Jenny did my tattoo and she is an amazing artist. I picked her specifically because I loved her work but found that I love her even more as a human being. The two and a half hours in her chair flew by and now I have a gorgeous work of art on my forearm. If you want a beautiful piece of art see Jenny.As for Ikonic Ink its very clean and welcoming. I felt very comfortable there every time I walked in. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

I just got my first tattoo, Kevin Harrison did an awesome job. Great to work with and very professional. I’ll be booking my next appointment with him for sure!

Had two pieces done by Josh Kunkel and couldnt be happier with them. Hes a great artist and lots of fun to talk to. Its clear he works hard to give his clients exactly what they want and make the experience comfortable along the way. Facility is really clean and other staff members are all very friendly.

Jenny is an AMAZING tattoo artist. She did such an amazing job, and is just such a sweet person through and through.

It is with trepidation I make this review. Janice was my artist. We had six visits, each were 3-400 per visit. She was friendly and I thought we had a good rapport. We had two schedule conflicts, we rescheduled and I in great length explained my expectations for a cover up, half sleeve. She added filigree and it was poorly placed and she allowed me to look at it at first and assured me the shading would be satisfactory.. after several sessions..and incomplete work..it is still not finished. I called the shop two times, reception had me on hold for eight minutes and so I hung up, I then sent correspondence via messenger...four times...AND NEVER HEARD BACK..so today, I finally called again, receptionist acknowledged she received my message but said AGAIN I NEED ANOTHER CONSULT TO DISCUSS MOVING FORWARD WITH THE COMPLETION OF MY HALF SLEEVE. The artist has taken multiple pictures and knows that I wanted additional roses added. I have a $100 deposit credit and still the receptionist said she’d need to “call me back to schedule another consultation!”Insanity!

The receptionist was quite standoffish. My friend & I had to go for a consult even though we have gotten tattoos before and knew exactly what we wanted. The person we saw was nice enough.However the price is ridiculous!! For a tattoo about the size of a gold ball they wanted $300!! We went in to a place in Tyrone. Spoke to us then gave us a dates and was a quarter of the price. Now we are getting a total of 3 tattoos.

Kady did a great job with my piercings and responded to all my questions and concerns in an informative and professional manner. I felt like I was well taken care of and I will definitely go back to her for my next piercing.

I first went here for a tattoo in January of 2018 (I think). It was my 2nd or 3rd tattoo overall and I was tattooed by Josh right on my inner forearm. I love it!The second tattoo I got here was also done by Josh and was my entire chest. That was August and September of 2020. Even though it was the most painful experience of my life, I loved it!January of 2021 I went in for a septum piercing from Jesse, I was in and out in like 10 minutes. It was a wonderful experience!Needless to say, I will be going back for more tattoos and piercings down the line. Everyone at Ikonic is awesome and super friendly, whether its your first time there or your 50th.

Do not go to this place! I was extremely over charged for my second ear piercing. There are a lot of better options in state college to get your piercings done. They ripped me off by selling me the earring in two parts (they charge for the front and the back of the earring). Came out spending nearly 105$ for just a normal stud. Avoid this place at all costs

I had such a great experience at Ikonic Ink! This particular tattoo was a huge deal to me on so many levels, which had me a bit nervous even though I’ve been through the process before. Start to finish, everyone was really nice and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Josh was the artist who did my tattoo and working with him was great because there were a few aspects, like the size, that I wasn’t quite sure about. He not only made great recommendations but took the time to explain the reasoning behind them, and he asked questions throughout the process to make sure the end result would be exactly what I wanted. He helped me with my questions about aftercare as well. I could not be happier 😊

Had a wonderful experience with Katie getting my cartilage pierced yesterday. She was extremely nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend Ikonic Ink and Katie to anyone!

Probably the best wings Ive had in years.

Everyone at this shop is amazing and does a wonderful job. Kady did an amazing job piercing my eyebrow. I will be back for more piercings

I highly recommend Ikonic Ink Tattoo and specifically Joshua Kunkle. The personel and space are clean and professional. The price is reasonable and scheduling is easy & timely. As for artists, Ive worked with Joshua twice. He is willing to work with you to create a design that is perfect for your personality and location on your body. Joshua is an experienced and talented artist who does exceptional work. He also excels in cover-up tattoos. Check it out.

