Due to her (well deserved) popularity the appointment was a ways out but it was well worth it. She works so fast and efficiently and is a delight to chat with. I now have two tattoos by her with a ton more planned and scheduled. The shop itself is lovely and clean. The front desk staff is lovely, and the bathrooms are well stocked with hairties and menstrual products. All the carts have snacks ready to go for the light headed. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

She was able to fix my jewelry promptly and then said "no charge" when I was ready to leave. I said absolutely not. You need to take some money because it was your time and expertise that helped me. This company demonstrated a genuine willingness to help and had integrity. Please give them work.

What an amazing spot full of oddities! If you're into that show at all you MUST stop by this…read moreplace! Very convenient location on Route 5 in the heart of Wallingford. I was shocked I hadn't heard of the place when a friend and myself stopped by. I'm crazy about "Oddities" from A&E so the fact Wallingford now has their own oddity shop is great. The owner was a very polite guy patiently telling us about some of the items he had for sale. Things like genuine 4 leaf clover necklaces, interesting antiques, beautiful artwork. One that really stood out to me was a piece done completely out of butterfly wings. If you're into the creepy crawlies they have tons of spiders, scorpions encased in glass for necklaces. Rings too. They also have cricket lollipops! haha. Gemstones, books, CDs, tarantulas, action figures, vintage finds, artwork, tarot cards, taxidermy pieces the list goes on. You really just don't know what you'll find here when you stop by. I found it very inspiring the owner didn't take out any loans and has created his business on his own. Very humble interesting place to stop by where you can find that unforgettable unique gift. I can't wait to stop by again and pick up a little something I had my eye on. One of a kind shop. Don't miss this place.

As a student at a nearby university, myself and many of my friends have gone to CT Ink to get…read morepiercings with a wide range of results. My cartilage piercing was infected for about a year, but I am told this is pretty typical. However, as soon as I took their jewelry out and replaced it, I haven't had any problems. Likewise, they pierced it with a ring instead of a stud which can complicate the healing process. Some of my friends have had even worse experiences with their nose piercings or eyebrow piercings getting really infected. If you're just getting lobes done it's probably fine. TLDR: cheap and not worth it. Pay a little more money for higher quality jewelry and better technique.
