BEWARE!!!!! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Now I can only speak 4 the owner when i say horrible art and shity customer service. Owner would rather hang out w people outside then work on paying customers. Also he thinks he can put whatever he wants on YOUR body and anything u say dont matter. Anyone who says other wise about this place dont know good art or good customer service!! Defently NOT SKIN WORTHY!!!! Trust me I know. Owner thinks he's the greatest in the world and down talks every other artist in the area! Over all the owner of this place is inconsistent and his apprentice artist from what I've seen are better artist than him!!! Crazy believe or not he should be working 4 them! Read Less

When I went I got a piercing, a helix one. The girl didn't get the needle through all the way on the first try but still tried to stick the piercing piece in. Let me tell you, it was insanely painful and there was a lot of blood. Went to another piercer at my now favorite shop and they said there might be some issues healing. Read Less

Zach did an excellent job fixing a tattoo that another artist (Not from this shop) messed up on. He had a nice light hand, hardly felt a thing. Very pleased with the outcome.

I Cannot say enough good about this place! After an absolutely awful and unprofessional experience at another local tattoo shop this place saved the day! Everyone there did everything they could to help me. I ended up with Kane as my artist and I will never go to anyone else! I gave him my idea and he made it into something even better in the matter of 24 hours. He was super flexible and got me in the following day! Had a 9 hour session to get my piece started and not only was the result absolutely phenomenal, but he made me comfortable and kept me laughing the whole time! I can't wait to keep going back to see what else he can come up with!! If you're looking for some of the best artists in the area and place to feel 100% comfortable...I absolutely reccomend this place! Read Less

The shop itself is nothing like I've ever seen before. It was so open, the guys were very friendly, the music was different (which was very refreshing) and overall very clean. Let me not forget the bathroom! Don't forget to use it, it's badass. My artist was really cool, very thorough in his explanation of aftercare as well. I will say I'm not 100% happy with my tattoo. Obviously, it's not as bright as the day I got it, which is expected. But if you look closely you can see the outline stand out more than the color filled it, as if it wasn't blended well or the fill in color wasn't filled in enough. One of the major lines isn't straight, but I guess I could blame that on the lines on my achilles tendon? Also, a piece is missing that was never tattooed. Not terribly worried about it because it's small, between the ankle bone and achilles tendon on the inside of my left foot. Doubt anyone will get that close, but I know it's not there so it's annoying. What was really interesting is they offer free touch ups up to six months after your original appointment! I've never had that offered before. Overall, the experience was great, my tattoo is just 'okay'. Read Less

Kane is one of my favorite tattoo artists: Clean, respectful and always willing to work with the customer on the tattoo to make their experience the best. No attitude or dramatics, I always know when I work with him I will enjoy a professional at work. I've gotten eight tattoos from Kane, and spent dozens of hours on the table with him in the last four years. I've referred several friends and family to him, everyone has walked away with a great piece of art to share with the world. He also did an incredible batman piece on my brother's chest. Simply incredible. Read Less

Got my tongue pierced here by Jordan who was nice. Tongue started to heal weird and out of concern I went to speak with the shop owner. He freaked out while he was tattooing a client and told me to "take my little girl bullsh*t" out of his shop because I said "I didn't feel comfortable with the way it was healing". Awful man.
