Nikki is a very talented artist and there is no doubt she's very popular. Her booking is insanely unorganized, and difficult to say the least. However, she's the Ash Fortis of the tattoo world. What does that mean? She is so damn high on her horse that she thinks she can speak to anyone however she pleases, and fakes a persona that she's a great person. I started my tattoo journey in Nov. 2019 due to Covid the shop shut down, and when it reopened Nikki due to her autoimmune disease was taking certain clients. Clients with UNFINISHED tattoos would need to wait for when she felt like it was safe. As someone who is also chronically ill I completely understood that. For over a year I waited for the phone call, and I emailed her TWICE to just check in... obviously I've given her over $500 and my tattoo is unfinished. She kept posting other new clients with tattoos in very similar places I had mine, why wouldn't I email her to check in? Finally she emailed me back, allowing me to come in and finally finish my tattoo in 2021. I explained over the phone I wanted to change a small piece of it because I wanted to get a half sleeve from her. She told me to bring in my idea to my appointment that it wasn't an issue. She agreed to my idea and told me to come back in May, when her books opened and she would get me in. However, when I emailed her, she completely dumped me as a client because she felt pressured to finish my tattoo... She claimed outrageous things like I was chronically calling the shop, and commenting on her IG. First of all... the shop phone the last 2 times I called were out of service, and I never commented on her IG like she claims. Why wouldn't I check in on the status of when I could finish my tattoo when she NEVER checked in with me? Its crazy she felt comfortable taking $500 and having a completely unfinished tattoo out there. Nikki demands people to respect her chronic illness/mood swings but doesn't have a ounce of respect for her clients. It's disappointing how Nikki turned out and I have a tattoo to remind me of how grossly mistreated I was. Below is all the messages between us..

Shop

I went in for a tattoo to celebrate senior beach week as well as show my love for the ocean. I drew up a sketch before I left home and went in as a walk-in. The artists were all so friendly and I loved the energy and environment in the shop. My artist worked with me and made sure I liked everything before it was done. I felt super calm and not anxious which is rare 1) with my anxiety and 2) it being my first tattoo. They were all so respectful and were great to talk to. I STRONGLY recommend this tattoo shop to anyone, I wish I lived here so I could get more work by them :)

I booked an appointment with Nikki Snyder (now Nikki Héri) a few months prior, and it was so worth the wait!

I had a really great experience here (the Janaf location). And I interacted with a lot more staff…read morethan maybe a normal person would. I emailed, phoned, and went to the shop twice throughout my whole piercing process from booking to replacement post after my swelling went down. I got a fast response from my email and was treated kindly at every interaction. I got a side labret piercing, and I'm a good bit older than most of their clientele, so I called to make an appointment (I live far away) and to request Kimberly be my piercer, since she's the master piercer and 20-year-old skin is not the same as 50-year-old skin. I was REALLY nervous at my piercing appt, so I forgot all the questions I wanted to ask. But at my 8 weeks post-piercing, I went back to the shop to get a shorter post put in, and Laycie helped me, and she was the absolute sweetest. If you've been pierced there, they'll put in your jewelry for free, so I only had to pay 20 bucks for the new, shorter post. Despite the fact that this was not exactly a big money-making appointment for Laycie, she patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions that I had forgotten to ask before. I'll be back when I'm ready for my hoop! :) P.S. They have a HUGE selection of jewelry here! Highly recommend even if you just want new bling!

I went to get a face dermal piercing and it went great, they were all so nice and welcoming. It was…read morea quick and easy piercing besides the minimal pain but it was tolerable.

AMAZING STAFF! And such a wonderful environment! My experience was beyond fantastic! Malcolm…read morere-pierced my nipples and blew me away by his professionalism. He didn't do anything without making sure he had my consent and talked through the entire process with me. He is also a phenomenal person to have conversations with! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Im Just Saiyan and I will DEFINITELY be back for any future piercings! THANK YOU MALCOLM!!!

