Called before going into the shop asking if they accept walk-ins & we were told they do. We go into the shop and realized that we also needed cash for their tattoos (we should've asked that beforehand), but the guy at the front was rude. He not only was judging us for the small size of the tattoo, but also told my friend "you really want a tattoo like that?" for an idea she had as well. Wouldn't recommend coming here if this is how they treat their customers. We ended up going to another tattoo shop instead. Read Less

If you're looking for a tattoo, or a piercing, this is the only choice as far as I'm concerned. Very clean, Very professional, and they always treat you like family! If I could give more than five stars, it would be done! Read Less

Came with my son for his first tattoo. Jackie was very knowledgeable and calmed his nerves. She suggested a smaller tattoo for him to try out as a first time experience. He felt very comfortable and has already said he wants another one in a few months and he is definitely going back to Jackie. Read Less

You don't trust just anyone with your daughter's first tattoos! After a ton of research utilizing Yelp, Facebook and Instagram we decided to work with Jackie Sue @ Cry Babies! We couldn't have been happier with the decision. Jackie did a great job! So good that I scheduled an appointment with her to have a piece custom designed for me and we might even convince my wife to join the club. :) She's a true professional! Read Less

I decided to get my first tattoo here after doing a lot of researching. I picked Cry babies because of all the great reviews. I went in and Amish Rob was drawing up my tattoo and i set up my appointment with him. I put down my deposit and then when I came in for my appointment I found out he was no longer working there. There’s no refunds after you make a deposit so I decided to let Rick do my first tatt instead of throwing $200 down the drain. It was a horrible experience and it looked like a toddler drew on me with crayons...you bet I got it covered up somewhere else!!! Read Less

I got my first tattoo done here and everyone was very friendly and the artist did draw what I wanted very well and with that I am impressed. but I was told it would be so black that it would look like a sticker and now after two months it seems to have faded from the time I got it. Over all I am just disappointed with how professional my artist was instead of wrapping it in plastic he just taped a paper towel over my tattoo and told me to just put lotion on it whenever it itched and told me to take the towel off after an hour it just seems like he didn't know much about how to take care of a tattoo once it is completed. I think they where friendly and the artist can draw well but I am disappointed that my tattoo went from supposed to being so black it was like a sticker to looking old already as if I've had it for 10 years. I think the shop could be a little better with how they wrap and take care of the tattoo once it is done. Read Less

Came here for my first tattoo - I initially got really weird vibes from the artist, which were confirmed when my appointment came. I received several snide remarks and attitude from the artist which were very unexpected and made the whole situation awkward. Luckily the ink came out perfect.... but definitely get to know the artists there before you let them permanently modify your body. I won't be in the area much longer, but even if I was, I don't think I'd come here again. Read Less
