They accepted us as a walk in Sunday night around 7pm ish. About a 30 min wait and we got our…read moredesigns quickly printed off and paperwork signed. Quoted for mine as it was like a 1.5 inch design at $150 but shop has a min of $100 so I wasn't super shocked. What we were somewhat shocked at was my girlfriend's design maybe about 3 inch grape hyacinth design that was fairly simple but at $200. It would be one thing if it was heavy in design but she was done in 15 minutes. We still went through with it but a little more than we were expecting. Mine was brought down to $125 as it only took maybe 10 mins to do mine. Both prices not including tip. Very nice and chatty workers and they had a handful of people come through while we were waiting for each other. I liked the design of the shop and all their flashes on the walls. As a California resident it's interesting to see the different standards on tattoo preparation and sanitation compared to back home. Happy with my design!

The service from the location itself was fine, but I reached out to the artist on mangoly? I…read morehaven't heard back in a couple weeks. I was referred to that site for scheduling from the tattoo parlour itself, so it wasn't like I tried to reach out to the artist on the down low or something. Also, I prefer to see a tattoo parlour in person. I want to be in the space to see the look books and see the vibes (and cleanliness) myself. They were appointment only, so I didn't get to check out the parlour yet. I think some of the artists have some beautiful art, but as a potential client who wasn't given a courtesy email from the artist, it just feels eh. I bought two large pieces from a place in NY from the owner himself, who communicated with me directly quickly and personally over 3-4 months. I just expected something similar to that. Or at least to be more prompt.

He showed me the jewelry selection they had and what could be used for initial piercing/heal time. He was honest about which things would be pricier and did steer me in the direction of just getting their standard horseshoe fit now and once it heals we can find something I really like. It was kinda cool that he didn't try to pressure me into getting something I prob would have regretted later, especially with the economy being what it is. The piercing itself was very fast! Like over in less than 5 minutes from the time we went to the back to walking out the door. He walked me through every thing. And while this is not my first piercing rodeo I did appreciate it. He is also just a very nice guy and seems like he'd be fun to just hang out with in general. Like your older siblings cool friend. Also gave me his number if I had any follow up questions since they tiny gave a phone at the shop, truly is the best piercer. 10 out of 10 would pierce again!
