He was thorough in explaining why he was doing what he did. This piercing isn't super common so I had a lot of questions and had been researching for a few months how the piercing should be done, however I'm still not the professional. Anyway he freehanded my piercing after marking it several times to make sure we were both super happy. He also added in a travel size neilmed for "keeping me so long" My experience was nothing short of phenomenal. I will be going back to size down my jewelry as well as any further piercing needs. Thanks Brad!!

The staff is not knowledgeable about anything. The prices are high and I was sold a septum that was way too small and even though it didn't come out of the package they wouldn't give me a new one, I had to completely buy another one. I'd never trust this shop

Took my daughter in for a Helix and doubles. paperwork is not, it's all on an ipad which was nice…read more Staff extremely friendly and helpful (she was nervous). Do the forms, pick your jewelry, pay, get pierced. Mike Moore was absolutely amazing with everything... he put my daughter at ease, talked her through every single step (I was allowed in the room with her during the piercing) and in general made this an exciting, memorable event. HIGHLY recommend and am thankful - Mike's empathy and compassion was clear and appreciated. Aftercare instructions were very clear and repeated several times, till he was sure she understood. I can't give 6 stars so 5 will have to do!

The piercing was booked with Ben on a Friday after the holiday at 3:30 when the place was jam packed with walk-ins. Somehow Ben and Al, who greeted us and helped us prior to our appt, were able to manage all of us and communicate along the way. They were awesome and their teamwork and service was top tier. They also both hyped me up about my stud and totally unprompted. My only regret is not booking another appt simultaneously when it was open LOL! Ben is by far the best piercer I've ever had. He also saved my sister fees by piercing her ear with a dull needle so she only had to pay for the jewelry. Overall I would recommend them to anyone! Worth the price and the wait. Looking forward to another appt when I'm in town again! Also very sterile vibes and Ben took time between appts to sterilize and change gloves even though I was with my sister.

The guy in the center tattooing was condescending and rude. At one point he told us to be quiet as we talking amongst ourselves . WTF, am I in a library? Decided upon not to get the tattoo. RULE 1: if a place makes you uncomfortable, do not do it. Glad I stuck to my decision as my other two friends got theirs which was larger than they wanted and not the design they wanted as they were told "that has too much detail (on a palm tree..really?!) but we can do an outline of a palm tree". ummm, noooo. $60 dollars later for a permanent tattoo that they did not envisioned that was larger than the design they brought in. Worst. Place. Ever. If I could get this place in -5 I would.

The Shop: First, everyone in the shop was very welcoming, very friendly, and made you feel at ease immediately. Second, that shop is SPOTLESS. Everything is super clean, as any prospective client would be hoping to see. Third, they clearly care about the tattoo experience, whether you are coming in for something intricate and involved, or something simple that will take an hour from setup to finish.

I have been a customer of Ben's for years and trusted him enough to complete my sleeve. I always…read morepaid for my appointments, tipped generously, and recommended him to many friends and family. Unfortunately, today's experience completely changed my opinion. Ben had to cancel our appointment because the shop was having HVAC issues, which I completely understood. I wasn't upset about the cancellation at all. I simply called afterward to ask if there was another appointment available later that day because my daughter is leaving tomorrow morning and we were hoping we could still get our tattoos. Instead of simply saying there wasn't another available time, I was met with a rude and confrontational attitude. He immediately brought up past rescheduled appointments and spoke to me as though I had done something wrong just for asking if another time was available. The tone of the conversation was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Afterward, he sent me text messages claiming I had canceled "8 or 9 times" over the past year, which I strongly disagree with. I apologized for any inconvenience my past reschedules may have caused and explained that I wasn't calling to complain--I was only asking if there was another available appointment. When I asked about the $100 deposit I had left with him, he told me he intended to keep it because of those alleged cancellations. We had never agreed that my deposit would be forfeited under those circumstances. Rather than continue arguing, I simply replied, "Keep it with you. No problem." What disappointed me wasn't the $100. It was being spoken to with disrespect after years of being a loyal customer. I had trusted Ben with my sleeve, always paid my appointments, tipped well, and recommended him to many people. Despite that history, he ended our conversation by telling me to "have the day you deserve," followed by "Having a great day so far ." Ben is a talented artist, but professionalism and respect matter just as much as talent. Sadly, after today's experience, I will not be returning, and I can no longer recommend his business.
