I am 37 years old and got my first 2 tattoos last night by Jason. My anxiety was at an all time high. Once Jason started I couldnt believe that it wasnt all that bad. There was areas I swore he was digging to China. Then went with another tattoo I wanted also. Thanks Jason!!!! I will be adding words to my hearts on the near future as well. Read Less

I'm 27 years old and I just got my first tat last night by Jason. (Let's just say my fear of needles kept me from getting one for the longest time!) But when I walked in both Wes and Jason were absolutely friendly and welcoming. Jason did so amazing on my tat that I will definitely be coming back for another! (Even if it is a 5 hour drive after I move!) I highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a tat! Read Less

I would not go back here for any piercings. I got my helix and my diath done here at the same time. I was having issues with my diath so I stopped back into the shop and he told me it should go away and that I can pop it with a needle which is frustrating because thats something you should never do because it makes them worse. It started to get more painful and wasn't getting any better so I stopped into a shop closer to me for some help. I was told that the diath was not pierced correctly and it was putting to much pressure on the piercing causing it to be really painful and form a blood blister and was advised to remove the jewelry as the piercer noticed it wasn't good quality and that my helix had a plastic ball which cant be very sterile. Also my they did my helix with a 14 g. when it should have been done with a 16 or 18. Anyways after I asked how to care for my piercing and he said proxcide. You should never clean piercing with that. Good costumer service but not good with piercings. Read Less
