Where do I start? I walked into the shop to discuss a Tattoo I wanted done on my arm. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with cigarette smoke! I thought to myself I can ignor that it is what it is. After talking to the artist chris he said to send him a picture on Facebook of the ideas I wanted on my tattoo. Well it’s been 2 weeks and I still have not heard back. I guess my instincts were right in the first place. There’s way more better places here in Galesburg to get tattooed.

Aren't they supposed to sanitize the area prior to a nose piercing? Or just go right through foundation, oil, etc...hoping for the best!

Went in a few months back to get the piercing that was supposed to be so good for migraines. I now swear by that piercing! The staff at the time I got it were all very nice and it was painless and it's been a godsend. A few weeks ago, I was in to purchase some jewelry and Brandie actually helped me put in one pair and said if I had any trouble with my others come back and she would help me out for a reasonable fee since they were already pierced. Of course I had trouble. I went back today and she put them right back in with no trouble at all. She's an absolute sweetheart and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Brandie is the shit! Her work rocks and I recommend it :) I also have several piercings from them and they healed wonderfully and I love them. But research who you're getting a tattoo from. One of their temporary artists did a tattoo of mine and I've had to have it fixed 3 times by my personal artist because it isn't good or at all what I wanted (not Brandie or her new staffs fault). Dude kept stopping, going outside to smoke, and then made changes to the tattoo ON ME without even asking so it looks nothing like what I wanted. Ended up costing me $1000 total WITH getting it fixed afterwards, and it's still not what it was suppose to be. Moral of the story? Go to Brandie ❤️

I mean... Is there really somewhere else that you go? Brandie is the shiz with cherries on top. She just did the Baby Dory piece on me after fighting cancer (again) and going through radiation and chemo for the last year. SHE NAILED IT This is her passion and no one else will be tattooing me. I require the best... just sayin'.

I had my first experience yesterday with Monster's Ink yesterday. And I must say it was awesome! I was a walk-in the staff was very friendly They got me in right away to get my Daith pierced. Very clean and sterile work space. I felt very comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend Monster's Inn for piercings.

I had my cartilage pierced on Saturday by Ashli. It was painless and she did a great job!I had it done before at the Mall and it never healed correctly, was crooked, and cost nearly three times what I paid at Monsters Ink. The soreness was gone by Monday and I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks Ashli!!
