Bill is a master artist. My daughter and I had our appointments on Saturday, and we could not be happier. Already planning our next trip back to see Bill. 100% recommendation. read more

such an awesome vibe in there, and such friendly staff! I've gotten my industrial, 2 nostril piercings, and my septum done there, and they all healed so quickly. definitely coming back for my next piercing read more

KORYN IS AMAZING!!!! She gives stunning, artistic, delicate tattoos and is so kind! Inside is full of art and music, and she is so stylish and gentle! Absolutely love her! Prices are fair, communication is good, but can only DM her on certain days (probably because she's so amazing that her schedule is busy). I haven't gotten tattooed by anyone else in the shop so I can't speak for them. read more

Bill is very creepy. Would love to give artists here my business but I don't feel comfortable in this atmosphere. I got my nipples pierced by him at 18 y/o and he told me that I have man nipples, (yeah they're very tiny, but whatever lol), then told me he doesn't think we should do it because of their size, then changes his mind and proceeds with the piercing. One of them was done at an angle at which you could literally see the piercing through the flesh. Needless to say it never healed. My nipple is damaged and has almost no sensation. He told me he's going to have to arouse them, which I knew was probably standard. He was definitely being flirty and I felt uncomfortable by him staring at my eyes while he did it. A couple years later I went to get a rook piercing (which healed at an angle), the needle he used "fell" down my shirt. I went to grab it and he told me not to then grabbed it with his hands. Just a weird and unprofessional experience for me both times with him. Not sure if I'm overreacting to his behavior, I know at least I felt uncomfortable and maybe it could help other women who think about coming here. read more

Owner was really nice. Stopped in without an appointment and Bill took the time to explain my options and help me out with my piercing. Shop was clean and had a chill vibe. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! Don't even send people you hate here. Ive been a business owner and a manager for 19 years and Ive always let go of bad experiences, but let me tell you... I was pierced at this location just under 2 weeks ago and my experience with Bill still makes my hands shake. I was out of town visiting 2 very important friends of mine, and we decided to get piercings as a bonding experience. Upon entering the establishment, there was a very sweet lady at the desk that did her job professionally and with kindness. She informed us that there was art on the walls for sale and said that while we waited we could look at it. I thought this was a great way to upsell the business. I took a phone call and unbeknownst to me, Bill had stopped tattooing someone to yell at the rest of my party to get out of the back of his shop. Mind you... this man was about to put holes in our bodies and we were invited to look at this art. He then proceeded to admonish the young lady in front of everyone. This put a bad taste in my mouth but we decided to give it a chance anyways. Poor life choice for us. Bill pierced my friend in uncomfortable silence and then it was my turn. I tried to be polite. I even called him sir. He asked me why I was visiting my friends and when I replied he asked me "are you retarded?" Now I don't like that word, but for this review I need to use it so that everyone reading can understand just how striking it was. TO HAVE A NEEDLE IN MY FACE and at 34 very mature years of age... and have a "Professional artist" ask me this. He proceeded to rub his "manhood" (if you can call it that) against my knee very blatantly for the rest of this interaction. I couldn't adjust myself because I had a needle in my face. I had to take it. And the way he enjoyed it, I am positive I am not the only person he has done this too. The violation I felt in that moment was terrible... And if you're not horrified enough yet... Oh Bill gets better. He proceeded to follow me out to where I was paying and asked me if I was afraid of "being kidnapped by my friends" to which I promptly replied "God I hope I do". THEN.... the cherry on top... is when he followed me outside, leaned against the brick wall, lit a cigarette, and asked me"You sure you wanna get in that car?" I didn't reply. Cause would've come out of my mouth would've been a slew of hatred that I didn't need my friends to see. I will be reporting this business to absolutely every site i can find and I will re-post it if it gets taken down. And to the lady at the front desk. Value yourself more. You did a great job. You can do better in your industry. I will also be in contact with the BBB and the local police department. Bill is a disgrace to actual artists and to male population and humanity in general. Thank you for your time. I hope you enjoy your piercings elsewhere. read more

Bill is awesome!!! He gave me an awesome memorial piece that I love so much!!!!! Recommend them 100%

This place is so stinkin awesome. Went to Asbury tattoo fest and got a sick thigh tattoo by Bill. Came out perfectly, such a cool dude. Definitely check this place out! read more

