The Piercer was amazing and professional and clean. My son is not a fan of needles and of course this is right in front of his eyes. He closed them and did great til the end- and this is where the piercer shined. My son immediately afterward went white and clammy. Without any reaction but "you're fine, it's done, you were great, I'm here" encouragement, she sprang into action in the smoothest way possible- grabbed the trash bin, stepped to the faucet and got wet paper towels and applied the to his forehead, back of neck and lower back. All while being so kind and positive. (My son is know for getting sick after needles of any kind- even tho the procedure is over!). She was easy conversation, and just made the whole process smooth and efficient all while being cool as a cucumber!

When I went there we needed an ID and birth certificate and we forgot the certificate so we had to…read morego back home. Before we left we asked the piercer what time she closed and she said 7:30. It was 4:50 when we left to get the certificate, and we went home got the certificate then headed back. It was 5:25 when we got back and apparently she had closed up and gone home even after she knew we were headed back to get the piercing. The piercings themselves are well done, she was informative when I asked about the piercing and which type of jewelry I should use. As well, my sister has gotten her eyebrows done here and they were done well. This experience was just very inconveniencing as we had to go there, go back, then go there again. I would recommend this place if you go earlier in the day, so there is no chance of them closing up early.

I made a deal with my daughter that if we went and donated blood (at Nebraska Community Blood Bank!…read moreNot here!), then we could come here and get holes punched in our ears. So we did. I got a cartilage piercing and she got a flat. Lizzy was our piercer and she was great. I totally recommend her. It was $50 to have this done, unless you want to upgrade the jewelry. There were ample choices of the regular ones though so that wasn't a problem, I did not check prices at other places so I don't know if this is typical. They recommended coming in after a few weeks so they can resize the piece, after swelling goes down. There is no extra charge for this. Any future adjustments are free as well, even if you purchase the jewelry elsewhere.

I do not normally leave negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating from start to finish…read more We were told the wait would be approximately 20 minutes. After waiting 53 minutes in the lobby with no updates, we asked for an estimate and were told there were still "a couple more" people ahead of us. At no point did anyone proactively communicate that the wait would be significantly longer than promised. When we expressed our frustration, staff didn't ask if we wanted to remain on the list--they told us they would simply remove us from it. We chose to leave. The owner followed us outside and asked what he could do to make things right. A genuine attempt would have been offering immediate service, a discount, or a gift certificate for the nearly hour-long wait. Instead, when we explained why we were upset, his response was, "You've gotta work with me here," before walking away. Delays happen. Tattoo and piercing shops get busy. The issue wasn't the wait--it was the inaccurate estimate, lack of communication, dismissive attitude, and complete failure to take responsibility when given the opportunity to resolve the situation. I've spent plenty of time in tattoo and piercing studios and understand how the industry works. What I don't understand is treating potential customers as though their time has no value. Based on this experience alone, I would never recommend Big Brain to anyone.

Leon and Val are amazing individuals. They explain the entire process and put you at ease. Love how honest and straight forward they are, it's much appreciated since it's a hard trait to find nowadays. The only downfall is the wait time, we were there for a few hours. However, we stayed until after closing time and they were nice enough to offer us pizza (who doesn't like pizza?). Their pricing is also reasonable! Which is a bonus. I look forward to getting my future tattoos here :)

You're not only a customer there, the extraordinary staff - from owner to apprentices- truly make you feel like family. There's lots of fun and professionalism going on and I loved every minute of my tattoo session there - yes, even the painful ones. Great people to work with, great atmosphere, clean shop. Can't wait to go back - special credits to Charles who is not only incredibly talented but also very pleasant to work with :)

I appreciate that Shira was willing to give me different sizes, directions, and even placements to help make sure it's where I really wanted to have it (forever) before starting. The whole process was also great, she took the time to make sure that there weren't any gaps, missed spots, and everything was great. Also, big shout out to the WHOLE shop for being such a clean and inviting place!

This is my favorite tattoo shop! I've been to several and this has been the best experience so far…read more We had Shira tattoo her April flash designs, I got the flower and my husband got the monstera plant. The process goes: complete an interest form online, they call to chat and set you up an appointment time with your preferred artist, go in and pay the down payment (CASH ONLY), they fill you in on the day-of process, and you go for your appointment. They were super clear and communicative about the process for everything, and very kind the whole time. Shira was fabulous, she didn't rush us even when my husband couldn't decide on size or placement. She was thorough, her designs incredible, did a great job, and even consulted about a cover up I want done. We're looking forward to having her do future tattoos! The shop is so cool, I loved just walking around. They have tons of merch and other cool stuff, but another warning it's all cash-only. They have an ATM on site if you need one. Look on their Instagram page for parking guidance, there's a map of where you can and can't park around the shop.
