If you want high quality piercings from someone that is knowledgeable and pays attention to detail this is the spot to go to. I came in to get my earlobe re-pierced since the previous person that did it pierced my right earlobe all crooked. They did it with a piercing gun which is already a red flag for me. It was more embarrassing for me because I got fat earlobes also known as Buddha ears so it didn't sit right with me. Anyways I called up this spot and they directed me to their master piercer "G". This dude is super knowledgeable and actually took the time to measure my ears to make sure they were gonna be pierced correctly and within alignment. Then he explained the process and even recommended a longer earring due to my earlobes being fat, to give it room to swell without being smothered. Then he used a real piercing needle and pierced my ear effortlessly. After that he gave me detailed instructions on care and to even come back within a couple weeks to do a checkup to see if everything is aligned correctly. This is the guy to go to if you ever want to get any piercing. I highly recommend him and will be definitely going back and telling all my friends about the go to spot to get piercings. 10/10!! read more

This piece deserves its own review. Came back for my second leg piece and booked it once again with Carlos. Had a consultation with Carlos a week before about my second piece and I showed him my pinterest inspo piece and he totally gave me his insight and after the first piece, I know better to take his advice and he booked me for the following week (Today 9/20) because he wanted to customize the inspo piece I showed him which I thought was very awesome of him. Tattoo day comes around and when I arrived at the shop, he showed me the piece he worked on and I completely FELL IN LOVE with the piece. I do have to admit though getting this piece tatted on to my lower leg was a bit painful BUT even through all that, Carlos made this session a breeze and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. The owner of the shop Rovie and Hazel were there aswell and it was all great evening from there, they were so friendly, nice, and supportive of each other's work. Carlos totally did great with this piece and really hooked it up. He's totally doing my whole leg sleeve Lastly, I get that people might have different experiences here and I can't totally speak for that BUT in my opinion with the Quality of Work that each artist do here, I don't see how they're getting a One to Two Star reviews, that's quite harsh. I have nothing but a great experience here (by looking at the pictures attached) and definitely will be booking for my next piece read more

Just visited this shop yesterday, Gerald did my double helix piercings and my conch piercing. Piercing prices are affordable. He really cares about his craft and clients and you can tell he's passionate about what he does. Making sure each piercing was precise. I wanted a naval piercing but he viewed my anatomy and suggested I don't get it being stern and suggesting the best for me. You can tell he's not in it just for the money and just for the love of the job. Loved the playlist he played too, vibes were there. 100% recommend to anyone. Definitely coming back for a nose piercing eventually. Thank you!!! read more

Check out Gerard for all your piercing needs! He pierced my Daith and Snug and has treated them like his own children for nearly a year. He will always give you the best advice with healing and aftercare and always providing free advice. Even outside of his work hours I'm comfortable sending a photo to ask for advice if im worried about a piercing and he always responds or tells me to come in. Always has a positive attitude and you can tell he actually cares about his craft and not trying to steer you in a wrong or expensive way. Always gives good vibes and he makes the whole experience fun and personable. I haven't met anyone else I've trusted more than Gerard to hook me up and actually care how it turns out. Also considers my style and aesthetic and willing to work with me to get the styles I like for jewelry. Smaller shop but the the quality of it piercing and customer service is immaculate.

I have been speaking to Skull on insta for a tattoo piece and by chance, I was able to get a tattoo with her today. First of all, I love EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE! Super friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and they truly care about their clients. Everyone who was getting tatted literally was talking so casually with their tattoo artist like they've been friends for YEARS! The actual shop was dope too. I've never been to a tattoo shop where I went "I want to come back here again." Skull, you're going to to such great things and creating your art :) Anxious, thanks for guiding us! Miss Anthropic, I'm so happy we get to geek out over Avatar (if you have a future flash, lmk cause ya girl is interested ) Skull, everything about my Appa and Aang tattoo is literally perfect thank you so much for my most epic tattoo yet! read more

Had a perfect experience at ink mindset! Decided to get my first tattoo in 30 years...did research, read reviews and decided to drop in at ink mindset. Was a bit nervous as I was planning to get a tattoo to mark my recent heart surgery and would be getting it near my surgery site and scar. Got a quick consult and set up an appointment less than two weeks later with hazel. Before the appointment we communicated easily to flesh out the design and prepare for the tattooing. The shop is clean, well decorated with a good vibe. Hazel did an amazing job exceeding all my expectations. The tattoo looks great, she had a great eye and steady hand. I'm already thinking about my next few tattoos and I'm 100% going back to see hazel at mindset. read more

