Clean, friendly, and overall a great atmosphere. Was able to get my left ear pierced with no trouble at all they also provide a nice informative packet which tells you how to properly clean it, ect. Most likely gonna come back for a tattoo at some point. Knew it was the right place when I walked in and they were playing Nirvana.
Miguel.... Im in love with the tattoo you basically free handed entirely. It was in honor of my meemaw and matches her stitching she made and gave to me. You didnt even see the stitching of the wolf, but just by my describing her and the symbolization you created what I consider a perfect piece of art that I absolutely love. Shout out to Empire and Miguel, Dani, Johnny entire staff!
The front desk girls were horrible. Waited to get service and rude. Took a while to get an artist to look at my stuff. Have people going in and out. They only accept cash no credit cards. One girl got pierced and the piercer has her bleeding all over the floor. The bathrooms were not clean. Anytime the front desk people got a second to go out and smoke. Have so many people in the lobby. It’s ridiculous prices were sky high.
Extremely professional when walking in. Were from. Out of town last second thought. Looked up several places and this one sounded the best. So, we came over. Super clean. Friendly place.. Wed return if every in town again.
I went to have 4 piercing at once done. Tragus, conch, daith and rook. Amber did all four of these. And this was under the supervision of supposedly the best piercer there, Crystal. My daith was pierced crooked and automatically was pushed out the next week at work due to swelling from the angle. Then she pierced my rook too thin and only let me know hours later on Facebook when she was feeling guilty. She made sure to keep my jewelry so I couldn’t go anywhere else to get this done. Then I went to go get my tragus looked at by a professional and they said I would never be able to wear a ring or anything but A stud. And it would be a piercing length bar that would be a pain to always order. So basically I’m out three piercings (about 100 bucks) and the only thing they had to tell me was if I had a known before, because I’m the expert right, they would have given me my refund. But they basically told me to screw myself on the money I’m out. Please do not go to this place, you’ll be paying more at another but you’ll get what you pay for
Absolutely rude!! Terrible customer service! I was trying to get a quote over the phone and she automatically shut me down and due to COVID I figured they were doing things a little differently. Instead she just shut me down without even letting me finish! I called Love Spell Tattoos and he was so polite and told me to just short him an email.
I have been there before and they were rude just like the first time. I had issues with the atm and but my sister tried to work on the issue. How was I gonna walk out without paying who in the right mind would walkout without paying as a business person I know and they were rude too. As a person of color you better take your business elsewhere PERIOD.
I’m not sure if I wrote a review the last time I was here, so this review is for both experiences. First, my boyfriend and I got our first tattoos from Chad. He was excellent and made us feel comfortable. Second time around (today), Krystal gave us two piercings each, in our earlobes. She was amazing. She walked us through everything she was doing. I would recommend this place to anyone who wanted to get a piercing or tattoo.
Second time going. Left tragus and right today. Great customer service. Krystal is awesome. Best for any piercing
My first professional tattoo and chose the right place and the right artist. Miguel is very professional and knowledgeable in his art. He hooked me up with a memorable tribal piece that not only looks amazing but fits me to the T. Done completely freehand in just a couple of hours his experience shined through. Thanks Miguel.
My Husband & I both went in today to get my bellybutton pierced and his bridge pierced.Our Piercer was Krystal. She is AMAZING, super sweet, talks you through everything she does, and she did a fantastic job on both of our piercings. I will definitely be coming back! :)Now on the shop and the other employees.The shop is badass itself! I didn’t get to catch the front desk girls name but she was so sweet too. Very friendly place 🖤🖤 11/10! Thank Y’all!!
The staff are super professional and friendly and I loved how clean the shop was. I would definitely recommend anyone come here for their tattoo/piercing needs! Miguel is so talented and kind and did a great job on my tattoo!
Front staff comes off very rude for no reason. The woman working the front desk was rude on the phone and she was rude in person as well. My friend and I took our business elsewhere and found much more reasonable pricing and a friendlier staff down the road at The Psycho Delic Butterfly Tattoo & Piercing
I got my nose pierced by Krystal today and she was very gentle and kind. I’ve had my belly pierced here a few months ago too. I loved both of my experiences. The staffs at the desk were extremely nice as well. I most definitely recommend you guys to come here for piercings!
