It obviously rubs off to his team as they are ALL amazing artists. Fernando did my full arm sleeve and the amount of people that stop me to talk about the work is astronomical. I've even got pierced here too. VERY SAFE and CLEAN environment. When you sit in the chair here whether it be a tattoo or piercing listen to when I say, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY about the quality of either as they surpass the expectations every time. 10/10 Recommended.

The issue came about two/three weeks after, when I brought up how some lines were clearly not as saturated as the others. They were quick to take my money ($1000 for two/two and a half hours) but once I brought up the issue with my tattoo, it was a week of waiting, only to be told that the touch up would be $100 MINIMUM. No. Just no.

I got my nose pierced a few years ago but have had trouble with it because I had the helix ring which as come out for one reason or another and I haven't always been able to get it back in. Several people have suggested getting a flat back ring instead and I was happy to find out the Red Octopus offers those so I went by on 5/1 to get my nose repierced for like the third time now lol. I was greeted upon entering at the front desk and I explained that I wanted to be sure they had the ring I needed and the issues I was having, they confirmed they had it then showed me the jewelry options. I picked the size ring I wanted and filled out my paperwork and paid and I was taken back right away. I had some scar tissue as I've been repierced before so she moved the spot slightly, explained what she was doing and got to it. It was very quick and painless. The shop is clean and open. My piercer, Ray was very sweet, professional, knowledgable and quick. I don't know if I spent a full 20 minutes in there from start to finish and I wasn't rushed at all. I was really missing my nose piercing and am so happy to have it back, with a more secure ring and at a size I love. Highly recommend Red Octopus for your piercing needs and definitely suggest asking for Ray.

She is super personable to talk to - that my session went by pretty quickly - and so skilled at what she does. I sent over two inspo pictures and she got the design just right with the font, spacing and even delicateness of the letters! I absolutely love it. I normally get skin hives from environmental stressors but my tattoo was only slightly red immediately after and not hiving at all in the recovery. It is healing really well, too. The business itself is also very welcoming and bright. I cannot recommend this business and Maddy enough!

Everything was clean and process was fast and easy.

Definitely reccomend both Jacqi and Wicked Goddess- her art style is soooooo cool and even though I havent been pierced here they have a huge jewelry selection.

Upgraded threadless jewelry, depending on the piercing starts about $10 more than what's listed on the site. Any additional jewelry upgrades range from $30-$70.
