Quite busy for a Sunday afternoon--then I remembered that it is almost time for the kids to go back…read moreto school. There were teens getting their piercings on lol but I came for earlobe piercing plus needed jewelry for my helix. I actually love this shop despite being my first time here because it reminded me of my tattoo shop back home in Houston (U pick it, We Stick it). I recently relocated from Houston so this place felt like a little piece of home!! Sarah did my piercing and put my jewelry on. She was nice and patient and maintained her professionalism as she was the only one piercing at the time I was there. It was $40 to my earlobe and $10 for my helix jewelry. Quite affordable to me. I will be back for more piercings I plan on getting!

I visited with Aldo for a Tattoo appointment on June 18 to discuss a robot tattoo design…read more everything seemed good, he was interested and I was excited. I texted him my reference photos and paid my deposit. Cut to today, when my appointment was scheduled and I get an email from Aldo saying he never got my photos and that id need to send them over now so he could be ready for today. He also apparently wrote my number down wrong which is why he waited a whole month to get to me. I wasnt happy to learn that normally he spends a week designing a tattoo and for me it would only be a day but I trusted the artist. Thats until I got there and saw that all he did was plug one of my reference photos into an AI software to design the whole thing. He was the one who messed up but he did everything he could to blame me. An experienced tattoo artist wouldnt say "what makes you think i can draw this". This is my last straw with this shop. The tattoo rooms are dirty and they didnt change needles when 2 people I knew got tatted at the same time. I'd pass this shop over.

I really have to give it up to the shop owner, Darl. He reached out to me, really wanting to make…read moreit right. I'd have to say that customer service is something that makes or breaks business and I'm glad that Charmed Life takes customer service seriously. He offered to touch up the tattoo himself (for free), which I really appreciate. I had to regretfully decline the offer since I live in San Francisco. Maybe I can arrange something if I visit again (who knows when that'll be!). Really sad since no one wants to fix it over here, even with pay! :( Anywho, I've added an additional star for Darl and his customer service. But at the end of the day, I'm not satisfied with my tattoo or my experience and it's going to stay with me forever.

I have had 2 tattoos done at Charmed Life and I have never been disappointed with the final…read moreproduct. The parlor is clean, the artists are welcoming, and the work is phenomenal. Fair warning, they charge $200 hourly for medium to large tattoos, so it can get pricey depending on what you are looking to have done. Trust me when I say you are paying for quality. My artist, Tony, specializes in black and grey realism. I wanted a black and grey waterfall with a rainbow shooting through the middle. He was honest with his opinion (he didn't like the rainbow idea), however he gave me exactly what I wanted and it turned out beautiful. He usually doesn't work on Sunday's but he made an exception for me when I scheduled the tattoo, so he is relatively flexible if he can make it work. He has also been nationally recognized as an artist and has about 20 years of experience. Charmed Life is a great place for all of your tattoo desires.