Got a forearm tattoo from Josh and it took about 4 hours but he was an amazing artist. It was my first tattoo and he made me feel so comfortable and made sure the tattoo I was getting was exactly the way I envisioned it. He was extremely friendly and made sure I was happy with the tattoo throughout the process. The detail work is incredible and the tattoo is healing amazing. Would highly recommend Ikonic Ink to anyone wanting a quality tattoo.

I went and got my tongue pierced i spent 80 dollars, it was my first tongue piercing so i didnt know much about what piercings r good or not, they didnt put a long piercing in to use while ur tongue heals so my tongue was swollen and dint have much room because they put a regular piercing size in, it fell out and broke two hours after i got it done, i called and asked if they could help and they made it seem like on the phone that they would charge me again and didnt wanna help put it in! so unprofessional and rude on the phone! Very expensive for cheap quality jewelry!!!! so i spent 80 dollars for no reason!!

I finished up my half sleeve here and it was done by justin and he was beyond amazing. soooo friendly as well as very welcoming. he was completely open to my ideas while also providing me with input needed to make tattoo for better. i couldn’t have asked for a better artist !! his work is amazing and working with him is so great

Very clean and friend environment and do really good work

Jenny at Ikonic did my tattoo. She is one of the absolute most talented artists that I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with! I had such a memorable experience here. 10000/10 recommend :)

I got my first cartilage piercing here and was nervous and did not know what to expect. They were extremely efficient and professional, talking me through the entire process. It was very quick, clean, and nearly painless. I’ve experienced minimal discomfort since I got it and have had no infections. Will definitely be going back there for my next one!

This place was wonderful. The people working there are so nice and will really treat you like a person. Jenny was a great tattoo consultant and I can’t wait to have my ink done by her! 10/10

I got my navel pierced here. The receptionist was very nice. I was nervous because it was one of my first piercings. Place was very clean and professional. Only downside is it’s expensive but you do get for what you pay for.

Went and got my nose pierced and paid 196$ including the tip for a “14k rose gold” nose stud. 2 Days later the stud falls out in my sleep and i lose the stud, they told me i would have to pay AGAIN for another piece, they didn’t even offer to give me a refund or money off.

I had tattoo artist John and he was great! Excellent customer service. He made me feel comfortable the whole time and he truly cares about how the tattoo looks. He takes pride in it. The price was fair and I didn’t have to wait to get in the chair (I did have an appt). I highly reccomend it! Everyone is so friendly!

Nice place, I got my nose & both second ear lobe piercings. the ear ones aren’t even at all, my left one is noticeably farther from my first piercing than my right. it also got infected. but my nose & right piercings are both good!!

I have gone to Joshua Kunkel twice now at Ikonic ink. I absolutely love both of my tattoos and could not be happier with the results! Even though both of my tattoos were small, Joshua took the time to make sure they were exactly the way I wanted them, and both are perfect. Both times I have gone to Ikonic I have had a great experience and I highly recommend going to Joshua and Ikonic ink in general.

Went for a walk-in piercing and was surprised at how well everything went. Store is nice and clean and the receptionists were so nice. Got piercing by Jesse and he’s amazing and knows what he’s doing. Definitely coming back for more!!

Great place and even better people. Fantastic artists! 10/10 would reccomend

Great vibe and knowledgeable staff. Jesse B did my nose piercing and he was quick and professional. Totally hurt, but I’m glad he was the one to do it for me, because I don’t know if I could have handled anyone less professional. Thanks so much.

I made an appointment with Josh for 10/8/2020 with a $50 deposit. I received a text on 09/30/2020 that Ikonic was closed for 2 weeks for they said for cleaning. Turns out someone else told me that an employee there tested positive for Covid and they were in forced quarantine for 2 weeks. In the text I received on the 30th I was told that they would be in touch with me to reschedule my appointment. I got a text on 10/7/2020 telling me that my appointment is tomorrow. I already had work scheduled and couldn’t change it. So I called them and explained the situation. They told me because I didn’t give 48 hours notice they had to keep my deposit. I said that they never contacted me to let me know they were open. They told me that I didn’t contact them and they could not refund me. So they will not be getting my service and I will never recommend them again. Go to any other tattoo place in town. This place is awful. They don’t care about you or your health, just their money.

