I got a tattoo and the tattoo was very good and the person who did it was very nice and good. fast and efficient! but before i left i decided to get my 4th holes done on my ears and when they took me to the back, it smelled HORRIBLE in the piercing room and the lady was so rude and didn't say a single word but was very obviously judging me :( the piercing is good but it's not 100% even and she didn't tell me when she was about to pierce it so it was a surprise when i felt a needle out of no where going through. the only words she spoke to me was "clean it 2x a day". i've never had a piercer like this

My piercing that is misplaced, too far back and low.

I unfortunately didn't have a great experience here. I got my septum pierced and it was misplaced pretty bad. My piercer, Rob, came in late eating an ice cream cone, which I didn't mind at first because it was later at night and I'd be hungry too, but I had to wait about 20 min for him to come back to the shop and no one else was there. He was very funny and nice but I didn't feel that he was very professional. He didn't use sterile gloves, which I found out later when I showed a video of my piercing getting done to another piercer. He also didn't feel around for my sweet spot and completely missed it, going through the thick cartilage which was not only not where a septum is supposed to go but also very painful. I ended up getting it redone at another place because I didn't trust anyone there to redo it. The shop doesn't offer refunds, which really sucks. They also advertise for Callah, an ex-employee, on their website which is very misleading. Her work looked amazing and is what drew me to empire in the first place, but they don't have any pictures on their websites of Rob or their other piercers. Overall I would not recommend Empire Tatooz for a piercing, please do your research and find a better place to avoid wasting your time, money, and pain!

I received a tattoo on Friday the 13th and i've never seen such bad line work. The thickness changes throughout, some don't connect, and they are beyond shaky. The tattoo is not symmetrical and blowout occurred almost immediately. They do not care about who their artists are, they only want body's in the shop. would not recommended

For my first tattoo I came to Empire Tattooz, they completely botched my tattoo. When it was drawn up and stenciled on my body it looked perfect... once it was finished though it was horrible. Misspelled, and very uneven. DO NOT COME HERE. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. 1st picture is the tattoo I got at Empire Tattooz. It is supposed to say "love yourself" in a heart form, it's very sloppy and at the top he forgot the "your". 2nd picture is the stencil that was drawn on my skin. Exactly how I envisioned it, and what was agreed on. 3rd picture is the COVER UP I paid for at Inkaholics in Miami, FL to fix the first disaster that was made by Empire Tattooz.

Got a white ink tat (which they don't typically work with) done here tonight. I was well educated and well cared for by Shawn (Sean?) who has been in the business longer than my life span. He made sure I knew the pros and cons to white ink and a tattoo the size I got it. He made sure he showed me that he was changing out needles and other product. It's definitely a tattoo parlor/ piercing place. You feel that vibe before you even walk in. A hole in the wall for sure, but you'll receive great service. I had a great experience with service both with the actual tattoo and paperwork. The minimum here is $40 which was impressive to me as I've payed $50 for an even smaller tattoo. Empire will definitely hook you up. They know what they're talking about and what they're doing.

Original tattoo

I got a small tattoo at Empire Tattooz. At first, I could tell it was rushed and a bit sloppy, but not too bad considering I paid the minimum price for it. As time went on, the ink started to bleed and totally morphed my tattoo. I am so disappointed in the long term outcome of this tattoo. I am currently undergoing a tattoo removal process that costs $500 (my tattoo cost $60 in addition to a tip). I do not recommend this place to anyone for tattoos. They are unprofessional, sloppy and not detail oriented

Really bad at scheduling and keeping appointments. Bad professionalism. Lazy workers.
