Went today with my adult daughter for tattoos with Troy. Tiffany, who greeted us, was so nice and friendly. Troy was incredibly genuine and his artistic custom work was spot on. He created tattoos that were EXACTLY what we imagined - taking the time to refine anything we asked and then was clean, polite, professional and his workmanship and craftsmanship was amazing! So in love with our new tattoos and the personalization that was done.. truly an artist. Will definitely recommend and be returning. read more

Went in today to book and get a quote. The girl at the desk acted annoyed even though she wasn't doing anything when I came in and I had a picture and a Web link to what I wanted ready. She then prints it out about 5x the size I wanted , told me not to put it on my ankle and then said it was $250!!!! I left and went to x body art in Swansea $90 left happy and tipped $25 read more

I got my second holes pierced here with Cory! He's very nice, makes sure you're comfortable, and explains every step of the process. He also makes sure you know how to take care of the piercing afterwards (cleaning process). Awesome adherence to COVID-19 policies: I got my temperature checked and saw Cory wipe the chair down when I was done. Piercing was quick easy and virtually pain free. Although my total was a little more than expected (110) I know that I got what I paid for (titanium earrings and a safe environment). Overall would 10/10 recommend! read more

They place was clean and nice. I went for my 18th birthday to get my belly button pierced.. They guy was a little rude, I was trying to just have a conversation to calm my nerves but he wouldn't even respond. He also did not use the "clamps" to pierce.. most people say, it's worse not to use them. Due to him not using clamps, the piercing is slightly crooked.. price was reasonable read more

I absolutely love this shop. Jon at the front desk is very nice and helpful with scheduling appointments. I had to reschedule a few times and Jon was very understanding and the shop was very accommodating to my crazy schedule. I have been tattooed by Troy and Steve. I cannot express enough how much I love my tattoos. I get stopped daily by people complimenting my tattoos. Both Troy and Steve were very professional and amazing. I highly recommend this shop I know I will never get tattooed anywhere else. read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else . Awesome group of artists.... Always have fun and come out with a great tattoo ;)

My girlfriend and I had our tattoos done by Troy. The entire experience was fantastic! All of the employees were friendly, knowledgeable and honest (I overheard several piercing clients ask for advice and the staff gave real opinions based on the specific customer, showing they are not just trying to make a buck). The atmosphere was perfect; very relaxing and very sanitary. We spent an entire Saturday there (6 hours) and it was time well spent. The results were amazing! I brought a wood carving that my dad had done and Troy replicated it exactly. He knew how special it was to me (my dad passed 21 years ago) and he put aside any artist mentality of trying to "make it his own" and he gave me the most perfect tattoo I could have ever asked for. My girlfriend went in with a picture for a half sleeve. Troy did this free hand! He made some recommendations once he started drawing and the end result was so much better than the drawing we brought in. It's pretty safe to say this is our new tattoo place. We won't go anywhere else. read more

Mixed review. The shop has a great atmosphere and is very clean which is important to me. The prices are reasonable. My friend and I both went in for tattoos. I like mine but it's a small, simple black design with nothing intricate...but the blossom on the small flower looks like a black blob. That does not make me happy. My friend's tattoo was bigger, more intricate and colored. His line work was good, and while the shading in the flowers was well done, it was totally the wrong color. She asked for purple and got red...really red. The vine work was different color greens but not blended and shaded well at all...just color blocks. She is very sad about hers. Lesson here...double check that everyone is clear about the color before indelibly marking your body. read more

A few days ago, i went and had my nose pierced and was very impressed by Dark Star Tattoo. Immediately when walking into the place it has a great look, going along with the tattoo parlor image and very clean. When walking in i was immediately greeted, and advised what i was there for. The woman who pierced my nose was great, i wish i remembered her name but very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I was there with a friend and we even had a couple of good laughs with her. Just very personable and kind. It turns out she was also a nurse, and I think for people that may be scared of getting pierced it might help soothe their fears. After this experience i definitely recommend them for piercing and I'm sure are great at tattoos. I plan on visiting them next time i have the urge for one. read more

This place is great and Cory is 150% amazing! Awesome guy and an awesome artist! The downfall, the idiots who work the front desk. The first time I went in to make an appointment everyone was super friendly and very helpful. I talked to them about what I wanted, got some new ideas, made my appointment, and left. About a week before my appointment I emailed Dark Star a picture of what I wanted so that Cory could draw up something and be ready when I went to get it, like I was told I could do. The day of my appointment came, I got there 15 minutes early, filled out the paperwork, and waited to see what Cory came up with. He came out and showed me his drawing, it was great...but not at all what I wanted. The style was totally different than the picture I had sent and it was clear that he never saw my email. I told him about the email, he asked the kid at the desk if he had gotten it and the kid said, "I don't know, I don't really check the emails." Ummm..WHAT?! Why does this company have an email address if no one is checking it? And WHY was I encouraged to send a picture via email if it was never going to be seen?! The front desk kid checked the email, found mine, and printed the picture for him. Cory told me it would be about 15 more minutes, he was going to draw up something that was more like the picture I had sent. While he was in the back I heard the morons at the front desk whispering to each other about how I should have called after sending the email to let them know I sent one and how it wasn't their fault that Cory was clearly annoyed. UM WHAT? It's the year 2012...I am not calling to let anyone know I sent an email. I email people all day at work, and no, I do not call each individual to "let them know" I sent them an email. If your company has a GD email address..THEN CHECK IT. THAT IS YOUR JOB. I have worked front desk jobs before and I have learned ALWAYS CHECK THE EMAIL. Every.Single.Day. Multiple times a day! Okay, enough of that...Cory came back out had a drawing that was totally perfect. It looked like the picture I sent and I could tell he definitely had some of his own style in there too. Great! He let me know the spot I wanted it in was not going to work out great so I started to get really nervous because I did not want it anywhere else. He worked with me and was very patient and we figured out perfect placement! I would give Dark Star 5 stars if it weren't for the front-desk-idiots. But, hey, they're nice people regardless. I definitely recommend this place and I definitely recommend Cory! Although, I am sure all of the artists are wonderful! ...just call if you send an email..ugh.. read more

I got my tongue pierced at dark star and after a week it was becoming irritated due to the length of the initial bar so I called to see how soon I could have it changed. I was told one week so I went right on in. Upon my arrival I was told I should wait two weeks and given a fairly reasonable sounding explanation. However when I came back after two weeks I was told I should wait four weeks. So basically these guys don't really have their shit together. Finally after receiving attitude from a few memebers of the staff for their mistakes my barbell was changed to something smaller something TOO small. which caused lots of irritation. What pissed me off most though and what is defiantly the most appalling to me is that when I went to a different piercer to have the bar bell changed since I was already mad enough at what happened happened I was informed that they pierced threw a vain in my tongue which was not allowing me to heal properly and caused a minor infection that thankfully I caught early. and I'm not some moron who doesn't know how to properly care for my body mods. I have ten other piercings these include my belly button and nipples and I also have numerous tattoos and never in my life had I had a problem with something getting infected. I would also like to add after seeing someone else's review about how it made them comfortable to be pierced by a nurse, that nurse is who did the hack job on my tongue so keep that in mind read more