OMG!!! I had such a delightful experience. The inside is amazing with all of the different tattoo ideas around. It is a very clean place with great employees. I had the wonderful pleasure of getting tattooed by the artist Miguel! Dude he was super nice, works fast, his work is SUPER neat (yayyy) and he’s not heavy handed (thank god). I would most definitely recommend them! Make sure to make an appointment because they do get busy
I got tattooed by Miguel, he was very professional. He made me feel very comfortable. Super friendly, overall the best experience I’ve had in a tattoo shop. Will definitely go back to get more work done by him🙂
Me and my friend went to go get piercing and everyone was so sweet! The lady at the front desk calmed my nerves and Dave did the piercing so quick and they came out perfect. Cant wait to go back and get a tattoo
I had a great experience at Empire of Ink, I went in for my nose piercing and was out in 10 min. They were very friendly as well! Thank you guys!
I got my first tattoo done by Miguel. He did an amazing job. It is exactly what I wanted and he made me feel comfortable and I will be going back.
They dont know how to take out a Medusa piercing after saying they did over the phone. They basically lied. Never coming back or recommending this place to anyone
I have had 4 piercings done here and the lady is awesome. Super sweet and professional.
Its where I always go to get my ink. Krystal is a great piercer. And Johnny is awesome, ok, so all the artists there are pretty amazing. Pricing is also reasonable. Love it
I had an amazing experience! Staff is very friendly and professional! Worked me in for my tattoo as a walk in and consulted for an appointment later on. I had a bad experience at another parlor that day and came here.
I was so nervous, anxious, and scared that I wouldn’t be able to handle the pain of a tattoo.! Let me just say that MIGUEL IS THE VERY BEST.! As long as you chew some gum and start a conversation the entire time (Lol like I did) of your session YOU WILL BE OKAY .! I Promise.!!! Thank you Miguel for making my Day as well as my FIRST tattoo. I will see you in about a month for another one .!
I went a year ago to get a tattoo and now I am in the process of trying to get another one! Good customer service and the guy ( I wish I remembered his name) who did my tat was dope! Cannot wait for my next one!
Best tattoo place ! My great Artist Guy Miguel Cab I gave him a FULL FIVE STARS!!! I highly recommend y’all go over here Empire Tattoo and check Miguel Cab out!
The friendliest tattoo shop around that does great tattoos. I will only come here ! I feel so welcomed every time ( unlike most tattoo shops ), the girl who did my tattoo (Dani ) was amazinnnggg ! She noticed right away I wasent feeling well cause I didn’t eat before my appointment, then gave me water and fed me an orange !! Nicest people ever and amazing artists.
Im a few days late posting, but I got a tattoo by Miguel and I absolutely love it. I have really bad anxiety, but Miguel was so very sweet & his art work is amazing. The staff was very friendly & professional. Ill be coming back soon and cant wait 😊
The staff is friendly and professional, the place is clean and the prices (for piercing) are much better than some of the other shops in town. Would recommend for anyone!
Always a great experience. Clean, reliable, amazing staff. I suggest them to everyone.
Sharing this post Don is the owner also he is a great artist who did my tattoo which is one of the kind no one else has this Rose design they are very professional people there also a great family friendly crew everyone was nice and pleasant very safe and clean with mask and sanitizer everywhere 😁☺️😉😊 Angela Williams
Ive actually gotten a tattoo there before and 5 of my friends. Ive tried to go back 2 other times. The lady at the front desk is so unprofessionally rude I dont know how they even stay in business on her customer service alone. I witnessed her talk to others in the lobby waiting the same way. We potentially walk out and got great service down the street. Unacceptable!!!!!! Will not ever patronize thier buiness again.
I got my 2nd Tattoo at Empire Tattoo in Little Rock the gentleman that did it was amazing his name was Chad. He made me feel comfortable and he also talked to me while he was working. If i ever get anorher one i will return ro Empire and let the same man Chad give me my next one. Thanks Empire for such a great experience.
