James…read morewas incredibly nice and knowledgeable - he took the time to explain the process, aftercare instructions, and answered all my questions. He also helped me pick out two perfect pairs of threadless flat back earrings that look absolutely amazing. You can tell he really knows what he's doing and cares about his clients' comfort and safety. The prices were very reasonable too, which was a pleasant surprise given the quality of service and jewelry selection. The studio was clean and professional, and I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process. My piercings look great and I'm already excited about how they're going to heal. Highly recommend Not Just Ink Tattoos And Body Piercing to anyone looking for quality piercings or tattoos. Ask for James - great staff, fair prices, excellent jewelry selection, and outstanding results!

Be prepared when you want something done, these are artists so most of them have appointments be sure to schedule a session ahead of time. My artist is Big Mike, such a cool dude. He always has good music on during the session and he is super focused on his art.
