My piercer was Christian and he did amazing I am so in love with my piercing. He explained the whole process when I was getting pierced. I am also known to faint or feel nauseous when I get piercing and he handled it amazingly getting my water and letting me lay down after getting pierced. The place was very clean and had wonderful piercers. Paid around 122, without tip, for my nose plus an extra piece of jewelry for one of my ear piercings. They also gave me free aftercare saline solution and explained that process in depth. It was amazing and totally recommend Christian for your next piercing!

Sent Nate a broad idea of what I wanted for my tattoo. The concept he came up with was better than what I expected. His coloring work is stellar, especially when considering I have a darker complexion. It was also a cover-up and no one can see the tattoo that was covered up, even after I mention it was a coverup. It's not the cheapest place in town, but I believe you get what you pay for. I'd have paid more!

Went here with my partner, we wanted matching tattoos '831' on our hands. I have MUTLIPLE hand…read moretattoos, I have friends that have their own shops back in the 757. NEVER have I ever had a tattoo IN MY LIFE that didn't stick. By day 2 it wasnt even dark. I reached out to Shaun 4 days later explaining it didn't stay and got no reply. After $120 for a tattoo that was 3 numbers and speaking to other artists that I am close with, they informed me he didn't stick me hard enough. Basically just a scratch at this point. I'm extremely disappointed with the quality, the communication as a whole, just is not worth the time or money. I've attached my partners and my tattoo. The vibe was great, everyone in shop was genuinely great but this just wasn't a good experience.

Updated review: I…read morewant to clarify the timeline based on my emails with Jesica. I did ask to see a sketch before canceling. On the Monday my finished sketch was promised, Jesica emailed asking for direction, which made it clear that no design had been started or completed. I replied asking to see any progress at all, even a rough draft, so I could provide guidance. After that, she stopped responding completely. I only canceled after she ghosted me and had not delivered any work despite a full in-person consultation and detailed instructions. This was not a matter of impatience or disliking a design. The concern was that no work was ever produced or shared, and my requests for proof of progress were ignored. I am posting this so other potential clients have an accurate record of what happened. Paying a deposit for work that is never delivered and being left without communication is unprofessional. Original review: I met with Jesica Sanchez in person to talk about a custom tattoo and gave her all the details for what I wanted. I told her the idea was a little open so she could have creative freedom and show me her vision. I paid a $100 deposit and she told me I would get the finished sketch the Monday before my appointment. That Monday she emailed saying she was still "trying to come up with a concept" and needed more direction. That was the second email from her saying basically the same thing, which made it clear she hadn't even started by the time the finished sketch was supposed to be done. At that point I told her it was fine, I understood that what I was asking for would rely on the artist more than Google image so I'd just find another artist since she hadn't started. Then she told me she couldn't refund my deposit because she had "already spent so much time" on it. When I asked her to show me ANY kind of sketch so I could give feedback, even if she wasn't happy with it, she completely stopped responding and ghosted me. She never showed any work, never communicated again, and kept my deposit. I was really excited to work with her but this was completely unprofessional and dishonest. I'm posting this so other people don't go through the same thing. Be careful before paying her anything upfront.

When I brought the…read moreissue up and tried to resolve it, I was met with delays, rescheduling, and eventually no resolution at all. Calls and attempts to communicate were not handled professionally, and I was essentially left without support after payment was taken. Instead of accountability or a clear plan to fix the mistake, the situation felt dismissive and frustrating. A professional piercer should stand behind their work, especially when a client raises a valid concern about placement. I'm very disappointed--not just with the quality of the piercing, but with the lack of customer care afterward. I would advise others to be cautious and make sure expectations, placement, and aftercare support are clearly established before paying.
