Worst experience ever. Their over-priced jewelry and undesirable customer service just made me not want to return there ever again. As soon as I walked back there the first thing he said was it will be $30. He didn't ask what kind of jewelry I wanted or anything. I had to ask him. The guy that was replacing my jewelry was very aggressive putting it in, and squeezing my nose til where I couldn't breathe. He was trembling while doing it and no one as ever done that either. I have never had an experience like that with anyone replacing my jewelry, never! It was the most uncomfortable experience for me I didn't know what to do or say. I should've just left once he started out with the price because I've never paid that much for a basic piece of silver septum jewelry. Then had the audacity to have a gun in his pocket while servicing. Like please sir. read more

Insulting, unprofessional, untalented, and arrogant owner and staff. They have continuously lashed out at staff and community members personally and continues to back up all of those insults while also continuously making excuses for their HORRIBLE "customer service" I've been here once for a tattoo, that I received almost an hour after I got there (no one was busy, they just decided to go outside to chain smoke and fuck around like I wasn't there) and I never went back. This shop thinks they're the greatest thing on the planet, and they're going to just go under like everything else in 5 points. Whatever you do DO NOT waste your time with this sorry excuse of a "business". read more

See all

I went into Wicked Ways on a Friday the 13th recently. I wanted to get a flash tattoo, but wasn't really in love with any of the designs. The reason this is four stars instead of five is because all of their Friday the 13th tattoo specials were characters from The Simpsons. It's a cute idea, and original, but I kind of just wanted to get a black cat or something more "spooky" than Bart Simpson. Had more traditional options been available, I would've given them five stars. When I didn't see a flash design I wanted, I decided to go ahead and get another small tattoo I had been wanting for a while. I got the Deathly Hallows symbol from Harry Potter. If you're unfamiliar, the symbol is a triangle with a circle and a line going through it. It's all very straight lines, perfect circle, that sort of thing. I was concerned about getting it from a tattoo shop I had never visited or heard anything about but as a very impulsive tattoo addict, when I've set my mind on getting a tattoo I'm getting one. I spoke with Jay who ended up being my artist. The tattoo is on the inside of my hip, to the left of my right hip bone and right at the pants waistline. It was fairly painful as a result of the placement, but that was expected. Jay was very sweet through the whole thing. When I looked at the tattoo in the mirror, I noticed a line that was slightly wobbly. I pointed it out and Jay fixed it without being rude or acting irritated like a lot of artists seem to do. The tattoo is wonderful and healed perfectly. It wasn't a part of the $31 special they were having for Friday the 13th as it wasn't on the flash sheet, but it wasn't expensive at all. The lines are well done, the circle is as close to perfect as it could be, and Jay made the whole experience incredibly pleasant. The location is also incredibly convenient to me. I will definitely be back to Wicked Ways, and would recommend Jay highly. read more

Unprofessional and extremely rude. I complained and they called me all types of names instead of trying to rectify the situation they called me the n word and made excuses for their bad behavior. read more

Horrible customer service! Totally trashed a customer on a Facebook review and then removed his Facebook page because he couldn't handle the negative feedback. read more

I'm not one to usually do things like this, but if you are in the market for a tattoo or piercing I would highly recommend NOT going to Wicked Ways Tattoo. As far as the quality of their work, I've seen a few that look ok and you might get lucky and come out happy. As far as their customer service and professionalism, they lack any of either! The artist "Randy" lost all my respect for the entire staff by attacking and insulting innocent children on their Facebook page because he couldn't handle a negative review. I completely understand wanting to stand up for yourself and your business...but their is a right and wrong way of going about that. This man is threatening to post pictures of children as young as 2 months old to child porn sites all over their dad posting an honest, negative review. I can tolerate most things, but insulting innocent children and potentially putting them in harms way all because your feelings got hurt over a bad review is not ok and never will be. I sure hope this GROWN man learns to respect others and take some criticism with grace. Karma's a bitch Randy. Now, if you are in the market for some new ink I HIGHLY recommend Bryan at SkinWorx. He did my side recently and was quick, professional, friendly, and very attentive to all my requests and concerns. He also guarantees his work for life so if you are unhappy or just need some touch ups he will gladly work you in ASAP! As far as piercings go, Tattoo Expressions has done a few for me that were great. They were quick, professional, and ensured I left completely satisfied. I could never imagine anybody from either of these business ever conducting themselves in this manner, especially on the public business page! read more

The owner called me trash because I left a negative review on their Facebook. I will not ever be going back.

Nice staff. Clean and very professional. No appointment necessary really means you can walk in and receive good service. Very pleased with the entire experience and the finished tat! read more

These guys suck so much ass honestly. They draw you something up and it ends up COMPLETELY different on your body. Then you're stuck with it forever. I got it two days ago and I already have someone who's gonna cover it up :) edit: I got It covered and It covered just fine but they said It looked like it had been done by a 5 year old lol read more

My older sister and mother went in to get a matching tattoo yesterday. I can honestly say they were laid back and great artists. I've never got a tattoo but I've been to a couple shops before and this was the best thus far. Absolutely amazing tattoos they have and it tatted very nicely. They also aren't as high as other shops. They'll be back very soon. read more

Everyone says the same thing about this guy randy . And it is very very true . He is very rude and lack customer service skills. He likes to agrue with his customers thru text or on Facebook . Instead of trying to resolve the issues in a professional manner. And that's not right .He doesn't take ownership for what happens in his shop at all and likes to throw his employess under the bus if something is not right . Randy u are the shop owner and you are responsible for your staff, their training , their behaviors , and their clients. I have never seen a business owner that curses out his clients. There is something that you really need to think about. You don't get paid by the hour sir u get paid by the tattoos. And the name of your shop truly fits u. Because u are very wicked man with no respect for your clients. And I truly feel sorry for your employees. Sincerely a unhappy customer. read more

LOVE this shop. It's the only shop my husband and I use to get our art! Reasonable prices for phenomenal work. Ryan Taylor is amazing and he does great work with precision, Jay has a very light hand and creative designs and has great line work. These people are truly professionals and love what they do. I wouldn't go anywhere else. HIGHLY recommended over every other shop in Birmingham. Don't go anywhere else. read more

Had a very good experience at this shop. Joe was absolutely professional, courteous, and did a damned good job. Much better experience than at Revolution Ink. read more

I've been getting tattoos and visiting tattoo shops for over 15 years and I've never had better customer service than I received during my first visit to Wicked Ways. From the moment I opened their door I was greeted with genuine kindness and respect even without an appointment or phone call. I've waited longer to even be acknowledged than the entire time it took me to be in & out and completely satisfied. I am truly impressed and would highly recommend Wicked Ways to anyone wanting tattoos or piercings without the hassle of feeling awkward and often unwelcome like I've felt many times before. read more

Do not go to this place. Horrible customer service. Wouldn't go there if they are the last shop in town
