Wanted my third tattoo to remember an animal that passed recently. Found this shop and decided to contact Nick. He squeezed me in to accommodate my schedule. I gave him my thoughts and we made an appointment for today to see the design, make any changes and actually get the tattoo.Nick was super sweet yet professional. His design was just perfect and it looks even better in ink. His shading skills are second to none.The shop was super clean and that's great since I am anal retentive on those types of things. All in all an ideal experience today. Read Less

Everything in here is clean and everyone is super friendly, seems knowledgeable. I got an industrial piercing done here back in July. I was told the metals they use for their piercings are good quality so I trusted that. But half of my piercing healed and the other half didn't and I was trying everything to get the top half of the piercing to heal but it didn't so I decided to take the piercing out and let that part of my ear heal. I couldn't touch my ear or lay on that side of my head for 8 months. Don't get me wrong i know it takes a long time for piercings to heal but my ear was never even given the chance. I realize how gross my ear looks but i was cleaning it 3 times a day with wound wash piercing after care. When I took out the piercing I realized the bar is completely discolored. I have other piercings from other places and i have never experienced that. Disappointed because I loved how it looked. Read Less

I've been debating for the last year whether or not to get second lobe piercings. I had them pierced two years ago but they did not heal no matter what I did to take care of them. I stumbled on Madii's Instagram page one day and decided to just go for it. Madii has a great selection of jewelry to choose from and she takes walk-ins from 12-8. She was prompt in e-mailing me back and she was super sweet in person! She showed me the jewelry she had, explained the process and aftercare. Madii also sent me off with a brochure for aftercare and more info about the jewelry I have in. I highly recommend Madii for your piercing needs if you're in the area!The shop itself is clean and well kept. Everyone was very nice and acknowledged me immediately. I'll definitely be back for a tattoo or another piercing, whichever comes first :) Read Less

It's our 11th wedding anniversary and my husband and I are getting tattoos to commemorate first meeting in 1987. First he went to Touch of Ink and they were closing the shop early because it's Halloween and he didn't want to miss trick or treating with his children. We totally understood that. He was nice enough to call another shop and ask if they could take care of my husband, Nick said yes, so my husband headed over immediately. When he arrived, he showed him the photo of what he wanted. It was very simple, wouldn't have taken long, and was tasteful. Nick stuck his nose up at him and said he "doesn't do tattoos like that" and said he couldn't help him. Never have I ever heard of a tattoo artist, hair dresser, dog groomer etc, turn away a client because they didn't like their choice of haircut or tattoo. Neither of us could believe it. Getting a tattoo is a very special and personal experience. It's something that will be around a lifetime, so, honestly, I'm glad he turned him away. I would hate for him to have gotten a tattoo by this rude, inconsiderate "artist" and had to remember the negative experience every time he looked at it. I have worked with people for a long time, and you never know what someone has been through or are going through when they come to you for a service. You can either make or break their day, and there is never any reason at all to treat someone like that. He's at Mad Dog Tattoos right now and they are taking really good care of him. I'm going after he gets home to get my anniversary tat with them! It's not JUST the quality of the tattoo, but the ENTIRE experience that matters most. Having someone who is nice, humble, gracious and personable is SO IMPORTANT. So far he's getting that with Mad Dog. Looks like they will be getting a 5 star review when the night is over. Read Less

I took my 17 yo daughter and myself to get piercings (she got her Cartledge and I got my daith). Maddie was our piercer she was amazing! Very clean, sanitary, knowledgeable, professional, and just really a nice person. I wanted my daith pierced because I suffer from severe headaches and migraines when I asked Maddie about piercing for migraines she was completely honest and said "there is no scientific evidence that the piercing would help and she didn't want to say it would just to get my money" I appreciated her honest answer and went forward with the piercing because I figure it is worth a shot.... and it's cute! . Maddi did a great job I didn't have hardly any pain and the very next day I forgot I even had it done. For all those spectators I am happy to say I have gone 3 days now and haven't had any headaches Read Less

I love the tattoo I got today! It was exactly what I wanted. Nick Manning does beautiful artwork and beautiful tattoo work! He was so gentle with me it was the least painful tattoo I've ever had. Usually the last hour when they're wiping the ink off your skin becomes excruciating, but it never hurt once. He used such a light touch on me. He was very hospitable and made me feel very welcome.

