Had old 2nd ear piercing grow closed with a layer of skin. Reopened by needle, painless. Much better than gun. Immaculately clean tech and business. Very knowledgeable about techniques and hygiene. Wish I'd always had ears done this way. Read Less

I have learned from my fuck ups as a wet behind the ears dumbass, tattoos with girlfriends names etc. and have had work done with most of the state. And a couple from other places. I just got a very important tattoo today. And it's great. No bourgeois " we have ikea furniture, so we are obviously better than you" bullshit. No price gouging. And that's what I got. Do you want to take your kids with you? To a tattoo studio? Hell no. The rules are posted in front. For good reason. Seriously? Do you take junior to koots? How about the 13 year old girl I had to rescue from a korn concert mosh pit? She was being beat up by losers. And after I got her out and returned a few blows to her abusers. I asked her where's your parents? Same thing. I will be back to the shop. And clutch kicks ass. Read Less

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Firstly, I'm a 48 year old mother with a teenager who wanted her nose pierced. Now I'm freaking out! She researched, showed me her results, so I brought her to Pair-A-Dice. It's EASY TO FIND! There's parking!! Things are looking up! We get inside to a warm reception from their staff. Allen (Alan?) was our piercing specialist. (Yes. Piercing SPECIALIST) He began asking questions before anything else. He did not just jump up & use a gun to pierce her nose & send her off like at the mall. First ID & birth certificate is required as well as parent ID. If you don't have those items don't go. This shop goes by the law. Breathe easy parents! After carefully discussing what look she was after, we went back to a room and he put her in a very roomy piercing chair. He explained everything he was doing, clearly & step by step. He very carefully cleaned the area. He took his time to pick the perfect spot to place the piercing. He patiently waited through a barrage of teenage questions as she looked in the mirror, FINALLY deciding which tiny dot was the right one. Everything is sterile & in its own packaging. Allen wore gloves the entire time. As he began to work, he was talking in a calm steady voice telling her what he was doing & what to expect. Two deep breaths later, her beautiful gem was in. The actual piercing time is about 4 minutes! He explained care, NOT to spin it & rip the healing skin, how to wash & clean it. It has a flat back so nothing sticks out or will stick her. It has a smooth disk. He explained to clean the inside as well. They will do the first change of jewelry for you to ensure it healed correctly. They made it VERY clear if there were any issues to call or come to the shop immediately. Honestly as a mother & customer, Pair-A-Dice was completely AMAZING! Great service, everything clearly explained, & Allen was absolutely WONDERFUL. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND PAIR-A-DICE to anyone thinking of getting a piercing. They're professional, very clean, very nice & great at explaining everything to make you knowledgeable about your piercing and aftercare. Very reasonable prices & selection as well. Pair-A-Dice gets ! Ask for Allen. He's super awesome. Read Less

This place is was clean, comfortable, professional, very friendly, and very informative! 10/10!!! My piercing looks amazing! Minimal pain, as well! I never felt discouraged or uncomfortable asking questions about my piercing, and the recomendations I was given were genuine and informed! My piercer knew what he was talking about and made my experience (esp. since this would be my first piercing other than my ears when I was young) comfortable and anxiety-free. Everything was clean, thorough, and affordable! Amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get a professionally well-done piercing! Read Less

I just got my very first tattoo here with Stevie g. It was absolutely amazing! Shop's super clean, the staff is friendly, Stevie's skills are superb when doing the actual tattoo... the price is great for the amount of work done, too. I was comfortable during the entire process and had a fantastic owl tattoo done. Read Less

I called today to see if there was any chance I could get in for a tattoo. I only had today to get one since I was only in Alaska for a few more days and my time was taken for other activities. Luckily they had time, the owner and staff was very pleasant and the shop was very clean and professional looking. Steve did my tattoo and he was great, I would recommend him to anyone wanting a tattoo in his area or anyone visiting. I love my tattoo, it is my favorite one.... Thank you Steve... Read Less

