I got my zebra shark done by him in 2023 and it's not raised at all. You can run your hand over it and not even feel the ink. He was so attentive to the details and anatomy that I mentioned were very important to me. When I went in 2023 I was of course nervous but going this time around I had full confidence I was leaving with a tattoo I would love. I got a hammer head done by him yesterday to mirror my other shark and again, it was perfect. He took so much care to make sure I was happy with the design and was very meticulously on my placement so I'd get the perfect tattoo. Today I have no swelling and it barely hurts, you can also just barely feel the tattoo itself. Just overall he's a great artist and the shop is full of kind and vibrant people. Every time I go it's a great experience. Absolutely would recommend him every single time

When we got there, my 45-year-old sober mother set an empty beer can outside because they didn't have a trash can. She even told the guy walking in with his coffee she'd grab it on the way out. He laughed. Said nothing. Cue the drama. Inside, we got hit with "what are you getting?" -- no hello, no guidance, just cold energy like we were ruining their day. We figured out the forms ourselves, waited 30 minutes, then suddenly they declared my mom "inebriated" and refused to tattoo her. She was stone cold sober. Apparently they have psychic bartending powers now? And yes, we flipped them off on the way out. Petty? Sure. Deserved? Absolutely. Their response to our Google review was straight-up fiction. At this point, I wouldn't trust them to tattoo a banana, let alone a human

We came back a few hours later and they still spent extra time with my daughter to calm her down and help her understand that it would be super fast. We are so thankful for their thoroughness and kindest. We hope this review pays it forward!

The store front was visible from the main road and you'll see "TATTOO" in large lettering but their personal sign next to the door was a bit hard to see. I couldn't tell if it was"Guys & Dolls" right away until I saw the red sign next to their entrance. The parking in the front was very limited but i found a sign that said there was parking in the back and found a parking spot right away. Their shop was clean and the woman that greeted me was friendly and helped me out right away. I signed a waiver, paid for my piercings and she recommended an after care product that I purchased also. While she went to prepare the piercing room, I hung out in the waiting area and enjoyed the tattoo magazines on the side table as well as all the art up on the walls. I was in the piercing room in no more than 10 minutes. I had a girlfriend come with me and the process was fast and easy. My piercer was sanitary and professional. I asked for a female too. I had a great experience and would recommend this shop to anyone getting piercings done

Originally posted to Google and it was removed, for some reason…read more I had my nipples and nostril pierced by Torrie in 10/2021. After 1-2wks my nipple piercings were embedding because the barbells were too short and my nostril piercing started to sink because of poor aftercare instructions/post too short. I reached out to Torrie and she switched me out for longer barbells (for free) and told me my nostril looked fine. Unfortunately, the barbells were still too short and my nostril wasnt getting any better. I lost confidence in Torrie and decided to get a 2nd opinion at different shop. I was switched out for more appropriate length starter jewlery and received better aftercare advice than what Torrie provided to me, which was spray the piercings 3-5x/day and this caused my piercings to dry out so much it caused irritation bumps. Torrie also never educated me on the need to downsize jewlery after 6 weeks. (Which is probably why she put in too small barbells) If you're not experienced with piercings I would not recommend getting pierced here. I'm rating Torrie a solid 1 since she did a great job on placement however, her aftercare instructions were not clear and I truly believe if I had not went to a different shop for a 2nd opinion my piercings would have rejected. Edited to add pics.

As a small business owner myself, I understand how valuable honest feedback is -- which is why I'm…read moresharing my experience here. I drove over an hour to this shop for a simple piercing jewelry change. The shop is listed as opening at 11AM, but the doors didn't unlock until 11:07. That might not seem like much, but when you've traveled a long distance and have to plan around work and traffic, every minute counts -- especially when a business posts specific hours across all platforms. Once inside, I waited nearly 20 minutes while the previous client -- a minor with a parent -- lingered in the room chatting after their service was already done. There was still another client ahead of me, and it was clear things were moving slowly. I started to get anxious about being late for work (which I wouldn't have been if the shop had opened on time), so I politely asked if I could just purchase the jewelry and change it myself. The lady at the counter was kind and helpful, even checking my nails to see if I'd be able to manage it. I had no problem paying nearly $80 for the jewelry -- the quality is great. My issue is with the lack of professionalism and time management. This shop is run by one person, and it shows -- there's no sense of urgency, and clients' time doesn't seem to be respected. What really rubbed me the wrong way, though, was how my first review was handled. Instead of taking the feedback in stride, the owner posted it on his personal Facebook page and used it to fish for more positive reviews, all while making me out to be the villain. That kind of behavior is petty and unprofessional, especially from someone who should understand the value of transparency and accountability. I won't be back. The jewelry is nice, but I'd rather shop online than waste time and deal with this kind of attitude.
