    Love the vibe of the shop. Love Samara and her art as well as her personality. She did my tattoo as a walk in and it was perfect. She provided the perfect home care and also easy tips for first timers. She was quick and fast with the design I told her I wanted and got to work right away. Front desk girls was great and friendly. - Payments are up front once you sign the agreement with the amount. There is $100 minimum for tattoo but I love mine and will deff. come back to get more in the very near futue! Con: I wouldn't go to the shop at night as there are several geoup of men standing in the parking lot and catcalling us as we walk in the shop at 7:30. Overall, love everything about the shop from the tattoos results, to the artist to the staff to the vibe. Would deff come back here again!

    Ring the bell for your first tat!!!! I'm just here for a nose ring replacement lol

    This place completely surprised me. Don't be fooled by the outside and location...this place is a hidden gem. So many people trust and go to this shop! It's accross the street from a great ice cream shop, so make it a 2 for 1!!! Nathan's dairy bar. I called about getting some help with my nose piercing I got a year ago. I wish I had known about the shop then because I actually ended up paying close to $200 to get my nose pierced and was convinced to get a very expensive stud. I called ahead and a friendly person answered and let me know to come on and do a walk in. The second you walk in someone checks you in and let you know where you can sit and wait until it's your turn. I was waiting amongst approximately 10 other people each either getting tattoos or piercings. Loyal clientele speaks VOLUMES! The place is spectacularly clean also and well lit. One of their piercing specialists called me in, his name is Ian! He was just fantastic and explained everything to me as he went along. He explained that the nose stud they used on me was mot meant to be used in nostrils and thicker than recommended. He made me feel validated in explaining that I just could not manage to take it out myself! He switched out the jewelry it so quickly and skillfully that I barely felt anything, he even installed my own ring that I had purchased from outside. Since I trusted him so much I had him check out another of my piercings and he was able to also change that out as it had become oxidized and was a health risk. Ian was fantastic, quick, knowledgeable, personable and even told me to come back if I never needed to change it again. He didn't charge for his services and just charged me for the one new ring. $25 dollar bill versus $200!!! The atmosphere is nice too versus rude and snobby. I had a great experience and will certainly come back for more tattoos or piercings here!! I Was told the tattoo minimum is $100 and from what I saw the work is very well done! Check them out on Instagram!!! They tag all thier artists :) and some specialize in certain styles that you may prefer.

    I'm the area visiting while my wife is working the RV show and I decided I needed a new tattoo. Did a little research on Yelp and found their IG page and saw that they did the gumball machine tattoos! I went in yesterday and they had walk in availability! The whole vibe of this place is CHILL. Super clean, super dope merch and very friendly staff. The receptionist was super friendly and she stayed busy the whole time i waited for my artist. My artist was G! (Check out his work on IG @koolgtatts) CHILL. DOPE. CLASSY AF. Had the best conversation. I love my tattoo so much I tried to see if he had availability today for another! For anyone contemplating the gumball machine tattoo. Do it! I always have to have a plan. To the point I over think things. Doing the gumball machine where my toughest choice was "why color would you like the flowers?" WAS AMAZING! Totally out of my comfort zone but I'm SO happy I did it!

    Paid $140 plus tip for this. Lines could've been touched up to be less crooked and it isn't even filled in completely. Way too much for the final product. Ladies at the front desk were very nice.

    Been here twice for my nostril and septum. Very nice employees. Don't know who did my piercings but one was a female and one was a male. Very fast, professional, and clean. Walked me through how to do the aftercare and prices are the best in nova. 10/10 will come back again. Thank you!!

    I got my tattoo done by jose, he was very professional, and is amazing at tattooing. I didn't hurt at all and it was my first tattoo .

    My first tattoo, at Exposed, by Luke Kimbrell. Design from Cowboy Bebop. In memoriam.

Lora is truly the best -- highly recommend. I used to have very low piercings and they looked terrible. I tried getting stacked piercings at Rowan, but the nurse (piercer) didn't really know what they were doing. My ears were poked multiple times, nothing was lined up, and it just looked off. Even though I paid a lot, I ended up taking them out. Then I went to Lora -- she immediately understood what I wanted, walked me through everything, and gave thoughtful recommendations. The result looks SO much better. I honestly wish I had found her earlier. Do not go to places that use piercing guns or devices -- they don't follow your markings properly. Go to Lora.

    I've been going to Patriots for around 8 years now and they have never disappointed me. The…read moreservices i've received are; lobe piercings, nostril piercing, industrial piercing, shin tattoo, inner forearm tattoo, hip bone tattoo, and a front thigh tattoo. In addition, Patriots is my first to recommend when someone mentions seeking tattoos or piercings. I have numerous friends who also have tattoos from this shop. Following given care instructions, I've had great healing experiences with my tattoos and piercings. I've been to various tattoo artists and piercers here, my personal favorite has been Mauricio, tattoo artist. Curt is the shop manager and he's great, friendly and always welcoming. I'll continue to seek services at this studio in the future!
