And I can't wait to go back for more. The shop is clean. The other artists there are cool. Music is a good mix, and prices are fair and reasonable. Parking is tight, so pass the shop a few feet and park on the side street. I HIGHLY recommend this shop and specifically Russ for any tattoos and piercings.

I really wasn't sure what to expect from this place since I'm brand new to Youngstown. Admittedly,…read moreI was worried at first since I passed a few streets that looked like the one I live on just blocks away. However, once I pulled up, I saw that the area is actually super cute and almost hipster-ish (but not in a douchey way!!) Once inside, I was immediately greeted by a friendly girl and shortly after another friendly girl as well. Since there were a few people ahead of me to get piercings, I chatted with them until it was my turn to get pierced. The gal (holy shitballs I sound like an old man for calling her that) who did the piercing was super nice and very friendly and didn't make me feel stupid. (She ALSO wiped away my tears as she pierced my nose!) All in all, this entire experience was excellent. everybody in the shop seems to have found the perfect harmony of friendly and professional, and I give them all mad props for that, and I will DEFINITELY be back, hopefully sooner rather than later.
