    HORRIBLE COMMUNICATION, INCONSISTENT, & DISMISSIVE.
    Noelani Q.

    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!!!!

    My husband and I went in for some spur of the moment tattoos Everyone was welcoming and friendly. we got matching tattoos and then my husband ended up getting a second one pleasant experience!

    Navel piercing

    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 .

    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

    I've gone to Eli for multiple piercings. He has helped me reach the look I've been trying to achieve. He's helped me heal even the piercings that weren't done by him. I've never had any issues with any of my piercings done by him. He even pierced my toddler's ears and she did well thanks to his patience. He takes his time and explains the process. 10/10 recommend!

    Piercing done by Eli! Also,did my ears w/ him!!if ur lookin 4a dope piercing/sick ass tat by the most talented artist this is the placety!

    nose & ear piercings done by ELI!!,great experience, super friendly knowledgeable staff that help with anything you need, best tattoo artist in the game, tyy!!!

Every single tattoo artist there is incredibly talented. You can really tell they take pride in their work and care about bringing your vision to life. The detail, creativity, and precision they put into their tattoos is next level. A special shoutout to Maricela, the piercer -- she is AWESOME at her job!
