Not only was she the sweetest…read morepiercer I've ever met, she was professional, talked me through my piercing, was very thorough about making sure i was happy with the placement, and she works quick! The piercing was fairly painless, and honestly the pricing is what really sold me before i even walked in the door! I'm from Oregon and the cheapest i could find to get my lobes pierced was close to $100, which is absolutely absurd! I paid $60 (including tip) for my lobes with quality jewelry and an awesome piercer. I will definitely be back for another piercing from Mikayla! The whole vibe of this place is top notch, everyone is very welcoming and happy to see you when you walk in. So happy I found this place for my future piercings!

Unfortunately, our experience with the artist Thad was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. My husband has never gotten a tattoo before, and from the beginning there were issues with communication and professionalism. The tattoo stencil was made extremely large, which was never discussed with us beforehand. There was no conversation about sizing beyond the placement being around 3 inches across, the size of text was never discussed. I felt like the size was simply chosen for us without our input. When the stencil was placed, it also looked off-center to me. I spent a minute looking at it carefully, and instead of being understanding, Thad repeatedly insisted it was straight and told me that "if I have to stare that hard then I'm finding reasons to be mad at it," which felt dismissive and gaslighting. I then politely asked if the stencil could be repositioned, which is a completely reasonable request for something permanent. He responded very rudely and condescendingly with, "I'd rather not." I explained that we were paying a lot of money for this and that it was going to be on my husband permanently, and only then did he reluctantly agree. After repositioning it, it still looked slightly crooked to me. At that point, instead of trying to work with us professionally, he immediately said that if we didn't like it he would just refund the deposit. I then asked my husband if he liked it and was sure because I was trying to make sure he was happy with something permanent on his body. Instead of handling the situation professionally, Thad rudely and forcefully pushed giving our money back and ending the appointment altogether, which made the interaction feel hostile and uncomfortable. I've been tattooed by many artists in multiple states and have never once had an artist refuse to reposition a stencil or act inconvenienced by a client wanting placement adjusted. Even if he personally believed it was straight, the professional thing to do would have been to cooperate respectfully and help make the client comfortable. Again, the shop itself is gorgeous and the front desk woman was wonderful, but our experience with this artist was unnecessarily hostile, dismissive, and uncomfortable.

Was looking for tattoo removal in the Kansas City area, and of course saw numerous spas offering…read morethis - which is why it peaked my curiosity to see that a tattoo shop offered it. Came in, and Tony with his no-pressure attitude actually suggested that we tried to save it by having another tattoo artist glance over it. But after a few back and forth conversations, we decided it was best just to laser it and lighten up for a cover up, I may pursue down the road. While Tony does have numerous machines at his disposal, unfortunately he isn't able to remove greens/blue. But, this shouldn't matter since the average person's tattoo, that they are trying to remove is black - and not really a concern for me - as I plan to cover it up with saturated color. Being a veteran, him being methodical and precise - comes second nature to Tony. And being precise is something that is necessary when I'm only looking to laser a portion of my tattoo and not the entire thing. While you probably could get the same outcome at a local medical spa, why spend literally 5x the amount, when you can get the same results at Minus 1 Tattoo.
