JEFF PLUNKETT STOLE my $130 deposit and never got back to me. The first time we scheduled he texted me that he was sick the same day.. and I said it was OK so we rescheduled for the following Friday. However when the following Friday arrived he was MIA. After multiple calls he told me to never call him again and still hasn't given me back my deposit. I got one piece done by Jeff Plunkett and he's a THIEF and extremely rude. Read Less

Their piercer fucked me up, I don't know how well he is with other piercings but DO NOT get your tongue pierced with him. He didn't use the proper equipment, he used some cheap plastic clamps that you can get in a amazon piercing kit. He put in a much smaller barbell which left zero room for swelling, and my tongue was swelling over the piercing. He also didn't ask about the placement (it's not centered), and he didn't warn me when he was going to pierce me. Once he was done I wanted to ask about aftercare, what special instructions I should follow and he was outside on his phone. I recommend going elsewhere if you want a good piercing. Read Less

I wanted my nose pierced  and yelped where to go.  They had the best ratings on yelp in my area.  I also made a phone call to check prices and ask other pertinent  questions.  All my questions  were  completely answered,  there was no rush in trying to  get me off the phone.  I went there  and first off the place is CLEAN!.. very clean and smelled clean.  The  artist (JD i think)  immediately  addressed  my needs and answered my questions. I was taken to a room and made to feel comfortable. I had no second thoughts about this place.  My nose was pierced in the perfect spot and info was given about after care. I would highly recommend this place and would return. Read Less

After a long time researching places on getting a piercing that would help me with my horrible migraines I decided to come here. I walked in and was immediately greeted by everyone and was asked what they could help me with. After I told them I wanted a piercing JD who is the person who specializes in that immediately helped me out. I told him I wanted the Rook for migraines and he asked me how bad my migraines were. I told him that they were very bad to the point I get nauseous and he said if I needed to be in a dark room when I had them? I said yes I do and I get them very often at that point I knew he knew what he was doing so he recommend to get the Daith instead and we doth agreed on it. He then prepared the room were he was going to do the piercing and took me in very quick. JD was very polite and professional he also did not make me feel awkward or scared although I was very nervous mostly about the pain. As he was doing the piercing he was being very gentle and talking to me asking me to take deep breaths. Once he was done he was explaining to me how to take care of it what to use and what to stay away from. He was honestly very helpful and after laying down for minutes after the piercing I felt some pressure relief on my head I was not dizzy or anything it felt nice. I'm honestly very happy and satisfied and recommend this place to anyone. JD was very well informed and answered all my questions and I can't stress enough how great my experience was. Also this place is sparkling clean. Read Less

I RECOMMEND TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS FROM HERE ! I would never trust another person to pierce me. JD pierced my dermal. He made me and my husband feel so comfortable. He explained how to be careful and aftercare. He really cares about customers that he pierces. What really caught my attention is my piercing had fell on the floor while he was trying to ger a good grip and HE GOT ANOTHER ONE , A NEW ONE ! Thats very good another piercer would of looked for it and just sanitized it wich is a major infection. I work in medical field so i know about infections. JD IS VERY RECOMMENDED! Very cool , dude to talk too. & my tattoo was also done here as well. All the tattoo artists get down on their work. My tattoo artist is Nick, me and my family get our tattoos from him.

Weird review, because I don't know if it's good or bad. Went in for a dermal JD was "the best within 25 miles" according to him. He was super freaking cool I loved him he was funny he was nice the shop is clean everything was amazing. I got my dermal in my chest and then not even eight hours later it fell out. My implanted piercing fell out of my chest. That doesn't happen. I hit him up and he basically was not accommodating at all. He wanted me to repay and said he doesn't know what I did with in that time. He has a deal that if you leave a yelp review you get free piercing. So I told him I would leave a yelp review then he said OK that's fine we could do it that way. So you're telling me the piercing that you gave me fell out of my body and you'll redo it if I leave you a yelp review? Well here is your Yelp review! I liked him a lot I thought he was super cool I just wish he would've handled the situation better also it's not even in the center of my chest! It hurt way too bad and it came out! I just left from a different shop the pain level was drastically lower and now it is centered. Read Less

I have been dealing with migraines since a very young age. I'm so tired of using western medicine to bandage my pain. I began researching other alternatives and came across tragus piercings. My friend recommend me JD at this shop for the piercing and I don't regret it. He was so informative and I truly felt in good hands after our conversation. It was super easy and barely hurt. I went in with a migraine and came out of there with no migraine. I know it's crazy right but it's true. Now this may not work for every single person but it's a great alternative. I am so happy it worked for me. I decided last minute to also get an additional piercing. After my experience with these first piercings I am so excited for the additional piercings he will be doing for me very soon. Thanks JD for being such a stand up person. Read Less

