The shop was super clean and welcoming, and I loved the whole vibe of the place. Everyone I interacted with was really friendly. While I was there, I was also able to get a consultation with another artist about a cover-up I've been wanting to do, which was a huge plus. They took the time to talk through some options with me and give me an idea of what we could do with it. I'm really happy I found this shop and had such a good experience with Benny! I am so grateful to have found a local shop that checks all of the boxes!

All of the staff were friendly, the wait was very short, and the facility and equipment seemed to be very sterile. My daughter's piercer, Angie, was very kind and took her time in the process. Unfortunately, my daughter is prone to fainting, which she did shortly after the piercing took place. Everyone was quick to respond and help and KayDean knew exactly what to do to ensure my daughter recovered quickly, they gave her an ice pack and some gatorade and water to help her get back to her normal self. Although it was a little scary, the staff all were extremely helpful and remained calm during the episode. I appreciate all of them for helping her out and making sure she was okay. My daughter loves her new piercing and it is healing up nicely!

This ear was curated by survival…read more I've been going to Emilie at Rad-A-Tat for quite some time, and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about her.

Had my first tattoo EVER done last night at Hotrod Tattoo. What a fantastic experience from first…read moreinteraction with the front office team to the actual tatting. I wanted something very simple as a daily reminder. (See photo.) I was thankful that nothing seemed too small for them to tackle. I was a bit intimidated after seeing the beautiful art coming from here and all I wanted was simple text. But wow! Great service from the customer service to interaction with Jesse Kube, who did my tattoo. The room was pristine, comfortable and private! I had pictured a room full of artists work together on a bunch of clients at once. In addition, Hotrod Tattoo is immaculate and first class. Jesse was so gentle and calm, that I felt calm too. My tat was done in no time and Jesse said I did great. I felt like I'd earned a GOLD STAR! Jesse carefully explained the aftercare instructions and walked me out and handed me the product I should use. I appreciated that very much. He said he'd see me for my "next" tattoo. I'll tell you, if there is to be another (and there may be) I will be back. I think that's the highest recommendation one can give.

I figured the circumstances make it okay to add an update on my review for DHTC. As I said, I was…read morevery happy to have made the trip to Gilbert, AZ from Dallas, TX. My update isn't adding much other than I still highly recommend this shop. James Withee the owner, is very good at what he does. If you're lucky enough to book with him, I certainly say from getting tattooed by him that James will do the absolute best he can to give you a tattoo you can be happy with. Even if you have a hard time sitting still like I did. Here is a healed shot of the tattoo James did on me back in May. All I can say is "Thank you".

This spot came highly recommended from friends but mostly my trusted niece. She came here to get her eyebrow piercing and raved about their services. With several locations, we preferred the Tempe location. Super easy to schedule an appointment online and quick forms to complete before your appointment. I opted to get my nose pierced and potentially two more ear piercings. The selection of jewelry varies from affordable to really high end solid gold. The receptionist was so knowledgeable and wonderful at making suggestions for my choices. Love her style and she was spot on in matching my vibe. I loved being able to mix my metals of gold, silver and rose gold. For me, I wanted higher quality and fashionable pieces so my total was over $700 with the piercings and jewelry. They also had MDW sale discount of 20% but that eventually went as my tip to my piercer Josh. He is super cool and very thorough. Made me feel comfortable and laughing. My niece had Aubrilynn and loved her. As for the piercing, it is not painful at all. If you can take waxing or plucking, it's easy peasy! There is a little soreness on my left ear but it went away after treating myself to Taiwanese pancakes and jelly tea. You should purchase the saline solution to keep your piercings clean. Accessories are the exclamation point to your outfit. So if you're up for it, get pierced here with any of their incredible staff. To me, overdressed is a myth invented by those who have never been fabulous.

They take tattoo hygiene and sanitation extremely seriously, which made me much more comfortable throughout the several sessions needed to complete my sleeve. One of the only shops to use an autoclave for extra sterilization. Living Canvas surpassed my expectations and is miles ahead of any competitors. This sleeve turned out better than I expected.

I've wanted a 3rd hole in my ears for some time, so it felt serendipitous that she was there! Dacie could do all different kinds of piercings and had a ton of different jewelry options. I went with simple gold diamond studs with a flat back. Dacie was amazing- she explained the process, I watched as she sanitized everything and pulled out fresh needles to do the piercings. She even had a ruler out to measure the spacing between holes and triple checked everything by was where I wanted it to be. She talking me through everything she was doing and voila, was done super quick. She sent me home with a saline solution to keep them clean and made sure all of my questions were answered before letting me off of the table.
