Kay has and always will be my go-to gal for piercings. Best in town, hands down!! I have my lobes, tragus, conch, and helix. She is the best at explaining the whole process and makes sure you're feeling good from start to finish. She works with your ear/body anatomy to curate the best look for you. Seriously, the best!! read more

had Kay do my doubles and cartilage piercing. super professional, and the easiest piercing healing I've ever had. would definitely recommend! read more

I went to get a tattoo from them today. Just a semicolon and I was tattooed by Morgan who's new. She was amazing. Gentle handed, thorough and most importantly a great artist. I can't wait to go back to her and get my 6th tattoo which I know she will be amazing at. Great staff, really clean shop. Like cleaner than Covid standards. I highly recommend them. read more

Kay did a great job with my septum piercing. Walked me through each step along the way and once we got started, it was so quick and smooth. I then waited for a walk in opening with Jason for a simple and quick tattoo. There was very little communication at that point, but mostly because he was busy. When he got started on my piece I was in and out and he was a funny guy. read more

I don't remember the piercers name but she didn't even pierce my medusa right. Took her two times.. I wouldn't recommend her.

Came here to get my septum jewelry switched out and will not be going back. When my friend and I first arrived we stood around for about 3 minutes before someone said hello. Not a huge deal, but neither of us had been there before. Then Erik the piercer stepped out and asked what he could help with. Told him we wanted some jewelry switched out, said he'd be with us in a few. Cool, we looked around for awhile while we waited. When he got to us and showed us our jewelry options. I asked what type of metals they offered because I've had piercings reject from certain types. He told me I didn't need to worry about metal allergies. Well that didn't answer my question and made me uncomfortable that he wouldn't tell me. I settled on one that he handcrafted himself. He also yelled at me for touching my lobe piercing (It's a nervous tick & I've had them for 15+ years, but I get it, germs) This should have been a sign for me to turn around. When he brought us in the back to do the switching, all went smooth. No complaints there. I asked what size my septum was pierced at, so I would know for future jewelry purchases. He told me it was pierced at a 16g, but he put a 18g in because "I know what gauge to put in a septum." He also told me I should never buy online, only from the store! I get promoting your business, but don't be offended when I ask a simple question. Very angry that he put in a different gauge than what was originally pierced. I had already purchased new jewelry to put in a few weeks prior (I assumed the gauge size and was correct) and now I can't use any of them because he switched the gauge WITHOUT TELLING ME FIRST. The new jewelry he put in looks terribly crooked and is way too big hoop-wise and just looks insanely awkward on my face now. I should have just kept my original one in. The place looked clean, cool location, but overall I would not recommend this place to any of my friends unless they want to be disappointed. read more

got my nose repierced after having it out for 8 months, super simple job and the piercer I can't remember her name, was so damn rough on my nose and I don't even remember her cleaning the area before puncturing the scar tissue. I have had a total of 8 different piercings before (ears, tongue, naval, nose, etc) and her putting in my stud was the most painful piercing I've had yet. the place otherwise was clean, but she ruined the experience for me. I tipped her because I'm a nice person, but I hope she realizes she doesn't have to be rough as shit to get a stud into it's corked form. can't imagine her doing that to another person somewhere that's not full of cartilage. read more

Tried two days to just make an appointment. Followed their instructions by messaging through Facebook and was told I'd get a confirmed time back. Wrote again a few hours later and was assured again I'd get a message back. Next day called in and they took my name and number and assured someone would call me back. Never heard from anyone. Giving them two stars because the artists work looks great on the site, just wish I could have gotten in. Maybe try a new scheduling system? read more

