I'm updating my review. JJ called me back and they said that they couldn't return my $60 deposit…read morebut that they would use my gift card as a deposit for my next visit. I was ok with this. At the time I was a little upset, given the situation with a sudden death but I understand that a policy is a policy. Do I sound Bi-polar yet? No, I can just give props to a good place when needed. I also believe that one bad experience should not be held accountable for the entire business. I went to my rescheduled appt and had Ben Wight do my tattoo at their new location in High Falls (which is awesome btw). He did an amazing job. So friendly and personable and his artwork is great! Well worth the wait! The entire staff was nice nice and friendly, including the receptionist. Can't wait to back for more work. Ben did a wonderful flower tattoo for me that is in honor of my grandmother that I will forever be grateful for! I will post a pic now and then another one once it heals! So happy with the results! Great work!

So where do you go when you suddenly decide on a spur of the moment tattoo? You go see Aric at…read moreDark Pearl Tattoo of course! We've known Aric a long time. My kids went to school with him and hung out a lot back in the day. He's creative, patient (especially when you're not really sure what you want) and offers ideas. He's funny, creative and has a way of putting you at ease. Prices are reasonable. You won't be disappointed.

The artist and I started talking and I ended up getting one of my favorite pieces. They had a line out the door, yet they still took their time and did an amazing job on myself and my friend. Not to mention that a portion of their proceeds for the day went to charity, Dark Pearl is a great spot and I'll find myself getting tattooed here again soon, I'm sure.

If I could give more stars I would!!! Our experiences with Andie over the years have been nothing…read moreshort of incredible. Back in 2024, when my middle daughter was about to turn 8, we went to Andie for her first ear piercing. As my daughter's nerves grew, Andie's patience somehow doubled. She coached her through one lobe, and when my daughter decided she wasn't ready for the second, Andie didn't push -- she supported her wholeheartedly and celebrated her choice to wait. Fast forward to last week: my other two daughters decided they wanted their ears pierced as well. We went back to Andie, and she guided my oldest through double piercings and gently worked with my youngest, who needed a little extra time and confidence. We returned the next day, and she did it! Then came my middle daughter -- the one who had only one lobe pierced since 2024. Seeing her sisters succeed gave her the courage to try again. After an hour and a half of pep talks during one visit, and then another 2 1/2 hours during our most recent appointment, she finally became a two‑earring girl! Andie was right there with us the entire journey -- patient, encouraging, emotionally invested, and truly cheering her on. She was nearly in tears with pride, just like I was. You can see that this isn't just a job for Andie. She pours her heart and soul into every single person she works with. She cares deeply, she loves what she does, and she strives for absolute excellence in every interaction. I would recommend Andie to ANYONE. You will not be disappointed -- she is one of a kind!