(TLDR: scroll to the bottom if you want to see my pricing breakdown)…read more I scheduled an appointment (2/25/26) for my birthday after walking in two days prior to view the jewelry selection. All staff members throughout my time there (both days) were INCREDIBLY helpful and informative, as I had a lot of niche questions with getting my cartilage pierced and working as an EMT! I came in early (30 minutes) to my appointment to discuss questions and worked with Rennie (instagram: @rennieandsharp) and she was THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER‼ Not only did she easily answer any questions I had about anatomy, healing, and future piercing options, but she also helped me pick out the perfect jewelry and did not rush me when seeing which options worked best for my lifestyle! I didn't feel pressure to choose jewelry she initially recommended even though I originally wanted something different, but I ended up going with what she recommended anyways because girl is an expert at her craft! Renee and another piercer even helped me evaluate my anatomy for a navel piercing after 3 larposcopies and while the answer was that "it wouldn't be advisable", I was not let down at all, because both Renee and this other employee made sure that it was with the intention of putting my health first, which can be hard because many piercing shops will do whatever piercing just for it to reject, having you in and out, this place genuinely cares about your health and the longevity of your piercings! Moreover, the thing that blew me away was that half way through my appointment I found out Rennie WAS AN APPRENTICE?! (Not a bad thing) I was genuinely so shocked to find out she hadn't been in the business for years because she was so helpful. I fully trusted her to do my piercings and she did an amazing job, I got my double conch done with smaller pieces of jewelry and even though she said my ear might swell, and it could be risky having them done so close, she trusted my judgement as well and gave me all the information I needed to make sure nothing bad happened!!! she did such a good job that they haven't swelled at all yet, even the same day, and it's been a week! The process was also completely painless for me, she was so patient and kind, making sure I was comfortable which made my experience worth everything and 100% easier! She also mapped my ears out for future piercings just for fun! While I am moving away from VB in may, I ultimately see myself road-tripping just to have Renee as my piercer, she truly has an amazing career ahead of her and the treatment at this location is unmatched. Not to mention the brand of jewelry that they carry is incredibly reputable and well known, ALL HAD FLATBACKS (hard to find at some piercing shops usually only a few pieces), doesn't feel cheap or tacky, and is incredible quality for the price! PRICE BREAKDOWN: You cannot beat the prices of I'm Just Saiyan, as it is a $25 service fee that includes pretty much any piercings you get at that appointment (with obvious exclusions of genitalia etc.) For two freckled flat back studs each was about $30 I believe, so not bad at all, making my total price $85 but I tipped 20% so it was about $100 total for both, super worth it and again, you can't beat the quality here, I would recommend this location over every other place in the 757!

I decided that I wanted to get a naval piercing and called around to a few different tattoo places…read morein the area for availability and pricing. I called Ocean Mystique and the lady was very nice, gave me the price of the tattoo, which was $35 for basic jewelry, but at the time I called, the piercer wasn't there. She did mention that he should be in some time in the early evening so I was a little disappointed but once I did call back around 5-6pm, he had made it to the shop. As soon as we walked in, they were was a rope at the front door not allowing us to continue in the shop until we had our temperature checked and sanitized our hands. I appreciated the extra level of care to ensure we weren't feverish or experiencing any virus symptoms. I really liked how clean the tattoo shop was, I was very impressed. The piercer went over the piercing guidelines and after care and was all set up for me in the matter of minutes. Once I was in the room, I did ask him if he minded me taking pictures or recording and he did so I respected that and did not record or take any pics of me getting pierced. The naval piercing was over in less than 2 mins. He made it quick, easy and fairly painless. I chose this place because they provided the cheapest naval piercings in the area and I'm glad I did. *Just FYI, if you "Check In" to this place on Yelp, a $10 off coupon might pop up but they set up that coupon a while ago and it's not valid anymore. I actually checked in on Yelp after I paid, alerted them of the coupon and they mentioned they were going to remove it.

Great service every time, and easy to set up an appointment. I've had my entire elbow to wrist done…read morehere and it's been a great experience with reasonable prices. Ask for Najee if you can, he does amazing work!