I am disappointed. TL;DR - Waited 2 hours for a 3 minute tattoo we called ahead for and it's not even done well. Other clients came and went in the time we waited. Not very clean environment. My husband and I decided on a whim to get tattoos. We called ahead early on a Saturday morning and were told there would be an artist available for us at 3:30. So, we arrived a little before the scheduled time, but had to wait 30 minutes for the artist. No big deal. We did schedule on a Saturday. We were brought back to a room with computers to design the tattoos. Mine was a simple quote. The artist proceeded to choose fonts for me. I would have liked the option to choose the font I preferred and then have him provide input on sizing and whether or not he felt it was appropriate for placement and aging/wear. Instead, I felt pressured to like fonts he chose. In the end, I decided to go with a different tattoo because 1) he said my first choice was not practical in a small size and 2) I didn't like the font. I had brought 2 back ups, a quote and a design. I went with a quote on my wrist in a super simple font. We then proceeded to sit in this back room for 40 minutes while the artist wandered about the shop, not keeping us informed at all. Other staff seemed confused as to why we were sitting around. This back room also had dirty Tupperware and dishes strewn about. We considered leaving. To make the situation even more frustrating, a woman walked in off the street looking for a tattoo. One of the artists brought her back and left her alone with the computer to design what she wanted; her son's names if I remember correctly. (Note, she also ended up getting her tattoo and leaving before I got mine). Finally, our artist informed us that his machine had broken...twice. A reassuring thought when about to get tattooed. It took another 20 minutes for him to get me set up at his station (where it appeared his machine malfunctioned again). I should have left. The tattoo itself took 3 minutes and is unimpressive. Definitely not worth $80. I will post a picture, but you can see that the first 'v' is too high and thicker than the other letters. It's not easy to see in the picture, but the second 'v' and the 'd' have some funky looking lines, too. It wouldn't bother me so much if I hadn't waited almost 2 hours for it. My husband, on the other hand, got a great tattoo. Our artist actually gave him to another artist (Nando) so he could get what he wanted; our artist said he felt uncomfortable giving a tattoo with the detail my husband wanted. I am only giving three stars because of Nando and his willingness to help out. I would only be willing to try this place again with another artist and an appointment scheduled way in advance. read more

I was a walk in and I got an artist named Nik and he was awesome! He was so kind and patient. He made several different sizes for the tattoos that my friend and I got.

Sense they won't post my review on Facebook I'll tell my story here..... Let me start and say please don't go to Asher.. I was getting a cover up all around horrible experience!!!! Mainly on my last session. My first session I went in and seen my design she had drawn up and I liked it it had everything I wanted and asked for but I didn't want it to go around my leg so I told her that and I told her I wanted it to go Down my leg so she went on google and printed out a bunch of flowers and took 3 1/2 hours to place them ( which I didn't get charged for) and by the end of it and looked at it it was completely purple so I couldn't even see what the tattoo was so I figured everything was in there and that it looked good. That was a mistake. So she did the lines I paid her and left. Then I actually seen the tattoo and I got ahold of her before my next session and told her that everything wasn't in it and sent her a picture of what was missing and she said she would add it! Mind she had a huge spot to put it in because one side of my leg wasnt Symmetric to the other. When I got there I asked her about the banner the main part in the tattoo and she told me not to worry she would put it in later. So I believe her! That was my second mistake. And she asked me if I wanted it all color or black and white and I told her I wanted the flowers black and white and the humming birds color and told her the colors I wanted, and she told me that people don't do that because it contrasting styles and that it either had to be black and white or color. So I told her ok I wanted color. So she redid every line and colored two flowers and charged me another 280. Before my third session I asked her what this random diamond was she added at the bottom and she told me that she would have to look at it so I sent another picture and she said oh it's part of the contrast of the final design so when I got to my third session the first thing she said is I figured out what I was doing with the diamond and I will fix it today and told me she was going to do color on the inside and black and white on the outside.( I thought that couldn't be done) Little did I know it was all fucked up from there not only did she add a bigger random diamond she didn't do anything to the existing one she told me she was fixing! When I seen it I was crushed I went to other tattoo artist to get a second opinion on what could be done for it and they both told me another cover up! I cried my eyes out hearing that not only have I already paid over $800 other people think the only way to get it fixed was to cover up the cover up that was the hole back of my leg. But the stupidity I have I went back because she said I was going to be done and everything was going to blend together and look great. So I went for my final session and as soon as I got there I asked her what this random black patch was in the middle of everything and she told me it was the back ground and it had to be like that so the colors could pop. So she did the background and finished the flowers and put some random dots on the outside of the diamond no shading or black and white or anything she did no highlights in the flowers or the background and said ok I'm done and I looked at it and my heart absolutely broke and she told me it would be 310 and -50 for the deposit so it came out to $$260 so I paid her and I only spent 2 hours and 20 min and we took one break and in the middle a lady came in and she stopped for about 15 20 minutes to do her consultation. That she made me pay for! Well after I left I was thinking about it that and I text her and told her I had a question about how much I paid and she came up with three different prices after that and was like oh I over charged you by $59 and said I could come get it and that it would be on the front counter in an envelope so I went and got it and she texted me later saying I stole her change for a $50 And I texted her back and said I took the money in the envelope you gave me and that I never even understood her math. Long story short the banner the main part of the tattoo never got put it and my design was lost and it was nothing like I wanted she didn't take my opinion into any part of my tattoo! All I wanted was a simple tattoo of flowers and hummingbirds for my grandma that's all I wanted and she had to make everything complicated and I paid over $1200. read more

