Aaron and the artists do amazing work. The shop is clean, the work areas are private, and the vibe is always right. They have some amazing comics and books.

Large selection of latest release comics were on display and were easy to browse. Sorted by brand (Marvel, DC and Independent). The center of the store is full of graphic novels, the back edges and display case (at counter where you pay) is full of back issues dating back to Golden Age. Didn't investigate pricing too much, but on the surface it felt like they had reasonable pricing. Staff was friendly and interacted well with the customers. This is kind of out of the way for where I typically am, I would for sure pop back in if I was in the area.

I went into Wicked Ways on a Friday the 13th recently. I wanted to get a flash tattoo, but wasn't…read morereally 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.

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.
