Body piercings are a diverse and ancient practice, with origins dating back thousands of years in…read morevarious cultures. Ear piercings are among the oldest, with evidence found on mummified remains. While they are often seen as a form of self-expression, they have also served various purposes throughout history, including ritualistic, cultural, and even symbolic roles. I came here on May 17th to get a hidden helix piercing to match my lil sis on the OCA team, Wendi K. (Go add her! She's Seattle's sweetheart). That and I've been seeing them on Instagram and they look cool. Megan was my piercer and everything went well. I chose a fun dangly 14k gold piece for my piercing as I know from a previous cartilage piercing that I need a more hypoallergenic metal. And while my ear anatomy doesn't quite make the piercing fully hidden, I'm happy with it. I'm glad to have had the consultation with Megan prior so I knew what I was getting myself into. Do yourself a favor and get pierced by Megan (walk-ins are allowed for piercings). Buy some saline solution here, tip generously, and walk away being a more decorated and shiny version of yourself.

I chose Ink Bomb Tattoos for my first tattoo after researching several highly rated shops and being…read moreimpressed by their portfolio -- but my experience was the complete opposite of what I expected. I paid a $60 booking fee a week in advance, and was told it covered the artist's drawing time and the appointment slot. Yet when I arrived early for my 3:00 PM appointment, nothing was prepared. After about 20 minutes, the artist showed me a design that wasn't even close to what I had provided, so he had to start over while I waited even longer. After an hour of waiting -- including watching the artist step outside for a smoke break -- I left without getting tattooed. I then learned the booking fee was nonrefundable, despite the fact that the delay and lack of preparation were entirely on their end. If the fee is supposed to cover the design work, the design should be ready before the client arrives -- not started after check-in. What should have been an exciting first tattoo experience was instead frustrating and disappointing. I reached out to the owner, hoping for understanding. Instead, I received no apology, no responsibility -- just the implication that I was being unreasonable for expecting my time to be respected. Extremely disappointed. I won't be returning, and I hope others know what they're signing up for before booking here.

I requested a tattoo of Jack and Sally's faces and Alec came back with this gorgeous tattoo. I can't personally speak for everyone but Alec here does great work. He kept everything calm and relaxing, did great work, and kept up nice conversation while he worked. I would recommend anyone stop here for their next tattoo, especially if they can get in with Alec. I wouldn't be surprised that if my next visit to Phoenix includes a stop here

I told him I was only interested in learning about it and he said I have no right to know. Like this is a thousand year old human tradition? Not your monopoly. Have heard some other horror stories from smaller independent artists that this group is trying to make tattooing more exclusive. Maybe right, but not their place to decide who or why.

When I went to see the review for this place, they're all positive except a one star from a bot account. And the tattoo came out phenomenal, I love it.

My update isn't adding much other than I still highly recommend this shop. James Withee the owner, is very good at what he does. If you're lucky enough to book with him, I certainly say from getting tattooed by him that James will do the absolute best he can to give you a tattoo you can be happy with. Even if you have a hard time sitting still like I did. Here is a healed shot of the tattoo James did on me back in May. All I can say is "Thank you".

If I could give negative stars, I would give them a million negative stars! As you know, there are many tattoo shops around. We stopped by this one. What a HUGE mistake!!! As soon as we walked in, we got the worst customer service EVER! My friend is a war veteran and has a PTSD service dog with him. He walked into the shop with his dog that has the PTSD service vest on. The guy looked us up and down and did not even greet us. He then looked at the dog and said with major attitude...and I quote..."You can't have a dog in here. I don't care if it is a service dog." Just like that! This is a business! Where is the customer service?!? I truly believe "it's not what you say, but it's how you say it!" He could have had 4 paying customers. After that HORRIBLE experience, we will NEVER, EVER, EVER walk in there again! I recommend that you don't either!

You can immediately tell they care about their craft and their clients. Vania was so kind and warm -- she made me feel comfortable right away, which meant a lot because I was honestly a little overwhelmed (in the best way). The energy in the studio is just amazing. The amazing Manuel Flores did my two tragus piercings with the utmost care and precision. He explained everything clearly, made sure the placement was perfect, and was so gentle and professional throughout the entire process. Chancla did my tattoo and gave the BEST advice and recommendations on placement. I trusted their guidance completely, and I'm so glad I did -- it came out even better than I imagined. This was truly the best experience I've ever had getting tattoos and piercings. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