I went today to get an industrial piercing done and Aaron was so knowledgeable in the process. He answered all of my questions and walked me through the entire process before, during and after. There was never a moment where something was happening and I was not informed. I saw a few other employees (and the owner) there and everyone was so friendly. They all had smiles on their faces and were willing to have a conversation with you. There was not hurry in and hurry out. The facility was very clean and was not cluttered and dark like most other tattoo and piercing shops. I will definitely come back to Pair-A-Dice for any future piecings. Thanks for an excellent experience! Read Less

Got a tattoo from Steve as a walk in a few weeks ago. I did not have a pleasant experience, and out of the many tattoos I have, what I got from pair a dice was by far the worst. I felt like Steve rushed my tattoo, MULTIPLE lines on my tattoo that are supposed to be straight lines are not straight at all. You can see many mess-ups throughout the tattoo where he was not patient and tried to do it too fast. I regret going to pair a dice, simple as that. I paid over $150 per hour for a tattoo that literally has the quality and preciseness of a tattoo done by a brand new artist. This is how little confidence I have in the shop after getting the tattoo; I don't even trust him to do the touch up!I will be getting the tattoo fixed next time I have time with my normal artist. Save your skin and money and go elsewhere. This guy claims to be some expert, professional artist and all he did was take my money and gave me a shitty tattoo, Highly disappointed. Read Less

I got an awesome tattoo earlier today similar to my dad's tattoo who is dying... And I wanted a tattoo similar to his... And I got exactly that... Especially for my first tattoo. They made it an awesome experience! I would most definitely go back for another tattoo. Love that place... Highly recommended!! <3 Read Less

This place is so awesome I loved how he worked with me and explained everything to me I also loved how clean the place was the room was and how clean he was I saw him change his gloves hundreds of times with each thing he touched he also was very patient with me and the pain well worth it though I will come back again to this business and recommend my friends I wish I could remember his name but can't wait to heal and then come back for something else thanks again I'm so glad I picked this place over the other....

These guys do a great job of making sure you know what you want and they know what you want. They did a great job of explaining all the details and made me feel very comfortable getting my piercing. Super clean and wonderful service over all! Read Less

Went here for my first tattoo experience and I couldn't be more pleased with the professional artwork by stevie G and Shadow. Great tattoo, awesome price, and style was not sacrificed by speed. Will be coming back again and again. Read Less

I had Steve do some German writing in a slightly old English script inter laced down my side with my other tattoos. He laid it out-hand drawn- beautifully. I liked his surly but loveable attitude. He's hilarious. I'd go to Pair A Dice again if I was ever in Anchorage and needed another tattoo. Read Less

Stevie G is a great tattoo artist who worked with us to make a excellent piece that was just what we wanted. Lorie is the only piercer I trust my ears to as well as my daughter's. Clean shop and great staff! Read Less

Amazing work! Steve takes his time and creates amazing works of art. I'm so proud of my piece and thankful for the amazing job he did. The crew there does a great job at making customers feel welcome and relaxed. I'mOn my third session and look forward to going back each time and being blown away! Read Less

I found this shop on yelp because I am new to the area. I called and talked to steve who told me to just come on in and talk to him about what I want. He stayed later then usual to help me which was great! I scheduled an appointment for a week later.  Showed up this morning and had just the best experience that I've had in any other shop I've been to! He did a fantastic job and I'm thrilled with what I walked out with (even tho I couldn't hang for him to finish) he was really nice when I started to get a little uncomfortable and told me I had done great and that he didn't want to torture me anymore for today lol.  Thank you so much Steve! !!!!

Visiting from California Stevie G was recommended by a local. He did an awesome job of reading my mind and taking  my idea and making one of the coolest tattoos I have. His shop has a great vibe. Can't wait to come back for another tattoo. Read Less

The best tattoo work in anchorage. I first met Stevie G about 16 years ago, and I had a good experience with his work then - he just relocated his business to Anchorage, and I could not be happier!  I came in and got treated really well by the team (GOOD customer service), the place is VERY clean, uncluttered and professional. After talking for a bit, catching up with Steve, he laid down exactly what I wanted - he free handed the design and I couldn't be happier. I cannot recommend this guy enough - I've had 30-40 hours of work done on me, by several different artists, and this is the only shop I want doing my work. Stevie, Shadow and Corrie seem to have a great team working, and I expect to see this business grow and flourish. I know I'll be giving them lots of business myself! Read Less
