    Latest wrist tattoo by Katelynn. I love it so much!
    Brisa M.

    I've been to Cryptid Ink three times now and only get tattooed by Katelynn. She is amazingly talented, especially for someone so young! Her fine line work is phenomenal, and the reason I keep coming back to get tattooed by her. I often feel bad when getting a new tattoo, because I make several requests to change something here or there, and I know each minute is valuable in every session. Katelynn, however, is always very patient and accommodating, ensuring she wants me to be completely satisfied with what I am getting. She is a sweetheart, and I highly recommend getting your next tattoo with her!! Oh, and she has a cute little surprise for her clients at the end of every session!

    The artwork!

    Absolutely amazing work! Nyla is a great artist and is always listening to little changes you want to make in your artwork, you can tell she is passionate about what she does and will take care of you! Check out her instagram @sntnanyla.ink I will definitely be coming back to finish up my sleeve with her.

    NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME I love Cryptid Ink especially my tattoo artist Nyla (aka sntnanyla.ink on insta) not only is she an amazing tattoo artist just an amazing human being, but overall easy to talk to She always makes sure that her clients are comfortable and very respectful and most of all my favorite part super funny I have six tattoos from Nyla and safe to say I'm not done. She knows exactly how to bring my ideas to life there has not been a single tattoo that I have not absolutely fallen in love with she is super understanding definitely recommend hitting her up if you are looking for somebody with an overall just amazing personality and even more amazing work

    Got my tattoo by mars @acidcasual.tattoo overall wonderful experience and great vibe. Mars & the cryptid inc crew made me feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the duration of the tattoo. I gave Mars a general idea of what i wanted and they went ahead and embellished the piece beyond my expectations. I love my tattoo and i am forever thankful to Mars for making my first tattoo experience and memorable one. (':

    I've been tattooed by Mars a few times now & my experience with her is unmatched. If you want someone who is super accommodating, grounded, and talented I highly recommend her

    I haven't had a tattoo in 3 years so I was nervous at first, but Nyla was the sweetest and made me feel so comfortable. She had the lightest hand because I felt no pain! I gave her such a vague description of what I wanted & when I got there, had exactly what I thought in my head! All the tattoo artists were so nice and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and get another one. Thanks again Nyla for not only the tattoo, but for recommendations on things! Girl you're the best!

    First, we love Nyla. Check out her insta @sntnanyla.ink My experience at Cryptid was amazing. I grew up in the area and my oldest son lives out there. I flew in from Washington twice and got work done by Nyla. My son also got his first tattoo from Nyla. She is professional, honest, communicative, and incredibly talented. Her taste in music is pretty damn good too. My only complaint is that I live so far away! I highly recommend her. The whole process was awesome and felt more collaborative than artist directed. She has great ideas too. I get compliments from other tattoo artists and random people daily. Nothing but love for her and everyone I have interacted with over there.

    Definitely recommend getting tattooed at this place! Very chill and super clean environment. I got tattooed by Ryan (@ryan._.burger on Instagram) and really enjoyed the experience at this shop! It's a relaxing environment and I got to pick what movies to watch during the tattoo. The tattoo I got looks fantastic and it was an overall great experience. If you're considering getting tattooed here, I'd say do it. I'll be going back for sure! Update: added healed photos

    I have been going here for a little over a year for all of my tattoos! Nyla (@sntnanyla.ink on insta) is so so talented and so kind. She works with you and makes sure you get exactly what you want and does exceptionally quality work! I won't be seeing anyone else for my tattoos!

