Sam has pierced my kiddos and makes them feel comfortable and speaks the truth to them about future piercings they want!

Zach did my tattoo, it was a great experience and he had a light hand so it didn't hurt (almost…read morefell asleep ), everything autoclaved and gloves to ensure it's perfectly safe/clean. It feels like the lines and shading will be exactly as expected once healed, this was my 8th tattoo and had bad experiences elsewhere, so happy with this one! In addition on day two, it's not red as others I've had previously that had issues, which means it's healing nicely. I highly recommend him. I also want to recommend the piercer (I don't remember her name ) I got lucky she was available each time I was there and was able to get amazing earrings for my previous piercings... she was knowledgeable and very professional as well as put them in without any problems. Also, they followed up to get me scheduled when I asked, I always remember things later than when places are open so it was a blessing to have them call me! Highly recommend them! My second tattoo was also done by Dogstar in 1998, they were great then and even better now!

I booked an appointment and experienced misleading pricing, scheduling mistakes, and extremely…read moreunprofessional customer service. The artist quoted me one price, then increased it by $150 after I paid my deposit. My first appointment date was mishandled by the studio, costing me a full day. Their deposit policy is misleading: clients pay $105, and if they need to reschedule, that deposit is forfeited, a second deposit is required, and only the second one applies toward the tattoo. This was never explained upfront. When I had a genuine emergency (my dog was rushed to the ER the night before my appointment and I became physically ill), I notified the studio more than 5 hours ahead. Instead of compassion, I was mocked by staff, told I had 30 minutes to decide whether to come in, and later received rude text messages. I have been tattooed by over 50 artists nationwide and have never encountered such treatment. This business uses unfair, deceptive policies and treats clients with disrespect. I am requesting my $105 deposit be refunded and for their policies to be clearly disclosed to future clients.

The shop is nestled in a cute neighborhood with plenty of shop parking. I didn't bring a +1 but the shop has several sitting areas so I am sure you could bring someone if that makes you more comfortable. The shop also is woman-owned and has all women tattoo artists. Sam was wonderful! I have other artwork on my arm so she took the time to ensure the new piece worked with my existing work and also my anatomy. Her prices are reasonable given her 10+ years of tattooing experience and I enjoyed talking to Sam as I was getting tattooed. The tattoo took about 3 hours and we took 2-3 breaks. After the appointment, she gave me a care package that included tattoo moisturizing cream and wash from Ikonik. Overall, I would love to come back to cover more of my arm!
