I was able to secure a reservation with the owner Mike , I just had to email him a picture of the tattoo design and put down a $40 deposit . The tattoo parlor was clean and cozy , and once I met Mike , I was put immediately at ease . He was great to work with , and knowing this was my first tattoo , he was nice enough to distract me with some conversation and throughly explained the after care procedures. I am very pleased with the results , as was my friend ! I may even get another one in a few years , and I would have them do it again! Make Hone and Forge the place for your tattoo needs, you won't regret it!

Moria very quickly became my go-to piercing studio after one or two visits here. Amanda and Jeff…read moreare both so great to work with. Jeff has the best bedside manner of any piercer that I've gone to and always explains what he's doing which I appreciate. Amanda does such a good job of styling jewelry and helping me pick out great pieces that will fit with my vibe. I'm eventually planning on revamping all of my jewelry with her because they have such a great selection of fine jewelry and really go the extra mile to help you out. If you're looking for a new piercing artist I would definitely give them a try!

Came across this wonderful piercing studio on Instagram, found out they had a couple of Modern Mood…read morepieces I had been desperately looking for over the past week. Amanda helped out over DM's to pick out the perfect piece and I couldn't thank her enough for helping me snag the piece that I currently and proudly display on my ear. Amanda is amazing and incredibly helpful, sent me detailed photos and videos of the various pieces I was interested in. She even offered future curation assistance to style my ear and jewelry recommendations. So if you ever run across this lovely studio on your instagram, don't hesitate to get in touch with them to send you a gorgeous piece. If I'm ever in Buffalo I am definitely dropping by and giving my love to Amanda.

I have many tattoos on my body that I regret getting. Some are just bad, some are just a part of my…read morepast. One I needed gone forever was highly embedded in black ink (a well-done tattoo, but one I regretted getting). I chose Chelsea for my cover-up not only for her incredible work, but she had the best cover-up work I seen! I presented her with some ideas I saw online, all with a similar theme of a mandala with flowers. She drew something up for me, using pictures of real lily flowers (my fave) she had growing from her previous home and I loved it and was ready to go. This took a few sessions due to the detail she puts into her work. If you want something worthwhile, especially a cover-up, please go for quality and detail over "saving money" or you will regret it! You will also enjoy listening to music here and she will put up a room divider to cover you if someone comes in, or someone is there with another client, so you won't be seen if say you have a vulnerable or private part of your body exposed. There is no one else I would go to for tattoos after my sessions with Chelsea. I can't say I regret the tattoo she covered up ... it's what led me to this cover up which is my absolute favorite tattoo! This picture is almost 2 years healed.

My daughter already had work done by Chelsea (owner of the shop) and I really liked the work she'd done. The shop is very clean and well organized. Decor is eye-catching, and enhances the overall energetic vibe you feel when you walk in. The staff are very professional and meticulous about making sure all tools and work areas are sterile and sanitized. The products used for any service they offer and provide are high quality. I will mention they may be pricier than other shops, but the quality of the work justifies it. You get what you pay for! I've become a repeat customer, since Chelsea tattooed my cat's paw-prints I definitely recommend Pebbles Ink for tattoos and piercings!

Upon walking into the shop, you notice how clean it is but you also notice the fascinating art on…read moredisplay. The owner, Manny, is the best tattoo artist I have ever encountered. My wife and I did a lot of searching online for an artist that had that certain touch when it came to both realism, as well as ability to be whimsical. We were blown away by his portfolio on IG. When we first met him, we knew we made the right choice. No fluff, no BS, just straight up honest man. What you see is what you get. Professional but down to earth. Extremely talented but not an arrogant jerk. Listens to you as the client and gives his professional opinion on how to make your ideas really stand out while still staying true to your want. I wanted a Demon Hunter (metal band) logo with a sword through the skull and a Scripture verse. He drew it up and explained how to best incorporate everything. After settling into a comfortable lounge chair (I had the option to sit up, lay down or lounge), it was on to getting a work of art that I've been wanting for a long time. Between the music playing, the conversation and actually feeling relaxed, it was the best tattoo experience. Look no further than Manny of Grit and Stone for the tattoo of your dreams. Not only did he take on my religious tattoo, but also my whimsical Mickey Mouse tattoo. You can't pigeonhole the man into one style. He's a man of many abilities. The man is as talented as they come. If you have to wait a month or two to be tatted by him, do it. His art is worth it.
