Music choice isn't what I'm familiar with but I'm loving it - low key rock with a chill vibe. Nice.

In my opinion, it just wasn't worth the price for something that small. If you're planning to get a bigger piece, though, I think you'll get much better value for your money. Jeff is very talented, he does a great job. :)

She waited till her college dance competition season had closed out. I accompanied her and she threw in a treat for me as her driver. I got a shiny new tragus piercing with a teeny shimmery stone. I was too excited. The receptionist comforted us. We had the jitters even though we are both pretty heavily pierced and tattooed. The piercer was calm and assesses each person individually and works to achieve their desired look. The place is large and each artist has their own defined space and the sound really doesn't travel.

Do the forms, pick your jewelry, pay, get pierced. Mike Moore was absolutely amazing with everything... he put my daughter at ease, talked her through every single step (I was allowed in the room with her during the piercing) and in general made this an exciting, memorable event. HIGHLY recommend and am thankful - Mike's empathy and compassion was clear and appreciated. Aftercare instructions were very clear and repeated several times, till he was sure she understood. I can't give 6 stars so 5 will have to do!

The piercing was booked with Ben on a Friday after the holiday at 3:30 when the place was jam packed with walk-ins. Somehow Ben and Al, who greeted us and helped us prior to our appt, were able to manage all of us and communicate along the way. They were awesome and their teamwork and service was top tier. They also both hyped me up about my stud and totally unprompted. My only regret is not booking another appt simultaneously when it was open LOL! Ben is by far the best piercer I've ever had. He also saved my sister fees by piercing her ear with a dull needle so she only had to pay for the jewelry. Overall I would recommend them to anyone! Worth the price and the wait. Looking forward to another appt when I'm in town again! Also very sterile vibes and Ben took time between appts to sterilize and change gloves even though I was with my sister.

(he was transitioning from ferndale to BFE) I feel a bit taken advantage of and I must leave an honest review after spending thousands of dollars. I would choose otherwise if I had it to do again. the reason why- absolutely no touch up offered and when I asked months later, he said no- it would just be another full day. What artist doesn't offer TOUCHUP? I want to throw up by the amount of money I spent vs marks lack of concern and professionalism. notice he will book you an EIGHT HOUR spot every session and if not just know he preyed on me as a young woman. I've had several tattoos and know that this one shouldn't have taken more than 2 sessions and that I shouldn't have paid what I did. take heed.

I would 100% recommend this shop to anyone who values beautiful and precise artistry…read more The artist, Sam, took my rough concept and turned it into a fully fleshed out work of wearable art and I am so unspeakably honored to be the person to have this tattoo. He was professional and clean and took his time with the little details such as placement. Being an illustrator myself, I tend to be quite picky about the permanent art that goes into my skin. Sam is not only a masterful tattooer but he understands the foundations of fine art that make the piece more than just a tattoo, but a work of art. Well done.

We were running 45 minutes late but decided to still go since they also take walk-ins. When we arrived we found out that due to the death of his best friend, Thomas wasn't in. However, the owner (Nemo) and another artist (Venus) agreed to take us with no hesitation. The prices were reasonable, the artists were knowledgeable and personable, the shop had a lot going on as far as décor so there was a teeny tiny "freak out" factor but it was also pretty damn cool stuff to look at, plus the building location kinda makes you feel like you're going into a secret location that few people know about. I don't know... it added to the vibe in my opinion. And most importantly, it was clean - they use all disposable tools which they opened up in front of us. In the end we both love our 'new' old tattoos, and would HIGHLY recommend this shop!!! One important note - they only take cash!

You're probably not going to get a walk in tattoo done here, but walk in to talk to or consult with an artist ahead of time to be sure. The shop itself is in a good location with a decent amount of parking, and inside it is inspiring. There are lots of plants and beautiful art. It is body-positive and woman-positive with more than one woman tattoo artist in residence. The tattoo work areas are separated with short walls and actual doors so privacy is controlled. It also allows each artist to have her own space full of the energy she wants. This part of the shop's design really adds to the experience of being worked on there. It allows the creative energy to bubble around without feeling intrusive or exposed while being worked on. It can also shift during a session - door open or closed. I have two fairly large, artist-original pieces done by Autum McCallister (Lethal Lady). Her work is magical! You can find it on Instagram or Facebook, or stop in to see her. She also does commission pieces (your design). Autum's eye for color, shape, and layout makes for truly gorgeous body art. When I have requested (small) changes to a design, she is thoughtful and takes her time to work through what will work well with the piece and fits with what I like. She'll also make some changes as she works and sees the piece come to life on your body. To top it off, she has a great sense of humor, and we have fun conversations with a lot of laughter. Though I haven't worked with any other artists at this shop, I have listened to them work and seen some of it. Stop in with your idea, and whoever you talk to will either be a good choice or tell you who the right person for your piece would be.
