Due to her (well deserved) popularity the appointment was a ways out but it was well worth it. She works so fast and efficiently and is a delight to chat with. I now have two tattoos by her with a ton more planned and scheduled. The shop itself is lovely and clean. The front desk staff is lovely, and the bathrooms are well stocked with hairties and menstrual products. All the carts have snacks ready to go for the light headed. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

My cartilage piercing was infected for about a year, but I am told this is pretty typical. However, as soon as I took their jewelry out and replaced it, I haven't had any problems. Likewise, they pierced it with a ring instead of a stud which can complicate the healing process. Some of my friends have had even worse experiences with their nose piercings or eyebrow piercings getting really infected. If you're just getting lobes done it's probably fine. TLDR: cheap and not worth it. Pay a little more money for higher quality jewelry and better technique.

My tattooing experience is not very broad. Although I have six tattoos, I've only been to two…read moreshops. When I find an artist who does clean work that matches the vision of what I wanted why would I go anywhere else. At Goodspeed, George, Jeremy and Clarissa interact like you are visiting them at home. The decor of the shop is eclectic. The music is surprising. George has done 4 of my six tattoos. Once you develop a level of trust with an artist, getting ink done is much more enjoyable. On my most recent visit I brought my daughter for her first tattoo. Both of us are super happy with how the tattoos came out. Goodspeed is a great little local shop for getting your ink done. But a tattoo shop is not a salon or preschool. Be ready for the chaotic energy that goes with artists creating permanent pieces of art on people's bodies. I don't have plans for any new work, yet. But when I do, Goodspeed is where I will go.
