A good honest old-school tattoo artist with great attention to detail and having a clean shop. I'll take quality over cost anyday when it comes to tattoos, but what would have cost me 120.00 in the Bay Area for one tat, I got 2 for 40.00! Bonus!!!

Geared to tourists on Saturdays, waited over 2 hours to be turned down for a tribal eagle. Very…read moredisappointing not to be told it couldn't be done after waiting that long. Then the artist was hangry. I wish he wanted to give me a tattoo but he obviously had more important things to do than my tribal eagle tattoo. So bummed and I do not recommend the Saturday tattoo ... it's disappointing to say the least.

The effect is that the last word is not the same thickness as the middle word, which bugs me. I wish the whole phrase was the same thickness of line, so hoping she improves for other's sakes going forward.

What an incredible Studio to stumble upon…read more The shop was located upstairs in an old updated historical building, loved that. I'd say the shop itself was small with no frills but the artists are what make the business anyway. Very patient , very informative, and sterile. My 14 year old daughter was getting her second hole pierced and Danny made sure the location was approved along with setting her at ease the entire process. Post op instructions were verbal and written. It was better than to be expected and recommend to anyone considering a piercing to go to this shop. Very knowledgeable and experienced! The tattoo artist was not in while we were there but assume his quality and reputation matches the owners.

He had a decent selection of…read morejewelry, answered all my questions, thoroughly explained everything and sent me home with everything I needed for aftercare. The piercing itself was quick and professional. I can't speak for the tattoos but the piercing was as much as could be expected anywhere. It healed nicely and looks great. I yelp a lot but am primarily writing this after getting this piercing months ago because I was recently in another local competing business with a friend. Someone came in with a piercing emergency and they were unable to help her there. She inquired about smokin' guns services and I was shocked at what they had to say... Not good and not true.... At all. Clearly these are things they say a lot soooooooo...... If anyone is coming to yelp and has heard bad things about this place from some other local business.... Don't believe everything you hear, especially when you hear it from a place in direct competition. I lost a lot of respect for this "other" place just based on overhearing what they said. I am not associated with this business and am receiving nothing for writing this.... Other than the hope it helps clarify bad rumors and maybe get him some business. Go here without hesitation. I would definitely go back.

Both were on walk-in Saturdays and excellent! I have bad experiences from past tattoos (artists being rude, not listening to me, not getting what I wanted), and both experiences I've had here couldn't have been further from that. Note that they ask you to not take photos inside, the reason is really cool -- they have various original flash drawings (including work from Sailor Jerry and work for Janis Joplin!!!!) that they are protecting and proudly display on the walls. So cool. Piercing was really easy, they have a set earring that they pierce you with and also other pieces you can buy. I bought a ring here for my mom once! Tattoo walk in was also super simple. We walked up and told the person at the door our ideas for our tattoos, they asked us our budget, took our phone numbers, and told us to go carbo load before our tats. They gave us what numbers we were on the list and gave us a rough estimate of time. We left a $20 deposit to save our spot that went towards our total at the end. We were called (there were 3 of us) separately and only one person is allowed to go in at once. I think this is a Saturday exclusive rule because it's a smaller shop and they are getting people in and out of that door quick. When I was called, I hadn't eaten recently enough, so I ran and grabbed some donuts from the gas station down the street. I came in and sat at the corner while my artist sketched my idea. She showed me the sketch and I gave a quick edit, then we were on our way to sitting at her station. She prepared the spot on my arm and placed the tattoo outline for me to check if I liked the placement. I wanted it to be a little further down and she happily changed the placement for me. The tattoo took less than 10 minutes! She wrapped me up in saniderm, gave me an aftercare sheet and a sticker, and showed me some of Janis Joplin's flash on the wall (like, WOW.) I didn't specify my budget beforehand and she priced my tattoo at $80. I paid the remaining $60 (after my deposit) and left a $20 tip. I had a wonderful experience. A note about walk in saturdays -- you are totally at the mercy of which artist is available at the time. That's the name of the game. If you have a certain artist you'd like to book with, they are happy to make an appointment and have you come in on another day.
