Wanted to get a piercing for my birthday last year and only heard good things about this place…read more They are located in a small plaza so the parking is pretty easy! I just walked in, and they were able to get me in. When you arrive, be aware they are cash only there is an ATM inside incase you don't have cash! You are also greeted by the cutest shop pup ;) The girl that did my piercing was really nice and did a great job! I unfortunately had to go back two times after, and they were amazing every time due to my own fault. I had to take out piercing due to sleeping on it! However, I would go back in a heartbeat to get the other side done!

I had a, um, piercing emergency and needed help immediately. I called Mermaid's Mark and they told…read moreme to come right down. I was there within 20 minutes and they fixed me right up. And then didn't even want to charge me (I tipped, of course). I'm leaving a review because (1) they were super nice and (2) the studio itself is gorgeous.

I got a rib tattoo here in 2017. It was a quote written in someone's handwriting. I worked with…read moreAdri on correctly designing my tattoo. Everything seemed like it was going to be fine. The transfer was good, spacing looked nice, etc. But when I was laying on the table, something was off. I could feel the artist repeatedly going over a section they had already done. (I could feel the letters as they spelled it out and I knew they should have been finished.) All the words were complete. But the gun was still going. When I asked the artist what was going on, he cleared his throat and hesitated before saying "uhh, umm, yeah. It's done." When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that the word "PAIN" seemed bold compared to the rest of the wording. I thought maybe it was the initial swelling of the tattoo. But even after it healed, the lines word "PAIN" were thicker than the rest of the tattoo. It's been years, and I'm thankful it never blew out. But I'm still disappointed by it and I'm glad I can't see it on a daily basis because it's hidden under my bra. Most days I try to forget it's there because it's truly disappointing.

I've been meaning to write a review for this place for a while. I had gotten my first tattoo when I…read morewas 18 (dove on my hip) then a few years later I got my 2nd one (trinity on my elbow)..both here. I was extremely nervous but the staff never made me feel intimidated. (Oh and I also got my nose pierced here too!) I can't remember the name of my tattooer but he was very professional and wasn't off putting or pushing me to talk (which is a problem I have sometimes when I go to services like hairdressers etc). He gave me specific instructions on how to care for it and the tattoo was done very efficiently. The price was very reasonable and that's what made me go back for my 2nd one. I printed out a shape for them to do exactly on my arm and they replicated it perfectly (I REALLY wish I remembered his name because he did both of mine really well). My tattoos were pretty simple and I've heard of some tattoo artists at other places scoffing at designs when they feel like they aren't "artsy" enough but this place didn't do that at all. I would totally go back for my 3rd here!

I was concerned about the shop being open due to Covid, but we had been in touch several times since then and there was absolutely no mention of the shop closing. He asked for pix of what we wanted so that he knew what to expect. The last thing he messaged me was "see you June 13 @ 3!" We went to the shop today thinking we were still on. My daughter and I were very excited as we've waited months for this. We got there, the sign on the door said to knock loudly, so I did but...you guessed it, no one was there. I iMessaged him and got a BS canned response of being closed and the county watching them closely. No apology, no offer to reschedule, no nothing. He did not even read my messages beyond him telling me they were closed. Real stand up guy! Clearly customer service is not a priority to this place. It's a crap way to run your business. Anyone who follows them on FB knows that they have been inking people. At this point, I hope they do get busted. There are plenty of tattoo shops in Lancaster County that could use your support. Spend your money somewhere it will be appreciated.
