Very nice people. I had to wait because I was a walk in, but only for an hour or so. Beto did my tattoo and it's beautiful! He was very accommodating and really sweet. Very fast too. It took under an hour but looks like he took his time. He gave me what I wanted and all the information I needed for after care. I would recommend them to everyone. Read Less

I walked in randomly (my roommate had been there before and was very happy with her experience) and they greeted me warmly, had a design drawn up in 5 minutes, and it was WAY more beautiful than what I had even imagined!!! In another few min I was under the needle lol and my guy Elmer was awesome. He had me laughing and distracted because I told him I was nervous. In about 15 more min I was out the door, SUPER happy with my new gorgeous tattoo on my arm! FYI this was only my 2nd tattoo ever and the first one was 25 years ago so it kinda doesn't count. They did a great job and even put on music over head for me at my request as it helped me with my nerves. Loved these guys and I will be back for another one soon!! Read Less

My first tat was here for the 13th . They were all openly drunk & high and I realized that when I sat in the chair, smelled the weed and saw the beer cans being drunk by the artist . Only one tattoo artist there was cool . Some asian guy . He made my second tat look really nice . He def used the opportunity to promote his skills . Anyway, we chose the tat and got to pick 3 colors . I chose the colors and how I wanted it on the tat but the dude who tatted my first one insisted on doing it his way . Tat sucks . The coloring did not match together the way he did it . You would think he knew how to match colors but no . Read Less

I went in today to get a new nose stud for my piercing of 6 months. The piercer was on his phone for about 20 minutes outside before he would even talk to me. There was a nice tattoo artist who apologize for the wait and for the reconstruction. When the piercer finally asked me how he could "help" me. I told him I needed a shorter L bar for my nostril and he disappeared into the piercing room. He came out with a baggie with 2 studs in it and poured them into the palm of his unwashed, ungloved hands. I chose the L bar and he took my money, and proceeded to leave, get in his car and drive away. He didn't even offer to help me put it in my nostril or anything. It was the worst customer service I have ever received. Read Less

ive been tattooing and piercing for 11 years, i am certified in blood borne pathogens, anatomy and physiology 1,2 first aid and cpr, and Fl disease transmission prevention certs. I have been here several times. all the artists were all using proper sterile technique, utilizing bags on clip cords, bottles and machines. whoever the guy who posted previously clearly knows nothing about proper sterile precautions or wants to pretend he does. Body piercing is not surgery and is not penetrating below the skin level and as such does not require the same surgical precautions as surgery. even most hospitals dont practice the same sterile practices for minor things such as stitches. do the doctors put on full scrubs and surgical gear to perform stitches? No, they use non sterile gloves from a box on the wall and wear the same lab coats they have been wearing all day patient after patient in a non surgical room and they certainly do not scrub prior. they wash their hands in the wall sink. stitches are no different than any tattoo or body piercing. as long as the equipment is sterile and proper aftercare is observed there is no risk of infection. it is however a fact that the majority of surgical patients in hospitals develop staph infections due to unclean bedsheets and equipment, it is also a fact that staph infection is virtually non existent in the world of tattooing and piercing due to the scrutiny of over overcautious tattoo artists Read Less

I came here to get an Ear piercing. I am director of safety at Downy Regional Medical Center. I took one look at the facilities and walked back out. The clean room was not clean at all. Not to mention they didn't have a clean and dirty area for washing. I dont think they even sanitize the room they scrub in. I would not go here for a piercing. Sorry but it is that bad. Read Less
