Glad it'll be easy to cover up. It's so bad that I don't even think I can be mad at it. Also charged us $40 a piece even though they're made an inch long. After care is poor instructions.

Hands down the BEST experience I have ever had with a tattoo shop, artist and business in general…read more I can't say enough amazing things in this review but I'll try: I was tattooed by Adam Stoner, the owner and you can tell right off the bat that he takes pride in his business. The shop is immaculately clean and sterile. The staff is attentive, kind and personable. Adam is honest. He will be completely transparent about your idea for design and execution. He's upfront about pricing and has more than one option for scheduling. He is currently offering a fast pass that will get you earlier booking options. He also has 1/2 day and full day time slots. I am in love with the work he performed. Being such a sought out artist I wasn't sure if he would take me.. it was going to be a third cover up. The first tattoos I got at 17, the next time they were covered in the last couple of years were done by artist that left a lot to be desired. They were unfinished and not detailed. Adam worked his magic and gave me masterpieces. It's important to add, as a woman and as a woman of color, I felt very respected and safe. His entire shop staff was kind. Customer service is top notch: I was so bummed that I forgot my headphones and Adam immediately sent his assistant to purchase me some on their tab. Plus dinner! We had a long day and I look forward to returning. Great experience!

My third piece is a memorial half sleeve for my parents who have passed away. You pay for what you get and I cant recommend this shop ( especially Dave) for all your tattoo/Art needs. Be prepared to wait as he is in high demand. Usually takes 6 months to get started. This is all custom so don't expect to walk in and walk out with a new piece the same day. But it's worth the wait and the cost.

I guess I'll always call it "Big Red's", but it is officially Genuine Tattoo Co. I have several…read moretattoos, some of them from other places in town and elsewhere. However, ever since I first went here, I have never gone anywhere else. Even since I moved to Dallas, I only get tattoos when I am in Bloomington visiting, and I always go here. Shannon is fantastic. He's done 2 of my tattoos, and another of his artists has done one. Yes, I pay a bit more when I come here - guess what? With tattoos, you get what you pay for! If someone gives you a low-ball offer on a tattoo, it will probably not be up to snuff. These guys and gals are great. I've had tattoos and piercings done here, and they've always given me straight-up attitudes and easy conversation. And they -always- follow the laws on sterilization and showing you the tools were sterilized before opening them. That is a MUST anywhere you are going to have your skin poked and prodded. In short, these folks are the best, and I will always continue to hit them up when I'm in town.

It's clean and organized and STERILE and welcoming and informative. Pictured here is my nose ring which I love.

Thanks for a great experience!

I came in to get a year-old helix piercing changed from a flat-backed stud to a hoop and was told…read moreit could be done. The studio where I got it done originally put the stud on very tight. Something was clearly wrong. Instead of stopping, I went through an incredibly painful removal and jewelry change process at Evil By The Needle. I was told constantly by employee they were "sorry this is so uncomfortable," as I was biting back curses and experienced pain much worse than the original piercing. I bled a considerable amount and experienced a lot of discharge that I haven't in months. It is clear now that it has not healed (and was under stress), but that was not the impression given as the employee lightheartedly told me that I could "get away" with a hoop being put on. Original jewelry was given to me uncleaned with blood on it in a bag. I hope I am wrong but I do not trust that this type of piercing will be done properly here in general. In trying to fix it, another studio let me know the way the piercing exited my ear made it so jewelry put too much pressure on it. Serious irritation resulted. I do not blame Evil By The Needle for the mistake of the previous studio, but they should not have moved forward putting in their jewelry, which was also far too large for my ear and the seam where the hoop closed did not meet. It was jagged enough to tear up my ear further. Helix piercings can easily have complications, but my situation was not helped by my experience here. Though it is not infected, I wish I had been told the seriousness of the situation and given advice on how to proceed. I needed to start over and let the area heal. Instead, a needlessly painful situation was furthered... and they let me shop at their studio for new jewelry to put in. I seriously urge anyone getting riskier piercings to look somewhere else for expertise and guidance on their proper handling. If you have concerns get a second opinion! Mistakes like this can be serious!
