Me and my friend

The service was top notch!! Mario was very kind and very straightforward of explaining everything. He was very gentle. The vibe was cool. I was very comfortable.

Great friendly environment, lots of tattoo artist their. I went a couple years ago for a small tattoo, and have been back two more times for tattoos and once for piercings Definitely give them a try I love Roberto's work! And Sol is a great piecer :)

Marisol was so kind and she made me as comfortable as possible. She thoroughly cleaned area (nostril). Came out to $50 and I paid Venmo.

First tattoo for someone that hates needles and Israel was the best. I wasn't sure how to describe exactly where I wanted my tattoo and how large but he was so patient and explained how it should be a little larger because it shrinks with time. Within 20-30minutes he was done and I couldn't be happier. Definitely will be back, I've told all my friends about this place as well. Cash only but there's an ATM inside of the bar next door. Very clean place. My tattoo healed very quick as well! Thanks Israel!

I went in to get two Tattoos, the First one was my Dog's paw and the second one was a Letter S on my ring finger. Well the first tattoo the paw wasn't shaded in all the way it still need ink and the lines were all different shapes on one side the line was thicker and the other side was a very thin line. Once it was all healed. In which I contact the tattoo artist and he said to come back but I didn't want it to get worse than it was already. And so he gave me back half of my money back. And well for the second one it just started peeling this week and once it peeled off I saw that there wasn't even ink. I took care of it how you're supposed to take care of a tattoo. I've contact him 3 times for him to finally respond back on the third try just to tell me he doesn't refund back finger tattoo because they're different. He was just gonna give me back $5 after I told him he fucked up my second tattoo then he agreed to give me the rest of the money. In which I paid $110 for. I also, told him I was unsatisfied both of my tattoos after that went ahead and Blocked me on Instagram just because he didn't like what I told him. Also, he kept saying that he didn't want to waste his ink since he said the ink was expensive and he was also way too talkative when he tattoo's. I felt like all he cared about was not trying to use too much ink and not care about the work he was doing and The Tattoo Artist was Brandon Estrada.

I got my first tattoo done here by Francis, and the patience this man has is amazing especially since I was a bit nervous and kept making alterations to it. 5/5 would recommend the shop and tattoo artist

I RECOMMEND THIS SHOP TO ANYONE! ASK FOR ISRAEL! I have gotten 2 tattoos from Israel so far and I am absolutely amazed with the way they both came out. I posted a pic of my first tattoo from him, the second will be uploaded when he completes it (only first session on it). Israel is very cool, down to earth and laid back. He definitely knows what he's doing. If you want someone professional and experienced, this is the shop to go to. Great prices for great work. Very neat and clean art. This is definitely going to be my "Go to shop". The shop itself is very clean, organized and professional. I have gone to other local shops where the staff is very unprofessional, rude, and dirty. Good vibes and good work here. Thanks again Modern Ink and THANK YOU ISRAEL! :)

Josh was really easy going from the beginning. It was my first tattoo so I was really nervous but he put up with me, and helped me throughout the entire process! Loved the results.

I had to get my industrial piercing off the next day because the guy did it completely wrong. Didn't sanitize whatsoever or wipe the blood.

This place is terrible. If I could give less than one star I would. I went in yesterday 05/04/21 to get the helix, industrial, and nose piercings. Not only did the guy NOT sanitize the areas, he did not even do the industrial piercing correctly. He told me to face one way and marked me and did it without asking if that's where I wanted it. Also he had done the helix piercing with my hair in it!!! He tried to charge me more than what he had said and I had to show him his own prices for him. I've gotten this piercing before but I had to take it off for school. I ended up having to get it removed the next day 5/5/21. My ear was swollen and turning purple. When I had asked for a refund for at least that piercing he said no. That he had given it to the boss and then refused to give me the boss' number. Then I asked for the manager and he said he's his own manager. And still refused to refund me. As he was removing the piercing he even made the comment stating that my ear looked bad and that he would do the piercing again for me. But he was going to charge me still. I ended up telling him that no and that I'm not going to come back. He has poor customer service and is shady. My sisters also got piercings from him the same day I went. He didn't even put in the piercings right because my little sisters piercing came off in the store and Had fallen on the floor and she was bleeding. She had told him about it and he was going to put it back and she had to remind him again to sanitize. He then said "oh yeah that's right" wtf do you mean oh yeah that's right. Customers go in there putting their trust in the employees that their going to be clean. Very disgusted. If this is deleted, be sure that I will repost it again.

Its supposed to be a full moon, but it wasnt even close to the pic we showed him.

Never going back to this shop again. The first time i went there I got a piercing and a tattoo. The piercing looked okay even though they didn't tell me how to take care of it. But the tattoo faded away easily and was disappointed. I gave the shop another chance and took my cousin and I to make a tattoo appt. and we made it a week before getting it and he said he would have the design ready and everything. The day of the tattoo he had lost the pictures and did the design minutes before doing it on us. My cousin wanted a full moon and it did not look at all the same. It just looked like a circle with spots. I let him know and he told me that that was his work and there was nothing he could do about it. I was very respectful to him but i wont be going there again.

The stud is the one he made and the one I have the hoop in  I got it somewhere else.

If I could give this place a 0 I would. I had done one side of my nose piercing somewhere else and I wanted to get my other side of my pierced and it was soooo uneven I went back to tell him and he tells me that the he can match the one he did on the one someone else did but I told I don't like how he did his it was so close to nose bridge and he said that if I take it out it's my choice that work is ok that I can get my jewelry and he will match the one made like wthhhhh why couldn't he just frame the one he did and match my other side. He said if I take it out he'll charge me again and 40$ for a nose piercing. Just don't come here! Save your coins.
