I got pierced by Frankie on Friday evening, and she was so sweet. My appointment was at 6:20 but I…read moregot there very early because I didn't want to chicken out of my piercing! I was brought back to the piercing studio around 6:30ish. I absolutely LOVE how the facility is by appointment only, and that they require you to wash your hands immediately upon coming in. Because it's appointment only, the lobby area was clear and there wasn't really anyone out there, which I really liked. The music wasn't loud either and it was enjoyable. The facility was extremely clean. Frankie was a gem. I was getting re-pierced and I was very nervous and anxious, and her vibes helped the nerves a ton. I let her know that I have a tendency to get swollen pretty quickly and more than the usual person, and she made sure to give me a longer post to account for additional swelling. Yes, it's a bit more pricier than your typical piercing studio BUT it's worth it and an investment; good work isn't cheap, cheap work isn't good. Their selection of jewelry is again, expensive but absolutely beautiful and high quality. I wish I would've gotten all my piercings done by Frankie! I can't wait to come back and see her for the next one. Thank you Frankie!

The shop is extremely clean and well kept. There were 2 artists busy with customers and Abel was preparing for his next appt. After a few minutes of speaking with Abel, I felt really comfortable with him and what he had in mind for my tattoo. I asked if he could fit me in today and he said, yah of course after my next appt, which shouldn't take long. When his client came in, Abel asked him if he could take care of me first which shouldn't take very long at all. I really didn't expect that and his client was more than happy to oblige. WOW ! It took Abel a few minutes to get set up and then we were ready. It only took about 30 minutes from start to finish and it turned out better than what I thought. I've got a bigger piece that I want next and there is no doubt where I am coming back too. Abel is top-notch and he does hella work !! I highly recommend !

Electric Panther Tattoo…read more If you're looking for a shop with incredible vibes, amazing artists, and top-tier professionalism, Electric Panther Tattoo is it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, creative, and absolutely buzzing in the best way. The shop is spotless! Clean, organized, and run with the kind of care that immediately puts you at ease. The artists here are not only talented, but truly professional. They take their time to listen, collaborate, and make sure everything is perfect before a single line is laid down. The quality of work is unreal. I get compliments every day on the pieces I've gotten from Electric Panther, and people always ask where I went. The linework, color, and detail are on another level. If you want a tattoo experience that's comfortable, clean, and produces art you'll be proud to show off for years, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I visited Electric Panther because I was following their artist Lydia from a previous tattoo shop…read more I have nothing but praise to offer both to Lydia and Electric Panther! First, I have two pieces from Lydia now and while she typically does a lot more intricate work, she never bats an eye to fit me in for a quick and simple design. Both of my experiences with her have been so quick and painless, I cannot recommend her enough. As for the shop, it is a tiny little place that shows up big with wall to wall decoration and funny little assortment of books to read while you wait. During my time there, I observed what was a very obvious camaraderie among the staff. Happy employees are always a great sign that a business is doing something right, and I believe Electric Panther is! I will certainly be returning next time I get a tattoo itch!
