Do the forms, pick your jewelry, pay, get pierced. Mike Moore was absolutely amazing with everything... he put my daughter at ease, talked her through every single step (I was allowed in the room with her during the piercing) and in general made this an exciting, memorable event. HIGHLY recommend and am thankful - Mike's empathy and compassion was clear and appreciated. Aftercare instructions were very clear and repeated several times, till he was sure she understood. I can't give 6 stars so 5 will have to do!

My sister treated me to a an early Christmas gift to get my helix pierced and this popped right up…read morewith great reviews. The piercing was booked with Ben on a Friday after the holiday at 3:30 when the place was jam packed with walk-ins. Somehow Ben and Al, who greeted us and helped us prior to our appt, were able to manage all of us and communicate along the way. They were awesome and their teamwork and service was top tier. They also both hyped me up about my stud and totally unprompted. My only regret is not booking another appt simultaneously when it was open LOL! Ben is by far the best piercer I've ever had. He also saved my sister fees by piercing her ear with a dull needle so she only had to pay for the jewelry. Overall I would recommend them to anyone! Worth the price and the wait. Looking forward to another appt when I'm in town again! Also very sterile vibes and Ben took time between appts to sterilize and change gloves even though I was with my sister.

I cannot say enough great things about Big Top Tattoo!! This is my fourth but first at Big Top,…read moreI'll never go anywhere else but here again. This tattoo was in memory of my mom-in-law who passed away two years ago, so it was very special to me. My niece had designed it and I brought in a print out. Davey James took her design and created a masterpiece on my arm. The detail is incredible and it's better than I expected! I LOVE it!! My niece went with me and had the same tattoo done, it was her first. Again Davey did an amazing job and was so great with her, leaving her with a great experience for her first tattoo. If you are looking for a great environment, this is the place. If you are looking for a tattoo artist with artistic talent, this is the place. If you are looking for a shop with great personality, this is the place. Thank you Big Top and especially Davey James!!

Unless you want to talked down to like you are a child of single digits, then this is your place…read more Walked in on my birthday to get a wrist tattoo of a palm tree with three other friends. The guy in the center tattooing was condescending and rude. At one point he told us to be quiet as we talking amongst ourselves . WTF, am I in a library? Decided upon not to get the tattoo. RULE 1: if a place makes you uncomfortable, do not do it. Glad I stuck to my decision as my other two friends got theirs which was larger than they wanted and not the design they wanted as they were told "that has too much detail (on a palm tree..really?!) but we can do an outline of a palm tree". ummm, noooo. $60 dollars later for a permanent tattoo that they did not envisioned that was larger than the design they brought in. Worst. Place. Ever. If I could get this place in -5 I would.

Wow is all I can or could ever say. This place is unbelievable with, alone, the exceptional level…read moreof customer service from literally every employee that works there. Long story short about me: I love the idea of tattoos and always have, I want many, and I have a very low tolerance for pain. So it's like wanting something that will always hurt you but ends up being beautiful and good in the end. Back to No Name and, to a greater extent, Roxy the tattoo artist there. Flawless? Amazing? Intelligent? Understanding? Calming? Funny? Clever? Inspirational? A GREAT TATTOO ARTIST??? I mean yea true but all of these don't even get me started on how this awesome woman, who always has a fun color or style to her hair (yesterday it was a nice pink!), has made getting tattoos for me... something I could handle. Especially after having a HORRIBLE tattoo artist ruin my arm and first tattoo for me for almost 1.5 years. I went to Hawaii (thanks Dad!) in April 2019 and got a small sea turtle on my right wrist as my first tattoo. I added to it May 2019 at Marked Marvels (no..... comment........) and that was a complete disaster. I got 2 more turtles and they weren't anything like I wanted. I ended up never going back there and hated my arm for 1.5 years. August 2020. Missed one appointment and was late I'm sure to another. But Roxy got me in and added my 4th turtle and added waves and then redesigned the previous 3 turtles to match. It became a stunning and elegant tattoo and I could finally look at my arm again and not cringe or be sad!! This was good customer service! She listen to the issues I had with the previous tattoo guy in the past. She understood my low pain tolerance and did all she could to make it as easy as can be. She's funny and lighthearted and it feels like more then some hair stylist who wants to know drama. She wants to know how one of her clients are doing. She's also wildly and insanely interesting and I love that she and I both enjoy a good and long vacation/trip away to other places! She is endlessly dynamic. But so is the place she works for/at and everyone who works there too. I've been there maybe 5-6 times in total for my 2 tattoo sessions and then a few other visits for consults and for upcoming stuff. This place is great. I never used the bathroom there till yesterday (3/03/2021) and... um.... SPOTLESS???? It actually smelled good...? Like a bathroom at someone's private home!!! Also HILARIOUS???? The wall art and home decor is wild. The way they present themselves. The knowledge they all know. The kindness and calmness. The attention to detail and an idea that ANYONE and EVERYONE they work with deserves a good service. Roxy is flawless. No Name Tattoo is a cute and small shop in the middle of downtown Utica and it fits right in. I love each and every session with her. Even the worst session I could ever experience with her wouldn't even ever compare to the issues I had at MM. That's information for a more negative review on their artist and place though. But for Roxy & No Name, the bar is set so high you'd think it reached a new galaxy. Imagine you're a tattoo artist and you've only done 2 sessions on/for someone but they tell you they want you to do their tattoos for the rest of your career or their life, whatever comes first. That's me with Roxy and I'm not joking at all. I told her that. The look in her eyes made my heart soar cause I truly found someone whose given me some of THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. Better then doctors or other tattoo shops or food places. Better then them all. I truly can't wait to visit in 3 weeks for my newest tattoo's follow up. And to be there in June for a friend tattoo with my online BFF from Minnesota. #3 with Roxy on a list that just keeps on growing cause I know I have a tattoo artist who cares. In this day and age, someone who truly cares but doesn't charge "an arm and a leg" for that care is unbelievable and undeniable!!! GO TO NO NAME TATTOO AND GO SEE ROXY!!!!!

I really hate leaving bad reviews, but after my experience I feel like I need to warn other people,…read moreespecially anyone coming here for a piercing. I got my conch pierced here and it ended up becoming embedded in my ear. When I came back because I was worried about it, they tried to push the jewelry back through my swollen ear to get it out. They were extremely aggressive with it, and it was honestly one of the most painful experiences I've had. My ear was bleeding and extremely swollen afterward, and they still weren't able to get it out. I ended up having to go to urgent care right after. Even the doctor who treated me commented on how much trauma had been done to my ear from them trying to force the piercing out. I was already scared about what was happening, and the way it was handled at the shop made the situation so much worse. What really threw me off was that afterward they called and offered me a free piercing. After everything that happened, getting another piercing there is the last thing I would want.I understand that complications can happen with any piercing, and I'm not leaving this review just because mine had a problem. I'm leaving it because of how the problem was handled once I came back for help. I wish they would have recognized when it was beyond what they could safely handle instead of continuing to force it and causing even more trauma to my ear. Unfortunately, I would not come back here for another piercing after this experience.
