to details! Unfortunately I travel now for work so I can’t go as often as I’d like but I’ll always ALWAYS make a special trip to Clearwater to see Kevin for my tattoos! I refuse to go anywhere else! Also, the guy who does the piercings (forgot his name) is also amazing! I got my belly button done and I was nervous as a dog! But he was quick and it was painless! Overall, Monique’s is an amazing place to go to if you’re looking for your first tattoo or want more. When you walk in it’s a nice welcoming feeling. Everyone there is super nice and makes the experience 1000x better!
Great Shop, clean environment 10/10 recommend
I had my sensitive bits and nip nops pierced here at Moniques. By far Billy is absolutely amazing and so professional and down to earth! I was so nervous and he really made me feel comfortable and talked me through everything. Even went back and he has switched out jewelry too! When people ask who I use, I always say. I see Billy hes the best of the best sir, with honors. (🤣😆MIB reference anyone?)
This place is amazing!! Billy (piercer) was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean. I have many piercings and body mods and will be coming here from now on!
Got nose piercing, Shanna was Awesome! Painless❤
The art came out good but i did not like the artist too much. I never got his name but he was rude and shut down any idea i had instead of trying to work with it. And i understand that it was my first tattoo but i feel like it hurt more than it shouldve.
They told me to come to the shop to set up an appointment. When I got there I was told to have a seat and an artist would be right out. After waiting for a half hour I left. Dont waste your money here they obviously dont need it.
Got my tragus piercings there. Great experience.
My husband and I stopped in to get an estimate and make an appt for our 40th wedding anniversary!Tony and the guy at the front desk we very friendly!The place is clean and has a nice atmosphere!
I loved this tattoo shop. Billy was great I spoke with him over the phone about some questions I had, I came in and was able to have a great consultation and get my tattoo the same day! Kevin was my tattoo artist and I will definitely be back for another tattoo. This was my first tattoo so I was a little nervous. Kevin walked me through the whole process and gave me a gorgeous rose tattoo. Exactly what I imagined and even better. Some great and talented guys in this shop. Thank you All!
Me and my friend went to get our first tattoos at this place and they were nice and welcoming, and I had a short wait but they charged me $100 for a super small tattoo which I was told is way over priced and I was definitely ripped off for just some lines and small flowers with no detail. My boyfriend spent $100 on a decent sized tattoo way bigger than mine with color and shading at aces and eights tattoos on park blvd and looks way better. I’m embarrassed and disappointed because I didn’t get to get up and look at my tattoo in the mirror like my friend did. The guys with long hair and a long beard just placed the stencil and started drawing. He was nice but I wish my experience was better and I wasn’t ripped off...
Got my septum done here a few months back. The place is very sterile and the piercing was painless. It healed great!
I went here on a whim because my sister and I wanted to get pierced because we saw that the reviews were great and they weren’t lying. The piercer, Shayna, was awesome. She was fun to sit for, she was professional but still made sure we were comfortable. She was also very quick and knew what she was doing. The place was clean. I loved it. I am only visiting because I have family that lives in the area, but if I’m here and I want another one, I know I’ll be back! Thanks Shayna!
Havent gotten any tattoos here (yet), however Billy is the only one Ill go to for piercings. Ive gone to him for 7 so far and recommend many others to see him. Clean, professional and so friendly. Best Ive ever been too!
Great atmosphere the piercer made sure I was comfortable the entire time, he helped keep me calm and let me know what he was doing. I’m definitely going back there again next time I want a piercing!!!! Fantastic customer service!!!
I have gone to Monique’s several times. Billy pierced my nose and Kevin gave me a tattoo. Thom and Ari work here as well and have both tattoo’d me in the past (when they worked elsewhere). I cannot say enough good things about the shop and the people who work here. I’ve never been disappointed.
Tattooed by Thom and pierced by Shayna. Both were super friendly and professional. Very happy with the work!
I came in to get my Medusa pierced about a week ago and everything seemed fine right? I noticed right after the piercing my Medusa was off but I just assumed that my eyes were playing tricks with me so I just decided to leave it be. After a couple days of swelling it’s gone down and my Medusa is mad crooked dude!! I’m honestly so upset, I looked up why it could be crooked and it’s one of 2 reasons. 1: swelling could of made it look that way or 2: your piercer just did a bad job. I feel like I wasted 60 bucks just because I have to remove it now. Nothings wrong with the healing or the piercing really itself, it’s just pierced so wrong. It’s pierced in a diagonal direction as well, it’s just so off from the center of my philtrum. So disappointed :(
I had my nose pierced a few years ago and, after 2 years, it never healed! I was living in Boise ID at the time and got it done at the top recommended piercing studio in the area. I had asked for a hoop but was told it wasn’t something they did for the first piercing and they gave me a stud. The stud style pieces caused me so many issues and never did heal. I ended up removing it and letting the hole close. I really missed it though, so I checked different social media groups and found that Monique’s was by far the top recommended joint for piercings in the Clearwater area. Went in today and met Billy. Told him about my piercing woes and he said he could make the hoop happen. Not only did he do just that, but I felt absolutely nothing. Even less than the first time I had my nose pierced - I felt a pinch then but not a thing this time. He knew exactly what he was doing and it showed! He was friendly and funny and personable and easy going and def the piercer I’ll be going back to and recommending now. Thanks, Billy!
Very clean and professional shop. Got my industrial pierced and it looks great.
Only place we will ho for tattoos. Jeremy Fath is the best!!
