You know the seedy underground tattoo parlors you see in the movies? This place is exactly the…read moreopposite! My daughter had been wanting to get a tattoo while I was visiting her for the weekend (she didn't want to be alone and wanted mom w her ), she called several places in Bloomington. It was tough getting a same-day appointment or a walk-in during these COVID times. She came across this place which advertised walk-ins welcomed. We came on a Saturday afternoon, artist Brant was working on a client. He offered a 7pm appointment later that day, she would have been his last client. We had another commitment and asked if he had anything for next day. Brant checked his schedule and said although booked all day Sunday, he offered to come 30 minutes before opening and squeeze her in. We came Sunday at 1:30. Not only was Brant accommodating, but had a kind and calm demeanor putting my daughter at ease. He did a fantastic job on her tattoo. (It was a simple signature smiley face that she drew, he then transposed it onto her wrist and quickly tattooed it on.). The establishment itself was very clean and well kept. The walls were lined with numerous examples of previously done tattoos. Overall a very positive experience!

I was nervous but we made easy conversation and she helped me feel so relaxed. I got my second earlobe piercing in each ear and my right helix done. I picked my jewelry at the counter and the receptionist offered some excellent advice in choosing my piercing jewelry as I had a hard time deciding between the many options. The shop is very clean and has a chill vibe. I will be back to get my tragus done, and hopefully a tattoo sometime! Thank you so much, Jamie and EBTN!

I came in to get a year-old helix piercing changed from a flat-backed stud to a hoop and was told…read moreit could be done. The studio where I got it done originally put the stud on very tight. Something was clearly wrong. Instead of stopping, I went through an incredibly painful removal and jewelry change process at Evil By The Needle. I was told constantly by employee they were "sorry this is so uncomfortable," as I was biting back curses and experienced pain much worse than the original piercing. I bled a considerable amount and experienced a lot of discharge that I haven't in months. It is clear now that it has not healed (and was under stress), but that was not the impression given as the employee lightheartedly told me that I could "get away" with a hoop being put on. Original jewelry was given to me uncleaned with blood on it in a bag. I hope I am wrong but I do not trust that this type of piercing will be done properly here in general. In trying to fix it, another studio let me know the way the piercing exited my ear made it so jewelry put too much pressure on it. Serious irritation resulted. I do not blame Evil By The Needle for the mistake of the previous studio, but they should not have moved forward putting in their jewelry, which was also far too large for my ear and the seam where the hoop closed did not meet. It was jagged enough to tear up my ear further. Helix piercings can easily have complications, but my situation was not helped by my experience here. Though it is not infected, I wish I had been told the seriousness of the situation and given advice on how to proceed. I needed to start over and let the area heal. Instead, a needlessly painful situation was furthered... and they let me shop at their studio for new jewelry to put in. I seriously urge anyone getting riskier piercings to look somewhere else for expertise and guidance on their proper handling. If you have concerns get a second opinion! Mistakes like this can be serious!

Last summer, I decided to get second holes in my ear lobes. I hadn't had a piercing since 2003, but…read morehad been thinking about something for a while! Piercings are walk in and even though it was pretty busy, I didn't have to wait too long. Jordan did my piercing and he was fantastic! Everything I thought I knew about cleaning and aftercare - not his advice this time around. No painful twisting your new piercing or crazy cleaning twice a day like they used to tell you. My ears healed so much easier than my first holes and I wish Jordan had been the one to do my original piercings! I took my mom back in the fall and he did her second lobe piercings too. She had the exact same experience as me and they healed perfectly. For my 40th birthday, I decided to get a second helix! Jordan once again did my piercing and it looks great. I'm only a couple days past my new piercing but so far no issues with it and don't anticipate any. I 100% recommend going to Irish Ink for your piercings. I may have to get another once this is healed!
