36 minutes agoNEW If I could give this place a 0 start rating, I would...I went there, unplanned, for a piercing, a dermal for my upper lip.. Matty, the so called piercer, failed to tell me that a Marilyn dermal should not be done, only that it would be difficult to do.. I guess he saw dollar signs..because not only did it take him 1 hour to do this..he also charged me $100.00 for it..me not knowing what they normally would go for, I paid him+ tip. I'll admit, I was happy with it.. Sore.. But happy.. But then.. It all went wrong...I was at another establishment and asked if they could look at my piercing, and I was shocked, pissed, and annoyed that Matty" the master piercer" not only should not have pierced a dermal on my lip but charge me $90 over their standard piercing prices... I went back to ink 99 and spoke to Matty, I showed him a picture of my lip and to be honest with you, he acted like he just did not give a shit.. anyway, I got the owners number, angelo, I've called Angelo multiple times to have a discussion regarding the procedure and the over charges, i left him multiple messages and he has refused to return my calls, which is why I am posting this review regarding his shop. Beware of this place, this place does not care about their customers, they don't care about customer satisfaction all they care about is the bottom dollar, get your money and get them out. At least that's how I feel. Anyone who asks me I will tell them to stay as far away from them as possible. It never should have taken an hour to pierce my lip and he never should have charged me over $100 to pierce my lip. They are thieves, the owner doesn't care cuz he doesn't return calls. I give this place a triple zero!!! read more

I called this business to find out if they did VCH (genital hood piercings) whoever answered the phone said yes they did, that I could have an appointment the next day at 2pm with a female piercer, I asked the price and she clearly stated it was $60 with the jewelry included. Since this was such a great price I booked the appointment. The following day I go in to find out that my appointment hasn't been booked at all, okay no big deal, when asked what piercing I was getting I discreetly told the woman at the desk (seeing as there were other people all around) and she spoke rather loudly about it, then went to tell the male piercer that I would be next, I explained that I was supposed to be with the female; next the female piercer comes out and asks me what piercing so I once again discreetly tell her a hood piercing- to which she says something about piercing my Fupa area- two completely different areas by the way- so now I'm slightly concerned, but, just reexplain. She says she will be ready for me shortly, now I'm putting my information in the system and the woman checking me in asks what I was quoted, I tell her $60 she says that's completely wrong and that she will check with the piercer how much it is. The piercer comes bombing out from the back room speaking VERY loudly about genital piercing, I think she said genital 3 times as loudly as possible before I had a chance to ask her to lower her voice. Now the piercing is $200 which is $80 over every other place I had called. I explained that I was fine with it, money wasn't an issue, but that they should certainly find out who answered the phone considering now we have found many mistakes, (no booked appointment, wrong quote) they tell me anyone who is there answers the phone so they would have no idea who it was and weren't very concerned with it. Okay fine?... now I'm waiting over 20 mins and the male piercer comes out and asks if he can help a couple guys who walked in the door- whatever they said to him I'm not sure but he responded with an attitude and "well i don't know i just walked out here." Then approaches me and asks if I've been helped- I tell him yes. Now he asks me with what, I tell him I'm all set and that I'm waiting for the female piercer, to which he responds "ohhhh, you're the VCH huh." I waited a little while longer, pretty shell shocked and uncomfortable with their customer service, or lack thereof, and finally made the decision to leave since I really didn't feel like getting my vagina pierced by someone with a clear attitude. I'm far from a prude but I definitely think this could all have been handled so much more professionally. read more

My daughter and I got matching tattoos. This was my first and my daughters fourth. I was a little apprehensive but Kaitlin was so sweet and gentle. She was simply amazing. I will definitely return for another. read more

Ink 99 Tattoo - Piercing Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

Unfortunately this tattoo shop no longer offers good quality. They are generic with house artists employed

Worse experience ever, no running water, saw girls drinking in the shop while being tattooed, shop was very dirty, seen a tattoo needle on the floor,took about 10 minutes before anyone came to help me. the only person who came to help was the piercer who was very nice and answered all my questions. went back 2 weeks later to get a piercing and found out he was no longer there. will never go back again !!! read more

I made an appt with Mike for a tattoo on my arm two days ahead of time. The only guy In the shop said my artwork should be fine. I paid a $60 deposit. When they sent my confirmation it had the wrong time. I emailed him back correcting the time. I didn't hear from the shop so I called after they were open the following day and confirmed the time. When I arrived for my appt, Mike said he received my email but "doesn't like to answer emails." He asked a few questions and said he would start working on the stencil. An hour and 15 minutes later the art work was still not done. He refused to use the sample that I provided. What he had drawn was NOT to my approval. After waiting for so long, I still had no tattoo. I asked for my deposit back. He refused to return my deposit. If you go to Dream House Ink, buyer beware. I will NEVER recommend this place. read more

10 years of talking about it, my dearest friend comes down from Indpls to visit, & once we walk into Dream House Ink, we know serendipity took over & it's time to get that tatt we've discussed so many times before! Exactly the cleanliness, professionalism, creativity & "cool factor" I look for when deciding on ink. I heard about Dream House on the news & in the newspaper, & as a local in need of a re-do on an older piece, I was curious anyways. Jubol gave me & my bestie each an awesome anam cara symbol, but after seeing Julian's re-do & touch up work on actual clients, I know I'll be back! Can't wait actually!! read more

Owner is a Liar and is misrepresenting his business!! During the end of May I was in Tarpon Springs for a little vacation as well as some business. I stopped by Dream House Ink while there inquiring on another tattoo.. I had spoken to an artist while I was in there, he was very professional and was willing to take the time to show me his work and to make me feel comfortable with getting new ink.. I told him I would back in town in a month to make an appt with him.. I recently just called and requested him, however the owner - Angelo-answered and said there was no one there by this name and tried to place me with another artist, I looked on dream house website and there was the artist i requested.. so I called back, and said to the owner, I just saw the artist on your website after he lied to me and tried to act as if he had amnesia for a min.. Bottom line. OWNER lied! And is a money hungry individual with no means to be in this industry, And is showing work of an amazing artist (Christian) that does not work there and left on his own will a couple weeks prior.. -Melissa from Michigan- read more

This place is great! I would highly recommend anybody looking for a tattoo in the area to go check them out. They do great work!
