    Tattoo by Peter   https://instagram.com/triolo_tattoos?igshid=1xjkuck5j0jp7

    Searched for months for a tattoo artist that was skillful and within budget. By chance I found Peter via Instagram and I'm so happy I did. He did an amazing job! Peter was super accommodating and patient with me going back and forth with sizing and placement. I've already referred friends and will be going back for future tattoos! https://instagram.com/triolo_tattoos?igshid=1xjkuck5j0jp7

    Got this piece done today by Seven and it's better than the original idea I had of just the wolf. Seven gave his honest and professional opinion on what would work and what wouldn't and ended up helping me create an image that is just phenomenal and original. He was fairly quick while taking the time he needed to perfect the piece. This was my first tattoo and if I choose to do another one I now would not trust anyone else to work on me although I am confident that the other artists at IC are just as good! Thanks Seven!!

    My very first tattoo & love it!!

    Very clean & courteous employees. The tattoo artists are great. The artist that did my tattoo is Jayvo Scott. He might be there only 1 day a month and he's worth the wait. Jayvo took time to ask me what I wanted and colors that I love. It's not your typical colored butterfly. There was also a consultation meeting before I went to my tattoo appointment. Was also recommend by friends. This artist was on that tattoo competition show & all their artists are gifted.

    My awesome piercing! Great job! Thank you ink couture you will definitely be seeing me in the future !

    This place was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I got my piercing from a guy named Seven. He was very talented and knew what he was doing. All the instruments used were sterile and clean. The only downside I have is that he did not go over aftercare piercing instructions like most places do!!! He just said "there ya go, looks good." I found that a bit odd. Also, they charge $10 for using a credit/debit card for payment. There is an ATM in the back that charges $3 to pull out cash. Overall, really good experience. If your looking for your piercer to be overly outgoing this place isn't for you. But if you just want something pierced and done well with experience I would highly recommend!

    The owner frank Russo is a scum bag. My friend and I both got piercings done by him , which I doubt he even has a certification for, and he pierced my ear COMPLETELY wrong and I could've torn my ear open. For my friend he pierced her w a straight needle and then put curved jewelry in it like an asshole. When I called him to complain and ask for a refund , all he offered was to come in and he would put tea tree oil on it , which would dry it out and only helps if you a keloid. Later on that day I went in to talk to him because I was very pissed off and he only offered me a store credit until I threatened him with a lawyer , he then gave my friend and I checks THAT BOUNCED when we tried to cash them. So overall this place can suck my dick and I do not recommend them to anyone.

    Wrong Earring that was used for conch piercing.

    Got 2 piercings was supposed to be 3 about a 2 weeks ago ... horrible the piercer was very rough and rude. Did not even introduce himself and explain what was going to go on later on found out his name is "seven". literally just sat me on the chair and did my cartilage first and did my conch without warning .. I was supposed to get 3 piercings but he just did 2 wonder why I'm not sure.. he was aware I wanted 2 cartilage and 1 conch yet I only got 1 cartilage and a conch ... honestly I'm glad he didn't pierce a third one because the experience was just horrible. Even worst was the jewelry, it was very cheap and long ( wasn't even meant for a conch piercings , I found that out later by multiple people and a REAL piercer). NEVER again ! Beware, just go to real authentic piercers , Save your money/time/ears

    Another great experience at Bullseye tattoo. Wish other businesses I deal with ran this well. Made…read morean appointment to add to an existing tattoo that was done by Kathleen Martello. I arrived a few minutes early and they were ready for me, the artist made a few stencils before I arrived, I was already in the system and setup, asked if I wanted something to eat or coffee. Quickly seated at the artist's station and the exact size and position were determined. Kathleen Martello is a very talented artist and a pleasure to spend time with, answers all questions, addresses any concerns. Very happy with the work, this was my third time she has done work for me. The atmosphere is very calm clean and professional. Pricing was very reasonable.

    My first positive review! I went to this location a couple of weeks ago to get my first tattoo!!…read morewas unsure of the placement and how I wanted it to look, but after meeting with Matt, he genuinely helped me greatly! I came into my appointment, and he was amazing. The place is clean, smells good, and the appearance is amazing. They provided me with whatever I needed, and Matt was extremely personable, funny, and did an amazing job! I was nervous to get the tattoo, but the experience made it so much easier! This place is a little out of my range, but I will be 100% making the 45 minute commute for my next tattoo as well as recommending this place to everyone!

    Overall, the shop itself was immaculate and very clean. The piercings were well placed, the price…read morewas reasonable, and the piercer had good bedside manner, which I appreciated. The staff was helpful, though a bit aloof and standoffish at times. That said, I did run into some issues that made this a more difficult experience than it needed to be. The jewelry used was externally threaded, and they did not have 19mm bars available. I was pierced with 16mm bars, which ended up being just slightly too short for my anatomy. I was pierced in August 2025, and now in December I have had a very difficult healing process largely due to the bar length. I constantly dealt with the balls pressing in and threatening to embed because there simply wasn't enough room for swelling. Before getting pierced, I did ask if longer bars could be used or ordered. I was told they only place jewelry orders every few months and that ordering a specific size for me and having me come back was not how they do things. I was willing to pay for the proper jewelry and return, but that wasn't an option. In hindsight, I should have walked out, but I really wanted the piercings and went forward anyway. I also did not see an A.P.P. membership sticker displayed, which in retrospect should have been another sign for me to choose a different shop. I recently changed my jewelry myself to 19mm internally threaded bars, and the difference has been huge. My nipples are healing properly now and are noticeably happier. I can't speak to their tattooing, but based on my experience, their piercing policies could use improvement. I personally wouldn't return for piercings unless they begin offering internally threaded jewelry and can demonstrate A.P.P. standards.
