Can't say enough good things. Bud Weeks is a amazing…read moreartist. Absolutely amazed by his professionalism and insight. I'm a small person but he made the placement and size work. Was also a walk-in so that's amazing to me. Just a grate guy with visible passion for his art and the thoughts and feelings of the customer. Just amazing

Unprofessional and egocentric, that's the only way I would describe the owner of this tattoo shop…read more(Guido). I was just there to accompany friends that wanted to get some ink. They had done some research, called the shop and were asked to stop by as they didn't do reservations over the phone. So in we went and immediately I could sense the cockiness on Guido. Again, since it wasn't me getting the tattoo, I sat down and kept that first impression to myself, allowing my friends to discuss the tattoos. All I could here was him saying how busy he was, and arguing on the design they had in mind, basically saying how he knows better than the customer. Sure, you have experience but the customer is paying and ultimately is the one wearing the tattoo permanently so how about you let them express themselves without cutting them off. By this time my annoyance was escalating and I just wanted to get out of there. Finally, as if doing my friends a favor, he agreed to an appointment that Sunday at 3pm. 3pm, sharp, we were there. There were people on the chairs, getting work done, and another one waiting. Hmmm, I thought they had agreed on a time a date but guess that didn't matter to them. They just asked us to come back in about 45 minutes because, and I quote "we got some walk-ins". How unprofessional to ignore an appointment, of not one but two people and act like is not a big deal. Trying to stay positive, my friends asked if they could at least see the sketches while they waited, the answer "no, I'm busy, come back later". If it wasn't for the $60 cash deposit they had to put down to "secure" the appointment, I think (and hope) my friends would have walked away and not gone back, but we killed some time and came back as we had been told. And guess what... there was someone new at the chair. Seriously?!!? Then said it would be another 15 - 20 minutes. When we said we were done and the tattoos will not happen, Guido just shrugged and said "oh, so I can work on these walk-ins then". No eye contact, no apology, no care at all. Horrible way to run a business! And they kept the $60... Shameful!

I was here for Thanksgiving break visiting my family when I discovered my previous tragus jewelry…read morehad fallen out! Embarrassed, I immediately sought out a replacement. I called Ikigai and spoke with Phil, who told me he had a wide variety of jewelry clean and ready for placement. I went in and he remembered not only our phone call, but my name as well! Ten minutes later, I had fresh, beautiful jewelry and I felt human again. Phil was kind, polite, and friendly. I cannot recommend Ikigai highly enough; I am thoroughly impressed! The shop is clean, organized and beautifully decorated. Please stop in!

Called in the morning to make an appointment for an ear piercing. Was told they take walk -ins…read more Arrive to a note on the door "be right back" Figured I'd wait since I already put an hour in the paid meter parking outside. I take the opportunity to walk around. Stopped in at the Los Poblanos Norte bar/mercantile, go in to Shrine/ Ex Voto and I bought a very nice gold diamond stud I figure will be a great piece for my new piercing. Go back to ikigai, it's now an hour later, no one is back. Bottom line, waited two hours and I see people entering the shop, I go to enter, and they inform me that they are closing early. So disappointed. They might as well close for good if that is the level of professionalism they can muster up. I will never go back there or recommend to anyone.
