Overall, this was a 10/10 experience.

He was understanding and told me that I could let him know if I needed a break. I only took one, and my tattoo took a way shorter time than I expected yet it still looks fantastic. Cory also did my best friend's tattoo. We just stopped into the shop toward the end of their hours, yet he stayed to do the tattoo for her. I thought that was super cool of him. The shop has a neat atmosphere. Lots of work from local artists on the wall. Lots of cool body jewelry to look at. Love this place!

I ended up getting two piercings and the piercer was awesome, talked to me about each step while they were doing the piercings. They used the needles for both and was all around great! Would absolutely come again for another piercing, they definitely know their stuff and gave me extra tips on piercing bumps, cleaning, etc! I believe the piercer's name is Mack, and the other employee helping me with the documents was wonderful as well!

Chris was so friendly and made sure to advise me they did not have the small size I currently had and would need to up my piercing size.

Side note: I was advised that ear piercings are $25 a lobe, not including jewelry - a little too pricey for me!

No rushing, no impatience, love it. I do highly recommend giving these piercers a chance for sure!

I love Vintage Karma. This shop has the best vibe/feel/ambience and greatest group of people. I…read morelove tattoos, but I've definitely walked into some shops that, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable. It might just be the day, or me, or who knows what that causes that feeling, but you want to be comfortable when you get a tattoo (beyond the thousands of needle jabs). Vintage Karma has a great collection of characters with a lot of talent, humor, and Intellect. They're open to chatting or letting you read/zone out/whatever. The shop is accepting of all types of people and accommodating for your needs, whether they involve breaks, snacks, or situating you for the best experience. I have several chronic pain issues, so working around those can be challenging. Note: be prepared---I'm not an incredibly social person, but work from Vintage Karma gets noticed even in places with a high percentage of tattooed people. For example. I was just in New Orleans, and I had people going quite a bit out of their ways to look at and ask about a phoenix/peacock (pea-nix) on my arm from Ainslie and my multitude of works from Caleb.

The owner Matt TRIED to do a nose piercing on me. He pierced the FIRST time so high up, it looked…read morelike it was running away from my nose piercings on the opposite side. It was very obviously out of symmetry. Then, after I requested he redo it, he couldn't get the jewelry out of my nose. He used an instrument and was pulling, jerking and twisting on my nose ring to try to pull it out, because he did not know how to remove a corkscrew nose ring. I stopped him, hooked it and turned it and it came out easily. He then tried to re-pierce it below that piercing, and pulled the needle all the way through my nose, and then tried pushing the SAME nose ring through the fresh piercing, without the needle. All the while, I am sitting impressively still for someone whose nose is being shredded, and he yelled at me to sit still. While he was attempting to shove the jewelry in my nose with his fingers. As I am leaving holding wads of paper towels on my bloody nostril with one hand, holding my debit card with the other, I was prepared to say nothing, and let it go. Then he looks over at me and says "you know, YOU wanted it high up," in the most arrogant tone. I then said, "listen buddy, you ruined my nose, can you just run my card so I can pay and get the F out of here?" He then yells at me, "wow, are you serious?! I have been piercing for 22 years!" And STILL would not take my debit card. I told him I did not care about his ego and that I just wanted to pay and get out, to which he replied "really?!" After my hair turned grey, he finally charged my card. And I ended up having to go back because he left my ID in his scanner, which he also tried to blame me for. Save your nose, do not go
