Been going here for a couple years. Shaun is an amazing tattoo artist and never fails to make you laugh while in his chair. Parker never fails to make you feel extremely comfortable while getting pierced by them. I really like how they walk you through the process step by step. The vibes are always 10/10. Can't recommend this place enough read more

New Breed Tattoos - here is one of several tats done by Shaun :) amazing work every time - Tattoo Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

I have a lot of tattoos. From The moment I got home it didn't sit right with me because the clear tacky covering was all blood. I have a LOT of tattoos and know how to care for them. It never went right after my tattoo from Josh. I reached out to him about how it was infected and not healing. I then reached out to a person whom I was told by Josh that was basically St Marqs apprentice and they ran it together. I didn't receive any message from Ericka whom tattooed me 10 yrs ago....several times. I will never go back after all this and my husbands tattoos from St Marq are trash. read more

I have been going here for tattoos with Blake for a while. He does amazing work. I saw a couple other guys, who also did good work, but I can't remember their names... My only issues are that the bathroom is like a complete garbage dump, and the smell is atrocious. Also, the last couple times I've gone, I've had a long wait even with an appt time booked. It's been hit or miss lately. read more

Justin the piercer is great! Don't like Blake the tattoo artist much though. Great place to get pierced!

BUYER BEWARE!! Go ahead and save your money for the redo if you have a tattoo done here. Tattoo, customer service and overall experience was complete trash. You've been warned. read more

the facility is good but they messed up one of our piercings and just gave us a $5 discount. they also have a really bad selection of earrings, i had to get my cartilage done with a large stud because their standard earrings are silver and kinda ugly and they were out of the cuter small studs. read more

Ericka's the bomb!!!! Wow what a wonderful experience....stopped in on Friday gave ideas for my Taz coverup, and my wife and 18 year old sons tribute tats. She set the appointment for next day at 1. We showed up with our other son and she said she could fit him in as well. She went back to create his and we were in the chair by 1:15. It was very clean and we had a great experience! Bonus: She had parks and Rec on....boom!!!!! read more

Updated review: it's even worse than I first thought, I just had to take it out because it wouldn't stop hurting and got infected even though I cleaned it as directed and when I took it out I noticed how high up and far back the hole was and it's completely in the wrong spot. Fuck you man. Fuck you read more

Very unprofessional we had to wait 5 hours by being the first ones in like for the 1/2 price specials they weren't really 50% off they also had a $20 set up fee the artist only came in when they pleases then after one tattoo (less than an hour of tattooing) and was like well I gotta go grab a bite to eat. Very over priced for the work they do for it being a 1/2 off special They took a different guy (who had an appointment with a different artist) the guy that was supposed to do my tattoo said well sorry you gotta wait even longer.! Then one of the artist sat there and talked trash about the tattoo I wanted to get.. then when it was time for my aunt she said ohh we can't do her tattoo because she just had she surgery and she was healed (I work in the medical field and if I felt my aunt couldn't get her tattoo I wouldn't of taken her!!!) and her tattoo was on her wrist not her eye or face nothing like that. My aunt was supposed to go first but then they switched it to me being before her and never told us why. never going back super disappointed also with the fact that when we got there there was only one guy and he took his tattoo appointment back just leaving us all upfront so when new people came in we (the customers) would say ohh are you here for a tattoo or piercing they would say what they wanted I would say there's a list up front and you'll just fill it out and hopefully someone will be with you soon. read more

Visited late night for the first time on 11/03/18 and Chuck Toth was my artist. Overall a great experience. I think the wait took longer than the tat. Chuck said come back anytime for a touch up! I would definitely visit again when I want new ink. PS love the specials they run on occasion - half off weekend!!! read more

HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE!!!! I was highly unsatisfied. When I arrived for my appointment I was told to wait for 45 minutes while a tattoo artist was trying to hit on me. Then, when I asked to just buy the jewelry so that I can put it in myself, an apprentice convinced me that he'll put it in. THIS WAS MY WORST DECISION EVER!! This piercer who took care of me was highly unprofessional. He aggressively grabbed me by my year long healed nostril piercing to turn my face and kept pulling me by the piercing for half an hour. While he replaced the septum, my YEAR LONG nostril became infected within days and when I tried to call the piercing shop for advice they were very rude to me and told me to remove the nostril piercing while refusing to acknowledge the unprofessionalism of the piercer. When they talked to me about infection they accused me of taking poor care of my YEAR LONG HEALED piercing. I am going into the medical field and they told me I didnt know where bacteria comes from and how infections happen. When I asked them for financial compensation they straight up refused me and would not allow me to talk to the manager "because he was tattooing someone." They used the excuse that I "signed a waiver" but the waiver was not for my nostril, it was for my septum, and then blamed me for improper care for a YEAR LONG HEALED nostril. Overall I am very unhappy with my rude and completely unprofessional treatment. Note that only my spectrum piercing was supposed to be put in and my nostril piercing wasn't supposed to be touched so why? read more

Daniel did a full calve tattoo for a decent price! Excellent work! Staff are very friendly and knowledgable. read more

Came in to get a piercing taken out that i got here a few years back because it never healed correctly. I called ahead last night and was told they could take it out no problem but when i got here the line was about 1.5 hours. Woulda been nice for a heads up. Came back the next day at noon when they open... no one was here and the building was locked. Waited 15 minutes and watched 2 other customers come and go but no one who worked there ever showed Overall just really poor customer service/communication read more

I came here a couple weeks ago to get my nipples pierced. Justin was awesome, and timely and made sure I was comfortable before proceeding with anything! He let me and my friend get them pierced together, and let us hold each others hand while he was piercing. I was a little nervous that they didn't use a clamp for the piercing (like a bellybutton) but it didn't hurt at all and he let me check the markings before actually piercing. It was an awesome experience and my piercings have healed so quickly, and I haven't had any problems with them. Totally worth it and will be coming back here read more

Do NOT get a piercing done here. I got one here at the beginning of my freshmen year and 1. They put in the improper earring, which lead to massive scarring and a big, swollen pinched bump of fluid. 2. Didn't wash hands before doing it 3. The piercing bed is in the same room as the waiting room?! Head to Sacred Apple instead, it's a bit of a drive but way worth it to avoid this place. Avoid this place! read more

I have gotten several piercings here and have loved every single one! The piercer Justin is amazing and even cleaned my previous piercings and helped me take care of them. Everyone is extremely friendly and inviting and I will never go anywhere else again. Highly highly recommend for everyone. They care about high quality jobs as well as personally about the customer. Can't wait to go back! read more

I would love to give this place zero stars. Was really excited to get 2 piercings today during their $20 piercing deal. Maybe not their best life choice to only have ONE piercer working during such a promotion. There were people who arrived TWO HOURS after my friends and I, yet were served before us. They left before we'd been helped. We never actually were pierced because they messed up someone elses nose piercing before our names were called. That was the last straw. I'm glad they didnt get our money but they did get 6 hours of our time (after claiming our wait would only take 1.5 hours). Customer service doesnt exist at New Breed, but infections might. Do yourself a favor & spend your time/money elsewhere. read more

I went to New Breed for my first tattoo and quite honestly, I was so nervous. But when I got there, Daniel was kinda and reassuring. He talked with me during and he was very clear about everything. Such a good experience. read more

My dad has been going to St. Marq for a while now. When he heard about one of their many awesome free piercing deals we jumped on it and I got my nosed pierced. They did an amazing job and and thoroughly explained when I would experience pain and what the piercer was doing at all times. New Breed is probably the best place out there and I can't wait to get more piercings from them. read more

