I recommend this spot for piercings, when I was a ton I came here for a navel and layer in life, my nose ring. Now, my 17yr old got his snake bites and his septum. Very smooth process, the piercer walked us thru what was gonna happen, even told us his stories of his experiences. Reasonably prices, chill vibes, will be back for more piercings if needed. read more

I went in with a friend to get my conch pierced and felt a little nervous because I didn't know what to expect with the pain. Nando immediately acknowledged our presence and greeted us when we walked into the shop. After we told him which piercings we wanted, he went to the back to prep the room and brought us back promptly. He knew I was nervous, so he made it a point to engage in conversation, which made the overall experience much better. He made sure the placement was perfect, and I agreed. The piercing itself was quick, and it looked beautiful when it was done. I also needed new earrings for a previous piercing I had there, and he took his time changing them out. Nando was very patient, professional, and a pleasure to be around. He definitely understands the importance of providing high-quality service while creating the best experience for his clients. (For the record I get ALL my piercings at cool cat!) read more

Called in to see about a tattoo and was able to come in the same day. Rica helped me out with my tattoo and since it was small it took roughly 20 minutes. It looks great and I'm pleased with how it turned out. The price wasn't extreme either. The shop itself is hidden near the gas station and you either have to go through the gas station to get there or drive around the block. Shop was laid back and quiet but I can see it getting busier as the evening arrives. I will be back for other tattoo needs as they come up! read more

I came here for my first tattoo last fall and just got my second one a few days ago. Nando was great to work with for both. For the first tattoo, I already had a design in mind, but for my second one I knew what I wanted but didn't know what that would look like. We collaborated on the second one and I was really happy with the design. Obviously it's a tattoo, so they hurt a little (especially the one on my side), but Nando made it about as comfortable as it could be. He was also super professional. Everyone in the shop is also really nice, too. Really happy with how both tattoos came out. I'm not sure I'm getting any more soon, but will definitely be back if I decide to get a third. read more

Nando and all the other artists are hilarious and did a great job of making me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. I have a fight that I'm training for in a couple months, so I won't be able to see Nando for my last session until after that. But here is what my tattoo looks like right now.

I will preface this by saying that I did not end up getting a tattoo by this particular person (DESTINY), but their customer service was SO BAD/unprofessional that I felt inclined to leave the review anyway. To begin, I hardly had any communication with her, because she would only respond to my cousin's messages (who also had an appointment with her). She first claimed that she did not work sundays, but was willing to open up that day for us because we were both getting multiple tattoos. She then told my cousin our slot was only from 12-5pm. My cousin and I both wanted "smile now, cry later" faces with writing, I wanted a cartoon style portrait; and my cousin wanted a rose and some lettering. I've been to several tattoo artists both for myself, and to watch other people get tatted and I've never seen anyone knock out that much work in 5 hours, SO I changed my mind about what I wanted so as to not feel like my tattoo was being rushed. According to this tattoo artist, she does not sketch out people's ideas until the morning of their appointment, so I did not think this was going to be a problem. Unfortunately i had a family emergency a few days before my appointment, and nearly landed myself in the hospital for severe panic attacks. I had my cousin message the tattoo artist to let her know that I would not be able to go (since, you know, she would never respond to my messages.) Not only was my grandmother in critical condition but my mental health was declining and I knew I was not going to be able to sit through a tattoo. My $100 deposit had been sent months prior, but I figured if I sent someone in my place, it wouldn't be a waste of money. So that's exactly what I did. However, she kept my deposit, and charged both of my cousins for their tattoos. I called the shop, very upset, after I heard that my deposit had not been used on either one of my cousins, and was told that this particular artist was not in but that they would relay my message. I never got a call or message back (: so I dm'd her on Instagram. It took me reaching out via phone + Instagram for her to respond. Not professional at all! Her excuse was that she was already upset with my cousin and I changing our minds about our tattoos (even though she claimed to not work on sketches until the day of + it's something permanent on MY body; you'd think I'd be allowed to change my mind) AND she claimed to give my cousins a really good deal which was why she decided to keep my deposit. Which made absolutely zero sense because her minimum is $100 and both of my cousins got three tattoos. You would think she would've just charged them full price and refunded MY money. She would have made more money that way. Anyway, I was denied my deposit, and the entire situation still seems very unprofessional to me, which is why I decided to leave the review. read more

