Received my tattoo from Josh and I was really really impressed. Not only is his work exceptional, but he’s very friendly, professional and approachable and the shop was clean and tidy. I didn’t once feel judged by him. The other staff members were also very nice and helpful as well with any questions I had. I will be coming back again for any tattoos and piercings in the future

Caleb is an amazing piercer, he explains everything you need to do to keep your piercings clean and tells you everything he's doing and why he's doing it. Josh is also an amazing tattoo artist, I haven't been tattooed but seeing all the tattoos he's done I would definitely want one from him one day.

Caleb is a superstar DIVA!! He pierced my nose and my eyebrow and I couldn’t be any happier. He did an amazing job and he lets you know what he’s doing every step of the way so you aren’t kept in the dark. He keeps it 100% real with you and it was an amazing experience.

Came in as a walk in for a tattoo with 2 of my friends. We had the best experience overall in the shop and had Josh as our artist. He was extremely patient with design and placement. He was incredibly conscious about cleanliness and ensuring no cross contamination occurred. All three of us got tattooed and shared so many laughs. Would definitely be interested in coming back in the future. Came in as a walk in for a tattoo with 2 of my friends. We had the best experience overall in the shop and had Josh as our artist.

completely comfortable, safe, and *HIGHLY RECOMMEND* I messaged them on Facebook after a Google search of piercing shops near me. The conversation was instantly friendly and very reassuring of the process of the piercing I wanted and after care. When I got there filled out the papers and he took me back. I felt completely comfortable, safe, and welcomed. Gave great advice during the process for me to have the best experience during and after. Definitely will be coming back for more!

Went with my boyfriend to get his septum pierced yesterday. Amazing service, very friendly, extremely sanitary. I didn’t catch the name of the piercer, but he was super nice and walk my boyfriend, his mom, and me through the whole process, even though it was only him getting the piercing lol. Piercing was quick and smooth, and my boyfriend is loving his new septum :) definitely coming here for my angle fangs when I can Went with my boyfriend to get his septum pierced yesterday.

I will definitely be going back when I’m ready for a new tattoo. I highly recommend. I got my forward helix done today by Greg.

i’ve gotten both my belly button and my eyebrow done here and both have been done by members of the store. the owner did my belly button and walked me through it, was very personable, and very helpful with all questions i had. caleb, the one doing my eyebrow, was just as kind. there’s also pretty constant sales, deals, or even free stuff here, that and they’re the most affordable in town. i love going here when i can, and haven’t had a bad piercing experience yet!! :-) i’ve gotten both my belly button and my eyebrow done here and both have been done by members of the store. the owner did my belly button and walked me through it, was very personable, and very helpful with all questions i had. caleb, the one doing my eyebrow, was just as kind. there’s also pretty constant sales, deals, or even free stuff here, that and they’re the most affordable in town. i love going here when i can, and haven’t had a bad piercing experience yet!! :-)