Don't let the outside fool you - this place has incredibly talented artists! I spent months trying to find an artist who is talented in penmanship/fine lines, and stumbled upon Carlos (anxios_tattoos on Instagram). I texted the shop with a photo of what I wanted and they were able to give me an estimate and appointment the next day. Carlos was extremely professional and had a very calm energy, which we appreciated! My husband got the same tattoo. I am so impressed with his talent and would easily recommend him to any of my friends/family looking to get fine line or script tattoos. read more

Came in for my first tattoo and Carlos (anxios_tattoos on Instagram) made the experience very comfortable. He was very kind and professional and presented me with many options and thoroughly explained the different results each would have and which would suit me best. The pain level was also not what I expected which was my biggest fear, it felt slightly uncomfortable at times but not painful at all. I'm very glad I was able to get an appointment in before I leave, will definitely be coming back during my next visit to San Diego. Highly recommend Carlos, thank you for a great experience. read more

Called ahead of time to make sure they were taking walk ins and that they were able to fit me in. She said yes and that they had jewelry available for a nose ring switch out. She took my nose ring out, and then finds out they don't have the right size for me. So she has to put my nose ring back in. It is the more painful then when I got it pierced. It took her about 10 mins and I am bleeding everywhere. This is a 2 year healed nose piercing that I have had no problems with. Do not go here. Horrible!! read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience being tattooed by Crystal! She's such an incredible artist and I've always admired her work, I was really excited to have her as an artist. She worked with me on an original design and punched it up to be better than I could have imagined. I was so impressed by the fine line work and shading, and her suggestion to add white to make it pop. She's also a great person to have a conversation with! Such a great overall experience and I'm looking forward to being tattooed by her again! read more

I've been going to Ink Mindset Studios since 2018 after being referred by a friend. The rest is history. I've gotten all my tattoos here since, and have referred others as well. My portraits and sleeve work has been done by the owner Rovie. He is a beast! I've also had a handful of tattoos completed by his apprentices, which I have been 100% satisfied with. I trust Rovie and anyone he's trained there. They take pride in their shop and work. Rovie provides a free annual touch up which has kept my tattoos right. He cares about tattoo longevity and is intentional with tattoo placements. It's always been a very clean place, with a chill atmosphere, and good music. Everywhere I go people ask about my work. Looking forward to my next session. read more

After doing research on where to go to get my first tattoo ever, I decided to go to Ink M.S. There are many tattoo places that had hundreds of review on Yelp. Some good, some bad. But I decided to go to Ink M.S. due to the QUALITY of reviews they have obtained. Knowing how some tattoo places can make you feel unwelcomed or embarrassed, I was a little nervous in going to get a tattoo, especially since I don't know nothing about the tattoo culture. I did not wanted to ask a dumb question. And I specially did not wanted to look stupid for asking to have a simple tattoo. From the beginning, Oreo made me feel welcomed. I told him what I wanted, he gave me a quote and set me up with an appointment. The next day, he sent me an appointment reminder. Rovie my tattoo artist, was super friendly. He sketched my tattoo on my skin, and I was amazed on how awesome it turned out!! Rovie was conversing with me while I was getting my tattoo. That helped a lot because I was already excited/nervous of getting my first tattoo. He eased my nerves. Oreo made me feel special. Since he knew this was my first time getting a tattoo, he came to check up on me and offered water to me and my daughter. And at the end of my session he handed me my coat. How cool is that?! Both Rovie and Oreo made my first tattoo experience wonderfully amazing, and I am definitely coming back for future tattoos. They also provide info on how to care for my tattoo and provided their recommendations. Will I recommend friend, family, strangers to Ink Mindset Studios? That's a HELLA YEEEEAH!! Thank you Rovie and Oreo for an amazing experience and how attentive you guys were to my wants and needs!! read more

Trust this man with your skin forever. Sold me a 7 hour tattoo, around 7 hours into it his demeanor started to change and I could tell he had no intentions of stopping or rushing through anything. I knew I picked the right artist when he said" you will never love this tattoo as much as I love this tattoo" seemed unimaginable because the art was my wife's face as Medusa. 10 hrs for the same price I felt a 20% tip was the minimum he deserved. Nobody else will touch my skin with ink after the art and care he delivered. I consider Rovie a friend. I flew to San Diego for this because portland oregon has no one like him. Three days later no puss, ink, blood his technique goes way beyond the art he delivers! read more
