I used to visit the Piercing Emporium for years it was always my go-to spot. It had been about six…read moreyears since my last visit, and I don't know what's happened since then, but wow... this place has gone downhill. I stopped in recently to ask a few questions about setting up an appointment, and I've never experienced customer service that bad in my life. Whoever they have working the front was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. I honestly couldn't even tell if it was a man or woman, but whoever that person is, they're ruining what used to be a solid, reputable shop. I won't be returning ever.

A little while later my wife and I both wanted some new ink (in her case a touch up and augmentation to an existing tat) so we went to see Thomas. Liked him immediately and since we both had seen his work, booked appointments. So today was the day and it was awesome. We are both stoked with our ink, enjoyed the hang and conversation, felt like we met a new good friend and could not recommend Thomas any higher. For us, there is only one place to go and to recommend. You will not be disappointed. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.

He is easy to work with and considerate of whatever your design or idea is. Jessie the piercer is a wealth of knowledge with piercings. I highly suggest scheduling a consult for your tattoo and letting Thomas work his magic. I know for mine (arm sleeve) we sat on the couch and talked for almost an hour about the tattoo and my ideas for it while he listened, asked questions, and drew up designs in front of me. His original design on his sketch pad was amazing to see, but even more so after he refined it, re-drew it, and it became a reality on skin. The shop is obviously loved by its owner and staff. Extremely clean! I've walked into plenty of shops and it just feels like an operating room, but here it feels very comfortable while still remaining a sterile space. I love the unique art pieces on the wall as well!
