Friday the 13th tattoos
Christine F.

I've been a customer here for over 4 plus years. This review is solely on the Friday the 13th experience. I am generally very happy with all my experiences here and am very appreciative to the staff for being up beat considering how crazy it was. That being said, it was a mess! I don't think they were prepared for the sheer numbers of people that turned out! They have remodeled the Starship space finally so there is a long hall that leads to the shop. They divided the space so there is another business to the left. I thought they would have added more shop space? There are 5 rooms. One larger room was shared by two artists. One room for piercing The theming is finally complete with a superhero decor. A Batman costume and a case with Dead Pool and other characters. A huge Joker mural is on another wall. Our room had TMNT. They had people (maybe 30 deep lining the long hall leading to the shop. We made appointments for 5 and 5:30pm. We weren't seen until nearly 8! They took an appointment from 6pm before us which I was a bit mad about. The waiting appointment sheets were all laying out on the counter. We got there at 4:30PM. We hadn't eaten since 1 ish. The staff was super cool and gave me a brownie when I was feeling low sugar. I'm glad we got in period but they needed more artists. There was just no where to put them. They were booking the people that made appointments to the next day. We come to normal pre Covid 13th events and this one was crazy. Thanks to Tym and the staff for keeping it together! We are appreciative they did this pending pre Covid lockdown again. The tattoos them selves are bigger than the 2x2 tattoos most places offer. They are more like 4x4 for $50. They included shading. And they offer color $20 which adds to the time. They also didn't limit one per customer which added to time and set up. This hinders the amount of people each artist could turnover.

Tyler has done 2 of my tattoos and so in love with them. the time and detail he puts in to make it look awesome is insane. these are both very meaningful tattoos to me and he exceeded my expectations. everyone here is super nice and the customer service is definitely one of the better places ive been too. 10/10 recommend!

amazing service, did my ashley (lip) perfectly and my sisters nostril beautifully, plus the decoration is so cute!

Paw print tattoo

I went in for a memorial paw print for my deceased dog. Willow and Tyler were amazing!!!! Willow edited the paw print to make it look even better than I could have asked for! Tyler's execution was perfect!!!! You both were so great to work with. Thank you!!!

I came here years ago when it was Starship. They're now owned by new management/owner. Came here during Covid-19. Everyone was wearing a mask and gloves (when appropriate). The owner was there when we came in to get a piercing. We went during the week and they closed at 6pm when I called. We were able to just walk in and get it done. When we first got there the decor looked really cool! They did a DC theme and it was really colorful and all put together! The owner was really nice and they were welcoming. My best friend got her nose pierced and the materials were clean. The business itself was clean as well. They were really nice when it came to her getting her nose pierced. She felt like she was going to pass out and they helped calm her down with a wet cloth on her forehead and grabbed her water. I would only suggest that they explain what they're going to be doing while they're doing it so then you're aware of what's happening. At the end they give you a pamphlet on how to take care of your piercing, and they'll let you come back to change it out or clean it for you until you're used to it. If you're looking to get a piercing done I would definitely try this place out! It's clean, the people are friendly, and they know what they're doing.

I only gave 3 stars because it looks like she pierced me wrong and took it out without telling me. The piercings did not hurt and she was so super sweet! I really wish she would have been up front with me and said she pierced them wrong and that she will pierce them again but she said nothing. I can see the holes where she messed up. Anyway would go there again because the customer service is excellent. This is my ear 5 days out and healing great! Hope to get my helix done in a few more months!

During college some friends and I all went here on a whim to get various piercing. I got my conch and they did a fine job! Relatively limited jewelry, but professional staff and a clean environment.

I just got my first tattoo and the experience was so much better than I could have hoped for…read more After visiting reaching out to several tattoo artists to check out the quality of the artwork as well as the general "vibe" of each parlor I was immediately impressed by the artist's work, the demeanor of the artist and the simple but inviting atmosphere at Old Salt Tattooers. Laurent's work is simply beautiful. He was certain to explore what I was looking for in design, give me his input when I asked for it and ensure that I was happily with the design prior to having it inked. I felt at ease during the process as Laurent was able to chat when I was I wanted to but worked quietly when I needed to have time to leave off on conversation. While his overall manner was what I needed, the quality of the work was what stood out the most. My Asian inspired tattoo ran from my foot to just above my knee and was completed in only two sessions. His work was quick considering the intricacy of the design but exceeded my expectations in its quality. The tattoo was simply beautiful and exactly what I wanted in its design. I will definitely be returning to Old Salt Tattooers for more work and would definitely recommend Old Salt Tattooers to others as well.

The only reason for 4 stars was that our appointment was at 12 and we didn't actually start tattooing until 130. It's all good though because we finished up around the time I had hoped with awesome pieces for life. :) The owner tattoo guy was in the shop too, he was funny and made the shop and even more enjoyable experience.

Jon was very responsive and easy to schedule with. He made our appointment feel important even…read morethough we were just getting small, quick tattoos. Would definitely go back for any future work, the shop is spotless.

I have been a customer of Solid State Tattoo for many years. The owner Jon is my "go to guy" for…read moretattoos. I have nearly a full arm sleeve from him and 1/2 my lower calf. He is super talented and does beautiful traditional style tattoos, color tattoos and black and gray tattoos. He has always exceeded my expectations and taken my tattooed farther than I imagined. Each new one becomes another top favorite. The shop itself is amazing. Yes, it is clean and you feel comfortable and safe being tattooed there. But more than that, Jon has uncovered the gorgeous historical aspects of his shop. The brick walls, gorgeous trim work, floors,and stunning tile ceiling makes his shop a piece of artwork itself. Just stop in and be in awe. There are tons of flashes to see and lots of cool artwork. But the best thing is leaving there with your very own piece of artwork to enjoy forever. Artist Josh is also fantastic and I have see tons of his pieces as well. He is someone you can trust and you'll be happy with his work. Both Josh and Jon take pride in their artwork. It shows. That's why I keep going back. It's pretty awesome to have talent right here in the city and not have to go searching for it.