Their service was not very friendly. The policy was unknown and not stated on their website or anywhere which was a misunderstanding as I can see. But overall they were unfriendly and rude to us. Their website is also a outdated and has the wrong prices mentioned snd does not mention any age requirements or anything like that

The environment at Ikonic is top notch, the studio is super dope and super clean. Each and every person who works there are really cool and really friendly to every person who comes in. Hands down one of the best places I’ve been too. Had my tattoo done by Justin. Dude knows what he’s doing and absolutely outstanding work.

Josh did an amazing job tattooing myself, my sisters and my dad. He was thoughtful and quick to help us bring our design together, as well as patient and considerate when we all individualized ours a bit. He was laid-back, fun and easy to engage with. He made our experience perfect! Thank you so much, Josh!

Josh did great, and it was awesome talking to a fellow Floridian lol

I’ve had multiple positive experiences with josh as my tattoo artist. He is phenomenal with cartoon style and Japanese traditional style, and has done two massive pieces on me so far and I cannot wait to get the rest of my body done. He’s precise in his line work and has an amazing eye for detail and color. He also actively makes sure that I as the client am comfortable and have the best possible experience while I’m in the shop. Moreover he insured that all of my ideas were taken into consideration and added into my work accordingly. Over all josh and the rest of the ikonic ink staff are super nice and highly professional. 10/10 would recommend.

This was my first time going to II and I was blown away! From the second I walked in the door to the time I walked out with my new piece, I loved the experience. There was a bit of “back biting” talk going on amongst a few of the staff, but my own personal experience with Josh was amazing. Truly could not be happier with how my piece turned out. I may have just been really lucky timing wise, but I stopped in to see Josh, he happened to be available, so we chatted and he asked that I give him several hours to create a custom piece based on what I told him and later in the day I came back for a stellar 5 hr sitting. VERY clean, very friendly, and an amazing artist. Will DEFINITELY be going back to Josh. Absolutely in love w my piece. Highly recommend!

Joshua is an amazing artist, really kind and polite. Good style and skills!

Jesse did my belly button piercing and he is so educated and knows what he is doing. It was painless, fast, and simple. If I was to ever get another piercing I would go back to see him. Also, my friend had a piercing that was rejecting itself and he cleaned it for her, took it out, and explained how to help it heal. AND he didnt charge her for any of it! Hes super great and I liked the place a lot.

COVID protocols are a joke. Front desk staff (manager?) is rude on phone and in person. Piercer performed work fine, but clearly did not care about my patronage based on the way he recited his aftercare speech and promptly left the room to hang out with his friends out front of the shop.I work in a similar field and I know it gets old repeating the same thing multiple times a day, but I want my clients to feel valued and return. I definitely won’t be going back to Ikonic Ink.

I went in to get a new piercing for my birthday, and had the absolute best experience! Stephanie at the front desk was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me pick out the perfect style and jewelry. The studio was very clean and rooms are fairly private, so that was fantastic. Jesse was very professional, all his tools were clean and he followed every protocol I could think of, and made me feel so much more comfortable about the whole thing. If you’re looking for someone chatty, you better find another studio, but if you need someone who’s going to just get it done and make it look fantastic, absolutely go to Jesse! It was barely painful at all. I happened to pass out a little bit after the second hole was done, but Jesse knew exactly what was happening, and caught me to make sure I didn’t fall, and the rest of the staff helped to get me back on my feet. I loved my experience, and will definitely be going back for any other piercings! Thank you Stephanie and Jesse, you guys are the best!!

Just got a chest piece from Justin and it was a great experience. From drawing it up to actually doing the tattoo everything was very professional and friendly. Hes a great artist and I would recommend him for sure. In terms of the shop it was very clean and nice inside. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back in the future.

