I've wanted to get another piercing for years and just decided to go for my septum on whim. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place was IMMACULATE! It smelled nice and everything was clean. The art was tasteful. They sterilized everything and showed us the chemical strip that showed that everything was sterilized. Nicholas was warm and kind and answered all my questions. I was shocked at how painless my septum piercing went; I wanted to add on a service but got scared. Now that I see how well this shop treats people, I'll definitely be back!! My wife went with me and wanted her own piercing after watching my experience! 10/10 would recommend

I met with both the owner, Christian and the guy who would become my artist, Ricky Waite. I showed them what I was looking to get and booked an appointment for 3-4 weeks later. Long story short, Ricky came up with a design that far exceeded my original expectations. Could not be happier with the result. I will definitely be back. I'm already working on the next design. And Ricky will definitely be the one to make it a reality. Thank you to all at Lovecraft. You guys are amazing. !!!!

We had a little bit of trouble finding the place as he doesn't have a sign yet, but once we found it we were pleasantly surprised. Once inside you're met with a very clean waiting room with comfortable seating. It's a very calm environment which is important when you're having anxiety about getting a needle shoved through your body. Jay was very laid back, funny, extremely informative and knowledgeable. He was also understanding and did what he could to calm my nerves. It's been probably 18 years since I had gotten a piercing so I was a tiny bit on edge. He answered every obnoxious question my friend and I had without getting annoyed... if he was annoyed he certainly is good at hiding it. The entire process was really quick. I appreciated that because the longer something takes...the more time I have to get worked up over it. Once he was done he explained where the used needles go and where he sends the tools to be sterilized. When it came time to pay he went over what to use for cleaning. He didn't try to sell us what he has and even said we can find it cheaper elsewhere. My friend and I bought it there as it's convenient and we respected him for his honesty. Overall, he was very nice and if I ever need another hole put in me...I'll let Jay do it.

My clients have left many good reviews for me that I EARNED with hard work and good customer service but they are hidden because my clients apparently don't use Yelp enough. The reviews go straight into "not recommended" and the business I show up for every day has 2 stars. Well, I use Yelp. I've got some credibility on this predatory website and today I'm going to use it. Turnpike tattoo has been in business for 2 decades. I got the second tattoo I've ever had in my life here about 15 years ago by Kelly Doty. A lot of great artists started out at this shop. Over the years prior to my employment I would stop by turnpike on a whim with friends and get small tattoos as walk ins. I've never had a bad experience here as a client or as an employee. I'm sure this entire review is against the rules but at least our business isn't paying Yelp to remove our bad reviews like everyone else is. Here are some tattoos I've done recently.

I followed her around until she moved out of state and thats when I decided to give HD another shot. The staff is VERY friendly, not a gossipy crew at all. The client's ages range from toddlers to the elderly, which I think says a lot when you consider some have been going there for well over 20 years. My stylist listened to what I wanted and tried her best to work with my difficult hair when it came time to blow it out. I was NOT fond of her styling technique at all, but she gave me a good cut. I dont think they've convinced me to return as a loyal customer, but I would consider returning if I needed an emergency cut. Pricing is inexpensive - moderately expensive, depending on the degree of service. I had a cut, wash and blow dry and it was $60 (should have been $50 - apparently it was an additional $10 to blow out my thick hair...and it wasnt even completely dried and the style was sub-par). Parking is convenient and easy access to/from the Merrit & 91.
