No one was personableNo one says hi to you when you walk in, for being a family owned shop, it did not feel welcoming at all. Freddy the piercer didn't even come out to talk to us after he was done with his first client. I didn't feel like there was relationship building for someone we were trusting putting a needle into my friends body. Needless to say don't waste your money, spend a couple more bucks for a better experience! Read Less

I gotten my septum pierced and they messed up. They did it way to high up and crooked. They also refuse refund even though it never healed. Never coming here again.

Wally did an amazing job fixing a tattoo I was embarrassed of. Now, I can't wait to show it off. Thank you! I absolutely love it and everything about it. Will be coming back for more ink.

I've been coming to this shop for 7 years. It is very clean friendly and professional. Freddie (the piercer), has done all of my piercings over the years. I highly recommended him and this shop.

I got my ears pierced in January by Freddie, which was actually my first time being in a tattoo parlor, and I found that it wasn't too intimidating at all. It's super clean inside, and the girl behind the counter was very friendly.When getting ready to pierce me, Freddie made me feel very at ease, asked me if I had any questions, and provided me with a sheet of aftercare instructions.I had initially gotten my ears pierced in middle school with a gun (at Claire's...I know). They became infected several times due to cheap jewelry, so I let them close up. Freddie pierced over the same holes, and now after three months of following the instructions, my ears are completely healed and I have not had any issues with infections. The piercing itself was nearly painless in the first ear and just a slight pinch in the second; it was much less painful than I remember my experience with a gun.If you're nervous about having your ears pierced in a parlor, this is the place to go! Very professional and courteous staff made for a great experience. Read Less

I've gotten tattoed and pierced here and it's a clean shop and very uncluttered (they play great music too). As soon as you come in you're greated by someone asking you what you're looking for so they can find the best person suited for your request. I've gotten pierced by Olivia and she is the best! She's done 6 of my cartilage piercings and she was great everytime. She opens the piercing needle from it's clean packaging right in front of you. Marks your piericing and makes sure you like how they look explains what you're going to feel and bam you're done. I got tattoed by Jesi and she did my upper forearm with one of her designs and I love it so much! If you can get one of her original designs tattoed you should feel honored, her designs are unique and beautiful. My tattoo has healed well and it looks great. Read Less

Completely shocked that there aren't many reviews for this place.Take a moment and give these guys a review, folks!!!FOR REAL!2 separate check-ins here. I RANDOMLY found this spot after having an itch to TOUCH UP my ink one night.My tribute tattoo nearly 7 years old and my caduceus symbol at 1 year old.What a freakin' IMMACULATE joint!***CLEAN!*** Very modern. Hip. Sheque. Chic. All of the above.You will find young people at work in their 20s? 30s?+*+ VERY good spirits in this place. +*+I wish I could remember the young mans name that touched up my ink, he did a fantastic job with also NEWLY adding WHITE INK in both of my tattoos, never had white to begin with.Most recently, I left within minutes getting a surface vertical tragus. LOVE IT!You will NOT be disappointed coming to this place!!!I am laughing out loud at the hidden negative reviews because clearly people aren't taking the time out to LISTEN, ASK ?'S if you have them and BE A FREAKIN' GROWN UP with taking CARE of how YOU chose to alter your body. These guys aren't foolish to intentionally goof you up, they have to cover THEIR back the same way YOU need to cover yours. :DYES I will be back! Read Less

I had an idea of what tattoo I wanted and so I went to Exodus Ink and was very impressed by what I encountered. The place was clean, the artists were very nice and very polite, and the tattoo work was amazing. I came in with some ideas and Mike, the artist I dealt with, was able to put those ideas on paper. I decided to go ahead with the tattoo and am very happy with my tattoo. My friend, who came with me, got a piercing from the main piercer, Freddie, and she loved her microdermal. I would and will definitely recommend this tattoo & piercing shop to anyone who is looking for a place Read Less
