I just finished my Dragon ball Z tattoo at Black Heart Studios and I am blown away! Jeremiah was awesome with the black and grey shading and the whole staff was very polite and down to earth people. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be a returning customer
Let me just say, Jeremiah Havok has been tattooing me for over 6 years. He is one of my most absolute favorite artists and I couldn't think of a better person to do this for me.. He did some of my most precious tattoos. My children's names and birthdays. My late godfather's name and birth/death years... But this one, this one was pretty intense. My father passed away in March of this year and I wanted to have, in my dad's very own handwriting, I love you Herm.. The Herm part being a nickname.. We had a card that he had written I love you on but we didn't have the Herm part. So after looking over some of the other words he wrote on the card, Jeremiah was able to get the best letters and put them together to create my vision. I couldn't be happier to have my friend tattoo this on me. He truly captured my moment and even helped me with some closure that I was so desperately seeking. I have watched him grow and so proud to see how far he has come. He has always been an amazing artist, but he never stopped learning and never stopped growing! Come check out his shop, say hello to him and get some ink!! :)
TL;DR: Get pierced SOMEWHERE else. I was pierced with the wrong type of jewelry and had to deal with a lot of unnecessary bleeding and pain during the aftercare process. I was hoping that Black Heart Studios would become my "go-to" place for piercings, given how close it is to campus/my apartment, but in light of recent events, that is far from the truth. When I went to get my tragus piercing done earlier this month, I had high hopes. The piercer was extremely kind and engaging, which I appreciated since I'm a very much nervous person. The procedure was quick and easy - no problems there whatsoever. It wasn't until two or three days later that things started going awry. Mind you, I have 14 piercings, so I'm fairly experienced when it comes to aftercare. I'm basically the queen of sea salt soaks at this point. Anyway, I noticed that the jewelry she used for my tragus piercing was acting a bit oddly. The end would snag onto the folds of my ear, and there were also cases in which the little gem would get stuck in the piercing hole. Of course, whenever I would try to adjust it, I would start bleeding a lot, which naturally slowed the healing process down quite a bit. The first few instances were just minor nuisances to me, but this ended up ensuing for days to come. So, the following week, I went back to the shop and had the piercer check it out. She advised me to be more mindful of my sleeping position as well as to take more ibuprofen. I asked her if I could change out the jewelry to something that wouldn't move around so much, and she refused. Understandable, or so I thought. I continued to have these same problems for another week until there came a point where the little gem of the jewelry got completely stuck inside my piercing hole. Whenever I would try to yank it out from the other end, I would just bleed indefinitely. That same day, I decided to go to Jade, another piercer over at Infinity 13 Studio. What I assumed was just another mishap with my jewelry ended up being a very eye-opening revelation, in that THE PIERCER AT BLACK HEART STUDIOS USED THE WRONG TYPE OF JEWELRY FOR MT TRAGUS PIERCING. Jade informed me that I was having so many problems with my tragus piercing because it was pierced with a NOSTRL SCREW. Jewelry that is intended to be worn for a NOSE PIERCING was sitting in my FRESHLY PIERCED piercing hole. I'm well-aware that many people use septum rings and the like as jewelry for their HEALED ear piercings, but to be pierced with the wrong type of jewelry is unprofessional. Granted, I could have done more research myself, but come on, man. This is your job. You should know better. Thankfully, Jade was able to replace my nostril-screw-turned-earring with what tragus piercings are SUPPOSED to be pierced with, so I didn't have to worry about the hole closing up. What sucks, though, is that the area where my tragus piercing is is now badly irritated and kind of ugly. I take very good care of my piercings and never had to worry about infections or nasty bumps, so this was a first. It still bugs me how ugly it looks, but hopefully, it goes away with time. Writing a review this long has been a strangely cathartic experience that I hope to never do again. I'd like to think that I am a very content person and rarely ever complain, so let this be my word of warning to all of you looking to get something pierced here. DON'T GO TO BLACK HEART STUDIOS FOR PIERCINGS!
Jeremiah took my vision and made it a masterpiece! This ink means more to me than all my others and I we have him to thank for it. Great vibe. Cool staff. Check them out!
This tattoo is on my chest and is barely about a year old. It is a cover up which is not yet finished, Rainie started it and I paid her a total of $350 for it. I relocated out of state last January, and am now ready to resume working on this tattoo. I consulted an artist a few weeks ago, who has about 20 years experience tattooing and does amazing work. He looked at the work Rainie did, took a picture of it & enlarged the photo, showing me how bad it looked, which is not normal. He showed me the outline was bleeding and the color is fading, bottom line it looks awful and should not look like this, if it had been executed properly. As a result, the artist told me everything would have to be re-done, which means that it is going to cost me more money, because the whole outline and the color that is already there will have to be done again, entailing starting a brand new tattoo from scratch. I have already made several attempts to contact the business by phone, leaving a detailed message with one of their apprentice who took my number, I also emailed both owners and also sent them both text messages with the picture, all of which have been ignored, and they are refusing my request for a refund. That is definitely not the right and honest way to treat a customer, they should stand behind their work and take full responsibility when they mess up, instead of avoiding dealing with issues when they arise. Shameful.
Staff is super friendly, process was super smooth as well as checking out. Instructions to maintain tattoo were clear and good. Check this place out!
Definitely one of (if not the best) studios I've been in. Very clean and professional. Great attitudes and atmosphere all around. Rainie and Jeremiah Havok run a top notch, professional and incredibly clean operation. That's not talking about the skill set from these two. They've got an incredibly talented team and it shows. Jeremiah has done multiple pieces on me and he's incredibly talented, professional and clean. Rainie's work is also top notched and detailed. Both are very talented and gifted artists without the overbearing ego you see at some shops. Highly recommend this place if you want serious work that will impress.
Go see Jeremiah. Hands down, he'll be my new artist for the years to come. Great conversationalist and he's so passionate about his work. My tattoo exceeds expectations!!
SUPER sucks! I mean who can't Tattoo little straight lines?!? What I wanted versus what I got. And at the $80 minimum. At least it's small and can be covered
Took our son here for his 1st tattoo and it was a great experience- The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The shop is super clean; they are meticulous and mindful. We were referred by a friend who also had a great experience. Excellent work for a very fair price, I'd definitely recommend to others!
I went in with my boyfriend hoping to get a new tattoo he'd been wanting. There were only 2 people working, a women and gentleman. He ended up getting the women unfortunately we never got her name. Long story short, she did a terrible job. The lines aren't straight, they aren't even aligned, the lines are way too thin, and I'm not sure why she's even working there. If you ever get a chance to go into this shop, I'd avoid it to begin with, but also make sure no girls do your tattoos. We also tried to reach out to the owner for a chance to fix it, in which he initially did reply and say yes. But after the tattoo healed and we reached out to schedule an appointment twice, he never replied back. I would highly recommend saving your money and time and going someplace else. And to the owner of the tattoo shop, the lack of integrity is beyond disappointing because we had really high hopes for a redemption.
it's not a bad one, i have a preferred place i go to. they do walk ins, i like the tattoo it just felt as if it was rushed and way to fast. not gonna lie the entire time i was being tattooed it felt rather awkward, i regret going to someone other than my typical place.
I came here based on the reviews i've seen which talked very highly of the studio, but i very much regret it. I came in and they weren't busy so I just had to fill out some papers and show maria (an apprentice) what i wanted which was just a basic yin and yang. I told her where I wanted it and what size I wanted and she suggested that I get it a little bigger bc the ink would bleed into the small circle when finished. I said it was fine and that I didn't mind and then she suggested that I move the tattoo a little more down and I again agreed. Fast forward like 20 mins later and she was finished. The lines were wobbly and and she didn't shade in the small bottom circle which I didn't notice until I had already left and gotten home, not to mention, but she had moved the tattoo even farther down than we had talked about after she had already moved it the first time. The tattoo is also not centered on my arm so it just doesn't look right. I could be wrong but I do believe she knew it was not a great tattoo bc of the way she looked at it afterwards. It's really disappointing to see a "professional studio" that has good reviews mess up this bad with a very simple design especially when using a stencil. The price was also a big red flag. It was 80 which considering the size, this should've been at least 60. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I went to Black Heart Studios for my first tattoo. I was very nervous about getting one but me and my sister wanted to get matching tattoos. We met Sage when we walked into the shop and he immediately greeted us! He introduced himself, was really patient with me and answered all of my questions. We booked an appointment for a later date so my sister and I could get our tattoos done at the same time. My sisters artist was Maria and mine was Sage. At the appointment, Sage was amazing, he put me at ease, talked me through the whole process and helped me deal with my anxiety around getting my first tattoo. After he started working and I realized it didn't hurt at all, I relaxed and everything went great! The art looks amazing, and both my sister and I are really happy! Thank you for such a great experience! I will definitely be back for more ink! read more

