Located in DTLB off of Broadway and Linden, I was lucky to find a metered spot on Linden right around the corner. I was warmly greeted by one of the tattoo artists and she allowed me to visit with my friend. I only stayed 30 min and my friend sent me a pic of her tattoo and the artist did amazing work! I believe my friend said she was there from noon til the time she sent me the pic which was around 6pm (of course with breaks).

Just got my "fishing fly" last week and it's healing nicely. Ted and I had a great time during the tattooing learning about one another and sharing our world views. He's an amazing artist . I recommend Paper Crane and will surely return. Ron Simmer

In all honesty, I was nervous, but he was so helpful by informing me what he was doing and how he was going to count down once he pierced the areas. His voice was calm and reassuring, which made my experience amazing. He has been the first piercer who truly loves what they do, not just based on what they say but with their actions, too. Ven definitely cares about his clients and their experience. Ven's workstation was very sanitary, clean, and organized. The tattoo spot was clean and sanitary. My sister's tattoo artist did a great job since she was very happy with the results. I definitely recommend Ven and the rest of the staff was nice and chill. My tragus piercings healed nicely, and I went back about a month later to get me piercings and a few months later I got 4 earlobe piercings. I loved my tragus earrings and earlobe earrings too. the piercings.

Luckily for me and my cousin he was able to accept our walk-in although i'm not too sure if they prefer appointments instead. He was super patient and helpful as far as figuring out placement and font since we didn't really have a set idea of what we wanted. He was very easygoing and chill to chat with and made the experience a lot smoother than expected especially for my first tattoo. All the paintings along the walls are his and was consistently open with his journey in art and his passion for it. He gave great tips for during the tattooing process and afterwards for the healing. Most definitely will be coming back for a second tattoo I 100% recommend coming here and working with Dan.

I found Frank's tattoo and piercing shop through his apprentice and I have zero regrets! I…read moreoriginally was going to get pierced by his apprentice but we had scheduling issues so he offered to do it in her place. Frank is THE most thorough piercer I've ever had. I've gotten over 6+ piercings and he's the only one who was the most thorough in explaining everything, the process, and anything else you can think of. He's the first piercer I've been to that uses the hoops to visualize where the piercing will lay and I love being able to check in the mirror. Most pierces just mark your ear and send you off to the mirror but I love that I had a physically element to compare to! The shop is clean and has a great variety of basic earrings you can choose. Frank was super accommodating and friendly. I ended up getting 2 helix piercings near each other and he constantly checked in with me to see if I was okay or dizzy. He even offered sweets. One of the other reasons I'm happy with my visit is he gave other advice that other piercers didn't give me like switch out my pillow (duh!) and place a pillow under your elbow if you toss and turn in your sleep. Overall, I would recommend his shop and his piercings! Some tattoo/piercing places are intimidating and have stinky vibes but this shop is welcoming and warm. Thanks Frank!

Went to the next nearest tattoo shop, also closed. Went to the next nearest, Players Club, and if they were closed I was just going to take the loss and go home. 3rd time's a charm. They were open and taking walk-ins. My husband and I both got tattooed and both are satisfied. We got started at the same time and ended minutes apart. I didn't talk much to my tattooist, Rob, because I didn't want him to mess up or get distracted. So I just layed there. He doesn't have heavy hands so no additional pain. Great experience.
