I'm also a bodybuilder, which makes getting tattoos more complicated as they have to compliment my muscle structure for when I'm on stage. Bryan understands this and has worked really hard to place my tattoos in a way that will work with my muscles. The tattoo shop is also very nice and clean. I'd highly recommend going to see Bryan for your next tattoo!

We stopped at one place on a Saturday and the guy said the soonest he could get me in was Thursday. I was leaving that Monday. We decided to stop here and the lady told us it could be 1.5 to 2 hour wait. Perfectly fine with us. We ended up getting Jonathan to do our tattoos. Unknowingly to us he is the owner. Best experience ever!!! He was very professional and precise with what we wanted. He even sang while he was tattooing us and it made the pain less. I highly recommend him and am thinking about what yo get the next time I travel home.

It was the most unbelievable pain compared to my previous piercings, like the needle was dull. Also heard a different employee tell a customer that the piercer was out sick today. And I paid $150 for this, which is the advertised price, but insane for how badly these turned out, it also took an hour for all of them.

After searching google and yelp reviews for shops that did ear piercings we settled on this shop…read moreand overall the experience was fantastic. We were able to get an appointment quickly with a piercer who has been in the business for 17 years, which is great to have someone with all that knowledge. It took about 20 minutes to get through the paperwork and have the earrings sanitized and when my daughter sat down she spent additional time walking her through all of the steps and expectations - we were never rushed and all questions were respectfully answered. When my daughter got nervous she stopped and calmly walked her through it and waited until she was fully ready again. The piercing sites were marked where my daughter was able to see before hand and adjust as desired, everything was cleaned and then after the piercing she applied a cold saline cloth which my daughter loved. It has been two weeks and so far the piercings haven't caused any pain - we followed the advice to not turn and clean with saline spray only as needed, which is the exact opposite advice I received decades ago and it has worked fantastically. Also, the earring she got had flat backs so they don't poke into her head, which has also provided better comfort then the shopping mall piercing I received as a child. Additionally, we go back after 8 weeks for them to update her earring size, which provides a smaller rod through her ear since the current earring is longer to account for swelling - this is a great option which I wasn't expecting, there is a lot of thought that goes through this entire process! I highly recommend this for a first piercing for your child. It is far more expensive than a mall piercing but such a better experience that it is definitely worth it!

I had a terrible experience at this tattoo shop, and I regret ever setting foot in there. First of…read moreall, the artist who worked on my tattoo has left the company due to "ethical issues." I found out about this only after receiving a subpar tattoo that I am now stuck with. The tattoo itself is a complete disaster. The lines are uneven, the colors are all wrong, and it looks nothing like what I had in mind. It's evident that the so-called "artist" lacked the skill and expertise needed to create a quality tattoo. I'm not sure if Nate was the only one with such issues or if it's indicative of the overall lack of talent at this shop. Furthermore, the customer service is appalling. When I reached out to the shop to express my dissatisfaction and request a refund, they coldly informed me that they don't issue refunds as part of their policy. It's absurd that they won't take responsibility for their own artist's incompetence and instead put the burden on the customer. It's clear that this shop prioritizes profits over customer satisfaction and quality work. I strongly advise anyone considering getting a tattoo here to think twice and find a more reputable and skilled establishment. Save yourself the time, money, and disappointment that I had to endure. Overall, I would give this place zero stars if I could. I will never return, and I hope others heed this warning and avoid this place at all costs. Photo reference: What I wanted, tattoo like the completed color tattoo with peonies instead of sunflowers. What I got is a tattoo that looks 10 years old, scaring, scratching an asymmetrical butterfly missing an antenna and an overall mess. I was going to go back for a second session to get the coloring done, but no way. Had to go to another tattoo shop and they think I need some laser sessions before I can get this fixed. They were appalled with the quality of work.
