I just got back from my septum piercing with Auric Adornments and I'm really glad I went with them…read more Marshall (the owner - been in business 25 years!) was very welcoming, professional and a great communicator; I felt well educated before the piercing took place and after. I also received a great aftercare email and feel well set up to heal. The piercing itself was expert; I felt very brief pain at the insertion and in the shift from needle to jewelry, but considerably less intense than I was expecting and very quick. I'm looking forward to going back when it's time for new jewelry, and would definitely recommend Marshall's shop to all!

Danny was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding, and helped me figure out exactly what would work best. We scheduled the session shortly after, and the entire experience was amazing.

I highly recommend this place--the prices are great, the level of experience is outstanding, and they truly go above and beyond to accommodate and help their clients.

Looks like another 5 star review for Lighthouse Tattoo in the books for me!…read more After the hospital has to take out so my jewelery, I had a hard time putting my nose ring back in. I remembered that Tyler told me that Selena is the piercer that works here. So as I headed out for the day, I stopped in to say hi to everyone. I got to say hello to Tyler and officially meet Selena! Everyone was kicked back and it was so chill in there. Great vibe! I wanted to give them a little business, so I purchased a new nose ring and tongue ring. She pulled out the jewelery and after selecting what I wanted, she sanitized the chair and jewelry. Brought me in and started pushing the jewelery into my nose. After being out for a few days, it needed to be pierced again. OUCH! Selena had to grab the piercing needle (I forgot the word she used for it) and push it through. Then, she had to push the jewelery through. It was rougher this time because I had scar tissue in there. She also put my tongue ring in for me and made sure it was on there nice and tight. She took good care of me, spayed my nose with saline to keep the area clean. I really love the vibe when I walk in here. Am I weird or is there something soothing about the sound of the tattoo gun working? I'm looking forward to when I am ready to get my next piercing because I will be coming back here to see Selena!

Let me begin by saying that I NEVER write yelp reviews, I just read them. As testament to my very…read morestrong feelings concerning Mark and the entire Truth family, I think that this will be my very first one... It almost hurt MY feelings to read that one negative review from Michael and I hope that this review (along with the multiple others) can trump that bad seed. I have been getting tattooed by Mark for almost 2 years now. He did my first "big" piece. I have a few other tats from random shops along the way, but once I was introduced to Mark, I knew I had stumbled upon something amazing. Mark is not only a unique and talented artist, but he's a good-hearted, honest, and beautiful person. I've sat for multiple day-long sessions with him and there is never an uncomfortable or unhappy moment-aside from the fact that you are being stuck repeatedly with a needle of course. However, even THAT isn't so bad, as Mark has a steady, gentle flow as well as some fantastic equipment. You can't even hear that often annoying "buuuuuzzzz" sound from his machine. The environment is relaxing (waterfalls, live plants, candles) and inviting. There is all kinds of art on the walls, prayer flags and clouds on the ceiling-no scary biker skeleton shit that little white chicks like me might get scared away by. I've been in other shops that make me feel intimidated, or like I don't belong there. Not at Truth! It is honestly such a family-oriented environment. I've met his kids on multiple occasions (so adorable!) and his wife is awesome too! My boyfriend is the one that originally sent me to Mark. He has such an incredible following. Mark is super personable and a great conversationalist. If you've ever sat for a long session before you know that this is a huge plus in an artist. You don't want to have to lay there bored and in pain for hours. Time literally flies by with Mark. As for his tattoos...I can't express how impressive his work is. As other reviews have mentioned, if you want a shamrock or a heart on your big toe, go to one of those places that have you pick your design off the wall or out of a book. Mark's pieces are brilliant interpretations of the clients dreams. His "book" is filled with full sleeves of Where the Wild Things Are, morphing fire phoenixes, tree women, and all kinds of crazy custom creations. I came to Mark with an idea for a large piece and we worked together (looked at photos/ brainstormed ideas/ sketched different elements) to bring my vision to life. He talked me through every step of the process...even to the point of me saying "Mark, you are amazing, just do what you think is best." The journey of creating a permanent piece of art on your body can become very emotional and sometimes trying in many ways, but Mark is such an intuitive person that he understands all of the process as if through the clients eyes. Reaching that level of trust with your artist is so wonderful. I am so grateful. I truly think that if you are type-A and want a tattoo RIGHT NOW and are in any way close-minded, you definitely should consider looking at another shop. There are artists out there who will be right for you. But, if you are not afraid to step outside the box a little, you're not afraid of tweaking your original vision for the betterment of the overall masterpiece, you aren't in some major kind of rush and understand that perfection (dare I use that word) may take some time, and you are chill, friendly, and generally a good soul, you will love Mark, and he will love you too! He has such passion what he does, and that just makes it so much better. After our last session he said to me, "Damn I had so much fun today." I have no idea who that person Michael is nor do I care, but I have a suspicion that his negative attitude toward Mark and his shop may have more to do with the type of person he is, not necessarily Mark's abilities or attributes as a shop owner and artist. All in all, I highly recommend Truth Tattoo to anyone whether it's your first tat or your 15th..Mark will hook you up! Stop by the shop and check it out for yourself!
