    I recently came here with my friend to keep her company while she got a cover-up tattoo. It may not seem like a "trendy" or "popular" place where young adults or college kids may go. However, the service there was exceptional! It's a hole-in-the-wall tattoo shop off Madison near downtown. The artists there have years of experience and a depth to their skill that I had not seen before. The man with the long hair sketched the anticipated tattoo FREEHAND. To back track.... We had previously gone in to Trilogy, and the artist there raved about how a solid black mannequin would cover up the old tattoo. OF COURSE a solid black image can cover up ANY tattoo. At this place however, we explained that she wanted her tattoo "Believe" to be covered up with a mannequin. And I suggested that a damask or paisley print would have to be a design on the mannequin to add/skew lines from the font of "Believe." As you can see, it came our GREAT! And it looks so much better than a black blob would've looked! Not to mention, the three men working there were very nice. They may look a little rough, but looks are deceiving. They were watching Family Feud, Jeopardy, and other GSN shows while we were there. Haha!

    Young artist aren't as experienced!!!! Eddie is gonna to rescue the other mistakes made by other artist, and i will confine to go to him!

    Eddie is the fuckin best at cover ups!!!!! He's super chill, experienced and makes you feel Comfortable.

    So happy with my cover up! Other shops said it would have to be a butterfly, but Eddie is artistic and experienced!!!Ask for him

    I couldn't be happier with this tattoo! I needed a cover up and other shops said "only flowers, or butterflies could be cover ups". Eddie, not only covered it up, but used his artistic imagination and talent to give me a tattoo I had been wanting. Plus, to be a cover up is pretty impressive. The detail is amazing and vibrant. I gave him an Idea and he tweaked it with his amazing skills!!!!! These artist aren't your stereotypical men, THEY'RE experts and so much better!!!! Ask for Eddie!!!!

    My husband and I were tattooed by Slim today, and what an experience! Slim and Dave were beyond professional and listened to what we wanted. They are very friendly, and I found myself not wanted to leave after my tattoo. I'm telling you it's like going back home after being away for a long while. I recommend them highly and I will be making return visits in the near future for more work.

    Cross with epilepsy ribbon and my daughters nickname!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

    How much do you charge for a tongue piercing?

    45 comes with jewelry

    How much would a little tattoo be with no color just an outline?

    Price is given with or with out colors. An outline gets shading for detail.

    I had a consult with Jordan Epperson in August, and it was my first consult for a tattoo ever. His…read morepresence was super positive, warm, and friendly, and when I told him the idea for my tattoo, he was able to interpret my thoughts well. Yesterday was the big reveal for my tattoo and his ability to interpret what I wanted onto paper and then skin was incredible. It is a floral piece and it is BEAUTIFUL. My tattoo lasted four hours and during that time, Jordan must have ascertained that I do better with talking because we held a conversation for four hours with no issues. He is hilarious, easy going, and like a best friend you haven't seen in a long time and you just picked right back where you left off. He is able to educate in a way that is not overly technical, and overall he is a positive, cool dude. 10 out 10 would recommend, 5 gold stars from me! Other positives: The lady at the front desk was also SUPER nice and easy going. Brent, one of the owners, and Alton, were also pretty cool dudes too. Love the BCT vibe. Can't wait to get my next tattoo!

    Brent Hale has put 40 hours of work into my sleeve and shoulder over the years. His specialty is…read moreAmerican Traditional. He has solid lines and great use of color. He runs a great shop that is super clean. They have lots of flash available but let the artists show you their work. Between all the artists they can get any style of tattoo. They are reasonably priced for tattoos and piercings. I highly recommend stopping by if you are looking to get new art.

    After bookclub it was decided a member wanted a nose piercing. I hoped of yelp and saw this tattoo…read morestudio wa sleds than 5min from the restaurant we were leaving. Really easy to find as I am familiar with the area. Prices were very reasonable. Immediately greeted upon entering and she started the digital checking process. The space was tidy and clean. Less than 5min later we moved to the back for her session. Jacie was amazing with my friend for her first time. She ensured she was comfortable throughout the session. Another friend, then decided she wanted a second ear piercing and Jacie handled that as well. They both recieved aftercare instructions as were pleased with service.

I cleaned it and kept up with the work every day and night. but this morning I woke up with the middle part basically engulfing the piercing. I never slept on that side or had added pressure. I posted a picture on reddit. you can read the comments and decide on the verdict (r/piercing : too far gone to save?) everyone in the comments suggested it was poorly pierced and I did not have the right anatomy for this piercing. Also was told that they gave me waaaaay too big of a bar. bigger bars are used for healing but this size of bar does more damage than good.. I wish i was told that i did not have the right ear anatomy for it instead of blowing 80 dollars at a shit job. Thanks for the "quality" service. Get your piercing done somewhere else.
