This is the best experience I have ever had. I made an appointment with Chris Curtis and he was super responsive and helpfulall the way through until the appointment. Once the appointment came it was only more of the same. He made sure I was super comfortable throughout the whole session and was super professional. The piece I got went well beyond the expectations I had and the detail and shading is amazing at a price that was very fair. Highly recommend. Thank you Chris! 5/5

If you are looking for a work of art on your body this is the place. I see Lara and she is an amazing artist. She did both my forearms... love it! I also have a friend who sees Meghan and wow shes amazing as well. She has done two cover ups on her and they are phenom. There are 4 tattoo artist and it's by apt. They do all custom work, better then some Miami Ink. Call for a consult.... you will love it! They also do art shows in the studio!

My rook as pierced by AJ in July 2011

12 oz. Studios is top-notch when it comes to tattooing and piercing. AJ pierced my rook back in July (he's at the Deptford location now) and it was really a great experience. The entire shop was immaculate and all the staff were very friendly. AJ is extremely professional and skilled at what he does, but he also has a great way of making the customer feel very comfortable. He explained everything he was doing, used sterile equipment right out of the packaging, and pierced me quickly and almost painlessly! It is obvious AJ really cares about his craft, and he's got the portfolio to prove it. He educated me on my new piercing and piercings in general, and made sure I did not walk out of that shop without knowing exactly how to care for it. Seriously a truly talented guy. Also, they have a great selection of high-quality body jewelry and everything is fairly priced. I have not personally experienced the tattoo end of 12 oz, but I know plenty of people who have. The work is consistently amazing; expertly done and beautiful! I came to 12 oz from the Atlantic City area because they are just that good. I would not go anywhere else for a piercing.

Septum

This place was awesome. The staff was really welcoming and were extremely informative. I went there to get a septum piercing. The person that did it was AJ. When he took me to for the prep he had me sit down and made sure I saw the sterilizing process & explained every procedure. I was really nervous getting the piercing but he made me extremely comfortable. He's also really great to converse with. Everything went smooth. They were really great at giving you a lot of information in regards to the cleaning process and healing. Turns out I cleaned my piercings the outdated way. The total cost was $70 for my septum. It was worth the price and I'm planning on coming back here for piercings and tattoos.

I've been to a lot of tattoo shops and I have to say this is the best place. The people are all friendly and professional. I have a endless tattoo project so I've been to many tattoo shops moving around the country. Tami is great there she is very passionate about her work and tries to go beyond expectations and follows up with you if you are going in for several sessions like myself. I like that the rooms are private. I always felt uncomfortable at other shops trying to keep myself covered with a full open room of people around me. The prices are at that medium level where it's affordable but not so cheap that you question what lack of quality you might get. For everything I want out of a tattoo shop as a customer this place has it!!

Let me start by saying how much I despise needles!!! However, I was interested in getting a daith…read morepiercing (for quite some time now) & lately, I have been wanting to really get it done. I spontaneously went to Hydravolve Studios because I was nearby, it had good reviews online and I wanted to check out styles, prices, etc. I met with Shannon who was just finishing up with a client & happened to be available the remainder of that evening. She went over everything with me and showed me the earrings. It was way too plain for me and the only downfall - they don't have a good variety to choose from in stock. If you wan't rhinestones/more bling or a specific style, etc., you'll need to order it with her, wait for it to come in and then go back to get your piercing. With the fact that I have been contemplating getting this piercing done for a long time, I knew I was ready to get it done right then and there..but also wanted something with bling. Lucky for me, Shannon was able to find an earring with a "little" bling and told me it was available since the person who ordered it, after a month or so, never came back. I decided to go for it and so glad I did. I did tell Shannon to not show me the needle she was going to use or anything because I'd probably run out of the room lol Shannon was very informative; told me everything she was doing, step by step. She was very clean, very nice and super gentle. It happened so quickly with one deep breath. After she was done, she went over in detail on clean/care instructions. I would definitely recommend Shannon. She was great!!! You do have to reach out to her via email and make an appointment.

I had been coming here for quite some time now. My original artist unfortunately went M.I.A. on me…read more Then recommended for me to see Kopa. I have got to say, 10/10 recommend him. Matches my energy and vibes and overall a good time. Bonus that he is a pretty good artist too.

