    Extra line added

    I am going to preface this by saying that the owner seems like a genuinely nice guy and a good artist. He was the reason I wanted to go here. However, the experience I had with another artist there was not particularly great. This was my first tattoo, and the artist I had seemed somewhat rude and condescending, especially when I brought up my concern about line thickness and overall size of the tattoo. I'm guessing from similar reviews about rudeness from an artist, she is the one they are referring to. I was happy with the final design she was going to give me though so I went through with it. Throughout the process she seemed rushed. At the end she quickly ran through all the aftercare steps, charged me 200 dollars, and sent me on my way. When I got home and unwrapped the piece, I was horrified to discover that the line work was shaky and in some parts flat out crooked, and most egregious of all, there was an added line that wasn't supposed to be there, seemingly to try to cover up a mistake she made (circled in picture). I was hoping the crooked lines were from my skin swelling but so far that does not seem to be the case. This tattoo is on a very visible spot of my body and I am starting to think about down the road possibly figuring out a way to correct it and cover up the mistakes.

    Just wanted to update with a picture of the finished product. Picture doesn't do it justice. I LOVE my tattoo.

    The wife and I both went in got tattoos from Zac Schmidt. Both of us got exactly what we asked for, except they both turned out better than we imagined. He took our images, added the perfect artistic touch, and produced perfection. The shop is awesome and all of the artists do some amazing work. Plus they keep a fun and professional atmosphere. I would reccomend Thor's to anyone looking for a great piece of art. Stop by and see what they can do, you will not be disappointed.

    So I had my first ever tattoo get done yesterday with Justin, the owner of Thor's Hammer and I was absolutely blown away at how awesome the experience was! Justin was fantastic, he walks you through the whole process for helping you design your tattoo all the way to the end with his recommendations for having it heal up properly. He helped me formulate how I wanted my tattoo to look and it turned out phenomenally I'll for sure be a return customer!! If you're looking for a great tattoo shop I HIGHLY recommend Thor's Hammer and Needle. All of the artists there are really personable people who are laid back and just beyond talented artists!

    Thank you for providing clean, professional ear piercing for myself and my teen daughter…read more Dad raised two girls. My sister and I were not allowed to pierce our ears until we turned 18. So, shortly after my 18th birthday, I went to the mall... My first piercing experience was at a chain boutique; the employee was likely not much older than myself. She used the "piercing gun". Several years ago, life crowded in and took over. My holes closed up. My daughter expressed interest in getting her ears pierced a few months ago. After careful research, I determined that I would bring her with me to Aperture. I made an appointment with Lindsey who was attentive to my personal needs and wishes. She combined me and my daughter's piercings in one appointment. I would like to mention that Chloe and Quinn were also helpful and professional in their communications with me. Bottom line: -clean -professional -respectful -timely/punctual

    I got my second earlobe piercings as well as a helix piercing done by Jake. From start to finish it…read morewas a great experience. I had my 3 young kids with me bc I wanted them to see what it was like for when they asked to get their own piercings and Jake was great with allowing them to all be there and watch. My kids even timed how long it took for all 3 piercings (bc they were guessing) and it took just less than 2 minutes! All three piercings are healing great and I'm so pleased with how they look.

    I am beyond furious with the way Pierced Hearts handled my sister's navel piercing. From the start,…read morethis experience has been a disaster due to sheer negligence and a complete lack of accountability. My sister clearly explained to the piercer, Jaime, that she has a very flat belly button and specifically asked if the standard navel jewelry would be appropriate. He confidently said yes -- and we trusted his professional judgment. That trust was completely misplaced. As time passed, the jewelry began to embed itself into her skin, which should never have happened with the right jewelry in the first place. We returned to the shop, and Adam helped change it to a floating navel piercing -- the type she should have received from day one. He apologized and even took a photo of the damage because it was obvious something had gone terribly wrong. But the damage had already been done. Within a week, she developed a severe infection -- one that urgent care later confirmed was likely due to the original jewelry creating a gaping wound that never healed properly. Despite following aftercare instructions to the letter, she ended up on two antibiotics and hydrocodone just to manage the pain. Yet when we returned to the shop a third time to request a refund and share what she was going through, the staff were incredibly dismissive and refused to take any responsibility. They immediately shifted blame, accusing her of neglecting aftercare, even though we were meticulous. No effort was made to offer a solution, express genuine concern, or show even the slightest empathy. Just said "well, do you want to get it pierced again?!" ... no! Her belly button area now is completely bruised and mangled because of this place. We will never be coming back here again. To make matters worse, the owner was outright disrespectful and condescending over the phone. When we told him that medical professionals advised removing the piercing and draining the infection, her arrogant response was, "Why would they do that?!" as if she knew better than actual doctors. That tone alone spoke volumes about how little they care once they have your money. We asked for a refund because of all the trouble we've been through after the negligence of the first piercer, now having to pay for urgent care visits and medication. I chose this shop based on their glowing reviews, but let me be clear: if you're considering any body piercing here, don't. They might be decent with ear piercings or tattoos -- but when it comes to body piercings, especially anything more complex, they are careless, unprofessional, and utterly unwilling to take accountability when something goes wrong. My sister went in for a simple piercing and walked away in physical pain and emotional distress, and not once did they offer real help, only excuses. This shop failed her. Completely.

    I was so excited after seeing the photos of the absolutely gorgeous tattoos done by this shop, so I…read moreemailed (as suggested by their social media and voicemail). I waited a few days and got no reply. I called & left a message... no reply. I emailed again, still to no avail, and I planned to call one last time before finding someone else to do my tattoo. I was so happy that they answered. I scheduled an appointment for a consultation. I was there 15 minutes before my appointment time, stayed until 15 minutes after my appointment time. No one was there. Door was locked. Tried to call and got a voicemail, which was now full. No one ever called me to explain why or reschedule.

    Two stars because Nik did an amazing job on 3 touch ups , one cover up and two larger pieces …read more Booked back to back appointments for my daughter and I . We showed up 10 minutes early and waited for over an hour. Nik never showed up. We booked another appointment for another day/time and he showed up. We were his first tattoos and it was at 10:00 am. Nik took a couple shots of something prior to tattooing. I thought nothing of it because during prior conversations, he indicated that he was not a drinker . Daughter wanted a simple , minimalistic and small daisy behind her ear (black -no color ). My tattoo was going to take much longer . What she got was something that resembled a tube rose but actually looked more like male genitalia. He added red ink to said tattoo. My tattoo was to be a silhouette with background coloring. It looked more like a cartoonish character (asked for realistic) and the coloring was heavy in some areas and light in other areas and the coloring was NOT what I asked for . Nik wiped my back with one hand while resting the gun in the other hand on the back of my head. He dropped the gun and while it dropped, it knocked over the tray. He caught it by the cord before it hit the floor and for a moment I thought it was going to hit me. I sent him a DM and told him how unhappy we were. I was more concerned about my daughters tattoo than my own. His comeback was "you signed a waiver". I don't know what he was taking shots of that morning but his work that day was sloppy , careless, lacked simple directive, integrity and he was more than arrogant. He could have cared less about our concerns. Its a shame because I initially thought of him as down to earth, detail oriented and highly skilled. His pics on his page and website reflect amazing artistry , however for my daughter and I, we were more than disappointed and ended up paying twice for our tattoos by having tattoos covered up. In general, I want people to succeed. this applies to Nik as well but with that said , I would have preferred another no-show or cancellation over this experience .
