I walked into this shop on a Monday around 530 pm. The young man (tall, slim, with long black hair)…read morewith a green beanie on was extremely rude and condescending when asked about the work done at this shop. He was unwilling to help me view other artist work and his own: Who willingly turns away a customer willing to spend $$$ finishing an arm sleeve? Could it be because I am a WOMAN who is Black?? Ladies ( and gents) Do NOT waste your time here. Go where you and your money is valued and appreciated. The world is better off without jerks like this employee. I will be following up with management and the owners asap.

After our appt.time. If I had to pay the meter for parking, we would definitely had to add more money & time. The front desk staff were informative & helpful when showing me all the options of earrings to choose from. As far as the service, the Accredited Piercer (Marina Muller) starts to disinfect the ear & mark the ear. There was a little confusion from Marina bc for the on-line sign up form it asks what service you want done & which ear. Marina forgot to ask & confirm w/my daughter which ear she wanted pierced. As soon as this was cleared up, the process went very smoothly. As far as the price, it was a birthday piercing special for $18 each service & my daughter decided on 2 piercings. The earrings were an additional fee. The store is well kept, neat & the customer service was good, just be attentive to the actual piercings when the credited piercer does the work.

From my first contact via Instagram and then in the shop, they were friendly, professional, enthusiastic, and patient. They made the whole experience very comfortable and natural, and any nerves I had were gone in no time. This was only my second tattoo and I find the whole experience somewhat intimidating, especially after having a judgmental and pretentious artist for my first tattoo. The time I spent at Bell & Iron was completely different, and I'd recommend this shop in a heartbeat. The owner was buzzing around during my session as well, and I could tell he was also very warm and welcoming to every customer, no matter who they are. I'm sure I'll go back to work with Sophie again in the future!

From the first consultation, Joe was super friendly, chill, and professional -- collaborating closely to make sure my designs came out just right. After a marathon 8-hour session for four pieces, his precision, artistry, coloring, and textures (which I didn't even know were possible with skin art!) completely blew me away. These were deeply personal and contemplated pieces and he did them justice. I could not be happier with what I get to showcase on my body. No regrets -- thanks, Joe, and keep up the good work!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I appreciated the special consultation time she built into our appointment to make sure that my tattoo was exactly what I was looking for. I cannot recommend her enough!

We arrived a bit early and it was fun to see how big the space actually is. So many tiny tattoo rooms. Vibrant yet dark. Cool but clean. Super cool vibe. Kristie was very professional and I felt like I was in great hands. She covered how the piercing would be done and what I needed to do for aftercare. I had NO issues with my piercing post visit. Healed up excellent! I highly recommend. I would go for tattoo's as well, but cannot cheat on my local artist. If he retires, I will definitely give them a try. They have so many artists that cover just about any tattoo you could want. Highly recommend!
