Let me begin by saying if you want a tattoo THIS is the place to get it. The skill level,…read moreexperience and quality are second to nothing. I did my research and after consulting several artists Dooner here at Up in Arms was my final answer! Let me just say that being my first tattoo I was cautious in finding a good artist in a clean, comfortable location. I could go on and on but who likes to read a long review so let me just say, the staff and Dooner are professional and friendly and are there for YOU. The entire experience from scheduling to the preparation to the actual appointment including aftercare was seamless and simple. Yes you must get an appointment months in advance, but you can possibly get a walk in as well. I booked mine three months out but I also had a 5 hour piece of art. Dooner was exceptional and handled my anxiety like a champ. I felt comfortable the entire time other than the first tattoo jitters I'm sure most go through. The parlor was clean and comfortable with a great music selection playing. Conversation was easy and the entire experience, AWESOME! I highly recommend Dooner or his colleagues for your next art piece. You will be stoked as I've already had many people compliment me on mine. I am already considering a second piece, and I know where I'll be going

I love Crayons Tattoo and all of the friendly workers! Even the studio lobby is awesome!…read more I went in 4 years ago and informed Devin what I had in mind for my tatt (my astrology symbol in turquoise behind black with high pointed stars around it). The next day when I went in & to my surprise he drew up (as a suggestion) purple as a background color instead of black. Devin said that just turquoise & black might be a little bland &/or dark, and he thought purple and turquoise would look perfect! It was even more beautiful than I imagined and I knew that was MY tattoo! Isn't that what you want in a tattoo artist? Someone that you explain what you want.. then when it's drawn up it looks even better than you pictured! It turned out beautiful when completed! I live 45 minutes away now but I'm 100% sure that while living in PA my tatts will be done here. I've also seen the great work they've done on my friends. Thanks again to Devin for my beautiful tattoo! UPDATE: I recently heard that Devin has went to work at another shop. However, I've heard nothing but great things about all of tattoo artist at Crayons.

Mike does phenomenal work, and I definitely recommend him to everyone who asks about my tattoos. The shop is spotless, and all of the artists are talented. I have gotten four tattoos here now with a total of nine sessions, and couldn't be happier with the outcomes. The only downside I can possibly think of is that Mike is good enough that he is often booked for several months in advance, but it is always worth the wait. This shop is one of the most reasonably priced I have ever been to. Also, a nice quality about this shop is that you can pay with a credit/debit card, but if you pay in cash, you get a slight discount.

Reposting from Google because I don't think my other review is warning enough people about the…read morepiercer's incompetence here: Went in for a double helix piercing on the recommendation of a coworker who'd had nipples done and loved her experience. Wish I could say the same for mine. I didn't realize until I went home and was shopping for replacement jewelry how much was wrong with my new piercings. First issue: he pierced my helix at 20G (no discussion prior, and they "don't stock jewelry" so I had no choice in the matter) and EVERYTHING you will find online says it should be 16 - 18 at minimum - to prevent tearing/cheese cutter/rejection in such a sensitive area. Secondly, he applied butterfly backs to close them!! They're a huge infection risk and don't allow enough room for post-piercing swelling. By day 3 I was in agony, the backing was fully pushing against my skin and it was ANGRY. I went to another piercer to have the jewelry swapped out for what it should have been in the first place - 18G titanium threadless. Thirdly, he recommends soap and water with q-tips to clean, when the standard recommendation is sterile saline. Antibacterial soap is too harsh on freshly pierced skin and apparently leads to more irritation. The other piercer told me Tom used to have a great reputation in the area, but that lately they've been getting more and more people coming to get his mistakes fixed at their shop. I would firmly NOT recommend getting pierced here. Now that the swelling has gone down, it's easy to see how HORRIBLY PLACED these piercings are - they're pointing fully under the curve of the ear! I don't even know if I'll be able to put hoops in these without them hitting the ridge instead. If only there were a license for piercers - Tom should lose his if there was! Added on months later: Since the healing process is several months along now and there isn't any more swelling on my ear, it's very easy to see just how badly pierced this helix was. One piercing completely rejected. The one I'm left with faces at a downward angle, and is completely hidden by the curve of the cartilage when viewed from a normal profile angle. It's unusable, and has to be taken out. I was never contacted by the shop OR the piercer following this review to offer to repierce or refund or ANYTHING: they clearly just don't give a shit about the quality of work they put out there in the world. What a waste of my time and pain and attention in keeping it cared for.

He will tell you if you don't have the proper anatomy for a piercing which is a GOOD thing. A couple of weeks after I had my tragus pierced, it got snagged in my hair and pulled out. My daughter and I desperately tried to get it back in, but only made it so much worse and more swollen. I called Tom and he told me to come in. He got it back in and gave me some instructions to help the damaged me and my daughter did. He told me to call him in a week or two with an update. Between my daughter and I we have about 15 piercings that were done by Tom. They all healed beautifully. I send everyone I know to Tom and they have the same experiences we have. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I wanted third piercings in my ears, but one ear needed the second hole redone as a previous piercer messed up the spacing.

There's a great vibe to the studio, the artists are all super friendly, and the amount of compliments I've gotten on my ink from them grows every day.

This place was recommended to me by a close friend. I've…read morehad 4 fairly large pieces and 1 small piece done by John (the owner) over the course of about a year. 3 in black and 2 in color. With that said; here are some insights that may be helpful: 1) You can see by the examples I've attached, he takes pride in his craft. Great detail work/realism and a good knack for placing tattoos in the proper place. 2) Pricing was always fair. You get what you pay for - quality work done with quality ink in a sanitary environment. 3) John has always kept to his schedule and was always ready to start tattooing upon my arrival to his shop. Sessions for large pieces go from anywhere between 3-4 hours. 4) his shop is clean and his tattoo area is organized. He always sanitizes the area you are getting tattooed before, during, and after the tattoo. 5) John has a great personality - we got a long great from the get go. He's super easy to talk to. 6) His shop is consistently booked so be patient getting a time slot booked. That was the first thing that shocked me - how far out he is usually booked; sometimes months. It's worth the wait though! In conclusion, I definitely recommend going here if you're looking for a tattoo artist in the Butler area.

He pierced my ears quickly with very little pain and they are perfectly even. The prices were great as well - I paid $50 for my second lobe piercings (both the service and jewelry) but honestly, I would have paid more just because it was such a blast to talk to him. My friend paid $35 for her cartilage piercing, which is by far the best price for miles around. Luckily, none of us passed out, peed, or did both in quick succession. The shop was clean and the other staff were very friendly as well. Overall, we had so much fun and Joe did a great job with all of our piercings!

I used to live right down the road from this place so figured I'd go there to get a quick, small tattoo. The tattoo is all line work - two triangle shapes and a check mark - not hard right? So I go to get my tattoo and walk out with this. The lines are completely inconsistent in color and thickness. If you look carefully, you can see where the thickness varies and the lines aren't straight. Since this was back in 2017, I have no idea who at the shop did this one. But that's my own fault for not caring enough until now.