I was nervous from the start but some other girls in the lobby area were also waiting and one of them told me the nipples don't hurt too bad and I took good faith in her. From there, I went to the back and the guy I believe is Jesse took great care of me. He gave me the whole rundown on how I'm supposed to take care of them. The sea salt soaks and that I have to be careful when cleaning them. He also asked me about sizes and how noticeable I wanted them. The forcepts he used came from a sterilized pouch and so did the jewelry. Once he got me set, he marked me and I laid back on the chair and from there he was very gentle and quick while doing it. He talked to me while he was doing it so I was calmer than I thought I would be. The first one hurt but the second definitely hurt more. However he also explained that when I am healing up that for later I can go back and see the jewelry he has and he will replace it for me and take care of me and charge me the price of the jewelry. He is a very great piercer and I am glad I trusted him with my nipples. He charged $55 for both nipples. I'm on day two of having these piercings and after sleeping I feel totally fine. A little discomfort after the sea salt soak, but honestly feel normal. I was expecting to feel sore but the way he pierced me was great. TLDR; Jesse is a top tier piercer, he gave me great nipple piercings and talked me through it. Great prices and gives you the whole rundown for aftercare. Nipple Piercings are $55.

Dude told me 2 sessions…read morewhich we did, and ended up having to finish it with another guy because he wanted $500 a session for little to no work, after the first day I was just trying to keep hope, but once I went back I realized he just wanted to scam me. He will do Just about maybe 1-2 hours of work each day, just wants to smoke a cigarette every other 15 minutes, so plan to make no progress Everytime you go because of that. I'm going to insert a picture of my chest tattoo, and you guys can decide if you would like to come here. 0/10 don't recommend. He did only the left side of my chest and the middle, not even my traps or anything. Wanted like 2k for one side of the chest which would've been reasonable had he had been somewhat decent of a tattoo artist. I wish I never went here

Nando Olmos is a great artist! I have been in to get 2 half sleeve sized tattoos so far that were cover ups which is no easy feat by any means. He has always been very professional at his work and did an amazing job! I can't wait to get back in soon. I love my work by Nando and have already scheduled future appointments to complete my work and will continue to have him as my only artist for myself and highly recommend him to anyone! @nandolmos keep up the great work! read more

Honestly the best place to get a tattoo, especially if its your first time. Iwas very happy that I got my first tattoo here! I was also very happy and satisfied with how my tattoo came out! Nando and Rica made this experience so much fun, I felt comfortable and could have a conversation which kept me relaxed! Love the environment, it's fun, chill and welcoming. Honestly the only place I will get my tattoos! Thank you Nando & Rica! Can't wait till my next tattoo! (: read more

Amazing place for tattoos! Friendly and welcoming environment for anyone who wants to get tattooed. I have gotten two tattoos thus far from Fernando Olmos and have not been disappointed with the results of the finished product. I definitely will be a repeat customer for these reasons alone. Fair prices and great quality. Fernando is as professional as they come. Can't wait for my next piece! read more

I was nervous from the start but some other girls in the lobby area were also waiting and one of them told me the nipples don't hurt too bad and I took good faith in her. From there, I went to the back and the guy I believe is Jesse took great care of me. He gave me the whole rundown on how I'm supposed to take care of them. The sea salt soaks and that I have to be careful when cleaning them. He also asked me about sizes and how noticeable I wanted them. The forcepts he used came from a sterilized pouch and so did the jewelry. Once he got me set, he marked me and I laid back on the chair and from there he was very gentle and quick while doing it. He talked to me while he was doing it so I was calmer than I thought I would be. The first one hurt but the second definitely hurt more. However he also explained that when I am healing up that for later I can go back and see the jewelry he has and he will replace it for me and take care of me and charge me the price of the jewelry. He is a very great piercer and I am glad I trusted him with my nipples. He charged $55 for both nipples. I'm on day two of having these piercings and after sleeping I feel totally fine. A little discomfort after the sea salt soak, but honestly feel normal. I was expecting to feel sore but the way he pierced me was great. TLDR; Jesse is a top tier piercer, he gave me great nipple piercings and talked me through it. Great prices and gives you the whole rundown for aftercare. Nipple Piercings are $55. He only uses sterilized jewelry. 10/10 will definitely come again.

Ended up getting a kewpie tattoo and the artist that did my tattoo was @pbtats on ig. She's definitely not an experienced tattooer. Instantly regretted getting it done right when I seen how crooked and deformed my kewpie looked. Literally so bummed. Tbh I do not recommend this place to anyone. I'm so embarrassed to show my tattoo to anyone. It's so ugly and I wish they would at least fix it, but didn't even bother to reach out due to it maybe looking worse if fixed. Ultimately do not come here, low quality tattoos. The service sucked and the artist are not experienced.