This place was very friendly!! When I walked in I was greeted very kindly despite the chaos of the Corona worries. They are also very clean and make it clear how they properly take care of you and how you should take care of your piercing or tattoo. This was my first time ever coming here and also my first tattoo . My artist communicated with me fast and efficiently about my appointment . I was tattooed by Miguel and he was very cool and gave me great vibes before, during and after tattooing me. He also made me feel comfortable and didn’t just jump right into tattooing me, he showed me how it’d feel first and made sure I was okay throughout the process. My tattoo came out nice and clean. Very nice experience!! Plan on going back to get another tattoo after this one heals.
Absolutely love this place, will come here for all future piercings! Krystal was such an angel, she really went above and beyond to make sure my piercings were perfect. I absolutely love them! She does such a great job making you feel comfortable and properly informed on what you’re getting done. The whole place has such a positive vibe, you can’t help but have a fun time!
I went to have my nose pierced recently and I chose this place because it offers a really good price and Crystal was super sweet! I didnt even make an appointment, I just walked in and I got seen in less than 5 minutes. Crystal made sure I liked the placement of my piercing before she did it. She made me feel really comfortable and explained everything that was happening, especially with all the tools and the cleanliness of it with COVID. I highly recommend going to see her! I cant speak for my experience with any of the tattoo artists, but I was thoroughly impressed by the service and for a good price! It was around $45 for my piercing with tax. Please make sure you tip! She deserves every penny for sure!
Amazing place, very nice people, Chad did amazing. Great guy!
Krystal is a phenomal piercer. Been wanting to bring back my Monroe for awhile and she did so good. Very pleased made sure we had all the information we needed about after care as well. Keep her Empire shes amazing.
Best customer service artist is top of the like and very chill vibes and atmosphere
Nice, clean, fair prices, and the piercer was super professional and answered all my questions.
I got two piercings by Krystal! I recommend her to anyone who is trying to find a good piercer. You can visibly see she makes sure every thing is very sterile. I ended up having issues with one (not her fault), so I went back up there and she was happy to address it for me with no issues!!
I had my 18th birthday yesterday and decided to get piercings to celebrate. Krystal was amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I did get extremely light-headed but she took very good care of me and made sure that I was alright before I left. Krystal, if you read this: YOU ROCK!
I had a great experience with Miguel. He did a great job on covering up a previous tattoo...long story!! I told him what I wanted and he delivered. I’m about a month out and my tattoo is healing beautifully. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
We had such an amazing time at Empire Tattoo. I went in and had my snakebites redone and I got my septum pierced. Krystal is very gentle and she is a great conversationalist.While waiting our turn for my piercings, my husband has a piece of flash catch his eye. The tattoo artist, Dannie, was phenomenal. She was fast and very friendly. We felt right at home there and its going to be our new body modification home. Go check em out! Just set up a consult and youll be able to see why its a great place to put your faith in some amazing artists.
I had went up there to get a tattoo. The artist ask when did I wanted it done. I told him today. He had an appointment at 4:30pm & told me he can do after that appointment. The receptionist desk lady said they will call my number when he is ready. I stay in Little Rock all day for them to call me & I wasn’t from there. I told them that. After about 5:30pm, I went back up there to see if the artist was done. The receptionist told me someone else was in there & I will have to make an appointment & put a deposit down after they have already told me they will call me when he was done with the 4:30pm appointment time. They do 1st come & 1st serve. I never received a called & they had me waiting in Little Rock all those hours for no reason.
My experience was fantastic! I got my ears pierced, and Krystal was so nice and helpful through the whole process even though I was super nervous. Will definitely go back for any future needs!!
My appointment was scheduled at 2PM today for a belly piercing Krystal was freaking AWESOME!!!! She examining my belly to make sure first if I could get it pierced (she picked out a beautiful jewelry perfect for skin complexion) then she marked where the piercing would go and made sure I looked at it to make sure it was in the center. Finally she told me to take a deep breathe on the count of 3 and TADAAA it was FINISHED quick fast easy and didn’t hurt at all!!! She also went over how to take proper care of the piercing!! Well done krystal I definitely will be back again sometime
Made appointments for tattoos. My gf got 2 piercings. Nose and lip turned out really good.
