We took our daughter here to get her ears pierced and I don't think we could have found a better experience. The shop is immaculately clean, bright & welcoming, products are of exceptional quality, and the staff is kind, attentive, informative, patient, & professional. Matt was our piercer, assisted by Kaylee, and he was fantastic. He treated our young daughter with care and kindness, asking permission for each step, ensuring she was comfortable, explaining every part of the process, allowing her to ask questions, and putting her very much at ease. I certainly recommend Matt and the entire team at Gamma Piercing.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!…read more I have seen Chris Page, whom I believe is the owner of American Graffiti. I got my very first tattoo from him, and trusted him because of all of the work that multiple friends have from him. Seeing that my friends had good work and trusted him helped to ease my fears. The shop has about 3-4 tattoo artists, and at least 1 piercer. Their prices are VERY reasonable, especially for the quality. I can only recommend Chris, as I have never seen the work done by the other artists. Chris is known for his shading, and he rocks at it. But he books up pretty far out (which is of course a good sign!), so call sooner than later. But he has occasionally gotten me in at the last minute, so you might get lucky. Can't wait for my next one!

I am genuinely surprised by the overwhelming number of positive reviews Little Needle Tattoos…read morereceives, because my experience was very different. I recently got a tattoo from Bri to honor my husband, an Army combat veteran who served two tours in Iraq and died by suicide about two years ago. I wanted a sunflower with his initials and shorthand for the number of days we had together. This was not just another tattoo to me. I explained the design and its meaning in my initial email, then attended the requested consultation. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt "too cool for school." Interactions felt forced, and I felt out of place. I joke a lot, sometimes awkwardly, because humor is how I get through difficult things. I wasn't expecting anyone to understand my grief, just to be welcoming and listen. At the consultation, Bri said she'd prepare drawings and different sizes for my appointment. Two weeks later, none of those options appeared to be ready. She started drawing directly on me instead. Every artist has a process, but why require a consultation and promise preparation if that isn't what happens? My time matters too. I was also sick on appointment day; symptoms started the night before. With a 48-hour cancellation policy and a $100 cash deposit already paid, I felt pressured to go. I told Bri I was sick before we started, but didn't feel there was much concern. I found myself explaining the tattoo's meaning yet again. When I mentioned "+2K" for the days I knew my husband, Bri asked, "Is that for running?" She also compared my memorial tattoo to a strawberry tattoo she'd considered for an ex-fiancé after a breakup. I'm not diminishing anyone's relationship, but those situations are not the same. She repeatedly discouraged the number of days, and I eventually settled for just his initials. That was disappointing. At times she seemed to confuse me with another client, saying, "Oh, you're the one," only for me to correct her. Super welcoming! Much of the conversation was about her own life and Venus being retrograde. Then a break described as five or ten minutes became roughly 35. I sat alone waiting, without an update. I understand artists need breaks. A little communication would have gone a long way. **But the biggest problem?** My tattoo was supposed to be CENTERED on the back of my neck. It is noticeably off to the left, despite Bri taking a reference photo. This is permanent. My husband was left-handed, so I guess there's some irony there, but I shouldn't have to find a joke in incorrect placement. I don't expect special treatment because I'm a widow. I expect preparation, communication, respect for my time, and careful placement. I ignored my gut feeling because this tattoo meant so much to me. Instead, I left and cried in my car. I wish my experience matched the glowing reviews. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this shop, and I won't return to have the placement addressed.

I came to Liquid Swordz after a series of disappointments (due to the snobby attitudes of the…read morestaff, and the unnecessarily high prices of the services) with other tattoo/piercing joints in the Ann Arbor area. The first thing that struck me was how busy it was on a Wednesday evening. Even so, the receptionist was pleasant and I was given paperwork to complete pretty quickly. The vibe is a friendly, relaxed one - lots of great art on the walls, a case of body jewelry to peruse, and a slideshow on a TV which displayed information and pictures of work by the tattoo artists and piercer. I observed a couple of guys getting tattoos, and my partner & I chatted with the receptionist as we waited. "Evil" Dave, the piercer, had just finished piercing the navels of two teenage girls, accompanied by their guardian - they looked a little wan when they came out, but there were no tears. I was there to get my nostril pierced, and from the time Dave walked me back to the time I was walking out of the place only a short fifteen minutes had elapsed. Dave was happy to let my partner watch the procedure, and he explained every step in detail. I was impressed with his degree of care and knowledge. He also has a great piercing 'bedside manner' - just the right blend of information and jokes - which put me totally at ease. If I ever get another piercing in the Ann Arbor area, it will definitely be at Liquid Swordz.

Update: I got 5 cartilage ear piercings in one sitting by Dorian and he did a great job. He explained the process and gave thorough care instructions while answering all my questions. He was very professional and knowledgable and did an awesome job!
