In my first review I said I wanted to wait and see how my piercing was doing after having it done…read more I was told that having my helix done was going to take a few months to heal but the pain I was feeling was still surprising me. It didn't feel like it was healing at all. Unfortunately I needed to have it looked at but this location was closed on Sunday and Monday. I didn't feel comfortable waiting so I went to another piercing shop to get it checked out. They told me that the jewelry I had wasn't good among other things and it was good I came in because it could have become infected. Now I know that different shops can be biased and have competition but I did change out the jewelry just to see if that would make a difference. It was like night and day. Within the next few hours my ear started to feel better. Then after a few days it got even better. Obviously my piercing will take time to heal but the pain I've been in has gone way down as it heals with the new jewelry. It was disappointing that I couldn't get this checked and that I needed to buy new jewelry and have it changed out.

I honestly feel bad leaving this review because the piercer was very passionate about the craft,…read morebut the experience was not what I expected. First off, the timing of the appointment was 1.5 hours for just double ear piercings. She spent 30 minutes talking about the future of my ear, but a quick comment asking about future piercings would have been sufficient. It was too much. After signing the consent form, the piercer pulled out a thick binder and started showing me all kinds of pictures and scars and infections from piercings. That felt unnecessary. I told her I brought my sister to double check the piercings were straight as a light hearted comment. That ended making the process so much longer as she went into so much detail on the science of marking the ear. We did not need all the information on how she was going to pierce the ear, I just wanted it straight. At one point, we almost thought about leaving, but we had already invested an hour of our time. I felt uncomfortable trying to figure out how to move the appointment along without hurting her feelings. It became stressful as the customer. At the end of the day, the piercings are straight, the jewelry is good quality, and the piercer had good intentions. Although I just wish the appointment went smoother so we could of spent more time looking jewelry and potentially buying pieces. I felt exhausted by the end of the appointment.

Adam did my ear piercing and listened to where I wanted the new piercing and Adam double checked before we proceeded with the piercing. But what most impressed me was how he prioritized Sanitation. I think he must have changed his gloves four times after he touched every item needed for the process. He explained aftercare very well. Checkout was wonderful too, they made sure that I knew how to contact them at any time if I had any other questions or concerns after the fact. Oh, and they made sure I knew what the end cost would be even before the actual piercing so there are no surprises at checkout.

During that time I've never actually written a review before, but my recent sessions with Tim Bradley (aka Mean Ole Tim) at the Wallingford location deserve one. Tim has been an absolute standout. He's not just a skilled tattooer -- he's an artist and professional in the truest sense. His ability to translate an idea into something that feels both deeply personal and beautifully cohesive is unreal. He recently completed a full torso panel of my German shepherd, Stryder, in an Irezumi-inspired style, as well as two custom hand pieces -- and every step of the process was collaborative, thoughtful, and executed with precision. What I appreciate most is Tim's mix of humility, humor, and quiet confidence. He listens, gives honest feedback, and works with a level of care that shows in every line and aspect of the piece. The end result isn't just cool ink -- it's art that carries weight, intention, and soul. After nearly a decade with STTN, I can say this has been one of my best experiences yet. If you're looking for someone who genuinely gives a damn about both the craft and the client, Tim's your guy.

I've been coming to Mammoth for over a year now. This is my go to place whenever I want a new…read moretattoo. I always see Andrew, the shop owner, and he's fantastic. Andrew is so patient and answers every question I have about the design, placement, and size in a way that allows me to see the vision and also provide clarity when needed. Andrew is incredibly talented and can do any type of tattoo. I have also really appreciated how honest he is when I ask for feedback on what an idea would look like several years from now. I've had a few ideas of how I want tattoos to look and Andrew always gets the vision right on the first try. Andrew tends to be very available and is very speedy. I'm normally in and out within 30-45 min max. The pricing is also super reasonable. The vibe of the studio is great. The artists love to have fun and joke around with their clients and one another. The building itself is a tad space restricted but they always find a way to make room. Definitely check out Andrew at Mammoth for your next tattoo!

My husband & I are SO HAPPY we chose Mammoth Tattoo for our anniversary tattoo! The overall vibe of…read morethe place is super cool. The walls are covered with flash art and we both chose pieces that were on their walls & in their flash books. I loved the music they had playing and the overall ambience of the place. The bathroom was clean & also well decorated. This entire place is very clean & well-organized. We were both tattooed by their apprentice Hannah. She's only been tattooing for 2 years and it is very evident that she has a very bright & fruitful future ahead of her! Aside from her tattoo skill, she is super nice, has great energy, and a great conversationalist! At no point during our time did I feel awkward or uncomfortable (which I tend to feel sometimes in social situations). She placed both of our stencils perfectly on the first attempt and made sure we were 100000% satisfied with it before starting the process. Before starting my tattoo, I told her about my nearly non-existent pain tolerance and advised her of what my tattoo safe word was lol. She is not heavy handed (no shade to artists that are heavy handed) and ensured to check-in with my husband & I periodically throughout the process to make sure we were both still doing okay. I've been very skeptical about getting a lady's face on my body since I've seen many botched faces but Hannah gave me the prettiest & cutest face I could've asked for! I've also seen plenty of botched American traditional eagle pieces and to say she NAILED IT is simply an understatement. My husband & I were both done in 4 hours and the price was extremely fair. We have already determined that we will be returning to her for our upcoming anniversary tattoos. Also, after the tattoo, Hannah offered us hot compresses. I've gotten tattooed at plenty of places in the past and have never had a hot compress. Let me tell you!!! The hot compress was life changing and felt like a nice warm hug on your tattoo. She informed us that it helped with the swelling & healing process and I can definitely tell a difference! I will never decline a hot compress moving forward haha. When we were there, we got to meet the other artist Andrew, who is also Hannah's mentor. He had great vibes & was a great conversationalist as well. We got to see his finished piece on someone else and it was DOPE! When we were done with our tattoos, she had Andrew look at both of them and received his seal of approval. If you have a chance to swing by Mammoth and get tattooed by either one of them, you will not regret it!

The person who was checking the texts was responsive, and I eventually made an appointment. The day of my appointment, I waited to be let into the shop (since it's by appointment only) and while it was nice to have a private experience, it was a little strange to just be sitting in an office building waiting to be seen/let in. Once inside, I was able to select a bracelet I liked and was happy with how it looked, and the person who helped me was great. I was pleased with the experience and interaction, and super happy with the way the bracelet looked...but it wasn't permanent or even close. It didn't even last six months and it cost more than the first bracelet I had (which, by the way, I have now had on my wrist for 2.5 years). I reached out to the studio to ask about getting it re-attached and no one ever responded. I have since gotten another bracelet elsewhere but was thinking about my experience from years ago here and was so disappointed by their poor workmanship and customer service that I felt I needed to share.

You have to check in to your appointment through a QR code on the front door before they let you in to browse the jewelry selection (don't look like a dummy like me in trying to pull the doors before seeing the code). Someone will let you in and explain the jewelry selection that they have. From what I know, the prices for titanium ear piercings (I chose this) were fairly standard compared to other places. Once I chose my jewelry, I filled out an online form and waited for my piercer. Once Colin took me back to the piercing room (very clean room), he walked me through the process and explained in depth what to do and not do with a new piercing. I was able to ask him some questions about my existing cartilage piercing and I'm so grateful that I got some advice on it! My piercing process was quick and painless and I highly recommend Colin for any piercings.