I got tattooed by Voodoo here at Kokopelli; on the outside it literally looks like the definition of a street shop. Neon lights, black shades, old english. on the inside the walls were bright red teeming with all types of artwork by each artist, theres a whole bunch of stuff to look at. All the guys are kinda scary looking but they turned out to be pretty cool; I was immediately greeted by Nick (hes the guy with the tatts all over his head idk) and despite his appearance he was very friendly. Voodoo was all set up for my tattoo and was very vocal as far as what she was gonna do and she ran everything step by step, and even opened all the materials in front of me!! with me being a neat freak that was very nice of her to do cuz yeah everyones afraid of dirty needles. she uses all disposable products and is very tidy with the tattoo procedure. A little heavy with the needle but she made the tattoo as bold and bright as it could be i think. Im very happy with the service and the people here at Kokopelli Ink; Voodoo is my new favorite artist shes super funny and easy to get along with; i will most definitely be back just for the laughs/ and the piercings n tattoos.

I came in here about 2 months ago to get my septum pierced by J.D. He was so nice, SUPER CHILL (that's an understatement), and very helpful. I wasn't uncomfortable at any point.

I went in a few days ago because I had some questions/concerns about getting a tragus piercing. I was immediately introduced to JD who was incredibly helpful. One of my main concerns was that my tragus was too small to pierce, but he said that it wasn't, and even if it was, he liked a challenge. My other main concern was the pain level, but JD said it wouldn't hurt any more than another cartilage piercing. I was also concerned about whether the piercing would interfere with using earphones and Q-tips, but I was reassured that it wouldn't be a problem. After all the talk, I decided to get 2 tragus piercings, and I'm so glad I did because they didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought they would. All the equipment was sterile (as it should be). JD also made an effort to get to know me as a person before and during the piercing, so I would highly recommend him! He was absolutely fantastic. Read Less

So, I had been thinking about getting my daith piercing for a while since I get frequent migraines. But, I was so nervous about the whole process that I held off for a while. Yesterday, I decided I would put my fear to the side and get it done if it was to help me out in the long run. Before going into the shop I read many many great reviews on JD and his methods, so walking in I already felt at ease. At first the shop was a little sketchy because my husband and I stood there for a few minutes without a welcome or acknowledgement, but once they asked what we were there for and called JD the whole vibe was different. He asked what I wanted and gave me details on the process and how it would help me. It was great because you could tell he was experienced and really cared about your well being, not just giving you a piercing and getting it over with. Once in the piercing room he made the whole thing very chill. Kept conversation with my husband and I and kept me very relaxed making the piercing a breeze. Normally, I wake up with minor headaches that I can tell will become a migraine before the day is over, but today I can honestly say I woke up very relieved with just a bit of pain from the piercing. But, it's only that kind of pain like when you sleep on your ear wrong. JD is awesome!!! I would definitely recommend him! Read Less

My friend got a nostril piercing and it looked good, I went to get my septum done and the set up process seemed good, but when the needle went through it was too low. I didn't notice it at first, but later found out it was pierced below the cartilage in the skin area. It was not only done too low, but slanted downward (uneven) and and crooked sideways. It was done by an older (maybe mid 40s) white guy. He did my friends well but was disappointed with this work. My friend also got a tattoo by another man, it was done great!

I have gone through every medication available and have even gone as far as initiating Botox injections which are supposed to keep you pain free for 3 months.. KEYWORDS: Supposed to. My injections typically keep me migraine free for 2 months which leaves me with 1 month of severe breakthrough pain that completely debilitates me (loss of vision, loss of balance, one-sided weakness, severe light sensitivity, ER visits, etc.) I have my daith pierced and recently came across JDs reviews that spoke highly of his tragus piercing and it's relation to their migraine headaches.. I walked in today with a classic 3 day migraine that literally made me feel like the left side of my head was in a permanent vice with an ice pick wedged into my left eye socket... JD took that away within seconds!! He was super informative and explained everything the whole way through and it was literally pain free (with exceptions to the obvious pinches and pressures). It's been about 10 hours since I got it done and I honestly can't believe how crazy it is to be completely migraine free! The pressure that's usually behind my left eye socket = gone! The piercing pain in my left temple = gone! The migraine I woke up with this morning = GONE!!! Now this may not work for everybody BUT this worked for me and I would recommend this piercing to anyone who's done their proper research beforehand. JD you are AMAZING!!! Truly one of a kind and words will never begin to describe my gratitude for what you've done fortoday! Read Less

