I was very impressed with my tattoo. I came in with an idea and walked out with a custom piece of art! The guy with his son there did my work. His son was well mannered and a cutie pie! My artist was very attentive. Ive had several pieces done here and will continue to go back.

This place is the best place I have found since my brothers passing to get tattoos and piercings! I have gotten multiple tattoos from Will and he does amazing and wont let you put anything that wont look good get done!!! I have also brought multiple people here to get tattoos done and they have loved it and agree with me. Everyone is so friendly and down to earth and its clean!

I’ve had 4 piercings done here now. And I have no problem with the piercer or the place at all. But I am really sad to say today without going completely into detail, that one of the men there, don’t know his name, but he was very unprofessional with his son in front of me and other customers multiple times with what he was saying. And I had my daughter with me, and what he said to his son and regarding there being another “kid” there (my daughter) just really rubbed me the wrong way and made me not want to go back in the future. Other than that, it’s been great every time.

Wolff was my tattoo artist, he was an all around funny guy. His prices are reasonable! His tattoos are great! Will definitely be returning. Clean experience! Personally watched him clean and sanitize all of his materials! Prices were great! He does some awesome work! Great quality for the prices!

I have a terrible fear of needles, and if you do too this is the place to go. Chris was absolutely amazing, and Ive honestly never had a better experience with a needle. Im so happy to finally have the spider bites I wanted for so long but felt way to nervous to actually get. Thank you guys so much!

Relaxed atmosphere. Chris and Wolf are very friendly and attentive to the clients needs for piercings and tattoos. Been going here for awhile never had a problem with professionalism or price for what I wanted. Both members of the shop take great care and are very knowledgeable of their craft. I sincerely recommend anyone to go here for a great experience with tattoos or piercings!

They are some down to earth people, with amazing work, amazing work isnt cheap. They know what theyre doing and their art isnt limited, you give him something that you think cant be done he will not only get it done but do an AMAZING job, plus the people in that shop are humble, they make you feel at home right when you walk through the doors, now who can complain about an amazing place like that.

This place was amazing. Blaze did my tattoo and it couldn’t have turned out better. The lettering was everything and the shading and color were great. I had just an idea of what I wanted but he did a great job bringing together a beautiful vision and work of heart.

Stephen Fox is an amazing artist and super nice. Go to him for all your cute, cosmic tattoos. Really light-handed when he tattoos too.

Rampage is the best piercer Ive ever been to. You can tell she loves what she does and takes the utmost care of her clients with each and every piercing. Highly recommend stopping by.

Found Dez through an online friend and loved her from the beginning. She made me feel very at ease, and was very fair on her pricing. I get compliments all the time on the color shading, and the art work she has created for me. Also she is the most gentle artist I’ve had tattoo me, which helps when you’re doing four hour sessions. Beyond being an amazing artist, she’s an awesome person!

Love this shop, Chris has done every piercing I have for 8 years now. I also got my 2nd and 3rd tattoos here. Never disappointed, Chris is always willing to change out my earrings for me when I’m in need as well. He’s very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly! Always answers my messages hen I have questions about a new piercing. Amazing!

Review №28

They knew what they were talking about and were able to answer all my questions. Everyone was very friendly and they always have pierces on hand which is nice because normally theres only 1 piercer per shop. I had a good experience and would def go back. The only issue I had is my tragus piercing I just got keeps on falling out and they are very hard almost impossible to get back in on your own when you have in the type of jewelry they first pierce you with.

Ive gotten several tattoos with Kyle, and theyve all turned out beautiful. He has a very light hand, so none of them have been really all that painful, and hes exceptionally courteous and professional. I will definitely be going back for the other tattoos Id like done.

Horrible customer service, was only there for 2 mins and asked a question in regards to a tattoo & piercing and the female had a horrible attitude while I was asking her, then just walks away. I do NOT recommend this place at all. Glad my money wasn’t wasted there.

