So far I've had a piercing and a back piece done here, and both times it's gone as smoothly as possible. I came in with a rough idea of what I wanted, and Davion was extremely helpful. He stayed true to the concept I wanted, adding his own flair to fit his style, and it turned out great! I can't wait to have more work done here. Extremely fair pricing for the quality of work done here. Read Less

Our experience was great! Săip was very helpful and informative consulting my husband and I on what our expectations and what he suggests would look best! That's what a good artist does! That's why we came to Evil Genius! They came highly recommended. And depending on the type of body art you are looking for, depends on the artist that best fits your expectations and their specialty in the piece you choose. I also like the fact that they charge by the hour. The way I look at it, you get what you pay for. If you are willing to endure it, you will get the best results by taking the time to perfect your piece. Great art takes time! I cant wait to get started!! Thank you Evil Genius for a good experience!

Charly, the piercer, knows her stuff but unfortunately the customer service at this shop is lacking.
The first time I came in the man at the front desk ignored me and my boyfriend and carried on a conversation for a few minutes while we waited at the front desk. I had hoped that the wait was a one time thing but it was not.
Three weeks later I came back to get a jewelry post changed out. I was hoping it would be a quick thing when I was down town but it took over 10 minutes of standing at the front desk just to be greeted and asked what I needed despite employees walking around and seeing me waiting.
I'm very disappointed and will not be returning. Read Less

SCAM!!!! This place will take your deposit for a tattoo and never provide any services for you. They feel protected by a small disclosure on their receipt that says "Deposits are non-refundable" They made me put down a deposit to save my spot for my tattoo. They mis-scheduled my appointment and made no attempt to fix the situation. Not even reschedule the time they had mistakenly scheduled me for because I'd still be at work and would not be able to make the appointment. They blocked my messages, wasted my time, took my money, and were completely disrespectful! This place gives local tattoo shops a bad name please spend your HARD EARNED MONEY some where else!

Blunt and to the point. The tattoo “artist” Devine and David showed up almost 2 hours late for our time scheduled for 11:30am. I told them I had to be out of there no later than 2pm. I was getting a very small tattoo. I did not have time to come back because I don’t live here. They would not refund the money for their tardiness to their job and lied to their manager Zachary about everything and said we were backing out of a tattoo. The manager is very unprofessional and childish and started cussing and yelling at me over a phone. On top of that he eventually became “understanding” and said he would call the owner and call back and never did because he wanted to keep my $125. So if the owner doesn’t know about this i hope he sees this and contacts me because there is so much more into this. Also, David contacted me on Facebook and sent me a suicide hotline contact number because I seemed “troubled”. Nice one Read Less

Made a very spontaneous last-minute decision to get my belly button pierced and walked in without an appointment thinking I would just come back later. To my surprise, they accommodated me immediately. I'm fairly new to piercings so I was very transparent with Soldier Mike about my fears and he was so good at calming my nerves! He kept me distracted during the procedure while at the same time being very clear with instructions. To be honest, I thought it was going to be very painful and it wasn't at all. I was in and out of there very quickly and left completely overjoyed with my piercing. Highly recommend these guys! Read Less

I just got a daith piercing this afternoon. Not sure if it will help my migraines (not that I wouldn't mind a placebo effect), but at least I have a pretty piercing! It was super busy with a tattoo special going on, but they got me right in, only had to wait a few minutes. Mike took me back to the piercing room, he was totally awesome, just chatted the whole time. The piercing itself was one of the lesser painful ones I have experienced, and that went through cartilage. He took great care to clean it, and answer any questions I had, and told me not to hesitate to call if I have more questions. Amazing shop, super friendly, efficient, but thorough.

I think a little bit of touch up is due from some black lines coming through but otherwise an amazing job.
