My friend and I recently came here to get piercings done. We came in as walk ins and were immediately helped at the front desk. In addition we were impressed at the level of cleanliness they had provided in their shop. It seemed as though they has taken great care in making sure customers were comfortable and felt at home, while still maintaining professionality. Mark was the best! He went through the steps of the piercing and made sure we both knew exactly what was going to happen. He made us both feel extremely at ease, even as piercing newbies.Overall the experience was exceptional. I would recommend this shop to everyone! Read Less

Mark is amazing! I went in with a partially healed daith piercing due to jewelry being left out for too long. Not only was Mark able to get it back in without re-piercing, he didn't charge me anything. He said he was just happy that he was able to help me! I really appreciated that and will be going back to Mark for all my future piercing needs! Read Less

Went to Nighthawk with my 12 year old daughter to get our ears pierced. Mark greeted us the minute we walked in with a huge smile and walked us through the process. When it came time to do the piercing, he was super friendly, very relaxed and prepared. The piercings went really fast as we chatted. We were provided with a handout explaining proper aftercare for our piercings. The shop is very clean, without feeling cold and sterile. We did not make appointments, and were taken in right away. It has now been almost a week and our ears feels great.... No pain or redness and we love the look of our piercings. We're already talking about going back for another one! Read Less

Recently got my earlobes pierced and my friend's cartilage by Mark! Mark was amazing, calm and very reassuring the entire time, even with me being super nervous. The piercing process was very smooth and the new needles used were disposed of immediately in a sharps container. The place itself was very clean and organized. It took maybe 20 or so minutes for each of us, so very efficient! We were also given thorough aftercare instructions. The price fit the quality of service and cleanliness. Would recommend to anyone getting a piercing! Read Less

It was my first time ever walking into the shop and it was very clean, staff was super friendly and discussed my piercing with me while I was waiting for Mark. He is the nicest guy! He made me feel really comfortable and at ease with getting my septum done (which was something I was supremely nervous and anxious about). I will definitely be going to him for all my future piercing needs! Prices are fair and everything including payment options are displayed right when you enter the shop - the transparency is much appreciated! Definitely a new recommendation I'll always be making to anyone who'll listen. Read Less

I only have experience with the piercer and I must say I adore Mark! He made me incredibly comfortable with everything and is such a nice person to talk to!

This place is the most amazing tattoo parlour I have ever attended. They focus on everything to the cleanliness of their gloves. They are will to do virtually any tattoo but will never do any racist or gang related tattoo. They like to keep their customers happy. The atmosphere really makes you feel like you are in more than just a tattoo parlour. The employees there are very down to earth and always are friendly to their customer. I have going to night hawk tattoo my whole life and have been more than satisfied with all my tattoos done. They will always make sure that you will never regret your decision with the tattoo by asking if you are sure this is the smartest decision. I have recently gotten a tattoo removed from my younger days. They offered me a discount because I wasn't able to afford the process. They discounted me because it was a offensive tattoo I got in my younger days!Overall this joint is an amazing place! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Read Less

It was a terrible experience Firstly when I asked to have my tattoo done the girl at the desk was discustingly rude to me and the artist (even though she saw me) didnt give me the time of day-not even to introduce herself They said she needed 2 days to draw my tattoo up even though the drawing was already done; and 10 minutes before my apt the girl at the desk calls me and says the artist cant to it to either wait when she is ready or pick up my art and go somewhere else. So thats what I did, my friends and I went to pick up my drawing; rudely ignored and not even as we were leaving the girl at the desk started talking about me to another worker. As my first tattoo and as professional place I would have expected a little more repect coming in and leaving. Needless to say was not at all a nice experience and wouldnt go back Read Less
