So apparently people don't Yelp in good ole' Springfield, Ohio…read more... Anyway, I came here to get some piercings (no appointment needed!) and Lizzy was simply amazing. She was knowledgeable, informative and made me feel completely at ease - everything needed to get an A++ from me. I've gotten multiple piercings and tattoos in my lifetime and I will have to say this is the best piercing experience I've ever had! Her aftercare instructions were marvelous as well, and I'm healing up quite nicely. Thanks Lizzy, if i'm ever in Springfield again and have an itch to get tattooed/pierced, i'll make sure to swing by!

I have not been tattooed by this shop yet, but I don't think I have ever had a more positive first…read moreencounter than I did today. I do have 12 tattoos from maybe 7 different artists, so I'm familiar with the process. I wish all shops treated their clients/potential clients the way I was treated. Very, very friendly, open and welcoming! I was not made to feel like I was a nuisance or insane because I had questions. I walked in hoping to speak with the artist Jami Owen and she took great care to listen to what I was looking for, even though she was consulting with a past client. She was very respectful and transparent and made me feel very comfortable. I strongly feel the way an artist talks to you on your first visit is indicative of how the tattoo process will go with them. It's only a matter of time before I book with Jami and this shop . I really liked the vibe of the shop and this artist, most visits lead me to never wanting to return, but this was such a breath of fresh air! Great job to ownership and staff, you doing it right!

He was really worried Colleen didn't know what she was in for as far as how it would hurt. She was determined though. Bruce did a fantastic job on the tattoo. Colleen surprised him & I both with how composed she was during the entire process. In the end, my daughter got the beautiful tattoo she wanted to memorialize her Aunt. I'm so grateful to Bruce for his patience and willingness to give it a shot. His work is fantastic and he's got lots examples to check out on their website. https://www.blackorchidtattoostudios.com/staff/brucelee/#gallery

After leaving a different tattoo shop due to wait time, my sister, boyfriend and I stumbled upon…read morethis beautiful hidden gem. Initial opinion is that the shop was super clean and had a nice modern relaxed feel to it. I've been to lots of tattoo shops and this is one of the nicest ones I've been too. None of us knew what we wanted so we flipped through their book of designs and eventually found some awesome stencils we liked. They do also have a "get what you get" gumball machine for $100 for those who are feeling more adventurous. My sister went first and was a bit nervous but Bruce Lee (yes that's his name) made her feel super comfortable. He does amazing line work and she was in and out of there super quick. After her, he called me in and I am so grateful to have been placed with him. Bruce is not only an amazing artist, he is a gentle/kind human and such an amazing soul. He had us laughing the entire time we were there and we had some amazing conversations. I 100% recommend this shop, especially if you're getting your first tattoo because they will make you feel super comfortable. Bruce, please continue to spread your amazing vibes and energy to the world and please please please start DJ-ing Brunch because that's gonna be the first thing I look for the next time I'm in Tennessee!!!
