This is the second time that I've been to the tattoo and piercing shop; the first time I went with a friend and also came in for a repiercing due to a hospitalization. I'm hoping this will be the last time that I go to this shop for a repiercing, but I will definitely come back here if I have to. Joslyn was extremely professional and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time during the piercing process by double checking that it didn't hurt. I had to purchase one of their steel titanium jewelry ($15 was the cheapest one) and was not allowed to use my own jewelry that I bought from Laughing Buddha. Which is totally understandable and makes sense as to why they don't use other jewelry outside of their own. I think it also specifies in their rules or contract that you're not allowed to bring in outside jewelry, but I would call to make sure. I also did not like that they didn't have a more comfortable waiting/seating area. Those tiny chairs on wheels are not really plus-sized friendly and I would have appreciated a regular chair instead of those. The online booking experience for an appointment within 3 days was easy to use on their website. I believe there was a $5 security deposit that goes into your overall total at the end of your piercing/tattoo session. In fact, my piercer Joslyn even emailed me to ask questions about my piercing history and whatnot. I really appreciated her attentiveness to detail and for taking the initiative to understand her customer's needs. Overall, I had a pleasant experience with my piercer Joslyn and would highly recommend her for your piercing needs. Thanks again!!

Not my first rodeo and kind of my go to spot when I'm itching for a new tattoo or piercing. I've…read morebeen riding with this place for at least over a decade. Came again yesterday with my sister, my hubby, and my best friend to get a Friday the 13th tattoo. My hubby ended up changing his mind and not getting anything but stayed and endured the excruciating 9 hour wait just to get to our turn. Doors opened at 11am, we were there at 10:30am and didn't get tatted until about 8pm but I guess that's expected when you're wanting a $20-$40 tattoo. The business also had a food truck which was definitely a nice treat. We all decided to get tattooed by Juan, his IG handle is @tat2frel and he was just great to say the least. His work was impeccable and he worked with me on placement and lining until I was satisfied as I had it on the side of my wrist and the tattoo lining looks different as I twist my wrist. He was patient and didn't mind taking it off and on to make sure I was happy. And I was definitely happy with the end results. He has a really light touch and didn't feel his whole weight on me while tattooing and just an all around pleasant guy. He also remembered me from a few years ago when I brought the business a case of beer at the end of the night, thanking them for their hard work and willingness to still take us. They are definitely sweet people. I asked about touch ups and things of that sort, he told me he doesn't like to do them but sometimes he will. lol I'm definitely trying to get him to work on some of my stuff cos I really like what he is capable of. My sister and my best friend loved what they got as well. It was my best friends first tattoo and god bless Juan for dealing with my indecisive sister from hell. lol she can literally be a nightmare when it comes to stuff that she wants and he just took it all in with ease. If it's not because this is my go to place to come, it would definitely be because of Juan. Definitely will be coming back soon!

What better thing to do on Friday the 13th than get a tattoo for $13 ?!…read more Okay the wait was ridiculously long, but that's expected for a day like this. Luckily my brother in law was able to get a number and decided not to get a tattoo so he passed me his spot but they waited almost 10 hours before they got to our number (we were in the late 70s) My friend, sister, and I got our tattoos done by Juan. His handle is @tat2frel - he was awesome! Very patient! I'm super anal especially when it comes to things like this, I mean it's gonna be on my body forever ya know.. so I kept asking him to remove and redo and he honestly didn't care and just wanted me to really like what I was getting myself into. He also has a very light hand so it wasn't painful- my friend was completely at ease and this was her first tattoo! It was an overall great experience!

So I turned to Yelp -- which definitely came in handy as an Elite member -- and that's how I found Mason. From the very beginning, the communication was easy and comfortable. He listened to my preferences, understood that it had been years since my last tattoo, and made sure I felt at ease the entire time. Not once did I feel uncomfortable. Mason not only has a light hand (which I truly appreciated!), but he also went the extra mile and even played my song music request during the session lol. I was able to capture a few photos and videos, and overall the experience was just great. We've completed session one and have one more session to go -- and I'm already looking forward to it. Mason, thank you for your easy communication, professionalism, and the comfort you provide. You rock, and you'll definitely be my artist moving forward!

I asked for a snug hoop, but unfortunately, the one I was given doesn't fit properly and doesn't fully close, which has ended up irritating my piercing even more. I was charged $40 plus a $10 service fee for using Zelle, totaling $50 for a piece of jewelry that isn't functional. I take responsibility for not speaking up in the moment--that's on me--but it's still frustrating to have to spend more money to fix the issue. Sharing this so others won't waste their $$ Update: went back to where I got my nose pierced. The piercer asked me how the f do I walk out of a shop with a piece of jewelry like that, how is that ok? It's not, I got swindled. Just for reference, I ended up paying $20 at the original spot for a fitted hoop.
