    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.

    Review for Tattoo Artist Neno…read more I'm deeply disappointed with my experience with Neno. I chose him because I admired the work showcased on his page, but what I received was far from what I expected. I went in for a cover-up of an old elephant tattoo on my hand, and asked for a flower design. Unfortunately, the original tattoo was not covered up--it's clearly visible underneath the new flower. It looks like a flower tattooed on top of an elephant, which is not what a cover-up is supposed to be. To make things worse, my skin was overworked during the session. As someone with melanin-rich skin and experience with tattoos (this is my 17th), it's obvious he didn't know how to work with darker skin tones. The end result is harsh, uneven, and just looks bad. He even messaged me right after to say he wanted to touch it up to make it "look more realistic," which now feels like he already knew it didn't look right. I've tried reaching out with questions during the healing process, and he's only responded once. It feels like now that he's been paid, he's avoiding accountability. Honestly, he should have told me upfront if this work was outside his skillset or referred me to someone more experienced with dark skin. Instead, I'm left with a tattoo I hate--and now I have to spend even more money to either fix it or start removal. This was a painful and upsetting experience, and I'm sharing this to help others avoid going through the same

    Sooo I didn't exactly mean to come here, but I was literally walking by and popped in! I've been…read moremeaning to get my double ear piercing re-pierced since it's closed, so this felt like fate :) Lucky for me, walk-ins are indeed welcome! It was a random Thursday afternoon so it wasn't busy. One person ahead of me being helped, so I scanned to QR and filled out my info online while I waited 5-10 minutes. Hannah was super duper nice, gentle, and precise. Turned out my re-pierce was hardly that: she just needed to push a new needle through as it was mostly still open. I decided to also get a third piercing next to it, because why not. All in all it was quick and easy! I'll say however, this place is priceyyyy. I suppose you're getting the experience: beautiful storefront, fun and aesthetic, and piercing by registered nurses. The piercings themselves are a cost and then the jewelry is an additional price. I realize you don't want put cheap products in fresh-pierced holes but still, just too pricey. Also confusing pricing around the needle vs gun option. Most all of my other 10 piercings have been done at tattoo/body-piercing shops at a much, much lower rate and I've never had issues with them. Again, I think you're more so paying for the experience here. Lots of options here in terms of placement for piercings (lobe, upper lobe, helix, tragus, etc). And also lots of fun jewelry options on the wall! You have to get your piercing with a specific type, but if you were just coming in to shop for earrings, this is a good spot.

    I had a decent experience with Rowan. I initially made an appointment to have my ears repierced…read moreafter having not worn earrings for many years. When I arrived, I was the only customer in the store. The salesperson was nice, but she stood over me and kept asking if I knew what I wanted. I didn't like feeling so pressured. It turned out the nurse was able to put earrings in the existing holes so I could purchase earrings from the general retail space rather than the initial posts. The nurse put my earrings in for me and she was very nice. Be forewarned that Rowan is very expensive. My two sets of earrings were $65 total, which was fine. But my total for having a nurse put in new earrings was close to $140. Yikes!