Amazing and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. The staff really know they’re trade well. Nothing negative to say. Josh is an amazing artist. Very personable. He really knows how to make you feel comfortable. I’ll defiantly be booking another session with him.

The staff is nice and experienced. They have a lot of customers mainly College students so dont expect them to give you a lot of importance of you decide to just walk in, appointments are mandatory rather than recommended here. They will not do White ink tattoos or at least not full White ink so dont bother wasting time on that subject, I did and I learned my lesson. But they are very accommodating and gave me my full deposit back.

Got my tat done by Chris Roberts today and couldnt be more pleased. Covered my calf in under 3 hours and was very professional. The shop is clean and inviting. 10/10 recommend! Will be back for my next ink fix!

Overpriced!! Waited in the lobby for 10 mins just to talk to the receptionist even though i already had an appt. Try to get you to buy more stuff to jack up your bill and not all that friendly. Wont be returning....

Very clean respectful and they were very good with explaining what and how things were being done

There was a long wait because reception didn’t tell the piercer that he had customers. When I finally got my navel pierced, Jesse B., rushed me out of the shop. He was VERY disrespectful and unpleasant. I felt as though I was being dismissed. Although this wasn’t my first time, he really didn’t give me any information on after care. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. Plus it’s very overpriced. If you want good service I recommend 814 Tattoos.

Great place to get ink or piercings. Very clean and organized. Great staff that are understanding and really listen to give you what you want. No pressure and very accommodating. No flash tattoos, all customized pieces.

I have had two tattoos done by Josh and in both instances, they were small memorial tattoos. They are not fancy--he traced my loved ones initials. They were not expensive--I think shop minimum. And they look great! I am so happy with them. Both of my visits were emotional and I blabbered on and on about why I was getting them, who these people were to me, and how this was such an important part to my story. Josh was compassionate, generous, and listened to me. These tats are not going to win him any awards in industry, but they should because the way he works matters. Josh works with a deeply personal level of care and pays attention to the nuances. He engaged with me, even when he didnt have to. It was therapeutic, to say the least. I have had really great experiences with Iconic Ink and would recommend them to anyone. I enjoyed Josh so much, that I took my mother to him for her first tat! I am grateful to Josh and for his work.Stephanie might be the most patient woman in the entire county... When you go in, watch how she works and listen to how she talks. Shes kind and gracious. Her warm and friendly attitude makes for a very welcoming space.

I have gotten a tattoo by Chris and a half sleeve from Slylar, both do such amazing work and people comment on my tattoos all the time!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking for some unique one of a kind tattoos. They are both super friendly guys that have a passion for artwork and quality.

‼️READ THE STORY‼️‼️DO NOT GO‼️This place is beyond RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. They will NOT take any responsibility when mistakes are made, instead, they will curse you out and call the police on you!I have been thinking about getting my first tattoo for over a year. Since my boyfriend has gotten a tattoo from this place before, he referred me to this place. His experience here, according to him, “service was not the best, but they did get the job done.” Thus, I had a reasonable expectation that it would be the same for me as well.But boy was I wrong.My appointment was on the night of July 9th, 2020. I wanted my boyfriend to come with me since this is my FIRST EVER tattoo that will remain permanently and I wanted to make sure that it was done right (He wasn’t able to come because of social distancing.) I reasonably assumed that the tattoo would be identical to the design since the artist blueprinted the design on my back, so I did not check every detail when it was finished.Until my boyfriend pointed them out after I got back, I noticed that there were some lines added out of nowhere and some missing on my actual tattoo when comparing to the original design. Throughout my entire tattoo experience, I was not communicated of any of those changes at all. But still I thought this would be fixable and decided to call them hoping to work something out the next day.⭕️And this is where everything turned for the worst. When my boyfriend called up the artist (JUSTIN KEPHART), which is the same artist who did his tattoo, to discuss the situation the next day, the artist only responded with attitude and immediately hung up. So we went to the store hoping to figure out what was going on. But when the artist saw us outside of the store, the first thing he said was “oh, those f**kers are here!” and went on to cuss us out right away. I was appalled by his reaction.After some heated exchange between him and my boyfriend, the female manager (STEPHANIE HUTTON) came out and threatened my boyfriend with “my ex-husband was a marine and he will f*** you up” and demanded us to leave. Noted that we were outside the store the entire time so we had every right to be there. The artist then spat more words and went inside. My boyfriend went to grab the door handle, the manager pushed him and said, “don’t put your hands on me.” I don’t believe at any point he touched her. She then called the police as we went across the street. The officers who talked to her came to us and told us that the manager claimed that my boyfriend “grabbed” her and that there were “visible marks” on her arm. Not trying to make accusations like some other individuals, but I can only wonder how she got those “marks” on.So this was my first tattoo. After this, I’m definitely not going back there to get my tattoo fixed. Tattoo art is a very personal thing, yet being treated with care, respect and professionalism is not among the expectations you should have for this place. If you do decide to go I hope you get your tattoos right, because if not, they won’t feel sorry for one bit about it and they will make sure you know that.