Bill's super professional, very accommodating. Has no problem if you need to get up and stretch. Great work. He's got an iPad with Netflix set up while you sit. Very sterile. Make an appointment, walk-ins will have to wait. That's the general rule when you go to even somewhere like a hair salon. Of course you have to make an appointment in-person with a cash deposit; time is money and you're blocking out the artist's time and if you don't show up to your appointment, he lost 2+ hours that he could be making money. These negative reviews are just kids throwing tantrums. All in all, he's got my business permanently. Go in to Heart and Dagger and check them out yourself. read more

Amazing service! Super clean shop, everyone is also so welcoming! My dad & I walked in looking to do some matching tattoos and Bobby understood the assignment. Super professional and sanitary, recommend to anyone, definitely will be back whenever I'm back in town! read more

Well I went to the shop yesterday as soon as they opened I waited for the piercer which He proceeded to put a hoop in my nose for the first time ever getting my nose pierced and I found out you are not supposed to have a hoop first and only a stud and than I wake up to the clasp broken I would like to get it replaced with a stud or a new hoop my nose is in horrible pain because of the clasp being broken I will be giving a call today I'm not gonna say it's nobody's fault but the piercer should have known that u are only supposed to put a stud in first I'm younger so I didn't intill my family told me read more

Marilyn pierced me, my mom, and my sisters nose. They all turned out great and we love them so much and have a designated piercer now! I'm already thinking of doing other piercings. She was personable and I recommend her highly! Thanks Marilyn! I love it! read more

went to get my daith a couple day's ago with a friend. no social distancing at all... so many of us standing in that small waiting room. man doing my piercing wore NO MASK?? he is very close to all his clients all day. i wasn't given a hoop it was more of a bar in my daith which has been in so much pain since. women at front desk is the only reason i'll even consider two stars.. very sweet and answered all my questions fast. i'm usually a big fan of exotics and went to heart dagger because it was closer but i regret it. i went to exotics for them to look at my daith and they had to fix the whole thing. felt a rude vibe from the piercer the whole time. wasn't comfortable and won't be back. read more

Amazing service! 3 walk Ins 10 minutes before they closed and they still took us! I loved each and every tattoo artist, they were all fun in there own way: I was really nervous about getting my tattoo and they all reassured me that I would be fine. I felt like I was in good hands. It was EXTREMELY CLEAN and our tattoo artist knew what he was doing. I would highly recommend going!! Thank you again!! read more

I was in town and me and my friend decided to get a tragus piercing and boy was it an amazing placement and atmosphere! So happy for this random run in a great experience. They had great artist and decor. Would definitely recommend read more

It's no shock that Heart and Dagger disabled the option to write reviews on FB..I called the shop twice to find out the size and pricing for the March flash special and was told to see Facebook for pricing and to "come in and see" the size of the flash art. (Frustrating since I'm trying to fit this piece in between existing ink) So, I visited the shop and it was after I filled out the paperwork and handed over my license that I was told that there would be an extra TWENTY DOLLAR charge since I wanted the piece done on my back, because that makes sense . I was told that this mark up was posted on FB, so I should have been aware (this post is nowhere to be seen on FB). So, two phone calls and a 45 minute drive later, I found out a simple, 2 inch tattoo went from $40 to $60. I will be absolutely shocked if you guys remain in business after you're done swindling eager teens with your monthly "deals" Stick to producing quality art and helping people to express themselves instead of dampening what little trust is left in the world. read more

my favorite place ever! they got us in so quickly and not only gave me 2 amazing perfect tattoos but fixed my boyfriends tattoo that was poorly done by someone else! so happy with how everything came out thank you bill!!!! read more

See all

My mom and I just got tatted by Bill. We could not be happier!!!! They came out amazing and we will definitely, definitely recommend heart and dagger! read more

See all

Bill was amazing and gave me a new piercing after my other one was pierced crooked. I'm very happy with my new piercing. I would definitely recommend Bill for piercings. read more

This place is amazing! Very comfortable environment, COVID-19 safe, and all the artists and extremely nice. My artist was Marilyn and she made me feel very comfortable and Bill was very nice to me as well! read more

Go make an appointment right now! This place is truly amazing and the people are so down to earth. I had Bill and he did my nose and belly piercings he also just did 2 tattoos for me and it was my first time getting it done. He was so sweet and made me feel comfortable. I love them so much!! Great environment. Totally recommend read more

There's a lot to say here ima just make it short, smoke breaks, lunch breaks, piercing walk ins aren't what I pay for in a tattoo session. Let alone the work done within the time. If anyone is looking for a tattoo that doesn't look anything close to how much you've been charged, come on down to heart and dagger where you'll get milked easily 4K for a sleeve. Multiple sessions canceled literally the day before or the day of my appointment. I'll take my money elsewhere where somebody wants to do their job of tattooing at a non milkman price, definitely better work too EDIT no I'm not coming back cause your shop is trash read more