My piercings was done perfectly by Krystal and she was so sweet, patient, caring, and funny... like I seriously recommend that if anyone wants a piercing to go to Empire to see Krystal ❤️❤️
Awesome place to go for first timers! Ive gotten a few tats and piercings here, every visit was great. Its very clean and neat inside and the artist are dope!
Super professional and they do great work.
Very friendly place. I had an issue with a piercing that I got at another parlor. The place that did it was closed on this particular day so I went to Empire. Crystal was amazing and helpful. She tried so hard to help me with my problem so that my money wasnt wasted on my piercing bit ultimately all of her attempts were unsuccessful. I do not blame her nor the place that did it because no one could have know my face was going to swell like that. I appreciate how kind and gently she tried to fix the problem and she was just wonderful. She tried very hard to get a new, longer bar in my lip but it was just to swollen. The place I got it done is going to Pierce it again at no cost since the bar was to short. Great place for sure.
It took me a while to post this since my phone broke, but I can for sure give them 5 stars!We went to 4 different tattoo parlors and empire was the ONLY that sat down with us and looked at our tattoo ideas and gave us a price.The other places would glace at our pictures we brought and give a price range without letting us explain any intricate details. The tattoo was pretty simple but since it was my husbands first tattoo, I wanted this done right. Miguel tattooed both of us and it was great he was respectful, nice and informative about aftercare.Definitely going back to him for our next one! Highly recommend!
The price there for a tattoo is outrageous a simple outline of a tattoo $150 no thank you a tattoo should not cost $150
Ive gotten my last 2 tats from them and they are great and guarantee thier work!!!
Amazing place. Friendly with walk in service
I dont really write reviews but i felt like i had to for here. So I dont do good with needles and pain, but I love getting tattoos... which is not the greatest mix. Dani was my tattoo artist and she was SUPER understanding and helpful throught the entire process. She was REALLY easy to talk to but completely focused on her work at the same time. She went outside her comfort zone to do a black and white for me and did an AMAZING JOB! I will definitely be coming back to her for all my other tats. Thank you Dani!
My boyfriend gets tattooed by Miguel! He does some truly amazing work! If youre into realism (or anything) I would definitely go to him! I got pierced by Kristal and shes so sweet, gentle, knowledgeable and clean! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good work done.
First off, DANI was nothing short of AMAZING.Im new to the state and was referred to her through a friend. Shes beyond talented and her work shows it! The place itself was great too! Super clean, super friendly staff, nice, tidy artist rooms. DID I MENTION HOW CLEAN IT WAS? Plus, theyre involved in helping the community, which I love! I definitely recommend.
They actually allow you inside to talk with them!
These guys were amazing, I got my septum pierced and fully plan on going back for more tattoos and peircings.
Great people, amazing work and excellent prices. They know what theyre doing and are very friendly. Very clean, sterile and educated. This is the only place I go to get my tattoos.
Went as part of the Out of the Ashes fundraiser. Whole shop made the first timer experience as easy as possible. Front desk was kind and answered my questions. Miguel made me feel completely comfortable and at ease with the process. Overall, the shop seemed really clean too! Absolutely could not recommend more!
So far both experiences Ive had were very pleasant. The shop has a very laid back vibe and I straight forward process to get to the back. Miguel has done both of mine and both times left has if my image was printed on my skin. Mad props my dude.
Amazing place
Super friendly, very helpful, and good quality. I definitely reccomend.
Came in today for my first tattoo, they got me in fairly quickly after I arrived. They have nice staff and our tattoo artist Miguel was great! The music playing was pretty good and the tattoo on my foot went pretty smooth, he was very gentle! Great first tattoo experience. Will be back to see Miguel!
Ok please come here if youre thinking of getting ink. This was my first tattoo ever and Miguel did such an awesome job. He sketched it out for me before- and is so talented!! It was better than I expected it to be. Price was reasonable as well. Staff was amazing, and they made me feel welcome- especially as a first timer!
