Jamie is who I recommend getting a tattoo from!! He is the best!! We just moved to the area and didn't know anyone so we did some research online regarding tattoo shops and we took a chance at South Needle Masters and I'm so glad we did. Jamie is very talented, professional, and reasonable pricing. It was my bonus daughter's first tattoo and she was very nervous and he was excellent with her! I can't thank him enough for the experience, we will be back to see Jamie:) read more

Matt helped with both my piercing's my nose and nipples. He was great to work with I was on the fence about letting a guy do my nipples but he was super cool and patient he mad me feel comfortable. read more

This place is a staph infection waiting to happen. They don't use proper piercing tools/grade jewelry, the place is disgusting, and by the looks of the artists, you could possibly catch some sort of ailment. Not sure who the Meep looking artist in glasses is, but she/it/they looks sickly. Get help. Don't go here unless you don't care about your health. read more

I love how you can do walk-ins and still get work done. Don't knock it until you try it. I got a tattooed by Merry Jane a a few months ago. She is truly talented! Then, today I got two piercings by Ceci on my helix( ear cartilage) and it's super cute! read more

Zelle was freaking amazing. He did 3 of us and was very patient and funny. We loved all 3 different tattoos. read more

I'd normally never make a post like this, but this chick seriously did me DIRTY. I would never trust her ("voodoo") to ever get close to me with a needle again. I got three dermals on my chest. She had to redo one of the three dermals because it was crooked, only to have them still turn out crooked after she had a second attempt. Two out of the three had to be taken out because they never healed correctly. Ben took the top two piercings out and also gave me a voucher to get a free piercing (he was great). However, a free piercing isn't going to get rid of the scars that I'm left with after dealing with the botched piercings that I received from voodoo. I would highly recommend having someone else do your piercings!! read more

I'll tell you about each person I got a tattoo by there and rate the artist: *My tattoo was done by a guy name josh (I don't think THIS josh works there anymore but he had a tattoo on his face of scissors) 4/5 stars. Pretty cool guy. Did a nice job. I would go to him again *my tattoo done by Spade: 5/5 stars EXCELLENT. I had just lost my son and wanted a tattoo of his footprints and some wording. Spade was very hands on- threw in some ideas of his own and this tattoo he did is still my favorite one. *my tattoo done by another guy name Josh (I think this josh still works there) 2/5 stars I understand the man was probably tired from working hard but he made it VERY apparent that he didn't Want to be there and when I asked for his input he was annoyed that I asked and didn't help on top of that he messed up on my tattoo. It is my least favorite tattoo and I'm deciding whether I'm gonna laser remove it or attempt a cover up *My tattoo done by Steve 5/5 stars Steve was the nicest and most personable person I've gotten a tattoo from at needle masters.he was very funny and actually made an effort to entertain me and my friend while he was doing our tattoos and he was also very reasonable with the tattoo pricing read more

Tattoos artists are supposed to use ART when tattooing. Spade prints pictures off the internet. Lines aren't straight or consistent. Shading is subpar. When my disappointment was expressed he said "not my problem" read more

My sister and I both went here today. She got her belly button done, and I got my belly button, a simple nose piercing, and I wanted to get my septum redone. I went first, and since I had already had a septum before, the piercer (Brandi Cline) wanted to make sure that it was closed, she put a taper in and to my surprise it was still open, so she put new jewelry in and made it so that there was no charge for it. Then my nose piercing went smoothly. When we got to my belly button, she was very nice about it while I was super nervous. She pierced it, but she also nicked my skin above it in the process. She of course felt terrible and told me there would be no charge since she had messed up, and she said it was the first time she had done that to someone in years. I was very pleased with the outcome despite being nicked! My sister got her belly button done very smoothly and it looks great. Thank you so much Brandi Cline for being patient and caring, and for helping us feel more confident! read more

Needle Masters - nose piercings - Tattoo Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

when I first came to this shop it was because of covid and my usual shop wasn't doing piercings or jewelry changes on minors. So I came to a close and trusted option (so my friend said). I walked in and was approached by a piercer that went by "voodoo" and I was looking for a new piece of jewelry for both of my daith's and my nose. These piercing are both WELL over two years old and healed. So I picked out some jewelry and we headed to the back. She took out my daith piercings first and was ROUGH and put in some jewelry that had some kind of deformity (sharp edge) to it because it wasn't the same one that was on the display. It caused me a huge migraine and I landed in the hospital. I got these piercings to heal my migraines. And they were working until she ruined them. Then the nose jewelry they gave me was horrible and cheap the first piercing I ever got was my nose and jewelry never upsets it. This piece of jewelry SUNK INTO my nose and made the hole bleed! I would never recommend this place, they're cheap, and they have crappy attitudes. read more

The customer service here is terrible. Myself and sister came up there to get a tattoo done. It took the guy 30-45 mins to come out and greet us. They told me to come in at 1030 and i was on time. Their time management is horrible. After sitting there for 30-45 mins he told us that he would do it at 2 tomorrow so it was a big waste of time. We came back at 2 and he came out 15 mins later saying he needs a hour to wrap up his 11 o clock appt. He gave us the 2 o clock appt the next day so I really didn't understand the hold up. Terrible don't go here for any type of service because they don't care about their customers or their time. read more

They were all very professional and everything was done properly. Very clean and fair pricing! Jay talked to me through the whole process and explained everything he was doing. 10/10 recommend! read more

