Never had any problems with any of my piercings. She's really great, I always text her to make an appointment when I'm feeling like another one.

After 18 years my wife finally got me an earring to commemorate our wedding (I work around electricity too much to wear a ring). She commissioned an artist friend in Alaska to create it. We tried another studio, but they weren't wheelchair friendly. Studio 13 had a ramp out back, the folks were very considerate of her and we got to be together the ring was put in. Lisa and Lisa helped her be involved in the process and made sure I was well informed about the process and post-care. The Lisa that performed the piercing did an expert job with little discomfort and she took good care of my ear art. We will be back to get my wife's ears redone.

I visited Exclusive Ink to get both of my tragus piercings done. Alaric was nice and friendly, and…read morebased on the prep and aftercare instructions he provided, I assumed he was knowledgeable. I believe he mentioned he had been piercing for over a year. Fast forward almost six months later, and my tragus piercings still have not healed. While the swelling improved, they remained very irritated and would still bleed. I initially assumed it was from my hair getting caught or accidentally bumping them. Recently, I decided to have the jewelry changed and went to Studs in San Jose. The piercer there informed me that the jewelry that was used was not the correct one for the type of piercing. She mentioned most piercings should have straight posts, not curved ones like the ones that were used. I was also told the earrings were not hypoallergenic and that titanium or gold is typically recommended for new piercings. Learning this was extremely frustrating, especially after dealing with discomfort and slow healing for months. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this shop for piercings.

Recently back for more. And yes it was worth the effort and planning to get an appointment. If you…read moreare reading this review I will assume you are a serious tattoo aficionado who respects/appreciates a true artist. Everyone has their personal opinion about tattoos. And if you are a person reading reviews of tattoo artists hoping to find a person to trust with putting art on your body that is permanent I can't recommend enough the value of coming to this studio to see Marlo. She is a true artist. Tattooing to me should represent a spiritual experience with the artist. Trust in them to put on your body a piece of art that fits you. Something that matches your unique life and personality. Well, Marlo does all that. No stencils. Just free drawing an extension of my heart onto my body to remind me of my strength and resilience. She told me more meanings and I was absolutely touched at the insight she had into me as a woman. She created a visual representation that is so beautiful. Does getting a tattoo hurt? Yes. Of course it does. But Marlo is an amazingly caring professional and will stop as needed to check in on you and take breaks if necessary. But don't go into it thinking it isn't going to hurt. That is just silly. Some parts hurt less than others of course and everyone has their pain tolerance. But be realistic peeps, come on now! Be safe and enjoy life! SYOY!

I am beyond HAPPY and in LOVE with my tattoo!!…read more Marlo is welcoming, professional, and clearly extremely passionate about her art work. She genuinely took the time to make you feel comfortable and safe. She understood exactly what I wanted and what I wanted it to represent, and executed the design flawlessly! Her line work and shading are top-tier, and hygiene standards were excellent! Earthbound Tattoo brings on good and positive vibes, and is great with communication! If you're looking for a skilled, reliable tattoo artist, she is the one for you! Marlo - I am so honored to have the privilege to get this beautiful art piece from you! You and Le are genuinely great people! Keep doing what you both are excellent at! Aloha & Mahalo! 'til next time

I came in with an image I wanted and Rudy brought it to life. Rudy walked me through the process of the the detailing I wanted and was super kind the whole way through.

With how much experience he has, he definitely knows what he's doing. After the completed look I walked out very happy.

Brian communicated well with me and i was able to get an appointment. He was very nice and understanding when i mentioned that i was a bit nervous.

I payed $60 in total which included my change to a gold bar. i went back after the swelling went down and Brian changed my bar to a shorter one.

BLUF: If you want an amazing tattoo, book with Avalon ASAP!…read more I went to Avalon with a rough idea for a 3/4 sleeve japanese tattoo. I could not be happier with deciding to trust her with this piece. Her execution was amazing, and her process was thorough. Every step was well thought out; she even measured my arm during our consult to make sure her drawings would match my anatomy and be ready for our session. She was meticulous with her placement to ensure the flow of the whole piece was good and that it would be visually pleasing from any angle. Her shop is immaculate and is beautifully decorated with her drawings. Hygiene and cleanliness were handled very professionally. I love the 1 on 1 atmosphere of the shop. Made the experience feel more intimate and comfortable. After multiple 6-hour sessions, I can say she's really fun to hang out with, and time flies at her shop! She tattoos in multiple styles and has such an incredible ability to visualize art. I will definitely be returning for more work from her!
