    I needed to make a Yelp account to make sure the piercer, Jessie Lee, gets the recognition she…read moredeserves. About 4 days ago I had both nipples pierced. As a woman I've been wanting them done for years but I really wanted another woman to do this piercing. I'm so glad that I held out! Jessie was friendly but professional and seriously did an incredible job! In such a short time they honestly look like they are already healed. I've been following her instructions (I wish I could put this in bold seriously please listen to your piercers/tat artists about after care). The first two days they were pretty tender but surprisingly not as bad as I was expecting. Now, they honestly look like they are already healed and I barely have any soreness. I'm already starting to forget they are even there! I really dig the look and vibe of the whole studio. It looks awesome and is very clean. LOVE that you can make appointments online. I had zero issues.d Jessie is for sure my go to piercer now! Also, thanks to Jessie and after seeing the place in person I'm definitely going to stalk the tattoo artists schedules and try to get some ink in the future.

    The artists at this company are amazing! I felt so welcome, and there was none of the 'we're…read morebetter than you' attitude I feel sometimes at other tattoo/piercing companies. I genuinely want to go back and hang out with these people! I had my nipples pierced, and the piercer, Jessie, was so much fun to chat with during the piercing! I will never go anywhere else for a piercing, and now I want another tattoo just so I can visit them!

    Miss Ruth did my helix piercing!…read more Walked in on a Saturday to check out pricing, and next thing I knew I had an appointment an hour later the same day! She was wonderful to talk to, very kind, and talks you through the whole process. Everything was very clean, sterile, and I would 100% recommend for piercings! Will be going back!

    Because they don't have a place to post this on their page, I get to share it with you guys. So, I…read morehave been to totem tattoo several times. My first tattoo in Pennsylvania with my beastie was at totem know Shamokin. Wonderful people. I have been pierced by the amazing miss Ruth and also by a wonderful young woman at the Shamokin site. So, it was inky natural that when my favorite tattooist (acacia) is booked for a year I called totem. Sadly, the main artist there is dealing with a serious health condition. They recommended calling their sister store in williamsport. Which I gladly did. I called on Tuesday. Was asked to send in pictures of what I wanted (a poinsettia to honor mom) and the placement. I was also told to call back on Thursday to talk to him and book the appointment. I called today (Thursday) after sending the letter and the pictures to talk to Levi and book the appointment. I was told that the appointment had been booked for someone else. When I said that I did everything I was told and didn't understand why the appointment was booked for someone else, I was told, "it happens ". Seriously?? That's how you do business???? I am so very disappointed.

    Erica is so talented! Worked with me to get the design just right and then did a phenomenal job…read morewith the tat and details! (I even fell asleep during the tat, that's how good she is). Highly rec!

    This review really only reflects basic piercings since that's all I got done BUT I chose King Cobra…read moreover other local spots because they had the best reviews for everything overall! My experience with piercing shops/tattoo parlors is limited exclusively to Claire's as a child, so I wasn't sure what to expect and have always been a little intimated by those places because I'm not what I'd consider "cool" (lol). I had my original lobe piercings done at claire's and have always had issues with those piercings and decided if I ever wanted more, I'd go somewhere more professional. Hence the search for a place in State College... I suspected a lot of places would overcharge because it's a college town so I did a lot of googling, reading reviews, and asking friends for suggestions either way. I have a few friends who've gone to the other shop in town for piercings and were happy with it, but when I looked at some of the reviews I was more hesitant. I'm a weenie about this stuff and really wanted to get my lobes pierced again (new spot) and prefer not having weird issues with prices not being disclosed up front and uncomfortable/unwelcoming vibes. I ultimately decided on King Cobra because of the reviews, but when I stopped in today just to get a feel for their vibes and ask about pricing, they were super nice and answered all my questions about the cost and pain. Even though it was mostly an exploratory visit for info, they offered to fit me in then and there so I just went for it! I paid $60 total for the two lobes, jewelry cost included. I've been wanting these second piercings for a while and since it's spring break, I figured I may as well treat myself. Jake was very friendly, clean/hygienic and everything you'd hope from someone doing piercings. The actual piercing was much better than I thought it would be, very little pain and didn't take long at all. He explained the aftercare and also gave a printout of the directions. I am very very happy with the piercings and will probably go back to get the third lobe piercing once these have healed a little bit (and I can save up lol).

