    Before (ex sign)

    I was looking for a shop who can do a touch up and some of local shops I wasn't feeling it until one day a random guy came up to me and gave me a card to check out a new shop. I took a chance and went in person for a random consultation, and I loved what they were telling me and saw some artwork. Next thing I had an appointment ready to go. Bye bye to my ex horoscope sign for good.

    I feel safe and at peace in this space. This shop is veteran owned and because of this, this shop has strong principles and values that makes it what it is. It's not just a tattoo or piercing, it is an experience. Come try it for yourself :)

    10/10 experience. Was in for Friday 13th (of course they were busy) and got everything I needed. Felipe took care of me and man was he a cool guy. The staff was very friendly and patient even when they were crazy busy. I ended up getting a small haunter tattoo(Pokémon) on my leg and it came out amazing! Line work and shading were super clean and Felipe had a light hand so wasn't too painful. Definitely coming back and looking forward to working this crew in the future!

    I'm not normally much of a reviewer, but I have to give such a massive shoutout to Christine for…read moremaking my nose piercing as painless as possible. She was so kind and professional the entire time, made sure I was comfortable, and the piercing itself was done painlessly! When I mentioned wanting to possibly switch to a hoop one day, she went back to make sure the piercing spot was perfect for my future plans. Also, when I mentioned that I was a little dizzy post-piercing [my fault for not having eaten anything], she immediately had a capri sun in my hand, and made sure I was completely fine before leaving. All in all I could not have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be going back for future piercings!

    The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I'm giving 4 stars for their customer service,…read morecleanliness, and responsiveness. My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.

    I was lucky enough to get pierced during their special pride event, June 13, 2026. The event…read moreoverall was very organized, thank you Queens of Needles! You sign up with a QR code, then they call your name when it's your turn. I arrived around 4pm and waited less than 20 minutes. I talked to some of the girls who were waiting to get tattooed and it seemed their wait was also minimal. Jassy (stabbedbyjassy on IG) did three of my piercings. I got a daith, vertical helix, and lobe. I completely trusted her judgement and I'm glad I did. She made the experience fast and painless. Then once I contacted her through IG for some last minute questions, she responded less than two days later. Overall, glad I came here for the event and looking forward to another piercing by Jassy once these heal. Also glad I saved some money by going during this special event, because they quoted me $75 for a helix and $85 for a daith, originally.

    PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING!…read more I am genuinely horrified by my experience today. I deserve compensation for this. This is not what I expected. Madi is a nice girl but please avoid her as an artist. I do not recommend this place. I'm still crying I just didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't like it. Update: I contacted both Madi the artist and the shop directly to request a refund, and so far I have received no response regarding my refund request. It is extremely unprofessional to message me saying what she said. Just because I approved the design does NOT mean it was tattooed the way it should have been. My issue is not design. The fact that the proposed solution is for the same person who did a tattoo I'm unhappy with to simply make more permanent changes to it is honestly unbelievable. A tattoo is not something you can just erase when the work isn't done properly. I trusted this person with my skin, paid for a professional service, and have to consider laser removal. Please do not come to this place they do not hire professionals.
