I came in on my birthday for a nose piercing and had a great experience! Because my nose had been…read morepierced previously and they didn't have to re make a hole, they ended up taking the piercing fee off and just charged for the jewelry which I thought was super nice. The shop was lovely and had a great vibe about it so I decided to schedule a tattoo appt here to get a little MJ piece. Unfortunately, I didn't have that same amazing experience. During our email communication, I was told that the piece would only take an hour and that the artists hourly rate was $200. The tattoo only ended up taking 30 minutes but when I went to checkout, the artist rang me up for $250 on a design that wasn't modified at all from a web search I did. I'm all for paying for skills and years of service but I was really thrown off that the total was different than discussed previously. I brought that up and she changed it back to $200 but I thought that was a very weird thing to do. Overall, I'd return for piercings, if I wanted more, but I don't think I'd return for a tattoo.

If I didn't send a message first, I wouldn't hear anything. Every response required me to follow up, sometimes multiple times. My appointment was rescheduled over and over, and then canceled the day before after I had already rearranged my schedule around it. This became a pattern of poor communication and last-minute changes. Meanwhile, I was never sent my tattoo design or kept updated throughout the process. Clients shouldn't have to beg for basic communication or wonder if their appointment is actually happening. There may be talented artists out there, but professionalism and reliability matter just as much. Unfortunately, this experience had neither. After wasting weeks trying to make it work, I requested my deposit back and took my business elsewhere.

The shop itself is clean and professional...with a relaxed and welcoming vibe...all the artists are friendly and supportive of each other...which adds to the great energy in the space. I've got a couple more sessions to go...and I'll definitely add a photo once the work is complete...but so far...I couldn't be happier with how it's coming along...highly recommend Slim and the entire Gnosis team if you're looking for quality ink and a great experience.

As you can see, this place can do some seriously sexy tattoos for some seriously sexy people. They can do big ones and they can handle it just fine. So they're very professional and very sexy and very in tune with the human body. My friend who is in porn is covered in tattoos from head to toe, and she thinks these guys are some of the best in town. I paid for at least one of her tattoos at this place as well as some others at other places, and this one is the one that we both agree is the sexiest. And the most professional too. Of all the tats I've gotten her, this is her fave. Of all her tats in total, this is in her top 5 and she has at least 50 (not exaggerating).

I have 4 piercings done by Byriah and 6 in total(2 plugs, 2 helix, 1 nose ring and 1 daith and all…read morebut the plugs were by him) and he's always been a professional and takes cleanliness VERY seriously which is very important. He takes the time to go through your requests so that you know what you're in for and he actually cares how they look as well. He spent the time thinking about how the Helix I just got lined up with the one I got 5 years ago. I ended up fainting for the first time in my life probably because I had very little sleep and didn't eat for several hours before but he took care of me and made sure I had my energy up before leaving and walked me out. He's a good man who does good work. I think I need one more before I'm done for good and will be back. I recommend him to anyone who needs to get pierced.

Valentin was my tattoo artist and dude he's amazing i gave him the inspo and he went beyond it, we talked about the place and how it would look at certain angle and position, the whole thing took 5 hours, he would give me breaks and I also remember that I came in right when he was about to eat I felt so bad :c I was also hungry mid tattoo so he offered me one of his egg rolls after that I was getting a little of pain and asked for numb Cream and it went by pretty smooth... I also forgot to mention that he gave me pasties and made me feel pretty comfortable during my tattoo it was an amazing experience since I told him I had a bad experience with the 2 other places I've been before and he exceed my expectations it's been 7 months since I got my tattoo and I just love it... i really recommend Valentin for black tattoos Lol I also decided on not doing the starts bc of the pain but hey still looks pretty sick I also forgot to add the he added better designs like the brow area of the moon and the shading !