Won't go there ever again . My sister goes there tonight very excited and nervous about getting her tongue pierced and right away he's giving this disgusting attitude . My sister wanted me to come in the room and he gave an attitude about bringing me in so he brought her in alone then my friend was called in there and he told her with the rudest attitude that this is his business and bla bla bla so then my sister was like i just want my sister so i go to the door and he pierced her and turns around and goes "you happy now?" And i could care less if i was in there it was just so she had me for support . Disgusting never again going there i always hear about how rude they are there but we decided to give it a try and nope horrible . Ruined this happy moment . read more

Got tattooed by Brett, a mandala moon on my right shoulder blade that I love! It has an abstract butterfly in the middle of the crescent moon. He did a lighter shading of the veins of its wings so it would look more realistic and told me as he did so, so I would be aware for the healing process that said portion would be lighter. Loved that communication. Great attitude and personality, clean shop, only thing I didn't love was that pricing has to be done in person and they are roughly an hour away from me. BUT there's a shop opening up in Spotswood! Super excited for that! He's also going to do a mandala sun on my left shoulder blade after this one heals, can't wait! read more

I saw the special that this shop was having on facebook and was estatic. I walked in to get some information on pricing, etc about an hour ago and now I am home with a beautiful new tattoo from Bill. He was very helpful and even offered to do the tattoo right then and there! He has a great personality along with the rest of the shop! read more

By far the best tattoo shop I've been to. Brian did 2 of my tattoos and they both came out beautiful & are my favorites out of all the tattoos I have. I also had my nose & tragus pierced by Bill, they barely hurt & came out really well. I haven't gotten an infection on my tattoos or piercings & everyone in the shop is really friendly. read more

I absolutely love this place. It was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad that she told me to go here. Bill is awesome and really makes you feel at home in his shop. He let's you just relax and watch whatever you want on Netflix, which was honestly my favorite part since it distracted me from the tattoo pain lol. He really makes sure that you're happy with the work he's doing the entire time and really puts his heart into his work. He did a killer job on the portrait I wanted of my pet and I couldn't be happier with him. Would definitely recommend!! read more

First of all it's kind of annoying the only way you can make an appointment here is with a cash deposit (they are cash only btw). I was planning to get something from the FB special, nothing custom. Super disappointed, I live over an hour away and was excited to make it down here to take advantage of the Facebook special, only to end up waiting forever and having to leave with no tattoo. When I asked how long it would be I was never given a clear answer. read more

i came to get a tattoo with one of my friends. upon entering they said we wouldn't have time to get them as walk-ins that night and we were about to leave when one of the artists told us to come back in and we would have time. two hours later we were still waiting and finally decided to leave. after we left we had many people tell us that this tattoo shop doesn't change their needles which was extremely concerning. i also had a friend who said she got her belly button pierced here and paid a lot of money to have them pierce her stomach. i am very uncomfortable by all of my new information. read more

went in the shop to check out some of the specials and left really happy with the service! these guys are really rad and super nice. definitely worth checking out!!!! read more

Went here a few months ago for a nostril piercing. I called ahead in the morning to make sure the piercer was in. I was told I could come in then and only after getting there told he wouldn't be in for an hour. So an hour later I went back and was now told he wouldn't be in till 4. My third time visiting in one day the piercer was finally in and I could start the paperwork. Then had to use the ATM because they are cash only. Did not open the jewelry fresh but rather took it from a jar on the wall. I almost walked out then but had already spent the entire day trying to get the piercing so I took the chance. Luckily it did not get infected but nowhere near as sterile as anywhere else I've been. Out of all the piercings I've gotten from multiple places (I have 3 other body ones and multiple ear ones) this was the worst in both process and incorrect aftercare advice. Pay the extra $30 and go somewhere that knows what they're doing. read more

Went their for the Friday the 13th tattoo special; everything was incredibly unprofessional, they should have anticipated that a lot of people were going to be coming, I got their at 3:30 and didn't get tattooed until 1 in the morning, people were cutting the line and getting their work done after going their several hours after I had, their was no order. They should have limited it to one tattoo a person. You could tell the owner was frustrated because of the long hours but he had an incredibly bad attitude and kept voicing his frustration out loud. He was not a pleasant person and I won't be returning specifically because of him- if you want to get a tattoo stay clear of here read more
