The studio itself is so cute, super clean & has such a warm feminine welcoming vibe. Everyone was beyond sweet and made me feel really comfortable. Salem did my back dermals & they ended up being more difficult than expected (superrr painful) but she was extremely patient & handled everything with so much care & compassion. I've been having a rough few months mentally & I got these to cheer myself up so it meant a lot :) You can tell they truly care about their clients and creating a safe environment. I would definitely recommend to anyone. I wish they allowed videos bc Id love to promote!!! people need to know about this gem of a place

W ent two months ago to get a jewelry change done. Pretty sure they put the wrong size in since it…read morestill hurts. Messaged them about coming in and was told to come in. Let them know I'd be coming after work (literally told them I get off at 7:15 in Elgin) she said sounds good. Yesterday I get there at 7:45 and they were gone! No one was there. Called and sent them a fb message. Not once did anyone mention they stop taking walk in at 7:30pm. I drove 25 min each way. Gas is around $5 a gallon. Their response was even crazier. Blaming being short staffed on Sunday but that was irrelevant. Then also told me I have to pay for new jewelry even if it is their fault on sizing. I wanted to love them so bad. The shop is so cute and the girls are sweet. But the lack of communication is ridiculous. Especially since I messaged them before 7:30pm yesterday to say I'm coming!

When you choose a piercer it is important to pick one that is not only talented but kind. That is…read morewhat you are getting here. An added bonus is that he is easy to talk to as well. He helps you to feel at ease. Yesterday I got pierced for the 2nd time by him. The first time was to repierce my belly button after a tummy tuck. When I first went to have it done he educated me on how it was too soon to do it and my body would probably reject it. He advised me to come back in a few months and see if it could be done then. I did just that and he pierced it beautifully. No rejection. Yesterday I had him add a piercing to each ear. He patiently listened while I thought over and over about exactly where I wanted them. (Move it a little this way, move it a little that way) It is possible that I went with the original location that he chose. They look great.

The shop was super clean, professional, and had a really welcoming vibe the moment I walked in. The staff made me feel comfortable and took the time to go over every detail of my design so I knew exactly what to expect. My artist was incredibly skilled and precise -- you can tell they really care about their craft. The line work is super clean, the shading came out perfect, and the whole process was way smoother than I expected. They checked in with me the whole time to make sure I was doing good and comfortable.

I got an automatic reply that it would take a day or two for them to get back to me. It took a few days longer than that (maybe 4-5 days), but that didn't bother me. The facility was very clean and everyone I talked to was super friendly. Uriel (the artist who did my tattoo) was great, he listened to my idea for the tattoo and was able to make a quick mock up to confirm it was what I had in mind. I'm ecstatic about the amount of detail he was able to include in the design (the tattoo is about 3.5" by 2"). The small skeletons include so much more detail than I thought would be possible, and the shading on the tattoo looks great, especially around the bells. He did say that some of the detail might be lost when the tattoo scabs over and fully heals, but that I'd be able to come back in for touch ups if that happens.

Kevin Harden is the man. You should see my tattoo. Ever since he worked on me, that's been my…read morefavorite body part. I just went there yesterday to brainstorm the other shoulder with him. So when I went to him, he really explained to me how tattoos should work with the part of the body that you want done. You can't just get anything and put it anywhere. Me not being artistic at all, never would've figured this out, but when he explained it to me and showed me on my body why this worked, why that didn't work - it made total sense. Second thing - I didn't even have a specific idea of what I wanted. I gave him a really general idea of what I wanted...basically a motif. I had no real idea of type of art or style. He basically consulted me through the whole thing with my vague-ass not helping at all. He comes back a week later with like 8 different sketches of what he's come up with and I like all of them. He told me which one was his favorite, and obviously it was the boldest and scariest one to get done of them all. But he explained to me the impact and effect of getting it done and why he chose it. After thinking about it and him calling me a wuss because i was worried about the pain in my freaking armpit (!) I was like, "Let's do it" (like the guy in the FedEx Kinkos commercial that keeps talking a big game). Two weeks later, I was more than happy with how it turned out. Two years later it's still badass everytime I look at it. Really messes people up when they see it too. Oh yeah, it does mean something too. Go to Kevin, go to his website. Look at his art. Talk to him. Seriously, if you want to get something done its worth the drive to sit down and brainstorm with my man. Unless you know someone personally in the city, if you go into anyone of the shops and try and get something custom done with just a general idea, the artists aren't really going to help you. That's been my experience - like I wasn't worth the time or something. Kevin's different. I think he'll take the time. Just don't ask him for an armband or a butterfly. You'll have a long drive home, or you can go shopping at the outlet mall instead to make yourself feel better after he kicks you out for asking him to do a daisy on you ass. I'm just sayin'...if you go you better man up. Or woman up.
