This tattoo is incredibly meaningful to…read moreme, and I'm so grateful to have found an artist who not only understood my vision but elevated it with his own creative touch. He took something so personal and turned it into a piece of art that exceeded anything I could have imagined. The attention to detail, precision, and care C.J. put into every part of the process truly stood out. From start to finish, the experience was professional, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. I walked away with a unique piece that I'll be proud to wear and show off for the rest of my life. Thank you, C.J., for creating something so special. I can't recommend you enough, and I already can't wait to come back for my next piece!

I really didn't want to have to write this review, but I felt like I really needed to because I…read morefeel that I don't want other people to have the same experience that I did. I was referred to Babylon by a lot of my friends because they all said great things about the piercer. They said that she was nice and does a great job and to definitely go there because you will get a really good job done. I also read the reviews and I think that the person that they saw was Jess. So I went with my mom and I got the notarized consent form to get a nostril piercing. When I got there, I was told that Jess no longer works there and they said that the new piercer will take care of me so I didn't really think anything of it because I felt that if the reviews were good about the old piercer the new piercer should be just as good so I decided to get the piercing because I was already there with my mom. My nose piercing was not good at all. She was shaking the whole time and made me feel very uneasy. The whole nose piercing was very painful. After it was done, it was so uncomfortable that it made me scared and I had to go to another shop to have it looked at by another piercer. That piercer told me that it was the wrong jewelry and that it was too small and not the right thing to be pierced with to start. I had to get it changed and my mom had to pay for not only my nostril piercing at Babylon but also for the other person to put in a new jewelry to make the pain go away. She also didn't even tell me how I needed to take care of it. The piercer that fixed my nostril piercing told me that I was supposed to be given aftercare instructions and I was not told anything. This was supposed to be something that I was looking forward to and it only ended up being very painful and unpleasant for me. I don't understand why if somebody doesn't work at a place anymore that people are made to think that they do when the reviews are good. I was expecting a good experience like all my friends had. I am definitely not going back. I hope that anybody reading this doesn't go here either.

I was so excited about going to this place and when I arrived, I was helped by a very nice woman…read morethat unfortunately, had terrible body odor. It was overwhelming. I tried to disregard and continued through the process of selecting an earring and place to pierce my ear, but when I went to the bathroom just before the piercing, I nearly threw up. The stench and condition of the bathroom was worse than any rest stop public restroom I've ever been in. By the time u laid down on the table for the piercing, once again her body odor was so overwhelming, I couldn't handle another second and had to make an excuse that I was having 2nd thoughts. I had such high hopes for this place and would love to try again if this is resolved.

Nervously walking in after making the decision of getting my nose pierced, Sweet Leaf staff made me…read morefeel safe immediately. I was greeted with a smile and the process was explained to me. I chose the jewelry I preferred and then I waited for a few minutes while the technician went to prepare everything to be sterilized for the procedure. It didn't take long before I was called in. She explained how the process would go and some of the things I would experience which was very helpful to me. The procedure itself had a quick painful moment. It didn't last long at all. Before I realized, we were done and my nose was sparkling with my new piece of jewelry! I wish I remember the name of the technician to give her a shout out, but if you're reading this, you were awesome :) Afterwards, I was explained the healing process and how I needed to take care of my new nose ring. Overall, it was a great experience. I think most importantly to me is that the staff made me feel safe, welcomed, and I felt informed of what was about to happen which me being nervous, made a huge difference! Ps. I think the nose ring looks epic ;) thank you!

I went here for a jewelry change back in April and the jewelry started oxidizing extremely quickly…read moreand it started getting worse. I went back and waited 10 minutes before being acknowledged and was quickly dismissed and told that I need to clean my jewelry and using saline (what I've used to clean my piercings for the past 7 years as most people do) is what's causing more grime to enter the jewelry . They told me to purchase an ultra sonic machine off Amazon and after I did so and used it a few times, over the course of two weeks, my jewelry only oxidized further. Had to buy new jewelry from another local place and they confirmed that this happens when the jewelry is low quality. I feel like I wasted my money replacing my jewelry twice within 2 months and I felt brushed off when I came looking for answers.

