    Tattoo I wanted
    Pyper T.

    At first I loved it but after I left I was pissed it looks 100% nothing like what I wanted! The guy who did it lowered the price which was nice but didnt give me anything I wanted. There was no detailing and I dont even know why he shaded it when there is no shading in the OG one. Not a single thing is right about it, no lines, shading, and the shape is off. Its half assed. And it only took him 15-20 minutes to do. It was my very first tattoo on my 18th birthday and I feel like I was just taken advantage of for the money. If I knew he couldnt do it I would have gotten something else. Now here I am, very first tattoo, and it looks SO BAD! I just want to get it fixed.

    Came in for an appointment with Taylor and she was AMAZING. So professional and her art is phenomenal. She really took her time and made sure the placement was what I wanted & what looked the best. The shop was clean and well decorated. Will definitely be coming back!

    So I finally got my 1st tattoo and I'm glad I came here !!! What was meant to be a date night between my wife and I, turned into an amazing moment we won't forget. Permanent Record Ink has a really great vibe to it, the artists are genuinely nice people, my artist Andre did an amazing job!! He is definitely a man who has put in the time to master his skill. I'm very pleased with the work he did and will be coming back soon for more !!! If you find yourself at this shop I highly recommend Andre!!!

    I sent Phil a picture and he hooked me up!! He's so artistic and professional! His place is very cool and relaxing! Plan on coming back and bringing my teenager to get his first one lol!

    These artists were amazing. They were kind, generous, and I've never had a more detailed and experienced tattoo. They nailed the cultural vibe (hard to do for a Maori tattoo) with such small and intricate detail. Great conversation and they took covid precautions seriously. Flexible hours and scheduling and great response time. HIGHLY recommend.

    Wanted to get my first tattoo and didn't really know where to go. My friend referred me to Brian Kowalski at Permanent RecI called and had a consultation with him. For my first tattoo he suggested that we go small. He explained everything in detail. I'm very pleased with the results and will be going back for another tattoo to add on to the butterfly.

    My first tattoo
    Trinity D.

    Loved this place! Staff were all super friendly! Caesar did my tattoo and I will definitely be coming in for future tattoos with him! They were all very informative and helpful since this was my first tattoo and it was a friendly atmosphere and clean! Caesar wiped down the whole work station after he finished mine before tattooing my husband! He also kept checking on me to make sure I wasn't in pain and if I needed a break since it was my first tattoo. Super impressed and love the way it came out! Will be coming back for future tattoos and definitely recommend this place to any one!

    My first piece from Abigail, I gave her the coordinates & let her have creative room with the font & she executed AMAZINGLY.

    Absolutely love my artist Abigail! She's so sweet and always accommodating. I big must for me is feeling comfortable with my artist, and she is always welcoming & loving. And I've literally only been tatted by her once SO FAR. I've officially claimed her as my artist hehe. Also wanted to mention SHES SO CREATIVE! I send her an idea and she makes it 10x better! 100% recommend this shop. They are home to MANY talented artists. LOVE LOVE LOVE permanent record ink!!

    Got my first bigger piece here and was so happy with it, Tau did an amazing job and made sure placement was right where I wanted it and really took his time to make sure I was fully comfortable. Tattoo healed perfectly and I had no issues :)

    Phil was very responsive to messaging and I was able to book our mother-daughter tattoo appointments quickly. Super thoughtful, patient with 17 yr old. Tattoos are perfect. Ours were simple, but Phil's artistic ability is very impressive. Super cool place. Not creepy for first timers. Friendly staff.

    mine is on the right and my boyfriends is left

    I've been kicking around getting another tattoo that meant a lot to me during my addiction recovery…read moreback in the day. A week ago I woke up and decided it was time and came back to Ink Bomb. I didn't have an appointment, but as luck would have it, they had an open slot and I took it. My artist was also the owner, Tabitha who did an amazing job! It was great reminiscing about the early alternative bands we saw live from back in the late 80's and early 90's! The shop is amazing and clean, everyone I've met there on staff get 5 stars. On a scale of 1 to 10, my next tattoo will be created at Ink Bomb!

    I chose Ink Bomb Tattoos for my first tattoo after researching several highly rated shops and being…read moreimpressed by their portfolio -- but my experience was the complete opposite of what I expected. I paid a $60 booking fee a week in advance, and was told it covered the artist's drawing time and the appointment slot. Yet when I arrived early for my 3:00 PM appointment, nothing was prepared. After about 20 minutes, the artist showed me a design that wasn't even close to what I had provided, so he had to start over while I waited even longer. After an hour of waiting -- including watching the artist step outside for a smoke break -- I left without getting tattooed. I then learned the booking fee was nonrefundable, despite the fact that the delay and lack of preparation were entirely on their end. If the fee is supposed to cover the design work, the design should be ready before the client arrives -- not started after check-in. What should have been an exciting first tattoo experience was instead frustrating and disappointing. I reached out to the owner, hoping for understanding. Instead, I received no apology, no responsibility -- just the implication that I was being unreasonable for expecting my time to be respected. Extremely disappointed. I won't be returning, and I hope others know what they're signing up for before booking here.

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.

Ear piercings are among the oldest, with evidence found on mummified remains. While they are often seen as a form of self-expression, they have also served various purposes throughout history, including ritualistic, cultural, and even symbolic roles.

That and I've been seeing them on Instagram and they look cool. Megan was my piercer and everything went well. I chose a fun dangly 14k gold piece for my piercing as I know from a previous cartilage piercing that I need a more hypoallergenic metal. And while my ear anatomy doesn't quite make the piercing fully hidden, I'm happy with it. I'm glad to have had the consultation with Megan prior so I knew what I was getting myself into. Do yourself a favor and get pierced by Megan (walk-ins are allowed for piercings). Buy some saline solution here, tip generously, and walk away being a more decorated and shiny version of yourself.