I regret coming here. I came for a daith & helix and it got messed up 3x. Let me explain…read more Got overcharged for jewelry I didn't buy and I had to go back for a refund & they're hella overpriced. Shannon did the helix & daith & it was so bad my ear hurt & swelled up and Judy had to take them out & redo them & taking them out hurt like bloody murder. She said she must've been having a "bad day" to miss BOTH so bad. How bad? I was having headaches & pain nonstop on top of the swelling & bleeding in just ONE WEEK (& I never swell or bleed from my 9 previous piercings). The daith prevented my ear from being touched at all even from the back and swelled up & stuck out. An X-Ray & MRI showed my ancient helix next to the new one and the old one was perfectly straight & perpendicular to my ear but the new one was so crooked it made a "Z" between top & bottom helix & I couldn't heal from it. From the front, the top 2 were close together but super spaced from the bottom & the back was completely the opposite. Judy redid the daith after letting it heal for a month & it was perfect. She redid helix after giving it a month to heal & it was crooked again. Same angle but not as bad. She said "it's just your ear". Excuse me?? A skilled professional should be able to compensate & my other 2 helix piercings were perfectly straight except for THAT one. They hit the dot they marked but the angle made the front & back look completely the opposite from each other. I'm not paying for another MRI & X-Ray to prove the redo was crooked again. I already saw it from the 1st one & my drs said it was messed up even though that wasn't the point of getting those tests done. I met with the piercing manager Samantha & she said it "didn't matter where it comes out the back as long as the front mark was hit". HUGE red flag That's the reason the helix Shannon did was fucked up & I couldn't heal from it (& I'm a fast healer) & it hurt like death to get it taken out. The angle is critical for a perpendicular hit & swift healing. She also said "I know I can't please you" because she swears the piercing Judy did was straight but off by a millimeter & also blaming my ear & said she's been "doing this for 13yrs" like it's the end all be all. Girl. Just because you've been doing it for some time doesn't mean you're any good. That goes for any profession. And if any other job was "having a bad day" and missed 2 of 2, I'd say they can't do their job. She was hella rude about it with a high & mighty attitude too. No apologies or refunds, just them blaming the client & excuses they're having a bad day. And she acted like she was doing me a favor not charging me for having the piercings removed when it was her people who messed up. THE ATTITUDE OMG. Sam & Shannon have the same nasty attitude. Judy was the only nice one. No one deserves to be treated like that especially a paying customer. I had to go to Urgent Care to get this treated, go on antibiotics, & go to my PCP. Too many drs visits. This place is a nightmare. Avoid it. Literally a rip off. They've ripped off & overcharged other people (I was told so in the shop) & go read the other reviews. Go ANYWHERE ELSE. You have many choices. Save yourself the time, money, aggravation, & physical injuries & pain & then getting blamed for it while getting excuses. A piercing from a piercing gun at the mall is perfectly straight (with X-rays as proof) & no excuses. Me, my brother, & his twins have never had problems even after many years & decades with our piercings and it costs a fraction of the price. Again, go anywhere else but here. Paying more (A LOT MORE) doesn't equate to better service.

The staff is super friendly, and the shop takes their service very seriously. I show up at my allotted time (maybe 10 mins early cause there's always paperwork). I get all signed in. The person running the desk is usually pretty busy. They seem to get a lot of calls and bookings when the shop is full of artists and folks. When it's my turn I get escorted back to the artist or they come and get me in the cute little waiting area. There's clearly a lot of time taken to keep the shop clean here. I've seen so many single use sanitary needles and paper towels among other things. Everything gets wiped down before I get going. The artists do a good job of making sure you are ready and super happy with the sizing and placing. One of my tattoos I actually asked to be moved three or four times and I felt like a butt but the artist was super chill about it. I am not the person to send back a restaurant dish if it's wrong and it took some practice to tell artists to resize or relocate an outline. During the tattooing process I get asked a good number of times if I'm comfortable or if I need to stand up and shake it out. They do have water and snacks if you forget, but you should always eat! I will always return to this shop. It's a third-place for me for sure. I always feel like family.