Worst place ever to get ear piercing, very unprofessional staff with bad attitude. Charged over 120$ and one of the ears started bleeding at night.

My friends and I all went for a walk in tattoo and they were all so kind! Josh did an amazing job and even fixed my jacked up tattoo rail road in altoona completely messed up. Definitely going back to Ikonic in State College for my next!

Clean atmosphere. Professional artists and piercers. Will go there again! And the lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

Shawn is a phenomenal artist! And the vibe of the place is fun, friendly and professional. Give Shawn some space to create and youll be very happy! Now. I just have to move to a warmer climate where I can go shirtless all the time to show off the artistry.

⭕️Hear my story before you go (POLICE WAS CALLED)⭕️For such a personal and permanent art like a tattoo, you would expect to be treated with care, respect, and professionalism, right? But Ikonic Ink cannot be any further away from those expectations.I myself have gotten a tattoo from here before. Although wasnt my best experience, there was nothing to complain about. Therefore, when my girlfriend finally decided to get a tattoo after thinking for over a year, I referred her to this shop.She went for the appointment on the night of July 9th, 2020, I wouldve gone with her to make sure it was done right, but couldnt due to social distancing restrictions. But when she came back with the new tattoo on her back, I noticed that there were some lines missing and there are lines added that were not on the design. Those mistakes were pretty visible so it didnt feel right why she was not communicated of that during the work. But I still thought Ok this is still fixable, we can call them up tomorrow to work something out.And this is where all things started making a turn for the worst. When I called up the tattooist (JUSTIN KEPHART), the same man that did my tattoo before, to discuss the situation, he gave me attitude right away. He immediately hung up after telling me that I dont tell him how to do his job. So we went to the shop to meet him for an explanation in person. The first thing he spat out when he saw us was, and I quote “Oh those f**kers here! He continued to cuss us out in very rude languages.After some heated exchange, the female manager (STEPHANIE HUTTON) came out and threatened me with My ex-husband was a marine and he will f**k you up. And demanded us to leave. Noted I was outside the shop the whole time so I had every right to be there. Then the tattooist (Justin) pulled out his phone and demanded to show him which part was not right. I pointed out only one of many for a response from him Get the f**k outta here He spat out some more words as he walked back into the store. I grabbed the door handle, the manager pushed me yet told me Dont put your hands on me. At no point did I put my hands on her. She then called the police as we went across the street. The officers who talked to her came to us and told us that the manager claimed that I grabbed her and that there were visible marks on her arm. I can only wonder how she got those marks on.The moral of the story is, they dont care one bit about the customers. Before this, my experience here was a slightly underwhelming service attitude at worst. Ive also heard other peoples stories here that the staffs (especially the female manager) are unfriendly and mean. But this time, Im truly appalled by their sheer level of pure ignorance and unprofessionalism. In a way, Im glad they showed their true characters, so I can share my story here with you and dont let you make the same mistake as I did.

Went in for a cover up with Eric Sarno and he did a hands down amazing job. I love it so much I definitely recommend. The atmosphere they have at the shop is amazing everyone was nice and helpful I felt very welcomed.

