He said not to twist them like they require you to do after a piercing at one the mall chains and to not put alcohol or peroxide on them. I waited the month with no issues at all and have been able to insert earrings every day since. I highly recommend. The shop was very clean and had a large inventory of body and ear jewelry at reasonable prices.

I had lost a nose ring and was too lazy to go buy a new one for a few weeks. I'm sorta new to town…read morebut I drive by kaleidoscope every day on my way to work, so I figured I'd pop in one day on my way home. I walked in and was immediately distracted by all the fun novelty stuff, as well as how clean and organized the store was. I wandered over to the piercing counter and was promptly helped. I always get the same jewelry so I can't speak to how great the selection is, but they had exactly what I wanted and for cheaper than usual. Since my piercing had been out for a while, the girl at the counter recommended that I have the piercer insert it for me, so I roamed around and tried to talk myself out of buying yet another purse with skulls on it while I wait. A few minutes later, I was called back to the piercing room which was clean and everything the piercer did was hygienic. I was in, out and on my way in just a few minutes. Was everyone so friendly that they wanted to stick around and chat? No, but they were as helpful as I needed them to be and would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a piercing or a unique gift.

Surgical steel is what they sell, and unfortunately, that type of material contains nickel. TRACE AMOUNTS. That's what they argued. My ear is full of scar tissue. So.... Money wasted. Thanks guys!

I came here with my brother's girlfriend over Thanksgiving from out of town. It's been a tradition…read morethat every thanksgiving when I visit, we go and get a piercing. We decided to try this place out for the first time. I wanted a double cartilage pierced and she wanted her belly button pierced. We both have many piercings and tattoos, so we both know the aftercare required to take care of them and prevent infection. The very next day my ear was pretty red and puffy, as was my brother's girlfriends, which we knew could happen. HOWEVER.. within three days of getting it done my ear was incredibly swollen all around and bruised entirely to the point it was going to my jaw. It was oozing and puss was coming out of both of them. It was so swollen it started affecting the other piercings I had in that same ear. When I got back to Chicago I went to my local piercer and he word for word said "who the hell did this?". He said a piercing should never look the way mine did, and I ended up having to go on an antibiotic for the infection and had to have ALL piercings in that ear removed including ones I have had for years. The chair, table, and tray were not sterilized in between my brothers girlfriends piercing and mine. We had been taking care of them like we would any piercing, and yet my ear is still tender to touch as of now. My friend ended up taking hers out as well due to the infection she had. Do NOT go here unless you want a botched piercing.

My tattoo was $100, which I felt was a reasonable price. The accept walk ins and cash only. I went with 2 other girls, one who got a tattoo and the other got a belly button piercing.

I followed a tattoo artist that went here, he was amazing! After he left I tried that spot again,…read moreonly to have my original tattoo fixed by the owner and it's now darker than normal. I then had the owner do a cover up, and it's okay but was way too expensive, also he was just complaining how much he hated tattooing and how he'd rather have a more "manual labor job." Yeah right.. My wife then got a tattoo from Diema "I think his name was, rode a chopped sporty" he was always high, and he put the tattoo at a weird angle; dropping it below the crease of her arm. Regardless another tattoo artist had to try and fix it.. All they do here is complain and want their money up front because they know they're gonna do a crappy job. So everyone should give the owner what he wants "a harder job" and don't go here.

The work she did on me took 5 full days and completely covers my entire back. The shop is very clean and comfortable, having an AirBrb as a rental option was a really nice touch as I only had to go upstairs after my daily sessions. Kelsey, Claire and Kyle are all amazing artist and people. Ink Ink is a great shop and I will be planning another visit in the near future!

Not sure how anyone could think people are here are arrogant... my experience here has been…read moreabsolutely lovely. The "feel" of a place to be tattooed is very important to me. I had actually only gone to female tattoo artists but when I saw Josh's work on Instagram, I was impressed with his vision, artistry, and use of color/texture. Even though we spoke on the phone briefly, I was apprehensive of what the experience would be like. Though we are only one session in to a larger piece, Josh and Transformation Gallery have blown me away. When I came in, Josh had tons of incredible ideas building off my general vision for the tattoo. I was so impressed. Then he free-handed the entire piece on my body to ensure it flowed on my skin. Josh was a pleasure to talk to and spend time with- he kept checking in to see how the pain was. AND the gallery itself? Absolutely beautiful. Tons of art work- it is more of an art gallery than what you may think of as a tattoo shop. No flashes on the wall. Everything these people do is original and a work of art. Highly, highly recommend.
