I've gotten three tattoos from MJ at BaNeul Tattoo, and I can confidently say she is incredible at…read morewhat she does. Her attention to detail is next level--every piece has so much precision and depth, and you can really see the care she puts into her designs. What stands out the most is how she balances speed with skill. She works efficiently, but never sacrifices quality. Each tattoo has come out clean, detailed, and exactly how I envisioned (if not better). On top of that, the overall experience is always smooth and comfortable. MJ is professional, talented, and truly passionate about her craft. If you're looking for detailed, high-quality work from someone who knows exactly what they're doing, I highly recommend MJ. I'll definitely be going back again.

*** 5,300th review ***…read more I had spent years figuring out what and where to put a tattoo. Once I figured it out, I then spent months finding an artist whose portfolio "spoke to me." Once I found MJ, I knew it was she! It was easy to schedule an initial consult over email. I had sent some examples ahead of time, but we ended up talking a lot since I seemed drawn to a lot of different styles or subjects. Ultimately, when I saw the design MJ created, it was spot on - beyond what I could have described. She totally knew how to translate my jumbled thoughts into something beautiful. My design was $2k+, and it took just under 3 hours. MJ is serious about her craft. She was very focused, not too much chitchat. She has a different healing regimen than I had heard before, but it healed incredibly well. I took advantage of the free touch up (within 6 months). It only took 10 minutes. Worth it! Pay as much as you can in cash to avoid the credit card fee. Highly recommend for geometric, organic, moody, and elegant designs.

I've been wanting my nose pierced for a while but due to Covid.... we all know how that goes. Fast…read moreforward to today, I put my nerves in my pocket and finally did it! As soon as I walked in I was greeted (by my piercer), I explained I wanted to get my nose pierced. She said ok give me a second to clean and get everything ready. Within 5 minutes she was ready for me. Silly me for not asking her name BUT her IG handle is @providingthewave. She asked if I was nervous and I said extremely! Lol.... she assured me it would only be a pinch and over before I knew it. She was right! I feel so silly now because I was really a nervous wreck. Once pierced she explained the aftercare procedures in detail. She was such a doll! Super sweet and very informative. I'll be back in a few months to swap out for a new nose ring.

I got my first tattoo here about a year ago. They really aren't "walk in" per say, because when I…read moremessaged her she had no availability for walk ins but told me to come and that she'd squeeze me in. I go when she told me, waited 2 hours, and then was seen. She didn't talk to me at all which wasn't preferred, as I continuously told her I was nervous and that it was my 1st time. Her energy wasn't very inviting at all, which made me a little sad because it's a woman owned business! She rushed the small tattoo I wanted, I was in immense pain during, and then she charged me $150. For the tiniest wrist tattoo. I'm not too upset about the price, but my experience was just not welcoming or happy or special whatsoever. I feel like she just squeezed me in because she needed the extra money. Idk it didn't feel personable. I expected a little more since they had such high reviews. Oh... and my tattoo didn't turn out the best either. When I went to a different shop to get other pieces done, they explained that she should've spaced out or removed some of the lines in my tattoo, because it would merge over time since it was so small. Guess what? They were 1000000% right, all the lines in the outline of my tattoo merged and it looks like it was filled in. So I have to go fix that or just deal with it. :) Not the best experience for me.

Although with all the tats he's drawn over the years I'm sure it's more than 1000. Family runs this place and everyone pitches in. I enjoyed my experience here as I am sure others have also. I Will Be Back for more. And I am not afraid to wait to get quality work not quantity. Don't believe the disco ball hype of those fancy tattoo places If the owner doesn't have tattoos does he really know what he is doing? Just throwing that out there. You do as you wish with that information.

I had a nostril piercing that I was forced to remove for a medical procedure. I thought no biggie…read moreI've changed my piercing before, when I get home I will put it back in.I went to put my hoop back in it wouldn't budge. My hole had closed over in a matter of hours! My hoop was a thin dainty 22 gauge and I wanted to keep it or something similar. I called several places but no one had anything that size. I walk into Forever Ink, entrance was in the back was immediately greeted and spoke to Malakai. He was so nice and took the time to explain everything to me. Malakai tried to taper the piercing so he wouldn't have to re-pierce it but it turns out a nostril piercing can close very quickly. Well, that went downhill faster than a fat kid on a snow tube. Bummer. Malakai was the best! He was very kind and took the time to explain everything. I appreciate his direct no non-sense approach. Piercings are wounds and wound care is not something to play around with. I for one want someone who is knowledgeable and takes the time to make me feel comfortable. I don't understand the bad reviews, I suppose he might come across a little rough around the edges, but it's obvious he is very caring and wants the customer to leave happy. Everything was sterile and clean. Everyone there was so nice and the shop just had a good vibe. Cash only but there is an ATM on site. Piercing was quick and price was very fair. I would definitely come here again for more piercings or if I ever decide to not chicken out on a Tatt. Highly recommend. If you found this review helpful, please show some love!
