I really appreciated how easy it was to schedule and organize the tattoo appt, and Lauren was wonderful to work with as we fine tuned the look, size, and placement. The tattoo itself was done even better than I expected, and they provided a very cool saniderm patch that protected it for 3 days, which delayed the constant washing / lotion that I've had to do in other tattoos. It's looking wonderful now that it's almost healed and I'm so grateful! Everyone was very nice, it's a comfortable shop, and we got to watch Brooklyn 99 while we were doing the planning and tattoo, what more could you want?

Great experience, walked in and told them I was wanting a simple change from my original piercing…read moreto hoop and the guy at the counter was friendly and informed me that the guy who does the piercings was actually a few min away and that I could take a seat and watch Ink Master (love this show, btw) until he arrived. The feel was so warm and welcoming, the decor was great. And I couldn't complain getting to sit on a comfy love seat with my fiancé watching Ink Master. We prob waited a total of 15 min, this including my one person ahead of me getting a piercing. The guy who did my piercing was fun and knowledgeable about his profession. He asked me what I wanted got it all setup, everything was sterile (I'm a nurse, so I watch for these things). He was quick, no pain and that was it I had what the hoop I was wanting. I paid and I got was on my way. I'll definitely be back for future piercings.

I needed an ear piercing repaired that had become crooked and quite painful. ACES was clean, cheerful, welcoming and excellent customer Service. No appointment necessary. Loas was busy and I did not mind waiting when greeted with such a happy face. 15 minutes later everything was carefully explained to me and zip zip, it was taken care of. The two previous dark & gloomy shops wanted $50. Loas charged me $5.00. FIVE DOLLARS. What a difference. Thank you for the professionalism, the customer service and the hug..

Pat is my main tattoo guy!! When I was trying to decide on where to go to get my first tattoo, it…read morewas really difficult because, the tattoo parlor's were trying to charge me more for having it put on my lower back. Pat did not discriminate price with the area that I got my tattoo on. AND!! when I started to get my tattoo... it tickled so much!! I was not able to control my skin from twitching because of the tickling, but Pat cares so much about my skin and the tattoo being right and good, that he would touch my skin first then hold on to it tight so that he would still have a good surface for my tattoo. Love it!! Also, he has great colors, I have had my first one for 7 years now and it looks as bright as when I first got it. I totally trust my skin and ideas with Pat 110% and recommend his work to anyone I talk to about tattoos. I look forward to getting my next one! :)

Too small to entice many artists :/ We found Metro Tattoo and they were so accommodating and excited to have us in! We had an apprentice do the work, so we were, admittedly, nervous but Grey was amazing. Great line work and attention to detail. *Took off one star just due to the cleanliness of floors/ambience. End of the day it's a tattoo shop and the price is right, the hygiene standards of the stations and tools are en pointe, just a well-trafficked floor.
