I had an amazing experience getting tattooed by Kats. From start to finish the professionalism, attention to detail, and overall vibe were top tier. Kats really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and brought the design to life even better than I imagined. The line work is super clean, the shading is smooth, and you can tell a lot of pride goes into the craft. The shop environment was comfortable and everything was handled very professionally and hygienically. Throughout the session Kats made sure I was good and kept the process smooth. If you're looking for an artist who truly cares about their work and delivers high-quality tattoos, I highly recommend booking with Kats. I'm beyond happy with the result and will definitely be coming back for more work. read more

I decided to get an ear piercing out of pure impulse after work yesterday lol and had a 1000/ 10 experience. My piercer was Val and she is such a sweetheart! Such a vibe lol! Initially I wanted just a flat helix and my 3rd lobes but ended up getting a conch as well, all thanks to Val for making me feel comfortable. I was most scared for my conch but was literally a 0/10 on a pain scale. Val did amazing! Will definetely be going back to her for my other conch. Pricing was affordable too! Such a great experience! read more

The shop was such a vibe and very clean !! read more

IMMIEDATE NO‼ I PUT 1 STAR CAUSE IT DIDNT LET ME PUT 0. Especially from "SAD" or maybe known as "Steven", he has no knowledge of contrast & shading AT ALL. My friend who found him on instagram & made an appointment was not satisfied with her tattoo because even though he had a reference picture sent to him it looks nothing like the reference & he kept "taking breaks" a total of 7 times & kept getting up to go chat around with people inside. UNPROFESSIONAL & UNSATISFIED. PEOPLE JUST HANGING AROUND & BASICALLY A KICKBACK. read more

A few days ago I brought my family to get piercings. The overall experience was absolutely amazing. The shop was very clean and professional. The woman who pierced us was so knowledgeable and the best piercer I've been to by far. She was so patient and calming during the whole process. I trusted her to pierce me and my children and will definitely bring other people. Thank you Val!! read more

Robert is AMAZING!! Extremely clean lines and a deep understanding of tattoo placement on body. He had a wonderful bedside manner and was very clear and communicative with me the whole time. Such a great artist!! read more

Came to get my tragus and cartilage piercings with Eli & I love the way it came out! He was really nice & honest about which piercing to get. It's been 3 weeks so far and I didn't have any pain or complications during the healing process. Overall a great place I recommend to get your piercings!! read more

If I could leave NEGATIVE reviews I would. This location in specific has been the worst tattoo shop I've ever been to. I got my first tattoo at GREYSCALE TATTOO & had absolutely no problem! I only came to this studio to try a new tattoo artist recommended to me by a friend named LINO. He completely messed up my leg tattoo so horrible my scaring is noticeable. I would recommend going any other place but here! The owner apologized for that so I won't address the first mistake of their unreasonable, grimy, & dismissive employees. This is sadly the second and last mistake they will make with me. This young immature woman was very inconsistent, not communicative at all, dismissive, and just flat out disrespectful. I had let her know about 5 days prior to our appointment I was sick and would inform her if I got better but more than likely needed to reschedule. She then gave me a slight response asking me to let her know so she can book more appointments and still make money. I respectfully did so and CONFIRMED WITH HER A DAY PRIOR that I had NOT gotten any better. Yet I got ignored and later sent this very unreasonable text. Along with the fact of her assuming what I'm doing with my day based off my posts (WHICH IS CHILDISH) we are grown adults. I'm trying to rebook my tattoo appointment and she couldn't even come to ask if that was truly the way she felt? DISGUSTING!!!!! The way she works her business in and of itself along with the way she promotes this tattoo shop. The owner needs to really reevaluate the employees he has working for him. I don't understand how they could possibly conduct business this way. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE AT ALL!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY NOT JESSICA I'd also like show how disrespectful and dismissive the actual uptown_tattoo account themselves sent a message of an old photo, I posted trying to help them almost 12 weeks ago, it was sent it to me in a way to throw it in my face with no other comment. Didn't even bother to apologize, address the situation, or reimburse me and it's honestly disgusting. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING TO ANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, AVOID THE TATTOO SHOP ALL AROUND!!!! read more

Took my daughter last minute to get her navel pierced. Eli greeted us fast. He was very nice and professional. Lay out was nice and clean. Once he started, he explained every step to my daughter. And after showing her how to clean the area. Very fast, too. My daughter said only felt a pinch. Thank you so much, Eli . read more

Best piercer hands down!!! Entellect was fast and painless. I was nervous to do my nipples because the first time hurt so bad. This time it was so quick and painless. He talked to me and told me to breathe and it was done! 10/10 recommended! read more

Real shit, I love tattoos n the artist' who have a passion for it but I'm pretty disappointed in how half assed I got my first finger tat done by Carlos. I ain't trynna flame the shop they prolly got good artist but If homie knew he couldn't do it he shouldn't have even attempted it. I stayed completely still n I even felt sketched when he took a good 2 minutes to actually put the needle in my skin. Absolutely no effort out into the tat I got on Friday the 13th, which also wasn't discounted, his work was not worth $20 and if I didn't have respect for people I woulda just walked out. An $80 shit stain just for me to look up new cover up ideas for this joke of a tat. Here's Carlos insta tho Instagram: Carlos_alcarazz Please just think twice about getting tatted by him read more

I've gone to other piercers in the past but now I only go to Eli. I've gotten 7 piercings done by him and none of them have been crooked and all healed perfectly. He's very friendly and makes you feel at ease when getting a piercing. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place for piercings, the piercer is very knowledgeable and very quick with the piercings. i've had a few done by him already and they have been a1. the shop gives very much frat guy but they are always so nice and professional read more

I recently was pierced by Eli and was very nervous but he answered all of my concerns that I had and reassured me that I'd be okay long as I did the healing process properly. The vibe in the shop is always good and they make you feel comfortable soon as you walk in the shop! When you get pierced by Eli he also lets you know what size piecing you need when it's time for you to change the piercing to a new one! I wouldn't go to anyone else for a piercing besides Eli! Highly recommended! read more

I'm so happy on how my pierced has healed. I got it done with Eli as a walk in and he took very good care of me and my concerns. I'm not a big fan of puncturing holes in my skin but he addressed my concerns and made me feel very comfortable, he walked me through the process before hand and during the procedure. Just like that I had my piercing and walked out happy AF. I would definitely recommend Eli to any friend who wants to get a piercing done. read more

This review is for "Don Lino". I've had some work done by him a few times and he's always been attentive & professional. He always went above & beyond with making my ideas, reality.