One of my favorite places to get pierced! The shop is cozy but the people are very professional and welcoming. I haven't been pierced in a couple of years but I remember they always had a female piercer which made getting my more intimate piercings way more comfortable. I've gone during their famous Friday The 13th specials for a quick prick and I did have to wait in line, but it was worth it. They don't pierce you in the front where they tattoo, they take you to a back room for more privacy, which is good. I do wish they had more jewelry choices, but perhaps demand isn't that strong for them. I follow their Instagram account and appreciate how active they are on it for specials and events. Read Less

My sister got a piercing here once so we considered it this time for our tattoo.

My tattoo artist was alright, lacks customer service skills. He seemed bothered when I asked if he could do a tattoo, he got the size right and was focused when doing the work. During my experience he pulled on my skin and was rough when he moved the tattoo machine along my skin. I had to tell him it was hurting, it started bleeding a lot. I know it's normal to bleed and for the skin to get red, I didn't expect it to swell up and turn purple, when he was done he didn't offer a touch up just wrapped it and collected my money. I felt like I was an inconvenience. Sadly next day I woke up to an infected tattoo and it's been two weeks and barely healed up but part of my drawing is missing and it has ink gaps everywhere. Waste of money to be honest. Going somewhere else to fix the damage. They don't even ask for your ID or even to fill out the paperwork when getting a tattoo like I did the first time I was there. The guys name is Steven who did my tattoo. Go somewhere else.Three stars because my wife's tattoo came out awesome and healed great, she had a different tattoo artist and I could tell she got the better customer service. Read Less

Went there for the Friday the 13th special to get my helix pierced. The piercer was such a friendly lady despite the fact she's been working long hours, especially that day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and answered any questions I had to the best of their abilities. That I appreciated. If I had one wish for them, however, I wish that they would specify what you need to bring to the counter. Granted, the process for a tattoo or a piercing is a waiver, photo ID, and a form of payment. The person who was calling names on the wait list, however, didn't specify that on that day the shop only took cash, so there was a lot of delays because people had to run to an ATM. This is South Gates first ever tattoo and piercing shop. They do excellent and quality work. However, make sure before you go in you clarify what you need along with your waiver so you don't have to run to get something last minute. Read Less

Their piercer fucked me up, I don't know how well he is with other piercings but DO NOT get your tongue pierced with him. He didn't use the proper equipment, he used some cheap plastic clamps that you can get in a amazon piercing kit. He put in a much smaller barbell which left zero room for swelling, and my tongue was swelling over the piercing. He also didn't ask about the placement (it's not centered), and he didn't warn me when he was going to pierce me. Once he was done I wanted to ask about aftercare, what special instructions I should follow and he was outside on his phone. I recommend going elsewhere if you want a good piercing. Read Less

After a long time researching places on getting a piercing that would help me with my horrible migraines I decided to come here. I walked in and was immediately greeted by everyone and was asked what they could help me with. After I told them I wanted a piercing JD who is the person who specializes in that immediately helped me out. I told him I wanted the Rook for migraines and he asked me how bad my migraines were. I told him that they were very bad to the point I get nauseous and he said if I needed to be in a dark room when I had them? I said yes I do and I get them very often at that point I knew he knew what he was doing so he recommend to get the Daith instead and we doth agreed on it. He then prepared the room were he was going to do the piercing and took me in very quick. JD was very polite and professional he also did not make me feel awkward or scared although I was very nervous mostly about the pain. As he was doing the piercing he was being very gentle and talking to me asking me to take deep breaths. Once he was done he was explaining to me how to take care of it what to use and what to stay away from. He was honestly very helpful and after laying down for minutes after the piercing I felt some pressure relief on my head I was not dizzy or anything it felt nice. I'm honestly very happy and satisfied and recommend this place to anyone. JD was very well informed and answered all my questions and I can't stress enough how great my experience was.