We recently had my 7-year-old daughter's ears pierced at Vishnu Bunny Tattoo & Piercing. Amie was amazing. She was extremely professional all while being very personable. She went out of her way to make my wife and I feel at ease and answered all of our questions before we were able to think of them ourselves! Most importantly she made my 7-year-old daughter feel extremely comfortable from start to finish. During the dry run trough without a sharp needle, she did such a great job that when it was time for the real thing my daughter didn't even want to hold my wife or my hand let alone sit with her. I know there are cheaper options for piercings but I would not entertain those options for 1 second now that we have experienced the great work Amie does. Plus the technique and equipment Amie uses are far superior compared to the piercing gun in the hands of an inexperienced mall employee who as well-meaning as they might be should not be putting holes in people's bodies! If you are needing a piercing and especially if you are getting your first or have a child getting their first piercing I strongly recommend you contact Amie at Vishnu Bunny Tattoo & Piercing! read more

My husband and I stopped in to take a look at some portfolios because I'm wanting a new tattoo and wanted to see each artists style. They weren't all that great. Only one portfolio was nice. We were not greeted or helped or acknowledged. There were artists just sitting around bored. When we saw the portfolio that was nice my husband addressed an artist and said "is this your portfolio? It's nice" and the artists just says "yup" and walks away. We left and felt upset. They had attitude and didn't try to help us out. They lost business. read more

My friend and I went in to do an arm piece. They had a cancelation so they fit us in right away. It was my first tattoo and Jeff and the rest of the staff were so nice and made me feel so at home. I'm a drummer so I got a watercolor inspired cartoon of animal the drummer from the muppets. Jeff helped me pick the size, shape, and positioning. We were in and out in about an hour and a half. Quick and painless: well there was a little pain but as much as you'd expect getting a tattoo. I am definitely going back! read more

This is where I suggest to get any sort of tattoo work done. I just finished getting two additions of gorgeous work onto my body. My lovely artist, Ron, comes from Colorado about twice a year to do some amazing work. He has been my go to artist for 2 years now and I have always been more than happily satisfied with his work. It's always been about what I want in my artwork. I give Ron the general idea of what I want and he produces more than I even imagined and I never have any complaints! One of my sessions about a year ago, I was freezing in the shop and they went as so far to knock up the degrees a couple notches so I was comfortable. Thanks to this shop, I have formed an incredible bond with my artist and I can't imagine going to anyone else ever again! 7 of my lovely tattoos have been done by Ron and I can't wait to get more. I never knew I would enjoy the pain in beauty until I became his client. This place is hands down, one of the best and most favorite shops of mine on Phillips Ave. read more

I had gotten a very simple tattoo here by an older gentleman with white hair. I cannot remember his name as this was a year ago but man oh man, he messed up big time. I got a sun. Stick drawn sun. Easy. Simple. I guess not. There are spots where he could have used more ink and the circle is a bit wobbly. One one is twice the width of the others. I do not recommend this place. He was nice but that is the only reason I'm not 1 starring this place. Thumbs down! read more