I tried to give them $300, wasn’t worth their time. I was old that a 4 year old scar on my hand was to fresh to tattoo over. Besides being turned away at the door I really liked the overall vibe of the studio. Great artwork on the walls, and choice of music. It was my first choice, and I wish I would have been able to have gotten my hand tattoo here instead of their neighbor King Cobra Tattoo.

Absolutely amazing experience with Jenny!

Would give 0 stars if possible. I had a tattoo done here that was done so poorly that I had to go to a different tattoo shop for a cover up.I consulted with the artist a month in advance and showed him all of my ideas and drawings behind the tattoo (it was a Huntingtons disease emblem commemorating those I lost to the disease). When I showed up to get the tattoo the artist did no preparation at all. He made me sit almost an hour while he scrambled to put something together. I was nervous that he would rush because it was getting nearer to closing time. Since I had put a large deposit down for the tattoo I didnt want to walk out and I regret not walking out. Just as expected he rushed to finish. The tattoo artist was incredibly rough (my third tattoo so I have experience of what it should feel like), the tattoo left some raised scarring. And the tattoo ended up looking nothing like I had wanted once executed. I was incredibly disappointed and upset with the experience here. Absolutely horrible. I cant remember the artists name but he was a punk male.This was 3 years ago but I didnt get around to writing a review til now.

I’ve been to ikonic many times in my year at penn state. when jesse did my daith piercing, he didn’t even clean my ear. he didn’t give me any aftercare instructions. it was quick and painless tho. when i went back because the piercing was infected, they told me he’d be in around noon to see me. by 1pm when he finally walks through the door, the receptionist says he has clients waiting. he looks at me and the other girls lined up for piercings and says “i don’t care, i’m not ready”. when i had him take out my daith ring because it was infected, he again didn’t even clean it before yanking it out of my ear. i’m only giving this place two stars bc i got a tattoo here as well and it was amazing and i wish i could remember who did it. if you want a quality experience, go to 814 tattoo company, which is what i’ll be doing for the rest of my college years.

Got a super dope galaxy tattoo from Chris Roberts about a week ago. Im beyond happy with how it came out and my entire experience. Chris was nothing but professional and just a good guy the whole time. Definitely would reccomend Chris and this shop to anyone looking for a quality tattoo. I will be going back for more.

Jesse B. pierced my nose for me here and I thought it was a great experience. He was very nice and informative, and made me feel comfortable during the process. I wasnt very nervous to begin with, but Im sure that if I was I would feel at ease there because they are so nice and welcoming. Really good place to get a piercing in State College.

I came to Ikonic to get my earlobes pierced for a second time back in April, something I thought would be simple a straightforward. I really wanted to love this place, because the reviews were good, it was super clean and everyone was really friendly, and they use high quality jewelry. Full story below, but basically I had to have a piercing redone because it was crooked. It was still crooked the second time and the piercer didnt agree, so I ended up going somewhere else to have it fixed.My right lobe was done perfectly, but the left one was obviously crooked (exit hole was way too close to my existing lobe piercing). I went back to ask to have it redone and the piercer insisted it was straight. I wasnt satisfied so went back again, with a photo showing how crooked it was. She agreed to redo it, but it was still crooked the second time, this time with the exit hole really high. It was so crooked that the back of the post started to embed in my ear. Again, she insisted it was straight but offered to change the jewelry to a longer post. It turned out that the post wasnt longer at all, it just had a larger back on it, so it started to embed in my ear again within days.Obviously unsatisfied, I ended up going to a different shop to have the piercing redone by someone with a lot more experience. The entire process at the other shop was way more professional and completely painless, and the placement is good. Im finally happy but it took almost 3 months (because of all the healing time in between piercings). I understand that people make mistakes that are hard to admit, but I wont go back to Ikonic.

Incredibly happy with my experiences with Ikonic Ink! I first got my nose pierced by Miranda when they were still at their old location, and got my belly button pierced by Miranda at their new location, which is absolutely beautiful. I have had no issues at all with either of my piercings, and Miranda and the other staff left me completely at ease, even though I was really nervous for both! I recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a piercing in the State College area, and all of my friends have left satisfied as well. I havent had any tattoos done at Ikonic Ink, but there is a very good chance this will be my first choice of location when I decide to get my first tattoo, just because the staff there are so professional, talented and kind.