The staff was very friendly and entertaining during the process and I was well taken care of in terms of comfort. However, I believe I was charged an extra $200 (it was $200 per hour) just off the 30 minutes spent on consultation, which I don't think is worth it at all. I asked about this and I was told they charge by the hour and so even if the time spent on me in total was only around 2.5 hrs, I'd still be charged for the full 3rd hour. The time spent on my tattoo definitely took a little less than 2 hours, and I don't think I should be paying $600 for my tattoo. I understand it is pretty big in size but the design is simple with no shading, no fills, just lineart... when my friend got a full arm sleeve AND it's shaded for only around $500 at his place. P.S. I got my tattoo last year. I've just recently been looking through other tattoo services thinking of getting a new one and thought of leaving a review for this shop. read more

I'm a fan for life! The entire crew that's there are friendly and professional. The place is spotless and the machines are quiet!

Best damn artists I know. Jeremiah and rainie are amazing! They love what they do and are great artist real talent. From custom art work to free hand. Got the awards to prove it. idk what those other reviews are talking about maybe they didn't do their home work and went in drunk like some people who get there first tattoos do. I've been going to Jeremiah for ten years and will not let anyone else touch me. Don't believe me just go in and check out their work it speaks for it self. read more

I thought for $200 I would get a detailed green eggs and ham/bacon frying in a skillet but I have to say that I m very displeased with my first tattoo the lines are not straight there's no shading there's color missing in spots. I wasn't ware the trust tattooing me was an apprentice if I would have known that I wouldn't have gotten the tattoo at all so if you do go to Black heart studios make sure you're getting a true blue tattoo artist and not an Apprentice read more
