The tattoo took around 15 minutes. The environment is very clean and welcoming. They accept walk-ins and have plenty of flash to select from. I believe they accept both cash and card. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience.

He was understanding and told me that I could let him know if I needed a break. I only took one, and my tattoo took a way shorter time than I expected yet it still looks fantastic. Cory also did my best friend's tattoo. We just stopped into the shop toward the end of their hours, yet he stayed to do the tattoo for her. I thought that was super cool of him. The shop has a neat atmosphere. Lots of work from local artists on the wall. Lots of cool body jewelry to look at. Love this place!

Terrible. Went here for years. Last week I came to get a simple piercing changed out and of course…read morethe piercer is not in. Tonight I go back to have the jewelry I bought changed out willing to pay $15 extra dollars for it even. Called to see if piercer was there first. Just to have her refuse my service one hour before close to change out 8 piercing for one person and another for someone who walked in after me. Very rude.

Chris was so friendly and made sure to advise me they did not have the small size I currently had and would need to up my piercing size.

Side note: I was advised that ear piercings are $25 a lobe, not including jewelry - a little too pricey for me!

I love Vintage Karma. This shop has the best vibe/feel/ambience and greatest group of people. I…read morelove tattoos, but I've definitely walked into some shops that, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable. It might just be the day, or me, or who knows what that causes that feeling, but you want to be comfortable when you get a tattoo (beyond the thousands of needle jabs). Vintage Karma has a great collection of characters with a lot of talent, humor, and Intellect. They're open to chatting or letting you read/zone out/whatever. The shop is accepting of all types of people and accommodating for your needs, whether they involve breaks, snacks, or situating you for the best experience. I have several chronic pain issues, so working around those can be challenging. Note: be prepared---I'm not an incredibly social person, but work from Vintage Karma gets noticed even in places with a high percentage of tattooed people. For example. I was just in New Orleans, and I had people going quite a bit out of their ways to look at and ask about a phoenix/peacock (pea-nix) on my arm from Ainslie and my multitude of works from Caleb.