    Absolutely love this studio. The vibe, the location, the lighting and the staff are all so so so amazing. I've gotten three different tattoos from Maria (Mars aka @acidcasual.tattoo on insta) and she always makes the sessions so comfortable and fun! Absolutely insane artist as well. Her linework and artistic ability is beyond perfect. And the fact that its women owned and operated is just *chefs kiss*

    I came to cryptid for the first time a few weeks ago to get my tattoo done by Mars. She, along with the other tattoo artists, made me feel welcomed and made the entire experience very comfortable as my tattoo lasted several hours. Her attention to detail is amazing! My tattoo is all healed now and looks great. I came to her with a vision and she went above and beyond. I receive so many compliments!. I am def going back for more

    I've been getting my tattoos done by Veronica for a while now and she does amazing work every time I see her! She's super cool and definitely chill to hang out with and talk to for hours while she's working on me. I went to see her recently for a new arm piece at Cryptid Ink and the shop itself is littered with a variety of cool artwork all over the walls. The artists definitely know their stuff and the welcoming atmosphere makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place! 5/5

    hi everyone. this is a review for sntnanyla.ink (nyla)! i discovered cryptid ink through the owner kaitlyn's page a few years ago and have been working with nyla since june 2023 when she completed my "333" as a part of a flash deal. booking with her was a breeze, where she explained her non-refundable deposit policy to secure the appointment/time and that it goes toward the total cost of your tattoo. my first impression was that the shop is clean, comfortable, and very cute! you can tell there's a lot of love put into their craft/overall experience for the client. there's so much diversity with what everyone offers stylistically so there's something for everyone! nyla was (and still is) super sweet and professional. my first tattoo that she completed healed PERFECTLY. my experience with her was so overwhelmingly positive that i decided to work with her moving forward on a full body piece that i wanted to design with my artist. this was a multi session, wrap around laurel wreath that extends from my right arm/shoulder, wraps across my back and thigh, extends onto my ribs, and then down my entire left leg. this took five very long sessions to complete. some of them lasting three to eight hours. nyla hand drew my entire design of each section of my vines/leaves EVERY session. throughout this process, nyla was incredibly accommodating and transparent with pricing. safe to say, i am incredibly satisfied with my experience working with her and cannot wait to work with her moving forward on future tattoos.

The shop is always clean and professional, and the staff always take extra care to ensure everything is completely sterilized. They're also very honest about anatomy and healing viability, especially with uncommon or complex piercings. My first time in the shop around two years ago, I went for a vertical double conch orbital piercing. They were very straight forward about it being painful, complex, and difficult to heal. All through the healing process Rose was quick to answer my messages on Instagram, and she even went to the trouble of custom ordering me a piece of jewelry for it once it finally healed. Another time I visited the shop to see Mason, with just an idea of wanting something new in one of my ears. He brainstormed with me for a while, and we decided on a faux snug that also turned out absolutely perfect. I recently had neck surgery and have had to take all of my 14 ear piercings in and out multiple times. Logan always takes everything out for me and puts retainers in the holes that need them. When I come back in they sterilize all of my jewelry (even the pieces I bought elsewhere), and put everything back in for me. They even remember where all 14 pieces go back in my ears at this point because I've had to have Logan do this for me like five times over the last few months.

They explain all the information and pros and cons of potential decisions very clearly, never make you feel rushed, and give you honest advice in your best interest, even when it's at the cost of them making more money. And most importantly they are incredibly kind and make the process fun! I got my third ear lob piercings done by Mason over a year ago and had a great experience throughout the piercing process. Both he and Logan made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process from exploring concepts together, helping me pick jewelry, decide what type of piercing to do and where, and actually doing the piercing. The studio and the piercer's sanitation processes were top notch. The piercing process was as painless as possible and the communication throughout the entire process made it easy and comfortable. Even though I don't live close to this shop and there are other piercing studios nearby to me, I wanted to come to Rainbow Piercing to help me when I had an issue with my naval piercing because I knew I could trust them. Mason helped me again today when I couldn't get my navel piercing put back in. I had left my jewelry out for a week and I couldn't install it into the piercing by myself because the piercing had collapsed and trying to put the a piece in was painful, really tight, and dangerous to do by myself. They walked me through the process and were able to quickly and sanitarily install a piece into my piercing using a tapered tool. Once again, he made me feel very comfortable with knowing what to expect and making it happen as painlessly as possible. I would pick Rainbow Piercing 10 of 10 times and can't wait to get another piercing here!

