    First tattoo
    Briana H.

    I got my first tattoos done by Sydney and couldn't be happier with my results. She made me feel very comfortable and was easy to make conversation with. The shop was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back!

    How old to get a septum piercing with parent permission?

    We dont do septums . I'm sorry.

    Do they do Friday the 13th tats?

    We don't. I'm sorry.

    Do any of your artists use black light ink for tattoos? If so, how does the price differ opposed to normal tattoo ink tattoos?

    We can keep talking on google if you have any further questions. :)

    Do you guys do inner lip tattoos? If so what is the price range for a four letter tatt?

    They typically don't do those. They don't tend to last.

    Do you tattoo for 16 year olds with parent consent?

    We do not. 18 and over only.

    Is tattoo by piece or hourly charge?

    They are mostly by piece. Larger pieces are by the hour.

    I guess I am an outlier here but based on my experience, I do not recommend Precision Piercing…read more The owner knows his craft but his energy was terrible. He was rigid, aggressive, and belittled both me and my teenage daughter during our piercing session today. There are a lot of rules at this place. I am sure he has his reasons for them but some seem odd. We were told to back in to a certain space in his lot and wait to be waved in. Ok, fine. Then when walking in we were told not once but twice to wipe our feet. Ok, fine. As soon as we walked into the lobby, we were told to sit in specific chairs, twice, ok fine. He then began spewing out a ton of information. We tried to take it all in. He then asked my daughter if she wanted posts or hoops for her double piercing. She said posts for now but would be wearing hoops later after sports season. I then gave him the gift certificate I had purchased for my daughter to use for this session. He immediately said in an irritated and condescending voice, "did I not tell you to let me know when making an appointment to tell me if you were using a gift certificate"? I told him he had not and he said, "well, now I have to change things!" I have no idea what that change would be but I have never been told by any business that I have to tell them ahead of time I am using a gift certificate. Ok, fine. We then get called back to the piercing area. He told my daughter that he was going to mark her ears where he would pierce them and she could tell him if she wanted them moved. He placed the marks higher than she liked and politely told them so. He immediately became outwardly irritated with her. She said she would like to wear hoops in the second hole (meaning eventually as stated in the lobby) and he aggressively said, "well, why didn't you tell me that in the lobby when I asked!?". My daughter is 15. He kept belittling her, for no reason, so I stepped in and said, "this is her first time getting double piercings" hoping this would make him realize he was being unkind in his communication with her. He then remarked her ears. At this point had I not already purchased a gift certificate for her for Christmas, we would have left the business. He then pierced her ears and placed them very well. He used great sanitary procedures and explained them all VERY extensively. When we thought he was done as he was wiping down the countertop, we stood up, very ready to leave. He then told my daughter to sit back down, twice, so she could watch him clean the countertop. He asked her if she had any questions but at this time, we were both so nervous to ask him anything, that we stayed silent. He then tried to make small talk with us but we were done. He knows his craft. He is sanitary but his customer service absolutely sucks. He may have pierced people 1000 times in his career but this was a new experience for my daughter. He acts as if everyone should know exactly what he is talking about instead of offering customer service. I don't need my ass kissed but basic pleasantries and not being talked down to would be nice.

Once it was our turn, everyone was professional, kind, and completely appropriate during my 6-month-old daughter's ear lobe piercing appointment. The piercer clearly explained the entire process beforehand and thoroughly reviewed the aftercare instructions, which helped us feel comfortable and informed. They went above and beyond to make sure our daughter was well cared for throughout the appointment. One thing to note is that they are cash-only, but there is an ATM available inside. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend them!!

The shop has a cute feel and is super fun with some unique touches. It's in a nice spot downtown with street parking and public parking close by. It was clean and I could tell that he took a lot of care to ensure a sanitary and smooth experience with recommendations and explanations along the way. There were little things like choosing to use two different piercing needles, one for each ear that made us feel at ease with the appointment. My daughter's piercings are perfect. There was minimal discomfort and she didn't seem to mind at the piercing at all. Now a month later, her ears look fantastic and have healed beautifully. Truly can't thank them enough for such a great experience and a perfect piercing.
