I had a really good experience here last week. I never knew that tattoo parlors that use piercing…read moreneedles were a lot better than the piercing guns that are used at mall jewelry stores. I guess that's why all of my previous piercings never healed properly and closed up. I wanted to get them re-pierced and after researching tattoo parlors in the area, I chose Sacred Souls because of all of the high reviews. I made an appointment online for a 30 minute ear piercing session, but I did not specify that I wanted 5 piercings (4 lobe/1 helix). Sin was gracious enough to accommodate my request. He explained their full process and showed me their starter jewelry. Once I picked out what I wanted, he took me to their piercing area in the back which looked clean, sterile, and well-organized. The room would look just like a doctor's office if it wasn't for the fun decor. The piercing itself kind of turned into a breathing/meditation session. Sin gave me a squish ball to squeeze and then his voice became calm and soothing. He gently advised me to take 2 deep breaths as he went forward with each piercing and these were not too painful. I was at a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Afterwards, Sin went over the after-care instructions. Despite my mistake with the scheduling, I never felt rushed during my appointment. It is obvious that Sin is knowledgeable and takes great care with the whole process and that safety and cleanliness are important to him. The gal at the front register was friendly and helpful as well. I felt like the pricing for the multiple piercings and starter jewelry was fair. I appreciated receiving a follow-up text the next day and so far, everything seems to be healing well. If you want to get your ears pierced, don't go to the mall like I did before. Definitely check out Sacred Souls.

First time at Sacred Souls. Perfect experience!…read moreBooking an appointment online was a breeze. Sin was there to greet me as soon as I walked in. He was incredibly professional and walked me through the entire ear piercing process, helping me pick out the perfect earring, and answering all my questions. The actual piercing was super quick and painless, which really speaks to Sin's expertise. I'm definitely coming back for any future ear piercings.

I recently experienced some irritation with my two upper helix piercings after changing my jewelry,…read moreand I was incredibly fortunate that Josh was available following one of his appointments to assist me. From the moment he took the time to assess the situation, his professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care were evident. Josh thoughtfully guided me through several suitable post options and took the time to explain the healing process with remarkable patience and expertise. His attention to detail and dedication to his craft immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was not only his extensive understanding of piercing artistry, but also his willingness to go above and beyond to ensure I left feeling confident and well-informed. It is rare to encounter someone who combines technical skill with such kindness and sincerity. I am truly grateful for his assistance and look forward to seeing him again for future check-ins as my piercings continue to heal. Thank you, Josh, for your exceptional care, professionalism, and generosity. Your expertise and compassion made all the difference.

Erica Rose: Professional, Talented, AMAZING! I have had…read moreseveral art pieces conducted by Erica Rose. She is the best tattoo artist I have ever worked with. Her professionalism and personality are astounding. She is wise beyond her years and truly a perfectionist with her skills. I am grateful for every session I have booked with this young woman who is so talented, I am grateful to be her client. I will be back for more amazing art work! PS. She would NEVER yell at a client as stated above by "Carl" who must be an absolute creep, it would take something extreme for Erica to "yell" at a client. I have known this young artist for years, have moved shops with her and that? Is just a flat out lie.

Erica: Talented. Catty…read more I came for a Bible verse tattoo and a secondary tattoo I wasn't set on. After some back-and-forth, she refused to do my Bible verse tattoo and encourage me to do my secondary tattoo which I chose to be a sword. She refused to do my lettering because she said it was too small, but as you can see by the tattoo in my arm, she can easily draw small lettering. So that was odd. Then, when it came to the placement of the tattoo, because of the location on my shoulder, the tattoo was not straight. She actually yelled at me because I wasn't satisfied when the stencil went on my arm. The other guy stepped in and he was able to correct the issue by using a ruler and measuring the distance from my existing tattoo to get the evenly spaced apart tattoos. This was odd. Once the placement was good to go, the tattoo experience was good. Due to the customer service skills of the other guy in the shop, I asked Erika to give me his info so I can have him do my Bible verse tattoo. I sent him a message on Instagram, but he ignored me and hasn't responded. I would not recommend the shop. A tattoo is a permanent piece of art on your body, for the most part. If someone yells at you because you're not happy with the tattoo or the placement of it, it is simply bad customer service. I paid her above asking, a good tip and also paid her $100 because I missed a previous appointment. Time is valuable. I anticipate Erica will grow her patience and customer service skills. She will be the complete package when this happens. But if all you care about is an extremely talented artist and tattoo professional, then Erika is your person.

Liane is killing it with the microblading. This is technically my first tattoo - - I love love love…read moremy brows and am now contemplating another one of her services. From the very beginning, Liane explained everything. There were never any surprises and the whole time went by quickly. I just finished my touch up and again, couldn't be happier. I wake up super happy now that my brows look perfect ALL THE TIME!!! If you're contemplating- just go in for a consultation. She's fantastic and you won't be let down.

Noli is absolutely great! He was great at communicating and I was able to come in for multiple…read moreconsultations to make sure the design was perfect before scheduling my appointment. I did come in with my own design but resizing and placement was my main concern. I did one consultation just to talk about the original design and how to modify it to be the size I wanted it to be. The second consultation was for placement and refining the size. I really liked that I was able to get the stencil placed on me before "signing off" on the design. Because my schedule was very flexible and I live not too far from the shop, scheduling was straight forward. We worked out a day and time that worked best for both of us and I paid a deposit to hold the date. I ended up coming to my appointment 20 minutes early and Noli was already ready to go. This wasn't my first tattooing experience so I knew what to expect. The final product turned out better than I expected. Noli added more depth to my tattoo that made it look like an artist took a paintbrush to my hip.The level of detail in the amount of time (2.5hr) was amazing; I'm impressed. The only reason why I docked a star is that, during the consultation process, there were a few times where we would schedule a time and then I would get a last minute rescheduling request. Because I live close, it wasn't too much of nuisance but it was a little frustrating.

You know how people always say they "have a guy" for things? I've always wanted that... and then I…read morerealized I do. Tony is my tattoo guy. I've gone to him time and time again for a majority of my work and he can't miss. This last visit in April was extra special because my daughter asked if we could get matching tattoos for her 18th birthday. It was her first and what's this mama going to say, no? Couldn't be me. There was no one else I would trust with that process, especially when it comes to something so precious. We sent Tony our inspo pics and he absolutely nailed it, plus added his own feedback in all the right ways. The detail? On point. The linework? CLEAN AF. Plus, everything healed beautifully. And the compliments? Nonstop. Everywhere we go, someone's asking who did them, and we're more than happy to show them off. Tony and the team also just moved into a new location and the vibe is immaculate. Super laid back, really comfortable, and not intimidating at all. It actually feels like a place you'd want to hang out. No ego, no weird energy, just solid work from someone who clearly cares. Grateful to have found him... because now he's not getting rid of me anytime soon :)

The ambiance was also really nice- they have this vintage, saloon style waiting room, and my piercer in particular had a bunch of cool art in her room.

From start to finish, the process of getting a tattoo with her was smooth. She was very detailed. She communicated every step of the way when it came to designing.

Location was easy to get to. There was ample parking in the back of the building. The studio space was comfortable and the step up was clean. I will definitely be going back for more!
