First time being pierced here (but I've gotten tattooed twice by Charon before). Julie is one of…read morethe kindest piercers you can find! I've had some upsetting experiences at other piercers, and I knew from my previous tattoo experiences here that it would be the perfect place to get a piercing. It's super calm and welcoming inside, and you can ask as many questions as you would like. Julie has been piercing for 20+ years and clearly knows what she is doing! My friends have also gone here before and all of our tattoos and piercings have healed amazingly. Pricing is available on the website is very reasonable, and included the price of the starter jewelry pictured here (each lobe is $20, daith is $40).

Sierra pierced my ears in several places. Sierra assured that my piercing was painless as possible,…read moreand she was very informative about aftercare which I appreciated so much. She wanted to make sure that the piercings were placed properly so she took her time and allowed me to see where she was going to pierce my ears based on my preferences, and I am very happy with the outcome. I brought my daughter granddaughter and husband because our little five-year-old granddaughter also wanted her ears pierced for the first time. Both Sierra and Adrianne pierced my granddaughter's ears at the same time so the experience was quick and again relatively painless for my little granddaughter who said "they both did it at the same time and I didn't cry at all. It hardly hurt" The studio is well designed and comfortable for the rest of the family who were there for support and to watch. Both Sierra and Adrianne were professional and kind. We highly recommend The Prick.

I walked in, no appointment, no wait. I haven't had a pierce since my tweens and for whatever…read morereason wanted an eyebrow pierce, now in my early 40s. Anyhow, my aesthetician was Adrienne, a young person, who was mellow and helpful, which was great because I was a little tense. We went over a few spots, I laid back, she asked for a deep relaxed breath and no pain at all, not even after. Kind of like a tranquilizer. The studio was chic with a relaxed vibe.

I went to a few other Tattoo places before going to In living color. They acted like they really…read moredidn't care about doing my tattoo. A friend just had one done at in living color and I loved hers. So On Tuesday I went to check on getting one there. I was surprised to be treated so good. I was able to get my tattoo done as someone had cancelled. I am very happy I went to this shop!!! Jay did a great job and He was very nice..... Thank you

Top class place! Kristen and Meghan are super nice and accommodating. Another local tattoo shop…read morewouldn't give me the time or energy to help me create my first tattoo. Kristen not only helped but got super excited about the piece which was very meaningful to me. She's great to work with and I now call her a friend. One thing about the place is that she has random visitors drop by to say hi. Which goes to show how many wonderful people she has around her. You will have to allow for a pause now and then on your tattoo but she makes it worth it. I highly recommend this place for your next tattoo. she gets booked up quickly but it's worth the wait to have the best in town work on you.

So many bad experiences with this shop, the folks are personable for the most part but when it…read morecomes to tattooing, I'm not sure how it's possible to have the outcome with them so many times that I have. The last appointment I had with Tony he ended an hour early for no reason and left the horrible mandala tattoo cover up just how it is now. He pressured me to start that day after the stencil he drew was nothing near the reference photo I gave and he got really mad and said if he draws it again and I don't like it he's not tattooing me today. This was in talks way in advance so there's no reason he should have been doing stencil same day, nor speaking to a client that way. I should have never returned for more ink because this is the mess I was left with. Absolutely wreckages they gave me not art. On your skin forever, make a better choice. Instead of doing the right thing and trying to fix anything they put a restraining order on me after I went in and asked for the paper you sign before being tattooed and Ericka asked if I was going to try and sue Tony. Because, she knew he left me with these horrible quality tattoos that are hard to cover and did not work with me whatsoever to fix what he did. Ericka did the vampire bat and it turned out horrible as you see. I was supposed to have an appt for her to fix it but that was nyxed when Tony decided he got himself too far in deep giving me bad ink that he wouldn't fix it. Tony should have a high level of experience and does. But obviously lacks in many categories. The lines above the crest moon (chest tattoo) I kept asking him to straighten the lines and they kept ending up how they are now so eventually I just said that's fine- The alchemy tattoo was done twice and is still not solid. Really- choose a better shop and don't end up in this position.

But it took almost an hour of arguing and fixing it to how I had already asked in the initial booking email to get to that point. I do not recommend going to Aartistic Inc in Winooski. I thought I was going to a tattoo ARTIST that would at least take the 2 seconds to read what his client wanted, not a tattoo copyist who just wanted to copy paste someone else's tattoo. I sent multiple reference photos (3) and explained what I wanted out of each photo prior to being booked, but when we arrived he basically was like "just pick one of the references and I'll copy it exactly". He even used the words "I'm not interested." I would have walked out if I didn't really want to get a tattoo on that exact day (our 11 year anniversary). Even with copying, he couldn't even at least be bothered to move one of the parts to the spot I had asked. (The sword being through the crown instead of the crown being above it) Until after being rude about it and me having to point it out in the email in front of his face that I in fact, did ask for that. He had papers printed of the wrong thing, I asked why they were like that and he had an attitude and was like "because that's how YOU asked for them" I just said "uh, no." And he went and pulled up my emails on a big tv screen and still tried to argue with me by pointing to my references I sent. I literally walked up to the screen and read off what I had asked for while pointing to it with my finger. He STILL CONTINUED to argued it because I sent the reference pictures and he "just goes by what picture I send". I said "well I didn't know you were just going to not read my email and just copy a reference image exactly." He said "that's what we do here." lol ok then say that and deny the booking, don't accept custom work if you don't do that. As soon as we walked in the door he had an attitude and was acting like we were a bother to him. Next time don't accept work if you don't want to do it? Every other tattoo I have I didn't have this experience. My thigh tattoo, the artist spent 5 hours drawing for me before tattooing it. And this dude couldn't even be bothered to read one sentence and copy paste one part.