💯Totally recommend:) There is no need to look anywhere else You really have to check out this place⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See for yourself 👀
I called up Moniques because they had great reviews and I read on their site that Billy is a very experienced piercer.I spoke with Billy last week and he was very friendly and had answered my questions.So tonight, I decided to go and do the piercings. I got my third hole pierced and my cartilage pierced on both sides.Billy was awesome. He was very professional and has a great personality. He explained the difference between using a gun or the needle for piercing. I had no idea the needle was better. He made the piercings seem so easy and it all went very smooth.Thank you Billy!!
The staff here is so welcoming! I got my nostril pierced by Shayna. She did so good with the placement, Im obsessed. She was gentle and it was over before I knew it. Highly recommend!
I took my daughter to get the medusa piercing ....as we left the place we realized that the piercing was crooked but we thought it had to do with the swelling . As the swelling started to go down we then new that it was definitely crookedWe are so disappointed . Of course I had to take her to get it removed. I paid $50 for piercing $10 for the notary and $10 for tip . I Definitely do not recommend Moniques for body piercings. Dissatisfied and definitely disappointed.
I had my septum pierced today and it looks great. Simple in and out, professional and great prices. Would definitely recommend!
Kevin, my artist, was amazing. He took his time and nailed the design I asked for. Also very personable and engaging. Most definitely will be returning! Thanks guys!
They really care about their customers and provide such amazing service!
Clean! Went to get an earring, had what I needed and took care of me!
Billy has pierced both of my girls ears at 5&6mo and my nieces at 8&10 years old. Hes very patient with the kids. Definitely recommend it for infants.
First thing we noticed when we walked in was wow this place is so clean! Billy did our 5 month old daughters ear piercings. Our baby was smiling and playing with Billy from the beginning. We loved that he took the time to explain everything to us and how to care for it after. Also when we went to the piercing room the earrings were soaking in alcohol and he had two brand new sealed piercing needles ready to go. Billy was so great and it was so quick she only cried a couple seconds and her ears never even got red or anything. Couldn’t have asked for a better result! Anyone looking for a professional that uses the proper needle and not the “gun” please go see Billy. You will not regret it!
I got my nose pierced last week and have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. The young man that did the piercing was quick, efficient, and really nice. He was able to put me at ease and calm my nerves. The piercing itself didnt hurt at all.
Belly did an amazing job with our 3 months old piercing!
What an incredible experience!!! Billy is THE man for the job. Got my septum done and it didn’t hurt at all. He talks you through it all and made the process so smooth. In and out in like 10 minutes tops.Thanks guys!!!@livinginadvance
Moniques is my go-to place for anything body art related. I highly recommend Moniques because it is clean and professional. Billy is the best person in the county to go to for piercings. If you’re looking for a clean, good quality, and stress free tattoo/body art place, go to Moniques.
Billy was fantastic with my daughters and sister. Made them feel at ease when they were being pierced. Very professional and a really nice guy.
Awesome piercing experience! Most gentle piercer Ive ever been to, I got an industrial and a daith, and they barely hurt. My stepdaughter is 10 and they pierced her ear lobes as well, and it was quick and easy, they made her feel very comfortable!
Wow! Love my new tattoo. It was my first one and Thom did a beautiful job. Very professional, excellent artist, very down to earth guy. I was very nervous and he made it a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. Thanks Thom.
They were amazing, in and out in 15! I got my ears pierced and have been rly anxious about it and it was wam bam DONE there was a small pinch and thats it! I would 💯 recommend!!! It was a clean environment I’ll definitely be back❤️❤️
Ari has been working on my half sleeve on and off for about a year. He’s a great guy to work with and does killer ink. He is there to put ink on your skin and has come up with exactly what I’ve wanted with minimal input from me. He is fast doesn’t blow out lines perfect colors and is chill to talk to. Don’t go in there softer than a marshmallow get to the point and you’ll get exactly what you want every time.
Me and my friend were visiting clearwater beach and decided to get a piercing together, instead of driving back home we searched places in Clearwater and I’m so glad we did! The staff was so amazing and friendly and took their time to listen what we wanted and explain everything to us! I’ve gotten plenty of piercings before and they are always so rough and don’t have much time but at Moniques they are eye helpful and so kind. The piercings didn’t even hurt they were so gentle! So glad we went to this shop it was amazing!
Nice professional staff. Good products and tatts
Shayna did my 6 year old daughter’s first ear piercing and absolutely nailed it! She spent time to make her comfortable and then made the extra effort to make everything as painless and perfect as possible. She was very confident and knowledgeable about the process and the care needed after the visit. Monique’s is a very clean professional establishment. The entire Shop was exceptionally clean and the staff was very polite and welcoming.
Got a small tattoo done here several months ago, and it still looks great. Good price, too.
Got my septum pierced and it went amazing thanks to Shay! I will definitely be returning to get more work done.
My first experience was not good. I came in Looking to get a tattoo of my pet that I recently lost, and the gentleman at the front desk told me that they do not do portraits I should find some where else. I said I was not looking for a portrait. I had a couple of pics, and wanted show him and just wanted a Simu lance of a couple of my dogs characteristics that I love and will never forget about him. I had a very good idea of what I wanted and where. I am sorry that I had a bad experience, I do not normally post things like this, however I feel that I was not taken seriously about me and my best friend.
Absolutely love Monique’s, went here to get my conch done and I had the best experience. Billy was the best, he was super clean. He explained his own personal cleaning aftercare. It was quick and worth the price, he talked to me the entire time. Super friendly, reassuring and very professional. Haven’t been to many places with friendly piercers like Billy.
Thanks Billy for piercing my babys ears. Highly recommend!
