    First piece done by Holli Marie
    Josie L.

    I had been thinking of getting my ribs inked for a while, and on a whim while driving down Route 66 stopped by to check their hours. I was fortunate to run into Holli Marie who was on break outside on a bench, and asked if she or any of the artists were into realism or tattoos that required fine details, and told her about my tattoo idea (a blue rose which I saw in a dream). She said she would love to do it, and the next thing I know I've made an appointment with her and I'm lying on my side while she's prepping. I'll start by saying how much I appreciated her enthusiasm about doing my tattoo. Not only was she clearly interested in what she was drawing, she was genuinely interested in the meaning behind it. Secondly, she really helped meeting in the middle of what I wanted; with my poor ability in describing details and her and her artistic insight, she created a beautiful blue rose that looked just like the one from my dream. The swirls she added around it, which varied in shades were an amazing touch. She impressed me further when she touched up my back piece, a hamsa I had gotten years ago from an artist who was clearly not interested in making it pop or symmetrical. It now looks like it could leap from my back. I don't know about the other artists there too much, but I will say that I plan on being Holli's customer for at least two more pieces. If you can book with her, do it :)

    Jay Makes Holes - New septum and repierced eyebrow

    I went with a friend to get my eyebrow repierced and get my septum pierced. My friend also got her…read moreseptum. We had a little bit of trouble finding the place as he doesn't have a sign yet, but once we found it we were pleasantly surprised. Once inside you're met with a very clean waiting room with comfortable seating. It's a very calm environment which is important when you're having anxiety about getting a needle shoved through your body. Jay was very laid back, funny, extremely informative and knowledgeable. He was also understanding and did what he could to calm my nerves. It's been probably 18 years since I had gotten a piercing so I was a tiny bit on edge. He answered every obnoxious question my friend and I had without getting annoyed... if he was annoyed he certainly is good at hiding it. The entire process was really quick. I appreciated that because the longer something takes...the more time I have to get worked up over it. Once he was done he explained where the used needles go and where he sends the tools to be sterilized. When it came time to pay he went over what to use for cleaning. He didn't try to sell us what he has and even said we can find it cheaper elsewhere. My friend and I bought it there as it's convenient and we respected him for his honesty. Overall, he was very nice and if I ever need another hole put in me...I'll let Jay do it.

    Jay is wonderful. He knows what he is doing and is very proffesional.He answered all my questions…read moreand really has a way about him that makes you feel comfortable to ask him anything.I would not go to anyone else.

My clients have left many good reviews for me that I EARNED with hard work and good customer service but they are hidden because my clients apparently don't use Yelp enough. The reviews go straight into "not recommended" and the business I show up for every day has 2 stars. Well, I use Yelp. I've got some credibility on this predatory website and today I'm going to use it. Turnpike tattoo has been in business for 2 decades. I got the second tattoo I've ever had in my life here about 15 years ago by Kelly Doty. A lot of great artists started out at this shop. Over the years prior to my employment I would stop by turnpike on a whim with friends and get small tattoos as walk ins. I've never had a bad experience here as a client or as an employee. I'm sure this entire review is against the rules but at least our business isn't paying Yelp to remove our bad reviews like everyone else is. Here are some tattoos I've done recently.

    Came here for my second nose piercing a few weeks ago. As always, the piercing room is pristine. I…read morelike that youre not out in the open and you can have some privacy; they also do intimate piercings.
