I've been going here for the past 15 years to get my tattoos - not every year! Two of my daughters…read morehave also gone here. I've always made appointments ahead of time in person. I would talk to the artist and let them know what I was interested in having done and made an appointment for sometime in the future when they had an opening. Today I got lucky and got to have it done right away! Everything is always clean and the artists are nice and always make sure they're on the same page with you. All protocols are followed. I have never felt like they rushed through getting ready and I really appreciate it! I'm adding some photos to this review. These are some of the tattoos my daughters and I have and they were all done here! These people are artists! I've taken in some very basic ideas of what I want and they come up with some really cool ideas. I've had some people say they would feel uncomfortable since they're older - they feel like they wouldn't fit in. I'm 65 years Ike and I have never felt uncomfortable, or like I didn't belong. They're professionals doing their craft! I'll definitely be back when I'm ready for another one!

Impromptu piercing and girl hang. Saw the high reviews on here and walk-in friendly so we ventured…read morehere. I got my triples pierced and my friend got her nose pierced. Julie was so chill and thorough and answered any questions I had. I really appreciated the amount of detail and info she gave me as she was doing her thing. I always like to know what exactly someone is doing step-by-step and that's exactly what Julie did for me without having to ask. After giving our IDs, Julie went in the back to prep the room while we signed the paperwork. I went first and then my friend went shortly after. While we paid I noticed there were some cleaning sprays which I needed to get more of. They highly recommended this bottle I got saying it'll last a long time but to only spray up to 3x instead of what the bottle says 3-6x per day because it will dry it out. I loved that they didn't try to push me to buy it I just knew I needed it! When I got home I scanned it on the Yuka app (scan beauty products and food and they'll tell you how clean it's made or if it has any bad ingredients) and it scored 100/100 which I've only seen on a few items so I'm so so so happy I decided to get it! I have two more piercings I wanna get done and I will definitely come back for Julie!

Stopped in here yesterday to look at new jewelry for a helix piercing and I was so pleasantly…read moresurprised by the price of the jewelry! Granted, it is surgical steel and not gold of course making the price better, but I was so happy to have several simple options to pick from. I decided to go ahead and get a second helix piercing since I was below budget! The piercer here is so kind and truly did an incredible job. The atmosphere was very laid back and calm which is always a welcome vibe for a space to me! I can already tell that this piercing is healing nicer than ones I have had in the past. I will absolutely be back here in the future for my jewelry and piecing needs!!

She stood out the most in the area when searching for fine line. Being an apprentice, she was amazing from the start of our phone consultation to the end of our tattoo appointment.

I went and got my belly button pierced and was really excited. So i got home and was looking at it…read moreand it was pierced really high up and it was pierced crooked. I know this because I went to another professional piercer and they told me this. It was a bald man who did it. He didn't let me choose the jewelry either and put a ring instead of a bar in. I then took it out and let it heal. DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Made an appointment 3weeks ahead of time with Beka. Showed her what l wanted, and she said she…read moreliked it and we set it up. Fast forward three weeks I show up to a totally different drawing, not even same style. She said if l didn't want to do it her way find another artist. I took PTO from work to get this done. She could have showed it to me ahead of same day knowing how much she changed it. Basically telling me she doesn't like what l wanted now... She liked it was in to doing it and then day of, was not. Big waste of time. Totally unprofessional.

Absolutely adore my tattoo done by Beka!! She is very talented tattooist & is a genuine person.read more

We knew it would be a wait and he offered us waters and recommended local spots within walking distance if we wanted to kill some time. Pat was my artist and took his time and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. We had him move the stencil SEVERAL times and he was happy to do it. I've had artists in the past get annoyed, but Pat was lovely. Pic included is 4 days healed.

For our first anniversary, he finally decided he wanted to get a tattoo with me....but we were only a couple days out and I did not want to do a walk in for a tattoo like this. I asked a couple other artists and they recommended me over to Rae. I looked at her work and loved it and hoped she could fit us in. I'm not sure what kind of miracle we had but Rae was INCREDIBLE. Starting from initial communication she was fantastic to work with. She came in on her day off for us (something I will never ask of her again haha!) but she made our anniversary so special. She's so cool, easy to talk to, and her art is freaking incredible. We literally cannot wait to come back and get our color added. I've already created a list of other pieces I want her to do, she's amazing. I also have gotten a small tattoo by Jo at a different shop before they came over to Cousin Paul's, but I wanted to give a shoutout to them because my brother and I both agree that Jo is the most gentle shader we have ever experienced in getting tattoos. The group of tattooers in this shop are top notch. They have snacks, drinks, and make you feel so welcome. And so many different styles of tattoo. I highly, highly recommend checking them out!
