I was a little (a lot) nervous but she helped calm me down so much, and did a great job explaining what she was going to do, and all the after care. The piercings all look awesome and Bri was so gentle in the process. Highly highly recommend Permanent Images!!

Spent 4 hours getting it cause he kept crying HIS hand hurt and going for constant smoke breaks while leaving me in the chair running up the clock. At one point he even had the nerve to WALK to the speedway which is a half mile at least down the road. Said he would do a free touch up but when I came back to get it touched up he got all whiny and then said he would only do the touch up while doing a new tattoo and even says he doesn't really like the design I showed for the new tattoo. So unhappy with the service I've gone and had the tattoo re done elsewhere because every time I looked at it I would get irritated and the memory of Dan Coralto effing me over.

Not only do his skills speak for himself, he's pretty damn funny and he's also always creating custom pieces that never fail to blow me away as well as every person that comes across his work. I've been coming here since probably 2013 to get work done and couldn't be happier, he gets me in at a time that works for both of us and works hard to ensure that I'm 100% happy and free with my choices, like color selection, etc. I don't think I'll be seeing another artist for awhile when I've got someone that can create CRAZY custom pieces at a good price. If you need ink you'll adore and you want something that can't be found on Pinterest, this is your place.

The piercing was fine for the first 48 hours, but after, it started to throb tremendously. I have 14 other piercings including a conch, and have never experienced this pain. It got so bad I had to go to another tattoo shop to have it looked at. Turns out the jewelry was not medical grade and the post was so short, the swelling had caused the infection to form in the newly pierced skin. I ended up having to go to urgent care to get on antibiotics for the infection as my lymph nodes in my neck were swollen. I am extremely unhappy as I have heard so many great things about this shop. Plastic isn't for new piercings.
