I got my navel pierced by Jennisys and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My anatomy was checked to make sure that my new piercing would work well, all parts to the experience were explained in detail and I felt extremely comfortable and cared for the entire time. Jennisys was very gentle and very detailed to make sure my new piercing would be just right for me. Very thorough details on how to care for it at home and I like that a follow up is scheduled to check on healing in a few weeks. Everyone at the shop was very friendly & welcoming. The shop is beautifully decorated and super clean. Easy to see that everyone there cares about keeping things safe & sterile. Will absolutely be going back to see Jennisys for more piercings in the future! Cannot recommend enough!! read more

I've had a tattoo in mind but was not sure how i wanted it done, spoke with artist Cav Asker and he knocked it out of the park. I went in with half of an idea and Cav fleshed it out. I really love it and will gladly send any of my friends to the shop. read more

Nikole has brought to life the most beautiful art pieces to complete my half sleeve. Everyone at Arch Nemesis is extremely nice and welcoming. I highly recommend getting your next piece of ink here. The vibe of the business is extremely cool as well. Thank you Nikole and the Arch Nemesis team! read more

I've had a few tattoos done here and the gal who did my tattoos was awesome. I recently we back and she didn't work there anymore so I scheduled with someone else. I paid my deposit and scheduled my appointment. I couldn't get the day off work so I sent a message to see if I could reschedule. It was a week out and the artist replied that " I was take food from the mouths of children." She can keep my deposit. I'm not about to let someone that rude even begin to tattoo me. You can feel the negative energy in there. No thank you! read more

I love the atmosphere & the staff! They do great needle work and come up with amazing ideas when given some creative freedom. read more

Piercing here? Don't do it. I wanted to love this place. I love their aesthetic and I enjoyed the staff. But, after getting my nose pierced and having a major disruption in that area within the first few weeksI had to seek out another opinion and found out that my nose was pierced in the wrong spot and at an angle which produced a keloid on my nose. The dreaded nose bump. I found out the piercer needed to pierce the nose further back behind the bridge of that nostril. This may be a permanent scar on my face and a permanent bump. I had to abandon the piercing altogether and I'm currently trying to let it heal to be able to get it redone if possible. The very thing I didn't want to happen, happened. I'm so disappointed. read more

I went in with a request to brighten up a 20-year-old tattoo and add some detail. I told the artist Manda. The only thing I wish I could change is the shading around the first tattoo. I had never been a big fan. I asked for two dragonflies to partially cover up this feature. She was confident that she could do what I asked and I was excited about her planned design. Her next appointment wasn't for two months, so I paid the deposit and came back then. The tattoo was on my upper right shoulder, so she began to work, and when she stopped to take a break, I looked down and noticed a considerable amount of black ink on my shoulder. I looked at her and said is that permanent and she said yes, that's what you wanted. I couldn't believe what I saw and went outside to take a few breaths. I returned and said I did not want to go any further. I got my stuff and tried to leave, and she became hostile along with the rest of the staff and threatened to call the police. They said I had to pay money since she had worked on me. Even though what she did permanently damaged my body. I would not pay so they called the owner. I waited for the owner to come; her name was Nikole. I told her I didn't feel comfortable with Manda or anyone else there after the incident; she said if Amanda didn't work it out, she would take care of it. She seemed to understand and offered to make it right but did say I needed to pay for her artist time spent. I felt she was genuine and would take care of the issue from this point. She said to wait for the tattoo to heal and then make a plan with Amanda and if she couldn't come up with anything that she would take care of me. After two calls, the tattoo artist said the owner would take care of the mistake from there because she was not able to. She never even gave me a new design. Then the owner emailed me and asked me to give her time to review information and pictures. I did. Nikole happened to respond during the week my grandma died. I could not respond and didn't check emails for about a week. She then emailed me within that time frame, saying she now assumed I didn't want to proceed and stopped communication. I emailed her and said I had lost my grandma and wanted to move forward with correction. I waited two weeks with no response. So I filed a complaint with BBB and the attorney general. That's when she finally called me. She said she was not liable because the tattoo artist was an independent contractor and she no longer works there. In other words she thinks she is not responsible and she is no longer holding to her word.(verbal contract) Beware of the next person allowed to work there. There is no standard of work or code of ethics at this shop from what I have experienced. Nonetheless, this matter will be going to court. In summary this business allows a tattoo artist to make a mistake and does not take responsibility for the issue. Makes the customer feel like a criminal and then drops the ball on a promise to correct. I waited almost two months before writing this or filing a complaint. Hoping this women owned and ran business would ring true to the standards us women live by. Unfortunately it was one of the worst experiences I have had as a consumer. Lastly, I had a friend with me the whole time who witnessed the consult and the mistake. ***The first picture shows a tattoo consult, and the second is what is permanently on my body. read more

I got pierced at Arch Nemesis in April. All the staff was super welcoming and nice! Bri walked me through the entire jewelry selection, piercing, and healing process. I came back in a few weeks later to get my posts changed so they fit a bit better. I had a great experience here and would 100% recommend to others!! read more

The owner is very unwelcoming and does not provide a good environment for tattoo work.

Poor quality and overpriced earrings. Make sure they explain how their microscopic 18k earrings come apart in 3 different areas and how it's "normal" if it comes apart in your ear and are having infections every week BEFORE you pay the hundreds of dollars . I was told to come in after calling about it, drove an hour to this location and it was a complete waste of a trip :( Unprofessional overall, smells like weed inside and outside. I get it's probably apart of the vibe, let it be a warning on what you can expect from this place. Was expecting a bit better, really wanted to like it. read more

there was beautiful decor around the place, great music, and beautiful tattoos and piercings! here are pictures... read more

I cannot say enough fantastic things about Arch Nemesis! I had my first tattooing session with Nikole a week ago, and the entire experience, from beginning to end, has been nothing short of amazing. She has been so thorough with listening to my ideas, taking time to thoughtfully draw out the design(s), and meeting with me to ensure that I am happy with the art going on my body. Nikole, along with the entire staff, have always made me feel so welcome and well-taken care of in the shop from the moment I walk in. It is very clean and well-organized, and they are sure to use the best products to care for their customers. I have been to a lot of tattoo shops, and I can easily say that this is the one in St. Louis that I will be frequenting from here on out!! read more

If I could give this place a zero start i would they were rude, unsanitary and very unprofessional. I made an appointment at 5pm -5:30pm in advance arrived on time and kept asking when I would be seen since I didn't get seen until 6pm when they admitted they forgot about me after I kept asking after I wasn't seen at 5:15pm the owner ended up messaging me they didn't use an alcohol wipe or sanitize anything they put near my nose and i got a TRAGUS PIERCING IN MY NOSE THAT IS TOO LONG and is pushing against my septum which can cause damage I've shown so many people and they all agree with me I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE read more

I haven't had anything done here, but I will be. I came in 30 minutes before close to just ask a few questions about dermals after already going to 4 other piercing shops that "didn't have the time" and were SO SO SO rude. These ladies were a literal breath of fresh air. The shop looks so clean and nice, has a great vibe. The owner was more than happy to SMILE and answer any questions and even offered to order me jewelry since I didn't see any I liked in the shop. I can't wait to get my future piercings done here. Thank you so much ladies for being so nice, it's hard to find that in STL :) read more