Weird review, because I don't know if it's good or bad. Went in for a dermal JD was "the best within 25 miles" according to him. He was super freaking cool I loved him he was funny he was nice the shop is clean everything was amazing. I got my dermal in my chest and then not even eight hours later it fell out. My implanted piercing fell out of my chest. That doesn't happen. I hit him up and he basically was not accommodating at all. He wanted me to repay and said he doesn't know what I did with in that time. He has a deal that if you leave a yelp review you get free piercing. So I told him I would leave a yelp review then he said OK that's fine we could do it that way. So you're telling me the piercing that you gave me fell out of my body and you'll redo it if I leave you a yelp review? Well here is your Yelp review! I liked him a lot I thought he was super cool I just wish he would've handled the situation better also it's not even in the center of my chest! It hurt way too bad and it came out! I just left from a different shop the pain level was drastically lower and now it is centered. Read Less

I have been dealing with migraines since a very young age. I'm so tired of using western medicine to bandage my pain. I began researching other alternatives and came across tragus piercings. My friend recommend me JD at this shop for the piercing and I don't regret it. He was so informative and I truly felt in good hands after our conversation. It was super easy and barely hurt. I went in with a migraine and came out of there with no migraine. I know it's crazy right but it's true. Now this may not work for every single person but it's a great alternative. I am so happy it worked for me. I decided last minute to also get an additional piercing. After my experience with these first piercings I am so excited for the additional piercings he will be doing for me very soon. Thanks JD for being such a stand up person. Read Less

I got tattooed by Voodoo here at Kokopelli; on the outside it literally looks like the definition of a street shop. Neon lights, black shades, old english. on the inside the walls were bright red teeming with all types of artwork by each artist, theres a whole bunch of stuff to look at. All the guys are kinda scary looking but they turned out to be pretty cool; I was immediately greeted by Nick (hes the guy with the tatts all over his head idk) and despite his appearance he was very friendly. Voodoo was all set up for my tattoo and was very vocal as far as what she was gonna do and she ran everything step by step, and even opened all the materials in front of me!! with me being a neat freak that was very nice of her to do cuz yeah everyones afraid of dirty needles. she uses all disposable products and is very tidy with the tattoo procedure. A little heavy with the needle but she made the tattoo as bold and bright as it could be i think. Im very happy with the service and the people here at Kokopelli Ink; Voodoo is my new favorite artist shes super funny and easy to get along with; i will most definitely be back just for the laughs/ and the piercings n tattoos.

I went in a few days ago because I had some questions/concerns about getting a tragus piercing. I was immediately introduced to JD who was incredibly helpful. One of my main concerns was that my tragus was too small to pierce, but he said that it wasn't, and even if it was, he liked a challenge. My other main concern was the pain level, but JD said it wouldn't hurt any more than another cartilage piercing. I was also concerned about whether the piercing would interfere with using earphones and Q-tips, but I was reassured that it wouldn't be a problem. After all the talk, I decided to get 2 tragus piercings, and I'm so glad I did because they didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought they would. All the equipment was sterile (as it should be). JD also made an effort to get to know me as a person before and during the piercing, so I would highly recommend him! He was absolutely fantastic. Read Less

So, I had been thinking about getting my daith piercing for a while since I get frequent migraines. But, I was so nervous about the whole process that I held off for a while. Yesterday, I decided I would put my fear to the side and get it done if it was to help me out in the long run. Before going into the shop I read many many great reviews on JD and his methods, so walking in I already felt at ease. At first the shop was a little sketchy because my husband and I stood there for a few minutes without a welcome or acknowledgement, but once they asked what we were there for and called JD the whole vibe was different. He asked what I wanted and gave me details on the process and how it would help me. It was great because you could tell he was experienced and really cared about your well being, not just giving you a piercing and getting it over with. Once in the piercing room he made the whole thing very chill. Kept conversation with my husband and I and kept me very relaxed making the piercing a breeze. Normally, I wake up with minor headaches that I can tell will become a migraine before the day is over, but today I can honestly say I woke up very relieved with just a bit of pain from the piercing. But, it's only that kind of pain like when you sleep on your ear wrong. JD is awesome!!! I would definitely recommend him! Read Less

My friend got a nostril piercing and it looked good, I went to get my septum done and the set up process seemed good, but when the needle went through it was too low.