I'm big on professionalism when I call a business and outer limits met and exceeded all my expectations. When I walked in for my appointment with Lucas I was blown away by how clean/sterile this place was. I was actually quite shocked it was also a tattoo shop as well just by the beautiful appearance. The receptionist was again super nice and Lucas my piercer (I randomly picked because I didn't know anyone there) ended up being extremely knowledgeable on how to troubleshoot my angry nose piercing that didn't seem to want to behave. He also didn't leave me hanging with just one appointment, he has also been on call via text for me anytime I need help or have any questions. He also has the best vibe too. I would and already have recommended this shop and Lucas to anybody looking for a piercing.

I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

Simba responded promptly and the appointment and forms were so easy! I mean, I had a little user error (wear your reading glasses if you're over 40 like me!) but Simba was so kind to give me a call to help. The shop was super cool, clean, and bright! I found the warm wood colors of the walls really calming. Even more so, Simba was super calming. He was informative, thorough, and professional. I am glad we found him so I can tell my friends about his shop. I felt uber comfortable in his space and am even more delighted by my cute be piercings!

    I thought for a long time over leaving this review or not, but I just had a very poor, insanely…read morestressful experience. I appreciate how Simba displays care for his craft, but there were many red flags during my experience. My partner and I had requested stainless steel right away for our piercings clarifying we didn't need a titanium upgrade as we have no sensitivities even after the sales pitches, but once Simba told us the price at the end it was much higher than originally quoted, so we corrected him and he said he pierced us with titanium. Not once in the process was this made known to us. This was an extra $40ish to our total that we had no choice but to pay, when we have no sensitivities or allergies and are used to stainless steel jewelry. Simba was very salesman-y and tried to have us purchase many things until I requested to take them off the total, which I get from a business perspective but it made things a bit uncomfortable. I was familiar with the products too as we sell them at my work, and they are not soundly necessary for piercing aftercare. Any clean saline spray works great. The main problem came with my vertical labret piercing, which the end ball fell out 1-2 hours after he pierced me. I was standing when it fell out, and i didn't even notice until I saw my lip. I had to go back and get it fixed, which I do appreciate that Simba came back to help and screw a new one in. Then, 2 weeks later, my piercing fell out again when I was sitting in a car on a road-trip to another state. I never touched my piercing or did high movements out of caution. Once again only noticed when I saw my lip in a mirror. It was an insanely stessful experience where my piercing came out from the top of my lip and I had to shove it back in with blood leaking down my chin during a food stop in front of my family. Appetite ruined. Though Simba referred me to someone he knew in the area I had to pay to get the ball replaced, and this piercer was amazing. Johnny from Club Tattoo. My body was in shock from everything and I was not all the way there but he was very kind and I wish he was local to the area. He mentioned that per Simba's instructions (which were rather outdated, uncommon, and bizarre: clean the piercing 3 times a day with a spray and then 1 more time with a specific foam soap), I was over cleaning my irritated piercing and needed to let it be instead. I was only spraying it 3 times a day as I thought the soap was overkill, and spraying it 1-2 allowed it to heal better. The real kicker was, once this piercer switched my bottom ball out (Simba was telling me to buy a whole new piercing), it never fell out again! Not even once. I was even worried as the jewelry base was different. And I was very careful out of fear at first but then I started continuing my workouts and being not careful at all, bumping it etc, it still never fell out and lasted me about 5 months, perfectly in fact, until I had the courage to downsize it with The Piercing Shop (they were also very kind, low stress, and told me not to pay more for titanium when I asked as a precaution bc stainless steel works just fine). I even considered going back to Simba to downsize but never got a response. I'm unsure how things could've gone so wrong here, and it was personally a bad experience for me and my partner whose piercing had no room to be downsized as well and hasn't healed well. 2 stars for the early effort in communication at least, but overall a very poor personal experience