Review №42

Went there 4 years ago for my 1st tat, a small one on side of my finger.Eric (dont kno if he still works there) told me 50/50 chance it will fade away in that area.It still is there but a little fuzzy.Eric was/is very talented and good with people.My prob is the creep that was hanging in the shop. Some bald guy with tats over 100 pc of his body. Even eyelids. That wasnt offensive.Live and let live.My prob was he did not talk or smile. Creepy for a 1st time customer. Dont kno who.he was or why he was there. While I waited he moved from the couch out front to Erics area.Eric said he had to clean the area for me.Great ! The only thing was they both went to the back for 15 mins and no cleaning was done. RED FLAG.The guy hung around and watched, creeping me out. Didnt kno if he was cool or not. Never said a word. No explanation from Eric.Eric was cool and a great guy but the place was dirty and unprofessional.I paid the extra $30 for an enhancement and never went back.A carnival sideshow atmosphere.Just my opinion.

They are very friendly outgoing people. They did an amazing job with my gfs tattoo for her mother. They are very good with piercings. I got my Cartledge pierced and my gf got her lip pierced yeterday. They are very clean and up tight about being sterile. I would recommend if you want to get a tattoo or a piercing go to them. They do excellent work!

Review №45

First let me say if I could give less the one star I would…Let me start by saying I have way way more than one tattoo, legs, back, stomach, knuckles, hands, throat, chest, both sleeves, both legs… I like to think I have a general idea of how much tattoos cost and how long one should take… I have been getting tattooed for the last 16 years… I recently moved to this state and I have been looking for a place to go, this place is not it! Had good reviews stopped in, also one of the only places open on Mondays in GB/Dena…First impression of the shop… well besides the fact that it is dark, not well lit in the least, cluttered, slight odor… ratty couch with a chick laid across it with her shoes on (not gross just a real big pet peeve) you work at a place, be professional, its not your dads basement; to the owner… your employees are a direct reflection of you and your business, idk if she was the owner… if so I would think about taking a business management course at the local community college, not to be a dick but you could clearly use some pointers…Second the tattoo in question… 8 letters across 8 knuckles ¾ of inch in height all black, traditional lettering (one side thick and colored in one side just lines) nothing fancy to say the least… I was told that the price would be $20 per knuckle… bringing my grand total to $160… plus a tip, cause I am not a dick. Now I already have all of my fingers including thumbs done… same letters same color, paid $100… $80+20 for the tip; $80 was the shop minimum for less than an hour of work, which lets be honest, if 8 knuckles take more than 1 hour of actual needle in skin time, you might want to step your game up… The chick laying there told me that she would charge $20 dollars per finger with a minimum of 3 fingers… and the reason why the price is so high is because that fee includes the touch up fee… I am not sure about anyone else… but I have never been charged a “touch up” fee. Now I am not unrealistic I do understand knuckles take a bit more to get the ink to stay… and the knuckles I have now have been gone over twice… but at the end of the day double the cost of my 10 other knuckles was not worth it to me… so needless to say my visit was extremely short lived…If there is one thing that is an absolute truth in this world is you’re NOT THE BEST!!!!! So DON’T ACT LIKE IT!

Review №51

Not a good experience for the 2 mins I was there. Took my daughter to get her tongue pierced, she just turned 18 yesterday so no photo id yet, which is why I tagged along. We were told she could not have it done without an ID, not even if I showed my ID as her mother, no big deal acceptable reason, my daughter of course was upset and stated she didnt want to come back there so as we were leaving the lol homeless looking girl working there started hollan about how she dont need our money blah blah, very unprofessional would never spend a dime in a place that employees people who act like that. Went to Southside Tattoos instead and they were awesome! Zero stars for this dump.

Review №52

I was eventually going to go to this shop for an appointment because it seemed like they took in a lot of younger artists for apprenticeships but honestly after seeing how poorly their work is online and how they act and trash their customers online Ill never give them my service. Their younger artists are rude, unprofessional, and unskilled including Dez Aster for shaming customers on her social media for not being hygenic. If I could give it no stars I would.

Walking into a shop filled with cigarette smoke and burnt incense ashes and dirty floors screams unsanitary. I looked through their portofolio here and immediately noticed a chest piece tattoo that was NOT their work as it was a piece done by a local Baltimore artist. This place should be ashamed. Clean up your act guys.

The tattoo they put on my Girlfriend looked like a kindergartener drew it with chalk. Splotchy and colors ran into each other. I am sure the dufass with the big hoop holes in his ears was stoned or drunk. From what I am told he spends most of his time in the bar across the street