    I I had a very strange experience here with Church. I saw one of his instagram posts saying…read more"custom scripts available" so I decided to get a consultation with him. During consultation: I gave him a few inspo pics. Specified the styles I like and what I liked about each inspo photo for his reference and I gave guidelines on size, proportions, and positioning. Day of my appointment: He presents the work and it was literally an inspo pic I sent him just resized. I pondered the point of our consultation prior and found it to be pretty insulting but I kept it pushing. We, or I, decided on a new design and we tweaked the size a few times. (In hindsight I should have tweaked it more because I couldn't see at the time that the middle numbers were slanted and not lined up well & the spacing would have looked better but was not trying to waste more time on an actual original idea that wasn't copy and pasted. Here's a timeline of my appointment: Arrive 10:30 Meet artist @10:45 *Consultation-redesign* Ink start: 12:20 (outline) "Lunch" Break: 12:45 (he steps out) Start Filling: 1:20 Halfway break: 2:30 Resume filling 2:45 Break 3:50 Final touches:4:20 Finish : 4:30 Rate $200/Hr Mind you, my tattoo is of only 4 numbers. I know this situation is embarrassing but I'm addressing my experience because it almost felt like I was doing Church a favor by giving him something to do on a Friday rather than coming in and being treated as a client. I conceived the notion that he took his time during the WHOLE process just to get paid more which, if that's the case, I lose all respect for him. I'm not sure if he was really listening to understand my vision during the consultation but the appointment had a bad start but I persisted and wanted to see it through to completion since I'm already there and have a decent 30 minute commute to from home. People concern over gas prices nowadays. My personal experience with Churchg was quite a drag and disappointing so I rate that a 3/10 If I had to rate the end result of the tattoo alone, it would be around a 6/10. I notice things that others wouldn't instinctively notice but it still isn't up to my liking sadly so I'm looking at laser removal treatment or even just by myself a machine for when these things happen. I know I definitely didn't need to pay $1100 for 4 numbers, 2 of the middle numbers being slanted. The Colombian cat that works beside him said even $1000 was a lot for something this simple and I'll agree with parcero. Ese panzón es un juevón para cobrar me así hijueputa. Church is definitely a cool guy as a person, I just didn't like the fact he copy and pasted an inspo pic which brought a huge burden to my mind, wallet, precious time and energy. It didn't bother me that he was lolligaggin with the receptionist while he was redesigning the tattoo on his iPad however I did expect better end results. If he sees this, he may smirk at this review cus he knew I was moving away shortly after. Unfortunately, I now have to find an laser tattoo removal clinic or fork out money for my own machine to blast this thing off of me. I just wish he was able to see my vision from the start but not everyone will fully see or understand your vision which is a part of life. In the end, I take full responsibility for how the ink came out like the waiver agreement states. Despite the lengthy review, I thought the staff there were mad chill and professional and I liked how clean fun the environment was like. Best of luck to the Ikonic fam. Happy Holidays. -LJ

    I got my sixth tattoo at Ikonic ink and I have to say it was a rather weird experience. The tattoo…read moreitself is decent, definitely not the best work I've had done, most of mine has been done in Pittsburgh and I've had one done in London, so I guess you get what you put of a tattoo from central PA. My friend and I got tattooed by Ash. Like I said the work is decent, but she kind of talked down to us the entire time. I have several tattoos but it's as if she assumed this was my first kind of thing and it was a tad condescending. My friend accidentally touched my skin when she was laying the stencil and Ash kind of snapped at her as well. I wanted the stencil in a different spot, so Ash would have to clean the area again anyway and what my friend did was a minor accident. It's like 20 extra seconds if that. Also she talked shit on my friend TO ME for looking at the other artists work on the walls. I really didn't know what to say, her attitude was just off-putting. Also I have to say the other artist in the studio was quite unprofessional and made us very uncomfortable. I think his name was Kevin. The people in the shop were all just young women and the comments he was making we're quite foul and inappropriate. He made comments about shaving his butthole and towards the end made an antisemitic joke. Once again, was not really sure how to react. This is just honestly not a business I'd recommend. I've had some great experiences with tattoo shops so it really just makes me unhappy to see something like this, especially in a college town where a lot of young people who may not be particularly knowledgeable are going to get tattoos.
