Once you "schedule" your appointment, they will send another email with a link for a deposit that must be made within 24 hours to hold and secure your appointment date and time. This is a $50 deposit towards your final total. We arrived at the Parlour and were advised that there is only street parking, so be prepared. Our appointment was with James for a second earlobe piercing for my daughter. Please pay attention to their website as they require a birth certificate if your child and the consenting parents ID, too. My daughter and I both signed consent forms and then he took us upstairs to look at jewelry. They have a wide and beautiful selection. He was very patient and informative with my daughter for her to choose what she wanted. She chose beautiful champagne colored studs He then advised us that he needs to sanitize and prep his station and the jewelry so it would be about 10 minutes. My daughter and I went back downstairs and waited a bit. After he was finished, he took us to his room and explained the process in detail to my daughter all along the way. He marked my daughter's ears and then measured her ear lobes and showed her where the earrings would be placed. Everything was sterilized and each needle is only used once and then disposed of properly. My daughter did have anxiety but didn't really show it, especially after the first ear lobe was done. James advised her how to breathe each time he would pierce her ear and she followed his directions. Again, he was very patient and professional. He gave her after care instructions and a cleanser. Since we are only visiting from Vegas, he told us to send an email about any follow ups regarding the posts in her ears if we wanted them shorter after they healed. He said he would reach out to his contacts in Vegas to help with this when the time comes. We were both very happy with the experience and my daughter was ecstatic with her new piercing. She had a previous gun piercing (my bad, I know now), so this was a much better experience. I highly recommend the Parlour.

We had such a wonderful experience getting my daughter's ears pierced here. The studio requires…read moreappointments and keeps the doors locked, which actually made the whole experience feel very special and intentional rather than rushed or chaotic like some retail environments can be. It really felt like this was an occasion just for her. My daughter was pretty nervous going in, but James was absolutely fantastic with her. He was calm, patient, and took the time to talk her through everything, which really helped soothe her nerves. By the time it was done, she felt proud and excited rather than scared. The entire service was phenomenal from start to finish. James was professional, kind, and clearly cared about making it a positive experience. The Parlour itself is also really cool; clean, welcoming, and full of personality. I honestly wish every retail or service experience I had was handled with this level of care and thoughtfulness. It made a moment my daughter was nervous about turn into a really special memory for both of us.

He was meticulous, and had a plan in mind...and get this, actually carried it out perfectly! I truly believe (100% confident) that I can give him ANY picture, and he will give you what you want (the first time around). I will never go to anyone else from now on out. He has gained a life-long customer, and I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone who knows what they are doing!

WORLD CLASS TATTOO PARLOR…read more I was proud of myself, naturally, for finding the most perfect tattoo parlor to tell you about, Hand of Doom on Elmwood Ave. Ok, well my buddy actually was the one that discovered HOD, but I researched the exact artist that I wanted to work with at the parlor, Jon Mirro. Ok, well, another buddy, completely unrelated to the first buddy figured out that Jon was the man and recommended him, but I was the one who came up with the perfect idea of the tattoo I wanted Jon to do. Alright, alright... Jon had all the good ideas for the tattoo and I just rolled with it, but I was the one who paid Jon for these great ideas with my own hard-earned money. Ok, fine... I paid for the tattoo with money I received from my roommate, rounded out with some found buried treasure that I had acquired. Fine... (sigh) the money from my roommate I spoke of was actually my mom, whose been giving me a stipend while I've been living in her basement, and the buried treasure was change I stole from a wishing fountain. I knew of multiple people that were satisfied customers after working with Jon. Legend has told the tales of his razor thin line work and eye-popping negative spacing, but it wasn't until I researched his illustrative, contemporary Japanese artwork style on his Instagram (https://instagram.com/jonmirro?igshid=14p541kz3zney), coupled with noting his passion for creating real tattoo "art", and not just appeasing whatever ridiculous and dumb ideas that I had which would have ruined everything, that I knew Jon was the man for the job. Enough talking. If you spent all this time reading my ink rant, then perhaps you're either (1) lonely, living in your mom's basement with a pocket full of fountain pennies, or (2) you're ready for some time in the chair yourself. Good news! HOD has four other artists all under the same room and all taking appointments. Feel free and drop by and check out their portfolios, or do so here at handofdoomtattoos.com.

As soon as I heard about it, I started following their socials, which led me to the artists' individual Instagram pages. I scheduled with Brynn at Grey Havens because I had been following her on Instagram for a while, I loved her style, and her eye for details in nature. After we talked about what I wanted, I would need 2 appointments with her, at least 2 weeks apart, so I had to set a reminder to schedule each one a year in advance. I didn't mind the wait. Anytime my family asked what I wanted for Christmas, birthday, etc. I did tell them Gift Cards for Grey Havens, which softened the cost. It was definitely worth the wait. I'm in love with my tattoo. I spent lots of time chatting with staff at the shop during my visits, everyone is friendly. You can tell that this is a very positive environment, where all of the artists support each other.