Very nice and helpful staff. Top of the line artists. I will never go anywhere else.

If youre looking for a place to get a tattoo or piercing I cant recommend this place highly enough! Its clean and the staff is professional, talented, personable, and just overall great! Majority of my piercings have been done here as have all of my tattoos. Their piercer, Jesse B, is professional and incredibly helpful and the shop has amazing piercing specials daily as well as a huge stock of upgrade jewelry--literally something for every style and aesthetic. I love how talented each of the tattoo artists are and how the studio has an artist for just about every style. I was extremely nervous for my largest tattoo and Jordan is so sweet she made the experience as painless as getting a tattoo can be! I will always be returning here

She went way too hard on my skin. I forgot her name but she had blonde/platinum blonde hair? For some reason I think her name is Natalie. Now I’m left with a tattoo that hurts when I lightly scratch it and is very raised. Also, some of the staff are just plain rude.

Joshua and his apprentice did a great job tattooing my girlfriends first tattoo. There was a weird error in scheduling so our appointment got delayed till later but still a great experience and a great artist.

The service was really super! I came in a little nervous and they were really great about answering all my questions in detail and giving me advice about what I wanted. I had Josh (he stayed late on his birthday for me), he was super gentle and made jokes to keep me distracted. If youre looking for a place in State College, theyre definitely the ones to go to.

I had my piercings done by Jesse and they look great! He was clean, super fast and really nice. He explained the after care really well to me and made sure I was satisfied before I left. Ill definitely be going back to him for my furture piercings!

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Everyone was very rude. We called In to see about getting a piercing done and they told us because I am only 17 I need my birth certificate and a parent. We go in that same night around 8:30-9 and they told us their piercer left. Why they couldn’t of told us that over the phone before we drove the entire way down there and paid for parking. That was Saturday night. We went in today, Tuesday paid for parking again and they tell us no. We can’t do It because I’m not 18. Multiple people gave us the wrong information and they clearly do not know what they’re doing. They call themselves professionals when they clearly weren’t acting like it. They they were very disrespectful, inconsiderate and they clearly do not care about your business. Take Your good money and business somewhere they will treat you like you should be. This is also the second time having trouble with this so called “tattoo and piercing studio” 0/10 would not recommend. Maybe if they werent so ignorant and apologized It wouldn’t be a big deal.

Extremely unfriendly staff and overpriced. They also made us wait there until one of the staff members finished smoking outside. You’re better off going somewhere else.

Ive gotten all 11 piercings and 6 tattoos I have at Ikonic Ink and I love all the work theyve done on me. My tongue, nose, nipples and navel were done very quickly and painlessly at a VERY competitive price. My tattoos were done extremely well, very cleanly and once again, at a VERY good price. I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about Ikonic Ink and I love the fact that they do walk ins. My fiancee has never gotten a tattoo and tomorrow him and I are getting tattoos and Im taking him to Ikonic Ink. I travel over an hour to go here, but I wouldnt go anywhere else. I absolutely love their work. 10 out of 10 guys! Keep up the good work!

This is a beautiful shop with people just as beautiful working there. I can not find a way to express how thankful I am to Skyler for the work he’s done on me. Saying I’m so happy with this peice is an understatement for sure. ❤️💜❤️💜

Ive had two piercings here done by Jesse and he was absolutely amazing! I was guided to Ikonic Ink from a friend while looking into getting my nose pierced. It healed great! Jesse is very professional, answers all questions, provides information you might not know, has a clean sterile work space and instruments. For my second piercing I got an evaluation from a different person at a different shop first in State College and was not impressed or comforted by the conditions of the work environment. I was pretty much shopping around for a rare piercing and like my instincts suggested in the beginning (but I didnt listen to), I went to Jesse again and he took care of me. Honestly at this point I wont go to anywhere or anyone else except for Jesse. He also has taken the APP classes on top of years of experience!