I recently got a second earlobe piercing at another piercing shop. Tonight, my the front of my stud unscrewed and fell out without me noticing and I couldn't find it, so I called New Breed to see if they could help me out (because the place I originally got the piercing done was closed at that hour). They said they could help me and were ready for me as soon as I got there, only 20 minutes later. Then, they replaced the front of my stud, screwed it in for me, and even checked the other ear to make sure that one was tight enough. I noticed that they were thorough in sanitizing everything (he sanitized his hands and sprayed the stud front very thoroughly). And when I asked where to pay, they said don't worry about it. So they helped me out for FREE even though I didn't get originally the piercing done there. They were so incredibly helpful and kind!!!! If I get another piercing, they will be my first destination. 10/10 experience with staff!!! read more

My friends and I have been New Breed customers for a while but unfortunately had a terrible experience our most recent visit. We brought a group of friends to get piercings during their $20 weekend sale, and we have done this before and have never had problems. I understand they will be more busy during a sale like this, but our wait was longer than we have ever had before and we were never given an accurate wait time. We signed up at 5pm and were told there would be an hour and a half wait. 3 hours later we were told that it would be another 45 minutes. Another 2 hours later a member of our group was called to say our group is next. 35 minutes had passed and they were now piercing people on the bottom of the list that came in after us. Another person was taken before us that was not on the list as well. We waited for over 5 hour and ended up leaving without getting any piercings done because the employee doing the piercings had to redo the customer before us 3 times, and we did not want to risk having ours messed up as well. We were all very frustrated as we were trying to be somewhere else by 11pm and that had been communicated with the staff multiple times and they said we would be taken care of. Above all, we would have appreciated an accurate wait time so we could plan around it. read more

Marq is not only an incredible artist, but also a really genuine person. He has bent over backwards to make sure that I am satisfied with my tattoo. I searched for a long time to find someone who possesses both his absolute skill, as well as his general ability to not be a complete douchebag -- a rare find among tattoo artists. All of the artists who work in the shop have great personalities, as well. They also have the best piercing jewelry in the area. Just go. I promise you won't be disappointed. :] Five stars with no reservation. read more

Had a nice spontaneous experience here! 6 of us decided to end our bachelorette party by getting a simple tattoo. Called and spoke to Ericka who said it wouldn't be a problem and to come right in! Six simple tattoos (which all look wonderful) were completed in a great time frame! read more

the employees are all very nice and talented. I was able to get a captive ball earring out for free and didn't even have to buy anything. the guy was so nice about it and the pliers didn't hurt at all! the store is very clean and professional, and I will gladly go here to get my belly button pierced and for my next tattoo! read more

St. MarQ is a true master. With 25+ yrs in the game he has a professional work ethic you don't always see anymore and his skill and vision as an artist justifies all his awards. He listened and asked questioned and created something beyond my dreams. I don't have a tattoo, I have true art. He's worth any price you have to pay. I don't have enough words...GO. read more

Don't go here. Piercer was supposed to be there at 6. We waited an hour and still not there. Customer service was crappy. It's like she didn't care he was late. We finally left along with a ton of other people. read more

Got two tattoos here at the same time, one of which my skin just didn't take well to the ink. I went back less than a year later to get it touched up and they refused to touch it up because they said the artist no longer worked there. Wasn't a super intricate tattoo, just a symbol so it wouldn't have taken a whole lot to go over it and fix the spots that didn't take to the ink. Now I'm left with a tattoo with a decent amount of fading and spotty shading to no fault of mine that should've been fixed by the shop. I can't control if the artist still works there or not, but New Breed should still honor their touch up policy, especially if the tat is less than a year old. New Breed doesn't care much about the satisfaction of their customers or the quality of the art that comes out of their shop. read more

Krist was my artist and the quality of the tattoo and watercolor style is great. I would only recommend him to people who are looking for an artist to do their own thing with the design, though. I booked my appointment having a very specific style in mind, and I sent him multiple examples and detailed exactly what I wanted. When I arrived to my appointment he had nothing drawn up and said that's not how he does things. I was uncomfortable not being able to see what he was going to do, but I had driven 2.5 hours to be there and figured I had repeated enough times what I wanted. Almost a year later, I still regret not getting my deposit back and immediately leaving that night. It's a great quality tattoo, but the design is nowhere close to what I wanted. read more
