I was a last minute walk in & this was the first tattoo I've ever gotten. I was hesitant but the tattoo artist Juicifer/Hugo made me feel extremely comfortable. I showed him an idea of what I wanted but preferred a different type of cursive. He altered it & exceeded my expectations. He kept it professional & set a positive atmosphere. I am very pleased & super happy with my first tattoo & the service provided. Will definitely come back to this shop & recommend it to ALL my family and friends. read more

Went to this place to get my belly piercing changed due to swelling and the bar being too short from another place. Elias helped me change it and was acknowledging my feelings on the pain i felt.

I went in for a nose pierce & was assisted by Elias. He made the process very quick, very thorough with his procedure. It was not painful, I'm very happy with the results. Highly recommend Elias to do your piercings. read more

I could almost forgive the crude line work, high pricing, stiff atmosphere, unhelpful service, and lack of creativity--running a business is hard. But the sanitation is just too much. Goin somewhere else read more

Not saying all artist are bad there but stay away from Don Lino, did a bad job on me said he would fix it but never did and will not even refund half my money, stay away from this guy read more

Love going to this shop to get my piercings done by Eli! He's done 10+ of my piercings and has always been very informative about the process and the aftercare. He makes it very comfortable and he cares about his work. My friends and I will only go to him. Wouldn't recommend any other piercer read more

We came for a group piercing and Eli took good care of us he made sure we all felt comfortable and took the time to explain the process. Definitely we'll be returning back. Customer service was excellent! read more

Septum piercing, I think it was the manager, huge place. I'm pretty sure it took longer to walk to the back than to get the piercing done. (Issayolk) love my piercing. Definí recommend read more

I called first to ask if they accepted walk ins...they did. I came in waited an hour. I'm old school. Haven't had a tattoo done over 10 years....was looking to get something simple. But nowadays these Lil fools think their God and need an appointment a month in advanced. This place was BS. Don't recommend with these Lil boys read more

My friends and I came to get our nose pierced and Elias was the piercer. It was 5 of us and we did a walk in. We got 2 nose piercings, 2 septum's, 2 Tragus and ears pierced. He made the process fast and easy. Super friendly and made us feel comfortable! Definitely coming back! read more

They artist are all so friendly and talented!! They give honest opinions about tattoos and help you find a tattoo that's perfect for you. 10/10 recommend!!! read more

I wish that this app had zero stars. Don't ever go here. The vibe is horrible and the "artist" are unprofessional. I waited a month for this guy "Greg" to give me a simple tattoo. First he says can we push it back an hour, then it was can we do another day. I asked him for my deposit back and he gives me a sob story. I talked to the "shop Manager" and he tries to get tough with me. Save your money and time and go to a real shop. read more

Elias hooked me and the girls up with adorable piercings! They got their nostrils and I got lobes. 10/10! Spent a few minutes spacing me out to make sure it all longed up with existing piercings and checked in soooo many times to make sure we were all solid. Flexible too, parking was crazy so we were ten minutes late. Completely understanding and patient with all of us. Will definitely be back! read more

The service was fast and efficient, I walked in & was greeted by Winona (I stalked her insta & she is amazing) she was sweet and I loved that she acknowledged me even though she was with a client, I hate when you walk into a business and just act like your invisible. Anyways I needed to re-pierce my second lobe as it was half way closed on one side and completely closed on the other they're piecer entellect (insta name) was friendly and made sure I was happy with the placing, he gave me some follow up care instruction that were very much appreciated. read more

If I can give more than 5 stars I would! Eli definitely did the best work ever! Can't complain! I went in to get a double nose piercing and he has the most gentle hands for piercing and breaks down the process each step! Very honest on his way of placing the piercings if you are unsure and will still make sure you are happy with the outcome! Definitely coming back and recommending friends. THANK YOU read more

Eli took care of piercing my girlfriend's nose. He was polite, and beyond professional. He broke down the whole process and recommended what to use to avoid any problems or infections during the healing process. Thanks Eli much love bro read more

Would highly recommend this place. I got my first tattoo here by Andrew, it was a memorial tattoo for my mom and I love it so much and I'm always getting compliments on it. Went here again recently for new medusa jewlery and Elias was extremely helpful and even put my jewlery in for me. read more