Ikonic Ink is definitely the place to go for piercings. Miranda, the piercer, is so nice and is great at answering any questions you have. A few weeks after your piercing they call to make sure its healing well and check if you have questions. I got a few piercings done here and Im planning my next trip home from college to get the next piercings I want. I couldnt be happier, if youre trying to decide where to go: Ikonic Ink is by far the best option

Went for daith and tragus piercing. Jesse was amazing. Quick, and relatively painless. Will go back!

Very clean and everyone is extremely friendly. Was greeted as soon as I walked in. The piercer (Miranda) is very attentive, friendly, answers any questions, and makes sure you are okay during the entire process. Cant wait to come back for more piercings. Definitely recommend!

Very nice people! Went in a year ago for a walk in tattoo and was treated very kindly.

Justin did a great job with my black flag tattoo it was a great experience...everyone was just so chill and comfortable to talk to and be around great atmosphere cant wait to go back for more therapy.....

This shop is professional and clean. They have awesome artists and a laid-back atmosphere. They take pride in their work and you wont be disappointed.

Excellent place to get a piercing! Jesseb did a great job. Very professional & clean place. I would definitely recommend Jesseb at Ikonic Ink in State College if you are considering getting a piercing.

Me and a friend came in to have piercings done. From walking in to getting them done the whole staff was beyond friendly, very professional, and everything was clean. The gentlemen who did the piercings was very throe and made sure it was as painless as possible. Great place here!

Got a couple piercings from Jesse back in October and they healed really well. He was super professional and made me feel super comfortable during the process, letting me know each step as we went. I will definitely be back

Wonderful experience, got my septum pierced about two months ago and it was very clean and 100% painless. Miranda and Jessie are both wonderful, gentle piercers! Definitely not the kind of tattoo shop that has a piercer as an afterthought, the whole experience was very clean, painless, pleasant experience.

Joshua did a great job on my tattoo, took my design and evolved it into something very cool. Loved the entire staff that was there and we all had a great time! Ill be back for my next piece sometime in the future.

I’ve been seeing Salvador for 2 years now n every piece we have done has been so clean just finishing up my second sleeve in September highly recommend if your looking for realism black and grey

My 2 roommates and I got small tattoos from Joshua Kunkle. He drew it based off what we wanted and he nailed it. He also made our friend feel comfortable even though she is scared of needles. We are very pleased! It cost a little too much money but oh whale.

This place was awesome. Got my first ever tattoo here today and was immediately welcomed and comforted. The woman behind the counter knew what she was talking about when describing the whole process, and the artist himself, Thomas, was friendly and helpful the entire time. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a tattoo or piercing of any kind.

They are the best people.

Great first experience. Joshs work is awesome. Ladies behind the counter, very nice. All around great place. Definitely be back again.

With a number of places to get tattoos and piercings in State College, this is by far the best. I had nipple piercings done here about a month ago and I still could not be happier to this day. A friend also recently got her navel pierced and had the same experience. The piercer, Jesse, is hilarious and makes you feel so comfortable no matter what you are getting done. I have heard nothing but great things from everyone who has gotten tattooed there and looking at some of Adams work makes me want one more. Jordan is also amazing, shes super relatable and has amazing advice on not just tattoos but piercings and the jewelry they offer too. High recommend and cant wait to get my next tattoo from here!

Not impressed at all. Over priced. Was charged for 5 hrs for probably less than 3 hrs of work. Paid for his lunch and all his smoke breaks.

Great work but very pricey. Two small tattoos totaled to $150. Also waited an hour past my scheduled appt. Other people that came in after me ended up going before me.

Very awesome crew Ikonic Ink has! Josh did my tattoo and he killed it! Im more than impressed with his work! If you find yourself in state college stop in and get some work done!

They do ear piercing for one or both ear. Resonable price.

My experience with Hannah was AMAZING! She did an incredible portrait of my dog that I get compliments on daily

Thomas is great. The whole staff was really friendly, too. It was my first tattoo and Thomas talked me through it--I didnt even have much time to get nervous before he was inking me. If I want another tattoo, Ill come back here.

Thomas did a beautiful memorial tattoo for my grandma. Not only did he work with me to create the best design to honor her, but he made the tattoo experience enjoyable and a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend Ikonic Ink to anyone getting a tattoo of any kind!
