You can immediately tell they care about their craft and their clients. Vania was so kind and warm -- she made me feel comfortable right away, which meant a lot because I was honestly a little overwhelmed (in the best way). The energy in the studio is just amazing. The amazing Manuel Flores did my two tragus piercings with the utmost care and precision. He explained everything clearly, made sure the placement was perfect, and was so gentle and professional throughout the entire process. Chancla did my tattoo and gave the BEST advice and recommendations on placement. I trusted their guidance completely, and I'm so glad I did -- it came out even better than I imagined. This was truly the best experience I've ever had getting tattoos and piercings. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I got my nose piercing here about 6 months ago. I told them I wanted to get a hoop eventually. Upon…read moregoing to another piercing store to get a hoop, they asked me if Next Level used a piercing caliper, which my piercer at Next Level didn't. Now if I want to put a hoop in it will be a massive hoop. The piercing healed fine but they used a corkscrew piercing which is super outdated and the gem from my piercing fell out after 5 months. I would not get a nose piercing from here and I wish I would've gone somewhere else.

Black Lotus has been my go-to shop for several years now. I have never had such a good experience…read moreat a tattoo shop or met such talented artists and it's kept me coming back again and again. My first tattoo here was my fleabag tattoo (pictured - my left inner forearm) and I worked with David. He was so nice and talented, he did amazing. I gave him a hodgepodge of ideas to work from and told him the things I *had* to have in the piece - he incorporated everything j wanted and fleshed out the design in such a way I never even imagined. I'm so in love with it to this day (I got it a few years ago). My next tattoo was also with David - I got my ghostie in a field (also pictured). This was a scar coverup. This one I kinda let David do whatever he came up with. He gave me some options on the vibe I wanted and once he had a general idea, he came up with something *amazing*. Seriously, I get so many compliments on this. After my ghostie, David left the shop (and moved very far from me lol) so I decided to work with a different artist - Jarom. This was a total like, kismet situation. I walked into the shop after knowing David left, and asked who would be best to do some lettering on my wrists (pictured) and Jarom was suggested. He was super super nice. Such a stellar vibe. He made sure the font was what I wanted (and double checked the spelling lol) and I got in with him THAT DAY. Like... Within 30 minutes of walking in, I was sat in his chair. That day, I put another deposit down with him for another piece coming up lol My most recent piece here was with Aarin. He did my heart and dagger (pictured). This was another kismet thing. I walked in to go over ideas with Jarom for my next piece and saw this design on the flash design wall. I immediately fell in love. So I asked if I could get that done and when. Aarin came out and we talked for a minute, and again within about 30 minutes I was getting this done. Aarin was a gem to work with. I seriously recommend coming here and getting work done. Each artist has an Instagram and if you find someone you dig, 9 times out of 10 they'll take time out of their day to meet with you.

Every time I came to him with an idea, he was able to really map it out and flip it around to fit and contour it to my body and what I was going for. What was initially supposed to be one tattoo a year and a half ago has translated into near full sleeves on both arms and an incredible nature concept that is continually evolving. I wouldn't go to anyone else, and once you sit with him once, you'll keep coming back to evolve your own tattoo art. Extra kudos for a great artist and human being.

He gave…read moreme my very first tattoo--a full sleeve on my arm--and we're currently working on my second major piece, a full leg sleeve. Every single appointment has exceeded my expectations. Dan is incredibly talented, patient, and accommodating. The studio has an awesome atmosphere whether you're there for a quick session or spending an entire day in the chair. If you need a distraction, there's great music playing, TVs with streaming services, and plenty to keep your mind occupied. If you'd rather talk, Dan is easy to spend hours chatting with, making long sessions fly by. What really sets North Mountain Tattoo apart is the culture. The other artists are always welcoming and friendly. You'll often see them stopping by to ask Dan's opinion on a piece, share ideas, or talk excitedly about upcoming projects. It's clear everyone there genuinely loves what they do, and that passion shows in both the artwork and the environment they've created. I'm incredibly grateful my brother discovered North Mountain Tattoo because now both of us have entrusted all of our work exclusively to Dan. We constantly receive compliments on our tattoos everywhere we go, and people are always asking who did them. I honestly don't see a time in my future when I won't have a tattoo in progress with Dan. If you're looking for an artist who combines exceptional talent with an outstanding client experience, I can't recommend Dan at North Mountain Tattoo enough.

He was pleasant, friendly to our guests, an expert airbrush artist AND airbrushed the tattoos very expeditiously, which enabled more of our guests to enjoy having tattoos applied. Our guests were a little reluctant to get tattoos (even temporary ones), so it took a while to get the process going. Scott was very accommodating and stayed longer than he was asked or required to and did not charge an additional fee. As a non-profit organization raising funds for the arts, we certainly appreciated that.