Well, my guy Evan C. moved over here from another local shop and now when I am in town visiting from Seattle, I usually get more work done if I've got a few hours to spare. Evan is awesome and he always listens to input on what I'm wanting for my art. I always am happy to add to my tattoos. The location of the shop is great, it's just west of downtown and easy to find just off of Oak St. Parking can be sort of tough during peak hours, weekends especially, since they are right next door to Jake's restaurant (the shop is located on the 2nd floor, by the way). Just make sure to call ahead and make an appointment. I definitely recommend Pretty in Ink if you are looking to get your first tattoo or to just start adding to what you have. Great job, guys!

If I could give these guys no stars, I would.We made an appointment for a Friday over a weeks notice. Gave the guy a sketch of what we wanted and he said he'd have his version ready. Friday came and we showed up, this guy was tattooing someone else at the time of the appointment and said he had forgot all about my girlfriends appointment. So he asked us to come back in a few hours. We asked to see his sketch and he said he hadn't done it yet. Meaning he was going to sketch something up fast.

Everything in here is clean and everyone is super friendly, seems knowledgeable. I got an industrial piercing done here back in July. I was told the metals they use for their piercings are good quality so I trusted that. But half of my piercing healed and the other half didn't and I was trying everything to get the top half of the piercing to heal but it didn't so I decided to take the piercing out and let that part of my ear heal. I couldn't touch my ear or lay on that side of my head for 8 months. Don't get me wrong i know it takes a long time for piercings to heal but my ear was never even given the chance.

I highly recommend Madii for your piercing needs if you're in the area!The shop itself is clean and well kept. Everyone was very nice and acknowledged me immediately. I'll definitely be back for a tattoo or another piercing, whichever comes first :) Read Less

It's our 11th wedding anniversary and my husband and I are getting tattoos to commemorate first meeting in 1987. First he went to Touch of Ink and they were closing the shop early because it's Halloween and he didn't want to miss trick or treating with his children. We totally understood that. He was nice enough to call another shop and ask if they could take care of my husband, Nick said yes, so my husband headed over immediately. When he arrived, he showed him the photo of what he wanted. It was very simple, wouldn't have taken long, and was tasteful. Nick stuck his nose up at him and said he "doesn't do tattoos like that" and said he couldn't help him. Never have I ever heard of a tattoo artist, hair dresser, dog groomer etc, turn away a client because they didn't like their choice of haircut or tattoo. Neither of us could believe it. Getting a tattoo is a very special and personal experience. It's something that will be around a lifetime, so, honestly, I'm glad he turned him away. I would hate for him to have gotten a tattoo by this rude, inconsiderate "artist" and had to remember the negative experience every time he looked at it. I have worked with people for a long time, and you never know what someone has been through or are going through when they come to you for a service. You can either make or break their day, and there is never any reason at all to treat someone like that. He's at Mad Dog Tattoos right now and they are taking really good care of him. I'm going after he gets home to get my anniversary tat with them! It's not JUST the quality of the tattoo, but the ENTIRE experience that matters most. Having someone who is nice, humble, gracious and personable is SO IMPORTANT. So far he's getting that with Mad Dog. Looks like they will be getting a 5 star review when the night is over. Read Less

I took my 17 yo daughter and myself to get piercings (she got her Cartledge and I got my daith). Maddie was our piercer she was amazing! Very clean, sanitary, knowledgeable, professional, and just really a nice person. I wanted my daith pierced because I suffer from severe headaches and migraines when I asked Maddie about piercing for migraines she was completely honest and said "there is no scientific evidence that the piercing would help and she didn't want to say it would just to get my money" I appreciated her honest answer and went forward with the piercing because I figure it is worth a shot.... and it's cute! . Maddi did a great job I didn't have hardly any pain and the very next day I forgot I even had it done. For all those spectators I am happy to say I have gone 3 days now and haven't had any headaches Read Less

Well, my guy Evan C. moved over here from another local shop and now when I am in town visiting from Seattle, I usually get more work done if I've got a few hours to spare. Evan is awesome and he always listens to input on what I'm wanting for my art. I always am happy to add to my tattoos. The location of the shop is great, it's just west of downtown and easy to find just off of Oak St. Parking can be sort of tough during peak hours, weekends especially, since they are right next door to Jake's restaurant (the shop is located on the 2nd floor, by the way). Just make sure to call ahead and make an appointment. I definitely recommend Pretty in Ink if you are looking to get your first tattoo or to just start adding to what you have. Great job, guys!