One of my favorite places to get pierced! The shop is cozy but the people are very professional and welcoming. I haven't been pierced in a couple of years but I remember they always had a female piercer which made getting my more intimate piercings way more comfortable. I've gone during their famous Friday The 13th specials for a quick prick and I did have to wait in line, but it was worth it. They don't pierce you in the front where they tattoo, they take you to a back room for more privacy, which is good. I do wish they had more jewelry choices, but perhaps demand isn't that strong for them. I follow their Instagram account and appreciate how active they are on it for specials and events. Read Less

This place fucking sucks !!! Besides customer service they fucked up on my piercing and couldn't do a simple industrial piercing right. I've had my industrial done multiple times ! Idk if their equipment was dirty or whatever but my industrial is extremely infected and I tried getting advice thru the phone and they were extremely rude ! This place is horrible man I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE!!!! And if I could I would give them negative stars... Read Less

Let me start off by saying this review is for their customer service, not their tattoo skills since thankfully we didn't get that far. My sister got a piercing here once so we considered it this time for our tattoo. I called to ask about prices and appointments and the guy who answered the phone seemed so annoyed that a possible customer dared to ask questions! He literally said "Anything else? Cause we're busy". Needless to say we will never be coming here. Why would you get a tattoo from a person who lacks common courtesy? No thank you! Read Less

My tattoo artist was alright, lacks customer service skills. He seemed bothered when I asked if he could do a tattoo, he got the size right and was focused when doing the work. During my experience he pulled on my skin and was rough when he moved the tattoo machine along my skin. I had to tell him it was hurting, it started bleeding a lot. I know it's normal to bleed and for the skin to get red, I didn't expect it to swell up and turn purple, when he was done he didn't offer a touch up just wrapped it and collected my money. I felt like I was an inconvenience. Sadly next day I woke up to an infected tattoo and it's been two weeks and barely healed up but part of my drawing is missing and it has ink gaps everywhere. Waste of money to be honest. Going somewhere else to fix the damage. They don't even ask for your ID or even to fill out the paperwork when getting a tattoo like I did the first time I was there. The guys name is Steven who did my tattoo. Go somewhere else.Three stars because my wife's tattoo came out awesome and healed great, she had a different tattoo artist and I could tell she got the better customer service. Read Less

I walked in with the intention to get a piercing on my earlobe and the 3 employees were just sitting around, one of them on their phones and rolled her eyes at me. I asked if they were open they ignored my question then a minute later said yeah he'll help you and the other guy proceeded to ask what I wanted. I felt like a bother to them I had been here before to get my belly pierced and they welcomed me that time and were polite. Idk what happened this time but I didn't like the vibe.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. The receptionist has the worst attitude and she clicked on me over the phone. I called for a walk in and she told me they were open. I arrived only to be told they can't tattoo me. When I asked her why she didn't tell me this over the phone when I called, she told me "I've been here all day & no one has called". This pissed me off! Her attitude was careless the entire time and walked away. The tattoo artist Nick stepped in and reassured me. He was extremely helpful and professional. He was super amazing!

Went there for the Friday the 13th special to get my helix pierced. The piercer was such a friendly lady despite the fact she's been working long hours, especially that day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and answered any questions I had to the best of their abilities. That I appreciated. If I had one wish for them, however, I wish that they would specify what you need to bring to the counter. Granted, the process for a tattoo or a piercing is a waiver, photo ID, and a form of payment. The person who was calling names on the wait list, however, didn't specify that on that day the shop only took cash, so there was a lot of delays because people had to run to an ATM. This is South Gates first ever tattoo and piercing shop. They do excellent and quality work. However, make sure before you go in you clarify what you need along with your waiver so you don't have to run to get something last minute. Read Less

My brother and I were visiting from out of town...While my brother went to the smoke shop next door I walked in to see if I could get a tattoo.There was one guy working, and I asked if he took walk ins. He kindly replied that he did, but he wouldn't be able to take walk ins until about 5. He asked me what I wanted, and I showed him "In color? Oh that would be really cool" he replied. But again he said he wouldn't be able to do it until about 5. Unfortunately for me, I have to leave before then.Although I didn't get anything done, I give this place 5 stars because the guy who greeted me was very friendly. And I'm sure if I were to go back he'd give me a good experience.I hope I can come back one day. Read Less

Friendly and great people here! Came here to get a "Friday the 13th" tattoo and was happy to find out that their options also included non 13 style tattoos as well. Having already an LA kings crown on my wrist, I decided to get a really nice cursive type "LA" on my wrist next to my current tattoo. My artist was Nick. @nicknacksty on Instagram. He was cool and patient about me trying to figure out the placement of my tattoo. Had a steady hand and the lines came out really clean! While I was waiting to be called, I noticed this shop has a shop pet, this cute orange looking snake. He kept popping out to say hello!Overall a cool shop with tons of unique art and tattoo related pictures on the wall. Thanks nick! I love my new ink! Read Less
