Been wanting to get my ears pierced for years, but I was hesitant about how painful the experience…read morewould be and I never went through with it. Me and my boyfriend was searching for the best place for getting ears pierced and decided on Classic 13 because of there reputation and high ratings on Yelp. Since no appointment was needed, we came shortly after they'd open. The piercing process wasn't as bad as I had thought and it felt more like a pinch on the skin. Logan did a phenomenal job on making my experience a pleasant one and I surely recommend this place for anyone who's looking to get their first piercing.

They set up by appointment only and they book out pretty far which tells you that they are talented. The process was simple and I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he created something and brought it to life. Price wise they are fair and for the amount of work and detail that goes into something that's permanent you certainly don't want to skimp on those things. I would definitely recommend their services.

Large selection of latest release comics were on display and were easy to browse. Sorted by brand (Marvel, DC and Independent). The center of the store is full of graphic novels, the back edges and display case (at counter where you pay) is full of back issues dating back to Golden Age. Didn't investigate pricing too much, but on the surface it felt like they had reasonable pricing. Staff was friendly and interacted well with the customers. This is kind of out of the way for where I typically am, I would for sure pop back in if I was in the area.

Can't say enough about how pleased I've been in my work so far with Revolution Ink and Jeff Hubbard…read morespecifically. Jeff did my first tattoo for me a couple years ago, an adaptation of some 125-year-old art for my shoulder. Turned out absolutely beautiful, in spite of a couple rookie decisions on my part that certain things look a certain way. Last night he started in on a leg sleeve for me - I didn't bring anything for reference but a general idea about the theme, and he's running from there. Little different process, and better. Trust your artist - they do this for a living. The leg looks amazing already just in partial linework, but there are hours and hours left- if experience tells me anything it's just going to improve as we go. Jeff's an extremely talented artist and a super nice guy, and the rest of the folks in his shop are doing great work as well, from what I have seen. I'm looking forward to more work. You should go see them too.
