I had lost a nose ring and was too lazy to go buy a new one for a few weeks. I'm sorta new to town…read morebut I drive by kaleidoscope every day on my way to work, so I figured I'd pop in one day on my way home. I walked in and was immediately distracted by all the fun novelty stuff, as well as how clean and organized the store was. I wandered over to the piercing counter and was promptly helped. I always get the same jewelry so I can't speak to how great the selection is, but they had exactly what I wanted and for cheaper than usual. Since my piercing had been out for a while, the girl at the counter recommended that I have the piercer insert it for me, so I roamed around and tried to talk myself out of buying yet another purse with skulls on it while I wait. A few minutes later, I was called back to the piercing room which was clean and everything the piercer did was hygienic. I was in, out and on my way in just a few minutes. Was everyone so friendly that they wanted to stick around and chat? No, but they were as helpful as I needed them to be and would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a piercing or a unique gift.

I got my ears pierced here back in April and my ears have been irritated ever since. I have to get…read moreone ear re-pierced at a better location due to their lack of competence at the front (the people who sell the jewelry). Surgical steel is what they sell, and unfortunately, that type of material contains nickel. TRACE AMOUNTS. That's what they argued. My ear is full of scar tissue. So.... Money wasted. Thanks guys! Worst place for piercings. Can't imagine how a tattoo would go!

Original stash boxes…read more They also do piercings on the top floor and have a wide selection on any type of ring that you need (ear, nose, lip, eye, chin, cheek). They also have a pretty neat adult room for all the horny people out there. They finally got in kids band shirts actually got my youngest daughter a Led Zeppelin shirt. They do check ID at the door to even come in the store. But thats good because of all the snot ass kids getting busted everywhere for not knowing when to shut up.. Make sure to stop by if you get out that way

I came here with my brother's girlfriend over Thanksgiving from out of town. It's been a tradition…read morethat every thanksgiving when I visit, we go and get a piercing. We decided to try this place out for the first time. I wanted a double cartilage pierced and she wanted her belly button pierced. We both have many piercings and tattoos, so we both know the aftercare required to take care of them and prevent infection. The very next day my ear was pretty red and puffy, as was my brother's girlfriends, which we knew could happen. HOWEVER.. within three days of getting it done my ear was incredibly swollen all around and bruised entirely to the point it was going to my jaw. It was oozing and puss was coming out of both of them. It was so swollen it started affecting the other piercings I had in that same ear. When I got back to Chicago I went to my local piercer and he word for word said "who the hell did this?". He said a piercing should never look the way mine did, and I ended up having to go on an antibiotic for the infection and had to have ALL piercings in that ear removed including ones I have had for years. The chair, table, and tray were not sterilized in between my brothers girlfriends piercing and mine. We had been taking care of them like we would any piercing, and yet my ear is still tender to touch as of now. My friend ended up taking hers out as well due to the infection she had. Do NOT go here unless you want a botched piercing.

I then had the owner do a cover up, and it's okay but was way too expensive, also he was just complaining how much he hated tattooing and how he'd rather have a more "manual labor job." Yeah right.. My wife then got a tattoo from Diema "I think his name was, rode a chopped sporty" he was always high, and he put the tattoo at a weird angle; dropping it below the crease of her arm. Regardless another tattoo artist had to try and fix it.. All they do here is complain and want their money up front because they know they're gonna do a crappy job. So everyone should give the owner what he wants "a harder job" and don't go here.

Skylar Pratt is a dirtbag. I wish I never walked in this place. I would have been better off just…read moresetting fire to $200 because atleast then I wouldn't have this depressing tattoo on my arm. The turn over rate for artists in this place is worse than a nursing home. If you like to gamble if your tattoo will be good or not, by all means...go here. This place was only good when Dema worked there....He has his own shop now...just go there instead "Black Pigment " Skylar Pratt destroyed my arm. He posts stolen art that isnt his..embelisheswith A.I.. He added shading to my tattoo that I didnt approve while i was watching a movie, the line work was a disgrace and he didn't even finish even though i paid him in full! I asked for half my money back and he couldn't even do that. Then I asked John the owner to atleast give me the commission he made on this trash tattoo and he ghosted me. He told me he'd fix PART of the tattoo for me..not even finish it..just fix part of it for free...but his work is inconsistent and mediocre, so I passed. He told me in order to finish the tattoo id have time pay him $150 and hour! lol Even though i already paid for the tattoo in full and he still has some of that money in his pocket. The ego on the man is insane. To the people who say hes good...they're probably high af. I have many tattoos...my experience at ink slingers has caused me so much pain and heartache. Do yourself a favor and comment to ask me where to get a good tattoo and ill help you out. The methews and methanys are the only people keeping this place in business. oh yea, and be sure to ask if the artist is an apprentice or not..because they won't tell you!!
