DO NOT GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCAMMED. Long story short: Their piercer in '22 messed up my nostril piercing. I returned many months after to fix the fact it was next to impossible to put a ring back in. They now have a new piercer. This b claimed she had to repierce, took out the ring I had in, THREW IT AWAY and put the other ring I provided in. She used no tools, just tiny sanitary napkins and did something I myself had done and didn't realize this was all the "professional" would do. Then she charged me $30, all while huffing and puffing about looking through the small trash bin she tossed my jewelry in and not letting me look through it despite my offering to more than once. She hung up on me otp and refused to own up to all her bs. She did me dirty, LITERALLY THROWING AWAY MY JEWELRY and acted like I did something wrong. Good thing I know people. Read below for details. In December 2022, the piercer at this place pierced my nostril at a weird angle (in addition to certainly hitting a vein causing tons of blood to poor down my face). Over 6 months later, I'd still been having trouble putting a hoop ring back in after taking it out to clean it. The ring would get bloody again as I kept trying to get it through. Last week, I just couldn't put the ring back in, so I placed another ring I had purchased elsewhere in, a stud. I liked the stones in the ring, but thought the metal was too dark. I went back to the place two days ago to simply get the hoop back in. They have a different piercer now. I told her what I wanted and never once said I didn't want the ring I was wearing. Just wanted the hoop in. I never said septum, but she responded clarifying what a septum is cuz she said I uttered septum. I told her she misheard me, but I should have taken that very seriously. This person continued to mishear me through every exchange we had. She said she had to repierce the hole, which was some con just to get money. She simply poked the ring I provided hard enough to make a new opening on the inside. This I definitely had done before. No tools used, only a few tiny square sanitary napkins. She threw the ring I first had on in the trash (a small bin). I asked for it and she realized she threw it away and kept saying I said I didn't want it. I never said I wanted to get rid of it or that I didn't want it. I just said I wanted the hoop back in. Also, it was not hers to throw away. She was in the wrong 100%, but as unprofessional as she is, she took no responsibility for her throwing my jewelry out. She made it such a big deal that she'd have to look through the trash for it and sanitize it. I offered more than once to look myself and she wouldn't let me. So I stepped out while she looked cuz the tattoo artist there added that it'd take 20-30min to sanitize. She had 2 hours to look for the ring that night and still didn't find it. She called to complain that she threw out my jewelry and had to look for it and said I had to pay 'just' $30 for her to push a ring harder into a piercing I already had. I said that I will pay, but the price should factor in the fact she threw away my ring. It is nuts that I was expected to pay to leave with less than what I came in with. She insisted that it is just a service charge, disregarding that her service was negligent and dumb. I didn't even say that I shouldn't have to pay at all since I got the initial piercing at that same place and they messed it up. I should not have to pay to fix their mistake. I did not say this cuz I knew this woman would not comprehend. Still, she misheard me and said'you don't want to pay at all'. I clarified that I would pay just the price should be moderated. And after I pushed back on paying the full charge of $30, since she tossed a ring I liked, she said, 'ok if you're gonna be like that, I'll talk to you later,' and hung up. Then when I called back, she said the phone had disconnected. Sure. I returned to the place, and she claimed she was still looking and had one corner left in the small bin to look. Ok. I paid $30, thinking maybe it will push her to find my ring that she threw out. She said she'd call me later that night with an update and she'd call me at 12 the following day (yesterday). Predictably, she didn't do either of these. In fact, I called them 6 times between 12pm and 1:30pm yesterday and no answer. I can't speak on the tattoos at this place, but I am never going there again. I can touch up my tattoo at a better place, where they, listen, are accountable for their actions and answer the phone. I advise no one come for piercings unless they want a completely unprofessional person to poke holes in their bodies and rip them off. Sound like a 'good vibe?' read more

Amazing experience, all the artist are respectful and attentive. Amazing top tier artistry will trust them with my skin.

Legit my favorite tattoo experience and I love that it is a black owned business. Naeem's work is amazing and his energy is dope! He was able to work with my schedule, but also made sure that my tattoo came out precise and how I wanted it. Definitely, going back and would recommend! read more

Says they accept walk in's so I came in hoping to get a small tattoo. I'm visiting from LA and was in the area hoping to get a small 5-letter homage to Nipsey. Walked two feet in the door and the girl from half a season of black ink stopped me very rudely. Said there weren't any artist, didn't give me any idea of any potential options. Guess she didn't want my business. Would have loved to support black business but please work on the customer service!!! read more

Oh let's talk about this little gem of a place. You can sit in the front waiting area which has phenomenal artwork all throughout the walls or you can hang out in the backyard area which is a vibe in itself. They're even painting the walls out there. I got tatted it by will. The GOAT! And tbh I think I laughed way too much there. I grabbed some fruits from the local fruit guy who BTW is saving the earth one fruit bowl at a time and sat with one of the most talented artist if you ask me. Will has an amazingly light hand which works well in my favor since I'm a punk. His energy alone made the experience! I was even able to watch a masterpiece be painted by one of the tattoo artist there. Everyone there has such a creative mind. It's really crazy tbh. Anyway I'm definitely going back. You know once you get the bug it's hard to resist. And this place here..makes it even harder. read more

Super clean and professional. Great artist and cool atmosphere. Legend hooked me up with a Dope cover up. Definitely coming back for more.

I had waited 20 years to get my nose pierced. I was sooooo nervous. The team at Arts in Ink were professional, friendly and patient. I can't wait to go back to get my next tattoo and any other work. I recommend this spot to anyone. It's clean and inviting and the prices are right read more

Decided on the fly I wanted to get more ear piercings, I called and they were about to close but said I could still come in. Lady who pierced me seemed a little new, literally said "uh oh" after two of them so I was spooked but it was actually fine lol. Everyone was super nice. Cheers! read more

I happened to walk by this place on my way home and was considering allowing them to complete my first tat. I walked into the shop and wasn't greeted or helped by anyone (should've been my cue to turn and leave). I noticed a guy to my right, closest to the entrance. As I walked further, I noticed several others lounging. One of the "loungers" said aloud "come on, man, do your job". I looked to see who he was speaking to and learned that he was speaking to the host/receptionist (guy closest to the door). To make this short, I scheduled an appointment for the following day with Mike. Needless to say, I had a place a horrible experience. Horrible work and not upfront about pricing. Will never return. Save your money! read more