I LOOOOVVEEEE Johnny! He has such a great personality. He is a gifted artist and the only one who I use for tats. The staff are always friendly and the place is always clean and sterile.
Dani is super lighthanded and professional, always does a great job
The experience was terrible!! Had appointment for piercings they acted like they didn’t wanna pierce me and my friend from the beginning kept telling us to reschedule. Sat their for over 30 minutes past our appointment decided to take mine and another girls temp wouldn’t show us my friend apparently had a fever then said “well our ac doesn’t work” then said they had to kick her out. Very rude do not recommend!!
I went with no appointment and a fairly bad picture of what I wanted. They worked with me easily, and Miguel drew it up by himself. He did an awesome job, with the drawing and tattoo. Its my second one getting done by Miguel, and I highly recommend him.
Absolutely loved the surroundings. and the work is amazing. even if it takes them 10 minutes the pieces come out amazing
Came in without an appointment. Was greeted by friendly staff who were eager to help. Great work for a fair price. Definitely would recommend to others and will be going back
Good folks that takes PRIDE in there work.
Very nice people and very clean
Awesome staff, very knowledgeable, and best of all great prices. 10/10 would go back again.
I came in today for my first tattoo ( July, 21 2019) and let me tell you...Miguel was absolutely amazing and I was more than happy with my tat. The staff is super friendly and make you feel at home. Miguel is very talkative with his clients while performing tats, which I love. So shoutout to Empire and I will be a returning customer!
Theyre all super nice at this shop! Ive seen work by Darion, Dani, and Miguel in person and they are all excellent artists with their own personal styles. Their toys for tats promotion is incredible, so take advantage while you can! Love you guys:)
My friend Gabby and I showed up an hour before they closed and Miguel managed to get both of our tattoos done in less than an hour with both of them looking flawless! This was first tattoo so I was super nervous but Miguel made it an amazing experience! I will definitely be back for more!!
Absolutely horrible place, I sent a deposit of $111 to one of their artists, waited over a month just to be put off constantly and then told by the owner I wasn’t even on the artist schedule at all. Basically he was trying to side hustle or just keep my money. I would never go to this place nor recommend it to anyone unless you like being stolen from
Migel was super cool to work with & it was nice to have someone doing your tattoo who actually had a conversation with you. Will definitely be going back soon to work on my thigh piece!
Empire of Ink is the best place to get tattoos or piercings. The staff is Awesome and always makes sure the customer leaves happy. Johnnie and his staff are truly talented people. I have had numerous tattoos done won’t go anywhere else!! Keep it up guys!
Seriously love this place they are friendly, honest, and very good at what they do. Second time I’ve gotten a tattoo from here and am not disappointed!!!! Love love love!!!
NEGATIVE 5 STARS!! THE UGLY MAN ATTITUDE ANSWERED THE PHONE. All I wanted to do was ask a general question and he began being very rude. Its not my fault you are not happy and it displays with his attitude. I will never spend my money with someone that talk to their customers like he did with me. Do NOT and I repeat do NOT go to this tattoo shop, youll come out being just as upset. Customer service is horrible!! Run. Run. Run. Run as fast as you can.
Ive been visiting the guys and gals at Empire for more than 5 years. They just keep getting better. You will not find a better bunch of people who actually listen to their customers and frequently do toy drives and specials to benefit our community! Stop by for a visit! You wont be disappointed!
Amazing work.
Even if the prices are high, they still do a great job and what its worth no matter how much it is. No one takes notice that the piercing is once price and the jewelry adds to it. Also reading their responses to 1 star reviews gave me a laugh lol. I would literally reply with the same thing.
My tattoo is missing ink in some spots. Sure she said I could come in for a touch up for free but I live out of town and I expect to have a simple tattoo like I got to have all the ink actually in my skin. She was really nice and the actual outline doesnt look bad at all, but she didnt go deep enough. Update its literally looking like the ink is just scabing off and with some of the ink missing in spots it looks terrible.
