My 20 year old daughter came here yesterday, 6/28/2022 wanting to get her lip re-pierced and did…read morehowever, the person named Sean, that re-pierced her lip did so slightly above the the first hole which in turn, caused the hole to become longer and larger. We took pictures of the hole and went back to committed ink to ask Sean why the hole was now longer and bigger but he insisted that he pierced the same hole. In the picture you can clearly see that the hole is in fact, larger and longer than than the original hole which means that if he had actually re-pierced the same hole there would be no rip like trauma to the area. When we asked for a refund since the job was not done correctly, we were then told that she had signed a disclaimer. However, she had in fact NOT signed any form therefore, legal action will be taken accordingly. Very unprofessional.

Piercings not worth it. Overall a good experience with Chari but definitely in the "luxury" price…read morerange. Pierced my bridge crooked 3x, and snakebites uneven as well. Even bringing in my own high quality jewelry that meets piercer standards, she still would only change out with pieces from the shop's preferred brand. Again not awful, but would only recommend simpler piercings. Wiloe was an awesome tattoo artist tho, 10/10! Edit, regarding comment from owner: this is retroactive based on my experience from a couple years ago (only recently got on Yelp) but with your comment I see your practices may have changed. Thanks!

These two Chris and Shay are super fun and pleasant to work with!!! I love the happy vibes and how…read moreclean it looks, not to mention pretty close to where I live! My roomie and I were just joking about getting piercings, walked in, got my eyebrow pierced....walked out...15 min later I was back to get a second one!!! Haha! These two not only made my day fun and gave us lots of laughs but I am obsessed with my eyebrow piercing!!! To give some background, I have had my eyebrow/nose pierced before in Vegas and a lot of shops are usually creepy and eery. But not this one. Vibes are super positive and fun. They both took their time to not only explain jewelry to me (which most piercers rush through) but they also explained placement as well as pros and cons. My face is extremely unique and I have a relatively large mole on my lip....so unfortunately, my septum ended up having to be placed differently (because I have a mole there and the septum ring was causing some irritation on my lip) but Chris and Shay are taking care of me and I get to come back and redo it in a few weeks! I'd definitely recommend them, not only for their customer service but also for their quality.

Jaime at Universal is amazing!

What won the contest was me mentioning that I wanted to get a pray mantis, and Jaime had found one on the front door of the shop. She snapped a few pictures of it, traced it, and that's he little dude we put in there. We did an olive branch because my grandmas first job was picking olives, and my daughter's name is Olive. A California poppy because I'm born and raised in Northern California. And pink azaleas because I had one in the front yard of my child hood home. My experience was top tier, Jaime was awesome and I'm so grateful for the experience. Thank you again Jaime.

I came to Universal Rites in search for a studio that had good vibes and talented artists. My first…read moreimpressions of the studio were, it's clean, the lobby was welcoming and had good seating with a portfolio of each artists work. I was greeted by one of the Tattoo Artists, Raul. Raul greeted me as I walked into the studio and quickly made me feel at home and walked me through all of the different Tattoo Artists work and booth areas. I left my contact information for a consultation with Raul and was contacted the very next day to begin my tattoo journey. Raul got me into his booth for tattooing the design I chose two weeks later from my consult. I have gotten over 36 hours of tattoo work done in the past. Hands down, my experience at Universal Rites Tattoo was one of my better experiences while getting tattooed. Raul's booth had a super comfortable table to lie on while being tattooed, his tattoo machines are newer models that don't hurt like the older machines used to and his booth was filled with art that he hand painted himself. Raul's work shows for itself, his line work is some of the best I've come across. My tattoo process was seamless, damn near painless and some of the more affordable prices I've come across. I'm excited to keep scheduling more future work through this studio and hopefully try out the other great Artists who work there.

It's amazing but every single person I asked said "Megan at Galaxy Ink." I went in with an idea, within minutes Megan came up with a design. Once my wife got involved with the colors and I threw in a couple of thoughts it was done. The actual tattoo was a piece of cake, Megan is a pro and the results show.