Ok, I did it. I came back for a tattoo, I gave this shop with such gleaming reviews another go. They couldn't ALL be reviews by friends or family of the owner ... But Ugh. I'm sure you can guess how I feel about this tattoo as well. The customer service was chill, the place reasonably clean, but looks like a metal heads wet dream with the paint scheme and the skulls and basic decor, late 90s version of emo goth. The man who did my tattoo was a nice guy, nothing bad to say about his personality. One skill though... He didn't do a proper consult on my tattoo, and took liberties to assume what I wanted. (Shaded or lined, considering that's a major part of your job, one should ask. ) I (for an over priced $80 dollars) got a word, the letters aren't straight and the word bellows/trumpets out at the end. Attached I also got your ever so generic lips as a tattoo as well, and wanted them lined not shaded, he started shading it and I had to stop him before he went too far to stop. So, I've got the top lip looking like a mess and the end result of my sister's lip tattoo (who got the fully shaded version) looks like a big 2 year olds lip kiss Koolaid stain on her arm. Let me tell you what I know about jobs that require consultations (I've been doing mine for 15 years.) . If you've been doing it long enough, you know the right questions to ask, and you always ask questions to clarify, no matter the assumption. So this guy was either green, or lazy. Quality tells in the people you hire and the work they do. So far we're 2 for 2. Thumbs down. For something permanent with a little wisp of talent, check out the bald guy in the front of the shop directly behind the front window or another shop all together. Sorry! read more

My friends and I stopped in on a whim, not EXACTLY sure of what we wanted, but we had a general idea. The shop was clean, friendly, and exactly what we needed. Sierra is an actual ANGEL on this earth and was extraordinarily patient, and made certain we all had exactly what we wanted and what was going to look best for the long haul. I would highly recommend Sierra for all of your script tattoo needs, and anyone going to get a tattoo for the first time. She made this an amazing experience for us all! read more

Myself and four girlfriends spent an afternoon getting some new ink and I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. We have each had tattoos before so we know how the artists can run late, take many breaks, etc. We arrived at noon for our appointment and Jeff "effay" was ready for us within five minutes! He allowed us all to come back in his room and watch each other and was super friendly. He helped each one of us with our designs and worked through the afternoon with a short lunch break. I cannot say enough good things about this place or Jeff. One of the best tattoo experiences I've had (I've had ink done at 6 other places)! If you need new ink visit Vishnu Bunny (and Jeff)! read more

I love this place. The artists who work here are incredibly talented, artistic and all-around down-to-earth kickass dudes. Every piece that me and my bandmates have gotten here turned out so rad! Jeff, Dale and Ron are out of this world nice, and willing to work with you on your design, or come up with a brand new piece just off of your concept. Reasonably priced, comfortable atmosphere, always great tunes playing over the system, air-conditioned and right on the downtown Sioux Falls strip-close to food, drinks and outdoor smoking area right outside the shop! Can't wait to come back and get more work done! read more

I will never go to Vishnu Bunny again for piercings. I'm fuming here. First off, I left a message for one of the piercing guys asking if they could remove my daith piercing since I had a upcoming surgery. After receiving nothing but silence on Wednesday and Thursday, I decided to leave a message for the second dude asking the same simple question. He did respond, however, after explaining why several times, I was repeatedly told I should just leave it in and go sign a waiver at the hospital. Why would I risk leaving in a piercing that could potential cause a serious problem? After getting some advice, I went to The Electric Crayon who not only didnt ask any questions as to why i needed it out, but they assisted me with ease. And for a perk, no charge. To top off my glorious day, found out that the gage Vishnu used WAS THE WRONG SIZE. Fucking too big. No wonder I've had so many issues with it. read more

RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME! I have been looking for quite sometime for a new artist to finish up my sleeves and I'm keeping it strictly black and shading, working around prior arm tattoos. I was told Jeff Mann's ability, especially the black, grey, and shading work, was amazing. So I called and just 2 weeks later he started on my forearms and he was extremely patient with my requests as well as making sure that the sizes, angles,etc. would be pristine for where I wanted the placement of the art to be tattoo'd as well a giving great advice for small changes an even free handing some of the art that we couldn't get quite right on the computer. After we were both comfortable with everything he did an AMAZING job with the tattoo, as well with the art he tattoo'd on me the fallowing weeks later which was very small intricate scripture that had to fit in a very small, tight spot which he had to modify and tweak on the computer to match the other arm, but again he was extremely patient with my request and again gave his advice on fonts, styles, etc. so that it would still be pop, and yet still very legible, and again his tattooing was amazingly smooth and extremely bold! His work really is amazing and makes me feel ridiculously comfortable through the entire process and I plan to continue to schedule with him until I'm done with my sleeves and other pieces! I'd highly recommend Vishnu Bunny!! read more

I set up an appointment with Dale a month ago for May 23 at 1:00pm. I arrived early, met with Dale who informed me that I was suppose to be there last Tuesday. I informed him that it was indeed set for today. He said that he tried to call me, I informed him that he did not call me. He finally brought up our emails back and forth and I was actually scheduled for today at 1:00pm. He said, well, I tried to call you. I said no, you didn't, my phone is my business phone and I ALWAYS answer it. He brings up another section of his Ipad and reads a phone number to me, not my phone number. He never apologized, never said I'm sorry, I screwed up. In fact he acted like it was my fault for not showing up on a day when I didn't have an appointment. If this is his attitude toward business and customer service I'm glad that things transpired as they did because I don't want someone with such a careless attitude working for me. Avoid Vishnu, stay the hell away from Dale. read more

I accompanied my sister here to get some ear piercings for her birthday, and we were greeted with great customer service when we approached the counter from Erik. He was super helpful and informative when going over the jewelry and helping my sister decide what she wanted to have done. I took a few pictures of her sitting on the table, and started to wander away and look at the jewelry and other things in the shop while my mom, brother, and girlfriend watched. All of a sudden I heard Erik yelling at my brother (who just turned 10), at first I thought he was joking with him, but realized by the tone and volume of his voice that he was reprimanding him. I thought he had done something serious to be spoken to in this manner! I was able to hear Erik say, "You need to delete that. You need to delete that right now." I found out my brother had been recording my sister getting her ear pierced, although she was laying away from us and we could not see anything, even with him reaching the phone high to get a better angle. Apparently, they do not allow recording in this shop, and had we known this he would not have been allowed to do it. Alas, he is a 10-year-old boy who thought Erik was cool and what he was doing was cool and wanted to capture that moment. He was not going to do anything malicious with it, and definitely did not deserve to be spoken to that way. It could have been handled a lot better by Erik. Yelling so the whole shop could hear was unnecessary, especially at a child. It's unfortunate because he does great work with his piercings and my girlfriend has had two tattoos done here, which have turned out great. I have experienced some other unprofessional encounters in this establishment, but I have always brushed it off as something to expect in that kind of environment. At the end, my mom did tell Erik she didn't appreciate him yelling at her son, and then he countered back saying he didn't yell at him. At least three of us in our party agreed he was yelling and two of my friends who happened to be in the shop getting tattoos also heard him yelling, so for him to try and argue about this was very unprofessional. I'm sure most parents would not appreciate someone yelling at their child for doing something they didn't know wasn't allowed. I understand that you guys want to maintain the integrity of your establishment and the work that you do, but now I have lost my respect for Vishnu. I will never go back and will never recommend this place to anyone based on this experience. I think this rule should be made very apparent, I'm sure we were not the first ones to make this mistake, and we will probably not be the last. If it does happen again, I would suggest approaching the person and saying, "I'm sorry we don't allow recording, so if that's what you're doing could you please delete it? Take all the pictures you want, though!" Definitely don't yell or be confrontational about it, and never speak so horribly to a child, no matter what. Completely uncalled for. read more
