I have never been inside a real tattoo parlor before. I was blown away with how many types of tiger books there were. I happen to know someone who got their tattoo at this place. I fell in love with their tattoo ideas. So, I decided to come in to make an appointment for this tattoo that I wanted. I had the idea of a Koi fish and a dragon with the water in the background. But, this is what I ended up getting. But this isn't the finished look. The style of tattoo is very clean and I love everything about it.

I visited Smokin' Aces last year to get a very special memorial tattoo as a 50th birthday gift to…read moremyself. I chose Melanie based on recommendations from friends and the work for them that I saw with my very own eyes, as opposed to merely looking at potentially doctored photos on social media. Smokin' Aces & Melanie turned out to be the perfect combination for me! Since this was going to be a permanent memorial in a prominent place, I was being VERY picky--and emotional! Melanie was very understanding and supportive and patient with me. She also gave several recommendations with respect to the natural aging of the tattoo, which I hadn't considered. I am a registered nurse, so I am incredibly critical of cleanliness and aseptic technique. Melanie impressed me with both. I looked around the shop as she worked and I noticed it wasn't just her...the entire place was immaculate. I loved the outcome of my tattoo and a year later, it is still as beautiful with no feathering or bleeding or fading of the ink. My experience with Melanie and Smokin' Aces could not have been better, and I'm already planning for them to do my next tattoo--onceI figure out what I want! On a separate note...I absolutely love that Smokin Aces employs not just Melanie, but several female tattoo artists, all of whom are exceptionally talented! I spoke with two other female artists that day while they worked and saw for myself the quality of their artistry as it was in progress. This profession is not an easy one for women to thrive in or for women to get respect--and the women at Smokin' Aces more than deserve it!

Today was my sister's 18th birthday. She decided to get a side labret and an eyebrow piercing…read more Tiffany said she was going to do the lip piercing first, so my sister sat back and Tiffany sanitized everything. She went ahead and pierced her lip, then tried to put the jewelry in, but it didn't go in. The barbell was stuck halfway in her lip. My sister took the needle like a champ, but then Tiffany started trying to push the barbell through with her fingers. It still wouldn't go through, so she decided to take the barbell out and try pushing it through from the inside of her lip. My sister started to sweat and was visibly very uncomfortable. After Tiffany still couldn't get it in, my sister had blood all over her mouth and it was dripping down her chin. Tiffany decided to grab a taper and try to shove that through. I have 20 piercings, and watching this happen made me start to feel dizzy. My sister started to look pale and her hands started to shake. I was the one to ask if she was okay. She said she was dizzy, so I said we should lay her back. Tiffany ignored me multiple times when I said she needed to be laid back, and she was still trying to push the taper through. Finally, she decided she should stop "messing with it." Then my sister started to sweat even more and say how hot she felt. Her eyes started to roll back and she passed out. She was out for about 10 seconds while I had to hold her head and Tiffany held her shoulders so she wouldn't fall out of the chair. All of that could've been avoided if she had been laid back like I had said multiple times. After she woke back up, Tiffany decided she would just re-pierce in the same spot. I said maybe we should do the other side of her lip instead. Instead of asking my sister if that's what she wanted to do, Tiffany just said "no." Nothing about this felt professional. It was honestly traumatic for me and my sister. Then Tiffany basically insisted it could be because of her hormones or because she "ate too much," not because she had been repeatedly stabbed by a barbell and a taper. She was nice for the most part, but this was so unbelievably unprofessional. I have been coming to No Regrets for years and had never experienced anything like this. It's not like my sister doesn't have many piercings--she can handle needles. She has both sides of her nose done and a stretched septum, along with a bunch of ear piercings. Not once has she ever passed out from being pierced. She still paid in full even after all of that. My sister and I will not be returning. Tiffany needs better training or needs to be fired! This was so unbelievably disappointing to witness.
