As you walked in every staff was welcoming. My daughter was a bit nervous and excited, Ireland made the whole process relaxing.

I frequently recommend this tattoo shop to anyone I know that is sincerely interested in getting a tattoo. The warm and inviting atmosphere puts them above and beyond everyone else. Corinne, Jon, Penny, Dan and Mike all do amazing work. For a first timer: go to Dan, his touch is as soft as an angel. If you want color: go to Corinne, her colors pop like neon lights when she wants them to. If you want something detailed and intense: Jon and Penny have you covered. Jon's detail is some of the best in the area, and Penny's constantly working to be the best artist she can. Tell them RJ sent you.

My daughter got her septum pierced by Amanda. Before they…read morestarted, my daughter discussed her skin sensitivities with her, and explained she could only have titanium for initial jewelry. The piercing was placed so low, that it was basically through skin bridge between her nostrils. Nowhere even CLOSE to the sweet spot. She used EXTERNALLY threaded shit quality steel jewelry, which any halfway decent piercer knows has nickel in it and shouldn't be used on someone with skin issues. I took my daughter to my piercer who actually knows what he is doing and he confirmed the placement was way too low. We abandoned the piercing and had it redone in the right spot with a titanium CBR. Amanda is extremely unqualified is actually putting clients at risk with such poor placement. This woman has NO business piercing ANYONE.

I was always u see the impression it was this teeth clenching pain but in fact it was a bit unpleasant for parts but those are the ones that are always said to be unpleasant. If you want an artist who has killer original art, cares deeply about the client, and is fantastic at making any experience pleasant and enjoyable, you need to go here. A+ will always come back!
