Was turned away at first and told to come back later since there was a wait for both piercings and tattoos. Later on, about an hour later, got the call to come on in. The three of us went in, and we're getting started right away! The overall experience from when we walked in, to when we left was remarkable. My friends got matching tattoos that came out wonderfully, while I got a simple tattoo but LOVE it.

Also the post placed was too short, and the screw back was way too tight on the back of my ear. Had to remove piercing and be treated for infection. Staff was nice and friendly, however, it appears there are issues with sanitizing during the procedure. Won't be back!

This tattoo shop comes highly recommended by many of my friends. So I bit the bullet and decided to…read moreget my 3rd tattoo here. I went during a consultation day and talked to Dustin about what I wanted. Set up the appointment and then just waited til the big day. It was my first tattoo in 10 years so I was a bit nervous. My last tattoo was done in a drunken stupor so I barely remembered what a tattoo felt like. Lol. But Dustin was friendly and after applying the stencil, making sure I was happy with the placement, he let me know that he was going to pull a line on the tattoo and to let him know how it felt. It hurt. Not gonna lie. But after a few mins I remembered it wasn't so bad after all. The place is super clean and the staff is extremely friendly. From the time you walk in to the time you leave, there's active conversation and engagement by the staff. Which is awesome. Some shops aren't like that at all. The artists are very talented and they can do an array of art pieces. I plan on getting some piercings in the summer and have heard rave reviews on how great the piercers are. UPDATE: (9/8/18): I went back and got two piercings by Nathan. He was super friendly, laid back and has a really cool kinda silly personality. But that's what you want when you're getting needles pushed through your flesh. He did a great job with making sure I was comfortable, making sure everything was sanitary, and making sure I was ok multiple times before, during and after the piercing. He's very thorough and I'd highly recommend him for your piercings. See photos!

The interior is well-decorated and cozy, but with all the privacy you could ask for. Vanda was my tattoo artist and is exceptional. This is my 2nd tattoo with her.

I had such a great experience here! Last week I wanted to…read moreget my ears pierced and after calling around to other businesses, I finally called Lucky 13 and wow, I am so impressed! They answered right away and were able to give me a quote over the phone, Steph is so kind! The whole experience of getting the piercing was excellent, any questions I had were answered and I felt at ease about the whole process (I had scar tissue from when I first had my ears pierced with a gun so I was concerned about that affecting the process and was able to discuss my concerns and felt reassured that it wouldn't be an issue). Steph was quick and explained everything as she went, we ended up having a great conversation. During checkout they give you an after care pamphlet and stress to please call if you have any issues with your piercing! It's been a little over a week now and my ears are healing up really well with no issues.

Just like that. Cable ended up tattooing us, and afterwards said, "I stand by all my tattoos. If it fades, come in. I'll touch it up for free".

Devotion has been awarded with quite a bit of my business for many different reasons…read more Cleanliness: their shop is always clean and presentable (not to mention kick-ass music constantly playing the background). The staff is very knowledgeable and up-to-date on how to keep your fresh body modifications clean and healing up as quickly as possible. They keep a level of professionalism that is only matched by their open attitudes. I've been pierced three times from their shop (lip, industrial, and my gauges) and each time was walked through the steps of being pierced, how to keep it clean, and double check to see if it was what I really wanted. Rob (shop owner) on several occasions helped me decide on which type of piercing would look best with my physique and facial structure, something that I appreciate greatly as a recurring customer. One thing that I hate about many different shops is that they have an almost "holier than thou" attitude that makes me, as a customer, not want to return or even get a modification done, despite how talented the artists are. I've never had a problem like this at Devotion. Frankly, I think this is one of the most important aspects of customer service in this kind of industry--I need to be able to trust you, as an artist, to not screw the work I want done and I want to be able to approach you and get an honest opinion about the work I want done. I worked with Rob to get my 2nd tattoo design redone for about an hour before he started actually working on me just to make sure that the design was exactly what I wanted. (If it's permanent, no one should accept anything less than perfect, really). The prices are very reasonable and match the current market prices in terms of piercings and hourly rates for tattoos. On top of that, the work by the artists is phenomenal, so you're getting a solid investment when you chose to get your work done here. They also have a wide range and style of jewelry to choose from and know many local artists who are willing and able to make personalized and unique sets. If you want a relaxed atmosphere that maintains true professionalism and has high-quality art, check 'em out. I would give them 5 stars, but no shop is perfect.
