Chris was great! 3 piercings with little to no pain what so ever! He felt more like hanging out with a friend(even though he was in some very private areas) made me feel very at ease and comfortable! Would recommend to anyone! Read Less

I got my septum pierced by Chris about 2 months ago. I was nervous about the pain, but he kept me calm. His work space is very clean and professional. It almost feels like a doctor's office, which I appreciate! If you need any piercings done, go to Chris!! Read Less

I've been here twice now for piercings, once for my belly button and then again for my daith. They are super clean and friendly and have done an amazing job each time! Prices are reasonable for the awesome results you get! Highly recommend Read Less

I came in without an appointment and Chris was able accommodate me which was great considering the fact that I was getting 4 piercings all at one time. I got three helix piercings and my Tragus, he was super nice and got them all done relatively fast because I was "a little" nervous lol. Explained after care thoroughly and offered to help if I ran into any issues. I would definitely recommend going to Bugaboo! I will definitely be back in the future! Thanks Chris! Read Less

My niece and I got tattoos with Scott and we are in love with our ink! Scott was incredibly patient with me and all of my crazy indecision. While we were there, they had good traffic flow. So it looks like they have solid business, which is good. We saw Scott's client before us and she got a huge tattoo that was just beautiful. The facility was clean, comfortable, and I'll be going back again for sure! We highly recommend this place. Read Less

Walked in and not even 5 minutes into the conversation did the employee not only lose the business they may have gained, but threw out sarcastic insults and personal judgement about having a tattoo removed. I would highly advise against giving any business to Bugaboo Tattoo in Merrillville unless you would like to be boldly mocked about your personal choice in YOUR decision to add or remove symbolic art to your body.

I went to bugaboo for the first time yesterday with Nate. Not only did he make me feel comfortable but understood what i wanted and i absolutely love my tattoos. I am a forever customer from now on Thank you so much :) Read Less

From start to finish everything about this place is awesome... piercing by Chris was truly professional and he is so calm that any nervousness doesn't last long...tattoo by Nate is so beautiful...really great at what he does 😊Highly recommend this place 👍 Read Less

As always, the service was amazing. Steven Darnell is a talented artist and entertaining as well. Never a dull moment from start to finish. Helps make the time go a little faster. Establishment is always clean and hospitable. Have three more appointments with Steven, can't wait! Read Less

huge runaround and a waste of time. The counter person was nice at the Hammond store but I spoke with 2 artists and both seemed to be way overworked (I felt like I was bothering Aaron) and an appointment was beyond reach. I would suggest that they get more help or open another store. Read Less

I waited 6 months for my appointment with Aaron, then had to reschedule and waited another 9 months....but so well worth the wait. I have an old tattoo of a bird on my ankle I still liked but wanted to add to it. He came up with some flowers and butterflies up the leg to add to it, and it blends just beautifully. He is an awesome artist, and if you want true art that you'll be proud of the rest of your life, it's well worth the wait!!!! Thank you Aaron!!!! ������ Read Less

Knowledgeable employees. I haven't been tattooed here yet, but I follow the shop and some artists on Facebook and their work is great. The piercer did great work and was talkative to help ease the piercing. Read Less

Some of the best tattoo work I've ever seen or received by Aaron Peters. He has a long waiting list but trust me it's worth the wait. His detail is incredible and his portrait work is extremely realistic. Very cool and friendly person to sit with for those long sessions. I've had 2 tattoos done by him so far. The rest of the staff is very friendly and professional and the shop is clean and comfortable. Read Less

I went here for an impromptu septum piercing about a month ago and Chris was my piercer. He did great and made me feel very comfortable while maintaining a very professional demeanor. I went on a monday which is not easy to do as most peircers in the area are off mondays but bugaboo was recommened by a friend and i couldnt be happier with my visit. The piercing has healed great and is not crooked which can be an issue with septums. Overall I give him a 10 out of 10!! Read Less

I have been here 3 times for my nose piercing and each time was a 10/10 experience! Chris pierced my nose twice and helped take out a piercing to put in another. He was very helpful when it came to explaining how to care for my new piercing. He was very personable and took the time to know his client. Definitely recommend! Read Less

Fantastic environment. Clean with an abundance of art. Nate was my artist and he was super down to earth and friendly. I got exactly what I wanted and man can he pull some really straight lines!!! He took his time in making sure the stencil was on perfectly and then went to work with expert precision. Thanks! Read Less
