She's also well organized and well prepared for each session with plenty of ideas and possible changes already thought out to easily get you to exactly what you want within just a few minutes of arriving. Vern wastes no time during appointments and you are truly getting the best quality tattoo and service possible in your appointment window. I recommend booking a whole day session at her discounted rate versus just an hour or two because she truly uses the time wisely and really gets a lot done for you! (i.e. We got an entire thigh piece (my first from her) done in one full day session.) As for the shop itself, I was super pleased when I walked in for the first time. I had driven by it a ton and never noticed it, but don't be fooled by the plain exterior. The inside is clean with beautiful lighting and a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and helpful inside. By far the best tattoo shop I've been to for myself or with other people.

They had us come in one week prior to the actual piercing so she could see the place and know exactly how it would go. Everything was super relaxed, and any moms reading this - they offer Tandem piercing (two piercers at once)! So we were all done in just a few minutes. Easy. I'm also glad they have nice quality earrings that I know will not cause any irritation. I wanted to wait a few weeks to write the review and her ears have seemed to heal so nicely, she never had any issues. We've kept them clean just as instructed and so very happy with them.

Sadly. This was the most unprofessional piercing I've ever gotten…read more I went to get my snake bites finished and the first piercing healed and was perfect. But I would never recommend this shop to anyone. No listerine to ensure proper sanitation, needles and jewelry weren't taken out of package in front of me so I can't say if those were clean or not. I've had this done for over a month and despite proper cleaning it hasn't healed and is still very swollen and painful. I will never go back here again.

Some of the artists there are great (and MUCH more talented than him), but I sincerely hope they find a new shop that actually welcomes their talents. I was tattooed there a while back by an artist I really liked and trusted. She just recently parted ways with the shop along with another incredibly talented artist, and I'm 99% they were fired. All I know is this: they have more talent in their left pinkies than James K has in his entire body. Please, whatever you do, do NOT support this man. Oh, and avoid getting pierced by him at all costs.

Both times he was very knowledgeable and gave advice backed by experience on what size jewelry I should get and tips for proper cleaning.

Most piercings ranged from $25-$45 which is much more affordable than most other places! My friends recommended this place to me because of the price and now I'm recommending it to everyone else for the great service!
