I will continue to recommend this place to any and everyone who will listen!…read more My daughter turned four in September and would not stop asking to get her ears pierced. With her being four, and knowing I didn't want just anyone doing her first piercings, I did extensive research and chose Bang Bang. Our appointment was for 1:30 and we got there about 20 minutes early. It was a good thing we did, as it gave her some time to settle into the place. The owner, Tiffany was very kind with her and got to her level to speak with her. She helped my daughter choose her earrings and after that they were friends LOL. Jay pierced her ears and he was probably the best piercer I've dealt with thus far. He was EXTREMELY patient with her and everything I could have asked for with someone doing this for my child. When one ear was done (and the tears were falling..) he gave her some time to recoup and both he and Tiffany came back into the room with a juice box and a smiley face stress ball....two and a half months later and she's still playing with it! As soon as the other ear was done, she was in LOVE. So thank you Tiffany and Jay for being so great with my kiddo! We will be back!!

Wow, I love Bang Bang Body Arts, and I love my new tattoo! I only got my tattoo yesterday, so I…read morecan't speak yet to the longevity of the tattoo, but it looks better than I could have even hoped for. It's perfect. Hector took a special concept and turned it into life for me. At my request, he gave me a heads up when he changed steps during the process, which eased my mind. Hector was the absolutely the right person to do my lightly colored, watercolor style tattoo. Store owner or manager (not sure but I think owner) Tiffany is great! She listened to me while I told her the story of my tattoo concept, and she came to check on me during the tattoo process, asking if I needed anything. A store employee also came to check on me and asked the same. I would really recommend Bang Bang Body Arts for tattoos based on the experience that I had yesterday. The shop is really clean, Hector seemed meticulous as he followed hygienic procedures, the waiting area is comfortable, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! I am extremely happy with an experience that meant a lot to me.

We went in the next day, The gallery was very welcoming, very clean and all of the artists were so friendly. Jacki was great to work with.

We felt right at home, and felt like we made a new friend while getting awesome tattoos! We both love our tattoos and hope to see Jacki again soon! Call Jacki for your next tattoo!

Extremely overpriced compared to the multiple other tattoo parlors I've been to, and my artist ripped her dab pen (marijuana) mid session on a 5.5 hour tattoo. Don't get me wrong I know people smoke and drive all the time but I'm paying $650 for u to make detailed art in ink on my body: let's not add a new challenge to the task. I didn't even feel confident in my design until there was 20 minutes left. The aftercare advice was different than any I've ever received (keep the plastic wrap on for two weeks with only two replacement films???) so naturally my skin broke out into hives due to the adhesive being on for more than 24 hours. also make sure ur phone is fully charged if ur going in for a long session Bc they simply don't want to converse with you.
