They just sold me some bunk low grade quality jewelry, same jewelry they pierced me with actually. Had to go to another shop to get it looked at they told me the quality was horrible and they've had to fix and help multiple people coming from red dragon tattoo. They also told me the white build up under my piercing was from the jewelry quality that they had pierced me with. maybe before getting a piercing here you should ask them the specs and actually quality of their jewelry and if you can see the paperwork on it so you can see for yourself. Overall experience over the past weeks after i received my piercing from them has been horrible in my experience and wouldn't recommend them to anyone especially after i found out how bad their jewelry really was.

I've been going to Alan for awhile now. I started with a tribal owl on my leg and went on to cover…read morethe entire calf with my own design. Alan was receptive to my ideas and drew up a design that fit the area nicely and looks great. From there we moved on to a cover up on my arm and adding additional Koi above it. I simply showed Alan what I liked and let him have at it. He has done an amazing job of covering up the old garbage and working in the new to make a cohesive piece. It was a two month wait from walking in the door to actually getting my first tattoo started. Well worth the wait. If you want a quality tattoo this is certainly the place to come. Alan may not be the cheapest or the fastest but he is definitely the best. Get your appointment now, I'm scheduled through October.

You get nickel and dimed here for everything and charges aren't explained. Had my ears repierced…read morehere after one had closed. Jewelry that was put in was the type that inserts from the back and has a ball that screws in from the front. After they had healed and I went to change the jewelry one of the earrings had been screwed on so tightly I couldn't remove it. Stopped in to have them unscrew it. 30 seconds total (using a hemostat to clamp the earring to remove) and she charged me another $10. Nobody mentioned this charge at all when I asked if someone could try to unscrew it or when I was called back to have it done. Great way to drum up extra business. Secure the jewelry so tight you have to return and they have to remove it with a hemostat. Then tack on an additional fee. I've had other friends with bad up-charge experiences too. One friend called to see how much it would to have her ears pierced and was told $50 over the phone. She ended up getting double piercings thinking it would be $100 and walked out with a bill over $300! Be sure to ask what the total charges are before you even sit down and get it in writing if you have to use their services. Or better yet, go somewhere else.

I've been following Annie Bone on IG for a year now, that woman is an artist. With a background from DAAP and graphic design, she knows her way around most mediums. When her books opened up, I was so excited to try to get on her schedule. When you're considering White Whale, please pay close attention to each artist's "rules" when it comes to proposals. The website has some great advise for this as well. Most of them only open their books every so often and vet each piece before committing. Annie's light hand was much appreciated because I'm a total WUSS when it comes to tattoos. I have several but I really don't enjoy getting them. Annie was so kind, understanding and encouraging the whole time. She held conversation really well and seemed to care about me and my piece! This is the first time I've had a tegederm bandage and I really like it!! It's so much easier that being taped and bandaged up. If you have sensitive skin, be sure to mention this. I bruised up a little bit but Annie quickly corresponded with me and made sure the bruise was a "normal" one and that my tattoo/arm was healthy! Go to White Whale. Get a killer tattoo. No regrets.

I can't speak highly enough of White Whale. My husband and I had a visit planned to Cincinnati for…read morea wedding, and thankfully we were able to get an appointment with Emily. White Whale artists book super fast, so we had to book months in advance when Emily's books finally opened. The shop itself is charmingly eccentric, and by far the most welcoming tattoo studio I've ever been to. Everyone there was personable and friendly, and Emily is the BEST. Not only does she create the most gorgeous artwork, but she's just a warm and radiant human. It was a joy to work with her and we were both so thrilled with what she created. If we still lived in Cincinnati, I think we would be frequent visitors. If you're looking to get a tattoo in the area - or if you're from out of town - White Whale is worth a visit!

After researching shops, I came across Designs by Dana and sent a message. Ryonen reached out to me within 24 hours and we discussed my request to replicate his paw print but I also wanted it to look "pixilated". She said she would be more than happy to work on this and we scheduled my appointment for after the New Year. The shop was clean, and Ryonen was very friendly and professional explaining every step and helped me decide where to place the tattoo. She was very patient when I asked her to slightly revise the initial pixilation of the template. I had a great experience with my first tattoo and am already thinking about what to do next as I will definitely be returning in the future for a second!

I did choose to upgrade to prettier jewelry (which was entirely my decision) and that added to the price, but obviously that is expected. After all that and a tip, I easily spent $70 for one piercing which is CRAZY. I also waited for a solid amount of time because they only had one piercer which was unfortunate but not a big deal. The actual piercing experience was great. The jewelry I was pierced with was impossible to get off on my own though. They charge $10 to do a jewelry change for you (which again, is ridiculous) so I went to another shop that did it for me for free!! Overall, the piercing I got was great, the prices are just crazy. They do have a really good selection of jewelry in store which I like. The pricing on jewelry is fair in my opinion.
