My experience was absolutely AMAZING!!! 1st off, the Vibe in the shop is Great!!! Everyone is very welcoming and layed back. Cleanliness was EXCEPTIONAL throughout all areas!! I initially came in for a Daith piercing. I was nervous and had a bunch of questions. Tess was not only knowledgeable and professional, she was kind and compassionate as well. She gave me great tips and aftercare instructions and also made me feel like I could come back at anytime for further advise. She was AWESOME!!! While I was waiting, I spoke with Nick about a tattoo I wanted done with my hubs. Nick was receptive, energetic and completely engaged in the process. He even made himself available to draw up what we wanted and committed to doing the work this same evening!!! When I returned with my Hubs in tow, we also met the Amazing Angie! Nick did our drawing of what we wanted and did my Hubs tattoo while Angie did mine Angie was great!! She was inviting and really out going!! The quality of the work on both pieces exceeded our expectations!! 2 different artists for the same piece, yet just enough difference for it to work!! We can't say Thank you enough for our AMAZING experience!!! We will definitely be back and will be telling everyone how great you all are!!!! Thank you Again!!! Read Less

I walked in for this tattoo and I felt so unwelcomed. My friend and I were both supposed to get little tattoos but they told her that they don't do knuckle tattoos (where she wanted). Jake did my tattoo and in the middle of shading he hit my ear!!!! All he said was oops. I did not even realize until after he was done (I was in the zone) that he left a line on my ear. I tried peeling it off but it didn't scab.The tattoo itself is in a weird placing and I am not happy with how faded it is already. When I went to check out after watching my friend get her nose pierced Jake was already outside smoking and did not check me out (probably because he left a line on my ear) so Alex checked me out and I left pissed off. I got my ear pierced to try to hide the mark. Read Less

I decided to have a tattoo done in honor of my Swedish heritage. I went in wanting one thing and after speaking with Luke decided on something completely different. He is very in to and knowledgeable about the history of tattooing as well as Swedish folk art. He drew my tattoo design and chose the colors and I couldn't love it more. It is so beautiful! Luke is a true artist. He is really laid back and super nice, so if you're nervous about getting a tattoo, he's the guy for you. The shop is very clean and they follow all safety precautions. All in all a great shop and experience. Read Less

I've gotten two tattoos here before and I loved it! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. This time I got my tattoo done by Caela. Oh my god, she was amazing. She went above and beyond my expectations when it came to my tattoo. I showed her what I wanted and she did something 10x better. She is very talented and very personable. When I'm in town next year, I will be returning to her. Tainted Skin, y'all are very lucky to have her! Thanks Caela keep up the good work! Read Less

Got 20 hrs of color work done by Rob 3 years ago and it is still crisp and looking great. I get compliments regularly, they do stellar work in a cool clean shop and have a fun crew. Go get some ink.

Very unprofessional, poor customer service. I walk in, the person at the front desk says it's best to call and make an appointment...I call to make an appointment and she says "best stop in and you'll need to make a DEPOSIT for an appointment." The artists work looks average, but I pick the place because of location...close to home. Could not get an appointment made and grateful that I didn't waste anymore time, especially reading some of the other reviews about their finished work. I saved up $2K for my new art and gladly will provide to different shop/artist. Read Less
