My sister decided she wanted her belly button pierced for her sixteenth birthday. We looked at…read moreatomic considering they had good reviews about their tattoos. When we went, not only did he pierce it in the wrong place and didnt check her anatomy, he also pierced it to deep. After two months it started rejecting and she had to get a different piercer to remove it.

I went to Atomic for my first four tattoos. My first three were done by Nate and my experience with…read morehim was AWFUL! I was SUPER nervous and scared for my first tattoo because I hate needles and have a low pain tolerance. Nate was rude and seemed to be extremely annoyed by me the entire time. I wanted the saying "Everything happens for a reason" across the side of my right foot. He argued that that spot would fade and that it should go across the top of my foot. Since he is the professional, I said okay. In the end, I did like the placing of the tattoo and am glad he mentioned a different placement. However, it wasn't a good experience because he was rude the whole time. For my second tattoo, I wanted "Life Goes On" on my right rib cage. I didn't know where else to go so I went back to Nate. Again, he was super rude and was even rude to my sister who went with me. He asked me when I was going to get a "real" tattoo. I'm not sure what constitutes a "real" tattoo? The size? The number of words? Does it have to be hand drawn or custom? I'm not sure. Again, he was rude the entire time. For my third tattoo, I wanted "One step at a time" on my left foot with two small foot prints. I went to Atomic and ended up with Nate again. He used the words and lettering that I provided, but drew the feet. I thought the feet were too big compared to the size of the words and was not a fan of the placement. I asked him to make them smaller and change the placement. He told me no and said that would look "stupid." Since he was the professional and was right the first time, I went with it. Of course he was rude the entire time, what's new? When I got home, I went to post it in Facebook. When I added the foot print emoji, I realized that he tattooed the feet BACKWARDS (like you were walking with your legs crossed). Then for my Fourth tattoo, I wanted "Never look back" on my left shoulder and a tongue piercing, still not knowing where else to go, I went back to Atomic. This time I ended up with Shaun, thank god. He was super nice, professional and down to earth. He talked to me the whole time and really put my mind at ease. For tattoos 5-10, I went to Hot Rod and ended up being tattooed by Randy Oiler. He tattooed four of those five. He was super professional, down to earth and talkative. For the first time, I wasn't anxious before getting a tattoo. He recently opened his own shop in Moundsville, WV called 1601 Custom Tattooing. I followed him there to get my 11th tattoo and will be a client for life.

Now the earring is reabsorbing due to being pierced with too short of a stem. This could have been avoided if it was done upon initial request.

Let me begin by saying if you want a tattoo THIS is the place to get it. The skill level,…read moreexperience and quality are second to nothing. I did my research and after consulting several artists Dooner here at Up in Arms was my final answer! Let me just say that being my first tattoo I was cautious in finding a good artist in a clean, comfortable location. I could go on and on but who likes to read a long review so let me just say, the staff and Dooner are professional and friendly and are there for YOU. The entire experience from scheduling to the preparation to the actual appointment including aftercare was seamless and simple. Yes you must get an appointment months in advance, but you can possibly get a walk in as well. I booked mine three months out but I also had a 5 hour piece of art. Dooner was exceptional and handled my anxiety like a champ. I felt comfortable the entire time other than the first tattoo jitters I'm sure most go through. The parlor was clean and comfortable with a great music selection playing. Conversation was easy and the entire experience, AWESOME! I highly recommend Dooner or his colleagues for your next art piece. You will be stoked as I've already had many people compliment me on mine. I am already considering a second piece, and I know where I'll be going

I love Crayons Tattoo and all of the friendly workers! Even the studio lobby is awesome!…read more I went in 4 years ago and informed Devin what I had in mind for my tatt (my astrology symbol in turquoise behind black with high pointed stars around it). The next day when I went in & to my surprise he drew up (as a suggestion) purple as a background color instead of black. Devin said that just turquoise & black might be a little bland &/or dark, and he thought purple and turquoise would look perfect! It was even more beautiful than I imagined and I knew that was MY tattoo! Isn't that what you want in a tattoo artist? Someone that you explain what you want.. then when it's drawn up it looks even better than you pictured! It turned out beautiful when completed! I live 45 minutes away now but I'm 100% sure that while living in PA my tatts will be done here. I've also seen the great work they've done on my friends. Thanks again to Devin for my beautiful tattoo! UPDATE: I recently heard that Devin has went to work at another shop. However, I've heard nothing but great things about all of tattoo artist at Crayons.

Mike does phenomenal work, and I definitely recommend him to everyone who asks about my tattoos. The shop is spotless, and all of the artists are talented. I have gotten four tattoos here now with a total of nine sessions, and couldn't be happier with the outcomes. The only downside I can possibly think of is that Mike is good enough that he is often booked for several months in advance, but it is always worth the wait. This shop is one of the most reasonably priced I have ever been to. Also, a nice quality about this shop is that you can pay with a credit/debit card, but if you pay in cash, you get a slight discount.
