My cousin and her husband both got tattoos at this shop, and unfortunately it was one of the worst…read moretattoo experiences we've ever seen. The line work was shaky, uneven, and not straight. The shading was poorly done, went outside the lines, and lacked proper detail. Areas that were not supposed to be filled in were shaded, while important details were completely missed. During the tattoo, my cousin pointed out several mistakes and missing details. The artist responded by saying, "That's not my fault, what do you want me to do about it? As far as I'm concerned, it's done." When she returned for touch-ups and again showed the issues, he blamed their printer and stated it wasn't his problem. He ultimately refused to do any touch-ups at all. Another red flag was being required to pay before the tattoo was done, which we've never experienced at any reputable shop. My cousin paid $350 for a Jack and Sally tattoo, and her husband paid $400 for his. Given the quality of work and the unprofessional attitude, the prices were completely unjustified. I would give zero stars if that were an option. Please save your time and money and go somewhere else where artists stand behind their work, treat clients with respect, and deliver quality tattoos. What was promised versus what was delivered was drastically different.

They still have not let go said employee who has publicly humiliated the client saying their piercings were "disgusting", when said client never even got their piercings there. They made up stories and publicly lied, shaming another person. The unprofessionalism of the store owners is the most outrageous part of this which is why I cannot in good faith recommend this tattoo & piercing shop. Please do better, its 2026.

Halcyon tattoo studio is a tattoo STUDIO. Not just some shop. They give good tattoos and would not like to be a copy machine of a tattooer unless specifically asked and if a tattoo from online will not translate to skin well, they will be honest BUT most likely will go about tweaking the tattoo to make it 10x better than you can imagine. I've been seeing everyone at Halcyon for a very long time and have never gotten a bad piece of art from any one there.

I felt like I was in great hands here! The only option for piercing jewelery is a gold or silver diamond post--if you want something else you'll have to go somewhere else! The needle was coated in CBD and did not hurts at all. Just sore afterwards and tender to the touch, to be expected, though. Overall, everyone was very nice and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that it was a little difficult to make an appointment.
