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.

I got both earlobes pierced and I'm very happy with the outcome. This was my first piercing and I…read morewas expecting the jewelry to be cheaper, but I was okay with the price after seeing the care/professionalism that was put into my treatment and jewelry material choice. Jamie was super personable and worked well with me as a first timer. We enjoyed talking about Harry Potter through my appointment! It's been 12 hours and my ears feel great and look perfectly fine. I'm overall very happy with my experience and recommend Jamie to everyone looking for a piercing whether you're a first timer or experienced. The shop was very sterile and Jamie did a great job of explaining what everything was for and how it was handled. My mind was put to ease with the amount of care that went into my piercings. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

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.

Third time I've tried to simply get service s here. I don't recommend it.

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.

The owner Matt TRIED to do a nose piercing on me. He pierced the FIRST time so high up, it looked…read morelike it was running away from my nose piercings on the opposite side. It was very obviously out of symmetry. Then, after I requested he redo it, he couldn't get the jewelry out of my nose. He used an instrument and was pulling, jerking and twisting on my nose ring to try to pull it out, because he did not know how to remove a corkscrew nose ring. I stopped him, hooked it and turned it and it came out easily. He then tried to re-pierce it below that piercing, and pulled the needle all the way through my nose, and then tried pushing the SAME nose ring through the fresh piercing, without the needle. All the while, I am sitting impressively still for someone whose nose is being shredded, and he yelled at me to sit still. While he was attempting to shove the jewelry in my nose with his fingers. As I am leaving holding wads of paper towels on my bloody nostril with one hand, holding my debit card with the other, I was prepared to say nothing, and let it go. Then he looks over at me and says "you know, YOU wanted it high up," in the most arrogant tone. I then said, "listen buddy, you ruined my nose, can you just run my card so I can pay and get the F out of here?" He then yells at me, "wow, are you serious?! I have been piercing for 22 years!" And STILL would not take my debit card. I told him I did not care about his ego and that I just wanted to pay and get out, to which he replied "really?!" After my hair turned grey, he finally charged my card. And I ended up having to go back because he left my ID in his scanner, which he also tried to blame me for. Save your nose, do not go

For anyone looking for a tattoo I highly don't recommend Matt Estock. He is very unprofessional. I…read morehave referred some people to him which is has done very dirty. Like first took me months to get my best friend in for her tattoo after him saying he would do it and then blowing me off to schedule the appointment. When we finally did my poor friend got covid he said he would reschedule after taking my deposit for it, which was a birthday gift. Well after numerous temps of trying to get him to reschedule cause he kept telling me let me check my book but never would get back to me. I reached out to him every week for like 3 weeks even though he posted daily he had all these openings so now I am out of 60 dollars he will not give back. Then my daughter inlaw schedule a tattoo with him 2 weeks ago paid her deposit then 2 days before her appointment she calls to double check her time and he tells her he is canceling her appointment. Come to find out he canceled it to put someone else in her spot then tried to refuse her deposit. If your thinking of him for ur tattoo I would highly recommend someone thats not shady. He is also very rude