My adult son and daughter got sibling tattoos here the day after Christmas (a Snoopy and…read moreWoodstock). And they loved the place. Well, they got their love for Snoopy from me, the collector. So, immediately, I wanted one, too. I have had four tattoos before, all cosmetic (2 eyebrows and 2 eyeliners). So this was a senior citizen whim fueled by my great love for Snoopy and wanting to have something done to match my kids. But I also wanted a purple rose, my favorite flower with my favorite color. So my daughter and I went to the shop. She had an old (not-so-good) cherry blossom tattoo redone, and I got my Snoopy with a purple rose. We absolutely love them! The artists are extremely friendly, oozing with talent, and work with you to get a rendition of exactly what you want before they ink the tattoo. (Shout-out to Jose and Cesar!) The place is very professional, clean (spotless), and bright. You even get to see the unopened ink (and it's expiration date) before it is used on you. They use a topical agent to lessen the pain. But it really was minimal and well worth it for the final product. Prices are reasonable. You can get an estimate before the work begins. P.S. I decided to add a smile to my Snoopy, and they did it the next day without any hassles and at no extra charge!

I've had quite a few tattoos all in different cities with different artist , and True Love exceeded…read moremy expectations. My husband and I always pass the shop by when we're headed to the restaurant next-door so finally we were able to dip our feet in the water through the Friday the 13th flash tattoo special. What I found amazing about the special was that it was extremely organized. Most shops that host Friday the 13th tattoos are always slammed, pricey, and even after waiting in line for hours and filling out forms, it's not even guaranteed that you will be able to get tattooed. Earlier this week the owner announced on the Instagram story feed that they would be hosting Friday the 13th tattoos. He listed out all instructions, and that individuals who were looking to get tattooed could come in Wednesday and Thursday preselect their artist designs and appointment times for Friday that way it insured everyone was able to get a chance to get a tattoo and it flowed smoothly for the artist. If you did sign up for an appointment ahead of time you only paid $30, if you decided to come in day of and there were appointments available it would be $50. They also offered $31 off of piercings so I went in early, decided to take them up on the special. I selected Amanda as my artist and a cute cat design. This gave me the opportunity to meet her since I follow her on Instagram and loved all of her designs, but I haven't been able to commit to a bicep piece until I could see firsthand how well she did with a smaller tattoo. I have PTSD from running into a few artist who screwed up a few of my tattoos, and resulted in cover ups or chewed up my skin so bad it left scarring. The shop was immaculate and sterile . It smelled cleaner than a doctors office. Amanda was kind quick, but did a thorough job with my tattoo I barely felt any pain throughout the process. The only time I felt something was when she decided to clean the tattoo with alcohol then there was a slight burn. I loved the end result and I hope to set up a conversation with her soon to discuss and bigger piece. The whole staff was amazing including the receptionist who actually remembered me when I came back. The owner took be by surprise at how approachable and kind he was. I've met a few others who were stuck up, off putting, or wouldn't give you the time of day. He was the complete opposite and even spoke to husband for awhile about designs for Japanese tattoos. If you're looking for a shop of talented and kind artist i highly recommend checking out one of their two locations. You can review artist profiles on their website or call if you have any questions.

Black water is one of Hollywood's hidden gems and a great low key spot to get a tattoo…read more I spoke to Matilde via text and she got me a ton of quick information. She let me know about the process, walk ins, bookings, etc. She was definitely friendly and professional. We walked in around 845pm and met with Erick. My wife had a few ideas and he was quick to react. He showed confidence that you want from a tattoo artist but he also offered his opinion to avoid compromising the piece which sometimes leads to a bad tattoo. He gave us the price, which was the shop min, and we were rolling. He took the time to sketch it out and explain how the tattoo would be placed and look. He also showed us, every step, how the process worked and how everything was clean and sterile. After a quick stencil placement, the tattoo was started and completed in about 5 minutes. (Quill) His calm demeanor and friendly disposition lead to a second tattoo which wasn't even planned. Another conversation and sketch and we were into number two. This one came with a little more detail but Erick did a great job. He talked with my wife the whole way and kept her focused on being calm and just enjoying the process. This one took a little longer due to the additional detail but it came out just as good. (Palm tree, sun and the word Breathe) Ericks talent is only rivaled by his easy going mentality. I would recommend him to anybody who wants not only a great tattoo, but a fantastic overall tattoo experience. We will back to black water to ask for Erick.
