Liam was sensational, but any worries at ease, and is beyond versed at their craft. Highly recommend for piercings! As for value, we thought it was going to be more expensive than an other studio we'd previously used, and we were happy and ready to pay the extra, but in the end it ended up being the same! Thank you Marz as well, and the other front of house staff member, who's name i didn't catch; you were beyond kind and helpful for our visit. We look forward to using you again in the future, and recommending you to any friends or family that want a positive piercing experience!

I've been coming to Slave to the Needle since around 2017 early 2018 and have had a lot of work…read moredone through the shop over the years -- enough to know the difference between a good experience and an exceptional one. 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.

It was so amazing and I was so impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted in a very nice way, my needs were heard and respected, and, oh my, what a selection of different jewelry they have to pick from, very impressive! 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.

Just my initial review, since this is my first time at this shop…read more Curtis was so friendly, and helpful and knowledgeable. A fantastic first impression for Stairs Tattoo. At first glance, the shops flash is in frames all over the shop, and it's not the typical boring flash you see at a lot of shops. It's definitely tailored to the abilities of the two artists here. While waiting to speak with Curtis, as he had just finished with another client, he took about 10 - 15 minutes cleaning and sanitizing his station. Makes me feel good about being tattooed at this shop, especially during the current state of the world. Again, this was my initial response to visiting Stairs Tattoo, and I'll have an additional response once I get tattooed by Curtis and Caitlin.
