They do accept walk ins, the space is huge nicely decorated.I'm pretty private even though the booths are open. Shout out to Paul, his kindness was everything. Super chill dude, real good work. He said that one of the artist was trained in Japanese tattooing. So for those of you who are looking for that, check out their Instagram. She wanted our family motto tattooed on her arm, and we were gonna write it on paper.But Paul let us just write it on her arm, and then he traced it.

I was also recommended against piercing with hoops by the people working in the jewelry cases, for which I am also grateful for. Overall, the piercing was a very pleasant experience. Everyone was so nice and patient, which put me at ease as I was very nervous. I cannot recommend Lars enough; they were very kind with me

Very clean and contentious of being sanitary (frequent glove changes, everything covered in a protectant, etc.) Danny drew the design right on my skin rather than using transfer paper etc. I feel like It came out really well. He really "slammed the ink in" since fingers are one of those places that don't take in the ink easily. Looks great on the 2nd day. I'll update once it's fully healed. Thank you danny!

Loved him for the cubist work he does and now I love him even more for how original my tattoo is. I came in with an idea of what I wanted and when it came time for me to actually tattoo, Dave exceeded my expectations in design. It was so dope. During the session, we watched two movies on the huge projectors in the shop. We were in a temp space, I think, as they were renovating the main place. Either way, everyone I interacted with was super kind, really funny, and just all around great people. I left kind of sad as we had spent 4 hours pretty much kickin it while I got my tat. Looking forward to get more work done here with Dave! --------------------- Don't really know about the tattoos, but my piercing experience was great! I felt the need to get a nose piercing and found Pino Bros through Yelp. I walked in and it was pretty busy, but I immediately was greeted by someone at the front and was taken care of (already impressed). The guy that greeted me told me that it would only be a few minutes because someone was ahead of me which was fine. I didn't mind. I only waited maybe 8 minutes until Aaron walked up to me and introduced himself. He immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew it was going to be a great experience. Aaron walked me through everything and made me feel at ease. Super sweet guy. Everyone there is pretty nice and I would highly recommend!

Marina was running the shop herself and took care of 3 clients in a short period of time without rushing. she was super kind and helpful even though i didn't get my piercing here. she let me know my options and i chose to replace the bottom disc of a floating naval with a ball since the disc was digging into me. after she replaced the disc, i nearly immediately started feeling better. the disc had swollen the area around my naval, but the ball nearly immediately settled it. the bar already seems much longer due to the swelling going down after about 14 hours. she was patient, helpful and caring. i appreciate that she cared about my healing more than the place i got the piercing done from! and i love her pink gloves and matching supplies. comfortable waiting room, piercing room, good vibes. i love that they separated the piercing and tattoo sections. wonderful customer service. thank you for not treating clients like a burden.

I had a very disappointing experience with Zach Young. The tattoo I received looks nothing like the…read moredesign we discussed and agreed upon beforehand. I came in with clear ideas and references, but very little of what I asked for was actually incorporated into the final piece. What's most frustrating is the apparent lack of effort. When I compare my tattoo to other work he has done, the difference in quality and attention to detail is hard to ignore. My piece feels rushed and poorly executed, with minimal care taken to match the concept we had planned. Getting a tattoo is a permanent and personal decision, so it's important to feel heard and confident in your artist. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. I would strongly recommend that others carefully review his work and ensure clear communication before committing. Also, he admitted to me that he has been drunk while doing other clients work in the past and had alcohol at his station in the shop. That begs the question if he was drunk while doing mine.
