On top of the terrible quality, the worker spent the session complaining to me about how hard their job is (knowing I'm a nurse) and whining about people not tipping enough. If you're charging premium prices, you should provide premium work, not mediocre piercings and a sob story. Absolutely unprofessional. Avoid this shop.

The counter staff and piercer I saw were all absolutely fantastic--really kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. Fortunately, the piercer didn't see anything concerning about my piercing so I left with a fresh bottle of saline spray and instructions for saltwater soaks until my ear calmed down. I'm giving a five-star review based on the experience, but I'll warn that we had a looooooong wait. This place is clearly well-regarded and popular because I waited about an hour to be seen for my five-minute consultation. I fortunately didn't have anywhere else to be, but I'd HIGHLY recommend an appointment rather than a walk-in.

My mom and I wanted matching tattoos and we chose to check out Stay Gold. When we walked in the…read moreenvironment is welcoming. Beautiful floors, art work on the walls from all of the artists and giant comfy couches to wait on. We were instantly warmly greeted by the two artists working. Pablo came to speak with us about what we wanted. We sent him some pictures and he began working on the drawing. Once he was done we asked for adjustments and he happily sketched those out in front of us. He was kind and patient with us while we made sure it was exactly what we wanted. He worked with us on placement and even mirrored the tattoos because we got them on different arms. We watched him get his station set up with sterile products and the entire time he did our tattoos he was friendly and professional. We had a great experience. They came out amazing and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend this place if you're shopping around for a new tattoo spot. They're located by Ace and it's a hidden underground parking spot off of lomas. Go check them out. I will note that some artists only take cash, so get the details squared away before you get started. Thank you to Pablo for giving us exactly what we wanted.

First off, the space itself is absolutely stunning -- it truly feels like a work of art. The owner clearly put so much love and creativity into designing the studio, and their green thumb is on full display with vibrant plants from floor to ceiling. It's such a calming and welcoming atmosphere, which made the experience even better. The staff was amazing -- friendly, polite, and so professional. They explained everything clearly and made my son feel completely at ease throughout the process. The piercer was top-notch and did an incredible job. My son is beyond happy with his new septum piercing, and honestly, I was so impressed that I'm already planning to come back and get a piercing myself. If you're looking for a clean, professional, and beautifully unique studio, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love going into Evolution on Carlisle. Everyone there is so friendly and…read moreknowledgeable. They, even take the time to use your preferred name and pronouns. Plus they have created a really pleasant and relaxing space with the plants and water features. Allan is a wonderful human being and a great piercer. He chats with me and puts me at ease before piercing me, which always makes the process so much more pleasant. I also love that they offer aftercare products there so you don't have to run to the store. They have strict sanitation protocols so you can trust that your piercing will heal without infection or issue. It's usually super easy to get an appointment with your piercer of choice, or you can make one with the first available. The first time I came I made my appointment on a Friday for Sunday afternoon, quick and easy.

I thought it would be funny to have tattooed baby dolls who looked like the dad-to-be, so I commissioned the apprentice to draw tattoos on two dolls to be the centerpiece for the table. He ended up actually tattooing the dolls rather than drawing on them because it looked more realistic and had more detail. The tattooed babies were so well-done that the dad-to-be loved them more than any of the other gifts he received that day! I would highly recommend this studio. They are truly talented.

His work is art perfected and his talent is amazing. My first session with Danny was to cover up a 20+ years old tattoo that did not age well. Danny listened to me and came up with a design that still makes me smile. My second session was the "Leo" sign that represents my July birthday. I fave him the design that i had found and he softened it up and made it more feminine. I LOVE it! For my friend, he added the initials of her nieces to a design representing suicide. Her nieces had lost their mom, and her sister, to suicide a few years ago. It was her first tattoo but she is already contemplating a second. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do this. Danny is incredibly talented!