Every time I've gotten a piercing ( which I've had 7 ) have all healed great and the piercers have been talkative with me and nice. I don't understand the negative reviews because I've gotten tattoos from here from spade and he free handed my tattoo and it turned out great. Thank you for everything you do. read more

nobody in this place was wearing a mask and everyone was incredibly rude. having a sign on the door saying no attitude but the ones with the attitude are the workers! stay away from this location, the location on telegraph are actually friendly and professional. read more

Came here last min and got me in for just simple ear piercing! I saw José and he kept me calm and did a good job at making sure they are evenly placed! Over all good experience! read more

Got my first tattoo here 7 years ago when I was 18 and to this day, it's one of my favorites. My artist, Mario, wasn't heavy handed, gave me exactly what I wanted, and charged my mom a reasonable price. Fast forward to a few days ago when a friend of my got some work done by this same artist, and I could not be more disappointed for him. He was charged $300 for a medium sized piece, composed of mostly text and very minimal shading and the piece was incredibly rushed and quite honestly, half assed, in both of our opinions. $300 for the mediocre work that my friend was given is completely outrageous and I would never recommend anyone visit this location or get tattooed by this artist, ever. read more

This place gives bad piercings and even worse tattoos. It's a chop shop designed to take all your money and send you out the door looking worse than before. I came here for a simple nostril piercing to match what I had going on the other side. From the start, the "head piercer" Ben was cocky and bragging to the other artist that he was going to do a freehand nostril piercing. This turned me off from the start because I was specifically requesting that he took extra care to match what I had on the other side. Instead, he gave me a poorly planned piercing that was nowhere near even with the other side. It was noticeably higher and more forward than the other side. When I pointed this out, he told me "well it's close". I'm sorry, but this is extremely disrespectful especially when I'm putting my trust into you to give me something I'll be happy with. Now I'm stuck with a piercing I hate and can't take out until it's healed. read more

In a moment of declaring my adulthood, I decided to get some ink. Being my first tattoo, I was a bit nervous and unsure but after getting a raving review for Needle Master's I had to check it out. I was warmly welcomed and helped right away. After some comtemplation, I decided to go for it. The artist Drew (who is no longer there) was very skilled, knowledgeable and I felt completely at ease. He drew up a design quick that was exactly what I wanted and it turned out perfect. I have referred 3 other people to this parlor and they were all very happy customers. Its been a few years and it looks great but almost ready to take them up on their lifetime guarantee to brighten up the lighter colors, which was a huge plus. read more

I've been here for 4 tattoos. Twice by the same person no problem. One by another person no problem, this last person is the reason I'll never go back to needle master. My tattoo is NOT straight and it's very thick. This tattoo meant the world to me. I was told to come back and get it fixed and the guy who was supposed to fix it never showed up. Do not recommend. read more

Unprofessional. Rude. Didn't seem to knowledgeable on any questions. Dermals came out multiple times because of bad piercing techniques.

WORST PLACE EVERRRRR !!!! I recently went to get a tattoo one on my ribs ( a quote) and decided I wanted a second tattoo one on my arm ( family tree ). Was told I had to pay up front before my second tattoo was done then once I paid I was told to come back and I was put off numerous times . I feel because I paid a chunk of money ($750) up front Mario doesn't want to take the time out to do the tattoo because he was already paid for it 3 weeks ago for it . Because he's not a man of his word now I have to fight to get my money back. I find it funny how the shop and artists think the " no refund" signs are a security net to keep people's money and not do tattoos. ITS NOT A REFUND IF ITS NOT ON ME YET!! BASICALLY STOLE FROM ME!! SAID YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR TATTOO BEFORE YOU GET IT BECAUSE IF THEY TATTOO SOMEONE AND THE PERSON DONT LIKE IT THEY ARENT GONNA PAY SO ITS A FREE TATTOO . So from May 18 2020 to today I was pushed back 4 times and today I was scheduled at 6pm I show up he's not there ... I called him and says he " forgot" . ( THIS IS THE STUFF HE HAS DONE FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS - "FORGOT OR WAS BOOKED " then had the nerve to call me disrespected me by screaming and saying I was " demanding " when all I did was ask if he could get me in at 730 yet again . So now I'm forced to take other actions ... I DONOT recommend anyone go there. read more

Mario did a tattoo on my wrist. It was suppose to be my daughters name. Brooklyn. He had the stencil correct then decided to free hand which I questioned but he guaranteed he could do words better free hand well when he was done I looked down and started crying he spelled it wrong. He smelled like he had just smoked a bowl then put a pound of cologne on to try to cover it up. He went over it and corrected it the best he could. I was so upset. He then argued with me that you spelled brooklyn brookyln (which is how he spelled it) then he continued to charge me $95 for the fucked up tattoo and gave an attitude when I didn't leave a tip. He also screwed up my friends side piece the same day. She had gotten 10 tattoos there and 4 piercings before then. She's never went back. I would be mad no matter what tattoo he messed up but this one is my daughters name. That's a big deal to me. And then to continue to charge full price which every other studio and artist I've talked to have all said something that small and simple would be closer to $60-$65 not $95 read more

shortly after i turned 18 i came here to get my first tattoo and a piercing. josh my artist was really chill and made me calm down because i was a bit nervous. he did a really good job. also got my belly button pierced here and devin did a really good job piercing me. i didn't feel it at all. and then i came back a couple weeks later and i got my nose pierced and ben did a really good job. he was funny and made it all go by faster. i recommend this shop for sure! read more

They only get one star Bc it wouldn't let me do no stars read more
