I swore I'd never get a tattoo and just had Matt finish my third one. I got my first tattoo designed and personalized by Matt in 2022, the second in 2025, and the third a week ago. I explained my general idea and he created each design while providing expert advice on placement, size, and flow. Matt's shop is clean and has a welcoming vibe. Super happy with my tattoos and that I found an artist I fully trust.

Matt was able to take my inspiration pics and create a beautiful piece of art on my shoulder which I am about to have extended - I can hardly wait to see what he has designed to add to it; I'm sure it will be equally as beautiful.

Went to Craig Pokes U with my friend for forward helix piercings and the attitude we got was…read morehonestly crazy. When we first walked in the staff seemed super friendly with other customers, but the second it was our turn the vibe completely changed. We waited over an hour just to be helped, then the apprentice seemed annoyed that we were asking about jewelry prices. Sorry for wanting to know what we're paying for? Some pieces were $300-$370 each, which I understand because it's solid gold, but the way we were treated when we didn't want to spend that much made us feel judged and uncomfortable. The actual piercing process was also not great. The piercer smelled strongly like cigarettes while working on my ear (not exactly comforting), and he was really rough with my friend's piercing and kept bumping into her other piercings during the process. Overall the welcoming vibe disappeared FAST and the whole experience felt awkward and judgmental. Save yourself the weird energy and just drive the extra 12 minutes to Mister Finister's Tattoo & Piercing for a much better experience.

Now nearly a year later and fully healed I can say CraigPokesU did a terrific job piecing my nose…read more When I arrived at the adorable shop, I was greeted by one of the piercers and given a variety of options for my first jewelry. One of my biggest complaints is being stuck with an ugly stud for a whole year while it heals. Not only did I find an opal I loved but they were able to change the jewelry color to gold through anodizing. They provided care instructions and offered to reduce the length of the jewelry once it had healed. They take cash and have an ATM in the store but I recommend bringing some to avoid a fee. I will certainly be returning next time I decide on a piercing!

I was dreading having to go to MoCo or VA! The shop I went to is in a lil suspect-looking suite near Iverson Mall but it was easy to find. Please check out his website and trust him with your next piercing. BTW: he runs specials on a regular. Planning on going again soon for my rook and Christina piercing. When you get your nerve up ... go visit him and tell him you saw it on Yelp.

The next day I made my way to the shop and after a bit of a wait, apparently a lot of people took the opportunity for this special, I was up.

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

Everything was clean and process was fast and easy. I'm not very experienced with tattoos and tend to be a baby with pain and can't even look at needles but Jacqi is very experienced and made the whole process smooth and easy. Definitely reccomend both Jacqi and Wicked Goddess- her art style is soooooo cool and even though I havent been pierced here they have a huge jewelry selection.