No appointment, walked in...greeted quickly and friend sitting in chair within 10 minutes. She was quoted $60 (the shop minimum)...took less than 20 minutes...said if needed touch up would be free...the tattoo didn't really look like the image that was shown to the artist. Friend asked for lines to be thicker, and the artist just kept going over the same lines. The tattoo honestly looked like it was drawn on my friend's arm with a pencil; it looked absurd. When friend asked if it could be fixed afterward, artist said to come back in an hour. We did. He had an appointment with two other people (who kindly said my friend could go before them because their tattoos were going to take awhile). Artist said no, that friend had to wait again. We immediately called a different shop (Crimson Moon, which used to be located at this space) and went over there for an artist to fix that tattoo. I also asked about touching up a small ear tattoo (one star) and was quoted at $60 as well (makes sense I guess with the minimum, but no thanks). So, they respect appointment times, which is cool...but there's many shops around & I sure won't be scheduling anything with them. read more

Decided to give this location a try. My husband got tattooed by Tyson. Apart from the tattoo having crooked lines and missing lots of detail, Tyson has been ignoring us. He told us to schedule an appointment two weeks after we first went, so he could finish the tattoo up. We have sent him multiple messages but he keeps ignoring us. BEWARE !!!!! read more

Andrew is horrible the guy has no idea how to shade & he also got ink in my veins that still have not gone away. The girls nose is crooked & her hand is way too big for her body. Shaky lines I'm going to have to get a complete cover up there's no way on fixing this . On top of it he completely stopped answering my calls he was very nice at 1st & turned nasty. I guess because I got my tattoo during the pandemic he was lacking work so he was very nice and now he thinks he's some big shot because the pandemic is over talking about it's a 3 month waiting list to get his chicken scratch. Don't you think if my tattoo got messed up and I also offered you more money to fix it I should get a head of the line? It's fine I don't want to deal with people that treat me this way anyway I'd rather go somewhere else anyway but he should humble himself & remember who gave him business when there wasn't much . read more

I was VERY nervous to try out any artist anywhere since I have had bad work done before that I am getting lazered off I went to uptown on the referral of another artist as I was looking for someone who did well with this type of work. I give 5+ to my artist Manzur Guzman. He was amazing. I wanted my tattoo just like a picture I brought in and he nailed it! The guys were really friendly, it's a great atmosphere. They played down to earth music which was nice that I didn't have to endure death metal for hours. I would recommend this artist highly. He has a light hand and I cannot say enough about him! read more

I love coming here! Elias does such a great job at guiding you through the process. He's done 5 of my piercings, he's great!

Great piercer!! I've gotten 7 piercings here and none have ever been infected, they always look great too. And the piercer is very nice.

Always been a fan of Uptown but even more so now that I've gotten work done by Carlos! The range in his ability, never disappoints! I highlyyy recommend checking out his work and booking that appointment. IG: carlos_alcarazz read more

Shout out to the piercing guy who helped me fix my nose piercing I could not put back in. Great service

Alright so this is overdue by a few weeks but I needed to let the tattoos heal so I could see the final result... I am in love and addicted to it now. On a whim I called a dear friends who has been coming to this place for years and completely covered in tats. I went in for a simple quote on my forearm. Ended up getting the quote and then my kids names on my arm, the following Saturday I went in and got a huge lotus flower on my shoulder. It took some time but I couldn't be happier. The place is super clean, staff is nice and I will definitely back very very soon!! Don't hesitate if your thinking about getting a tattoo to come here, just be warned, after one tattoo you won't stop!! read more

I got a septum piercing from this shop a while back by a woman named "Shorty" and she missed the sweet spot and pierced hard cartilage and pierced crooked. I have had to take the piercing out because she pierced so terribly. I have had loss of smell because she pierced crooked and the area where she pierced always bothers me especially when I have a cold or allergies. I also feel that she doesn't know how to pierce very well. That is my take on it. I wouldn't go back there at all. read more

Manzur is bad ass! He's a talented black and grey artist! My husband's tattoo is beautiful! read more

My first tattoo at age 53. Shout out to Juice! Patient, painless, professional, warm and friendly. He did beautiful work.

I looked for tattoo shops near me & found that this shop was close by. I chose this place & ran with it. I went in for a simple tattoo and came out with a divine masterpiece. Mr. George Leonard was absolutely amazing. He made my tattoo experience one of the best experiences thus far. If i could rate above five stars, I most certainly would. 10/10, i'll be back for some more ink as this man's work was astonishing! read more

This is my first time at Uptown Tattoo and I was very comfortable with the shop setting and the staff was very friendly. I came to this shop specifically for Carlos Alcaraz.

Whether it's your first tattoo or your 10th, I can definitely recommend Carlos! Make your appointment with him! read more
