A friend just had one done at in living color and I loved hers. So On Tuesday I went to check on getting one there. I was surprised to be treated so good.

Top class place! Kristen and Meghan are super nice and accommodating. Another local tattoo shop…read morewouldn't give me the time or energy to help me create my first tattoo. Kristen not only helped but got super excited about the piece which was very meaningful to me. She's great to work with and I now call her a friend. One thing about the place is that she has random visitors drop by to say hi. Which goes to show how many wonderful people she has around her. You will have to allow for a pause now and then on your tattoo but she makes it worth it. I highly recommend this place for your next tattoo. she gets booked up quickly but it's worth the wait to have the best in town work on you.

So I walked to this place that was open, it was weird a lot of tattoo shops closes early, so I found this place, the staff was awesome!! I wanted a basic tattoo and got a butterfly, always wanted a butterfly, love butterflies the woman at the front desk was pretty cool and helped me pick the right one (yes there are many different butterflies) and also had to find the perfect size for where I wanted it, I didn't want it too big or small. The guy who did mine was pretty cool as well, very patient when I was telling him where I wanted it. It didn't take long to do, actually fell asleep, and it turned out beautifully. The outlines of the butterfly was pretty badass. Loved it. If anyone is looking for a place to get a tattoo here around Burlington, I would definitely go here. Vibes are amazing here as well. They do a lot of amazing work. I get compliments everyday at work of my tattoo as well.

I've had some upsetting experiences at other piercers, and I knew from my previous tattoo experiences here that it would be the perfect place to get a piercing. It's super calm and welcoming inside, and you can ask as many questions as you would like. Julie has been piercing for 20+ years and clearly knows what she is doing! My friends have also gone here before and all of our tattoos and piercings have healed amazingly. Pricing is available on the website is very reasonable, and included the price of the starter jewelry pictured here (each lobe is $20, daith is $40).

It's OK. Nothing to write home about, and given the small selection in Burlington specifically,…read morethey are on the better end of the spectrum so if you aren't willing to travel to Montreal or Boston or New York where real talent is, or if you desire a distinctly "Vermont" tattoo (cmon, you know the style when you see it), this might be a good place to go. My experience here was really disappointing, though the reason I went here was because people recommended it. Without going into much detail, there wasn't anyone running reception when I arrived (don't put your clients in the weird position of having to interrupt artists already working). My artist ignored our appointment time. When I arrived, she was totally unprepared and unprofessional about handing the situation, clearly in the middle of another client's job when I arrived; and has ignored multiple inquiries regarding a touch up in the months following. I've got a lot of tattoos, it's a big hobby of mine - traveling around to get them done and collaborating with the artist is a big part of it for me - I could just be turning into a snob. It was an incredibly rushed job that wasn't executed well the first-time and I recently had fixed by someone else.

Tons of skilled artists who are professionals that have true integrity and will make sure you leave happy and proud of your body art for decades to come!
