I must admit, I am friends with Ian. When I found out they (he and his boss Herb) were coming to…read moreCA for a tattoo convention I was stoked. I decided I was gonna get a tat. I told Ian I wanted a tigerlily on my foot. When I got to the convention we walked to sterilize his equipment and then went back to his stand. They had the most comfortable bench for me to sit on. He told me how his boss builds the benches and arm rests. We talked more about my tat and he quickly drew something. He listened when I told him to change things. He was fast but not rushing. He took the time he needed to make sure it was done right. It no doubt hurt a bit, but the pain was tolerable. We laughed and caught up while he worked. I barely noticed what was happening. Passerbys notice how relaxed I was, and Ian really helped to make the experience (not just cause he's my friend). It has been three weeks almost and it is completely healed. I am consistently getting compliments. Many people think it looks more like a painting than a tattoo. The most important thing is sanitary when getting a tattoo, I believe talent is next then you must find an artist you can talk to. Ian, as a person, has always been an easy guy to get along with. Setting biases aside, I would go back in a second to him. His professional standards are high and his workmanship is excellent.

I would like to give an A+ rating for clean friendly service. Mike did the piercing and he was very thorough with explaining the whole procedure and the aftercare. Did it hurt? Well yeah but just a pinch and it's over. As for swelling I didn't have any swelling or pain and the sensitivity was gone in a day. Everything healed up nicely. Not sure what the guy behind the desk name is but he was extremely nice and made you feel comfortable as soon as you walked in. Thanks for the great experience I will keep this place in mind for my next tattoo.

I really wasn't sure what to expect from this place since I'm brand new to Youngstown. Admittedly,…read moreI was worried at first since I passed a few streets that looked like the one I live on just blocks away. However, once I pulled up, I saw that the area is actually super cute and almost hipster-ish (but not in a douchey way!!) Once inside, I was immediately greeted by a friendly girl and shortly after another friendly girl as well. Since there were a few people ahead of me to get piercings, I chatted with them until it was my turn to get pierced. The gal (holy shitballs I sound like an old man for calling her that) who did the piercing was super nice and very friendly and didn't make me feel stupid. (She ALSO wiped away my tears as she pierced my nose!) All in all, this entire experience was excellent. everybody in the shop seems to have found the perfect harmony of friendly and professional, and I give them all mad props for that, and I will DEFINITELY be back, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Upon entering, I noticed just how clean this place is and the smiling person sitting at the desk welcoming us. There is an amazing variety of tattoo graphics lining the walls which made me start thinking about my next piece of wearable art. We were escorted to the piercing stand where Lisa came out to show the jewelry and prices. They have a nice selection of studs and other type of jewelry for piercing. Lisa also answered all of my questions and really helped to ease my fear. I felt very comfortable and decided to just do it. Sanitary protocols were adhered to and after a quick little pinch and a watery eye, it was done. It was so easy and I now have a nose piercing! I recommend this spot to anyone looking for tattoos or piercings. Service is friendly, fast and clean. I can't wait to come back for more.

I called the shop in Kent, told her what I wanted, and that I was hoping to schedule within a week if possible. The woman who answered was kind & organized, and said an artist would reach out to me soon. Scott called me within an hour and he was very kind & excited - he gave me his email and we sent him some reference photos. I didn't need to place a deposit, but when we showed up he came up with a bunch of little designs ready to go for us that were based on our references. He allowed us to pick and choose from the sheet and accommodated our wants/placement/sizing. He additionally was willing to do it in a marathon session, each one of us after another. Scott @vampire.lescott on Instagram was talented, nice, and accommodating! Plus, the shop strictly enforces masks and social distancing. The shop is very clean and the artists put their art on the walls. It's a nice little shop nestled in a plaza right next to Toko! There's tons of parking because it's in the plaza. The shop isn't open, nor are there separate rooms- it's a line with shorter barricades for some privacy. Plus, there's a bathroom in the back. I highly recommend this shop - I had a great experience here :) plus you can grab some delicious sushi on your way out from toko!
