Granted, it is surgical steel and not gold of course making the price better, but I was so happy to have several simple options to pick from.

The atmosphere was very laid back and calm which is always a welcome vibe for a space to me! I can already tell that this piercing is healing nicer than ones I have had in the past. I will absolutely be back here in the future for my jewelry and piecing needs!!

The attention to detail is superb and she whipped up exactly what I was looking for. She got me in and out super quick while delivering an impeccable product.

A little over an hour later, walked out with two new body mods that I am extremely proud of for a price that was both affordable ($190 combined) and well worth the service I got. Tattoo artist Miss Morgan did a fantastic job with a first-time client. She worked quickly and put my mind at ease. Pain on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 4, with a few twinges of 5 as she approached the bonier parts of my sternum, and many stretches where it was a 3 or even nonexistent. From start-to-finish, it took less than forty minutes, and possibly half that time. When she said "You're done." I was pleasantly surprised. Now I have two Chinese characters that are personally meaningful to me on my chest forever. Most important, I am certain I made the right decision. Based on the much more intricate designs on their walls and their heavily-inked clientele (which means a lot of repeat business), I don't think you can go wrong with any artist here, but if this is you first tattoo and you are nervous, consider asking for Miss Morgan by name. I could not be happier with her work, and she had a fantastic bedside manner. Piercing was done by Caleb, who does all of their piercings, I believe. I'm not shy about my body, but if you are and you want to get pierced in an area that isn't visible to the public, you should know that Caleb is courteous, professional, and very good at what he does. He helped me decide between a Prince Albert and a frenum based on what I was looking for and his expertise without steering me either way forcefully. I previously had a Prince Albert, but opted for the frenum this time, and I am extremely pleased with the result. It's still healing, and will be for some time, but the initial excitement and pride of getting this done still hasn't worn off. The pain was about a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, but Caleb worked so quickly and efficiently that I barely noticed it after a very intense less than one second period. If you are male and reading this while thinking of getting a piercing down there, my advice is to do it (you can remove them and they will heal without much notice or any damage). Professional service matters, and Caleb provided it like it was second nature, probably because he's done this many many times before. Both appointments were walk-ins on a Friday afternoon. Note that there can be a bit of a wait, since I do not believe they take appointments on the weekend, but only for the tattoo. There was almost no wait for the piercing (just 20 minutes or so for them to prep the area after seeing another client). I had been thinking about getting both procedures done for a long time, and I'm extremely pleased that I did not have to wait an excessive amount of time to get them done. Overall, this is a very professional and affordable shop, and I would recommend it heavily to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo or piercing, especially if this is your first one. If I could give this place a sixth star, I would.

The artist ( Dee) who did my tattoo assured me that it won't hurt and he was quick and carful, it didn't hurt at all only tiny pinches, I was expecting much worse. I 100% recommend coming here for ur first tattoos if ur a nervous or unsure like I was. The women who helped me find the kind of design I wanted was super helpful and kind also ! They make sure the spot u want the tattoo is clean and satanized, just omg best experience ever!!!

Awesome news! Enigma has a cosmetic tattoo artist now!!! Grace is super nice, super informative & (…read morebest of all in cosmetic tattoos) GENTLE! I got lip blushing done. When thinking of getting something like your lips/ eyes/ anything facial & usually sensitive done, don't think about your body tattoos & how that felt. Grace has & utilizes a numbing cream ( works VERY well). I literally fell asleep while procedure was being done. It's a 2 session job, but now, fully done & totally healed, I'm super very happy with it!! They don't line too much outside of the lips because that would probably look super unnatural, but right to the edge of my lip line has given my lips the little bit of boost in volume and the colors that I really like especially when wearing no makeup at all. You get an absolute chance with Grace to help design the color that she's going to be applying ( She recommended that I bring along my favorite lipstick). This is not nearly as "ouchy" or intense as you might imagine. As I previously mentioned, the numbing cream works super well! Just relax and it's done before you know it! The color seems very very bright at first, but it does mute out quite a bit as the healing process sets in. I, as a thin-lipped individual () not only enjoyed the color, but the subtle ( albeit temporary) volume boost it gives. I realize they were mainly swollen a bit from the "trauma" of the "blushing", but ( in my experience) with disappointingly short lived lip filler, this lasted almost as long & healed up quickly & easily. There will be a bit of chapping and peeling between your first and second appointment, but that's just the lips healing out. Just use some lip balm diligently day and night ( Grace will give you the "accessories") and you'll be ready to show it off in no time! I would recommend Grace to do ANY of the cosmetic tattooing she can do because I can see what a great & careful professional she is. Enigma 's a great spot for tattoos in general, now they've added the aesthetic angle the public has increasingly asked for. Thankfully they put on a trained & experienced aesthetics professional. Grace is amazing!
