The artist Kel aka YETI made me feel like a complete inconvenience the whole time i was there. I know my session was long but very unprofessional regardless of my relationship with him. I wanted my tattoos custom because they are on my body forever and i was told they are "too hard" and had to settle for different things. I went in knowing he was a newer artist, but he charged me more a long the lines of a more advanced artist. Especially for the work done. Lines are not straight on all three and one he went way too deep into my skin. Artist claims its because i didn't care for it properly but i took care of all three that i got that day, the same way, at the same time everyday. I even wrapped them extra at home after taking the initial wrap off. I have got tattoos for the last 6 years and know how to treat them with a total of 9. He didn't own up to his mistake, won't compensate this issue. He is still choosing to ignore it. I dont recommend this place. The whole environment looked unclean and unprofessional. Also, they are all sexist neo nazi supporting men with swastika tattoos. So good luck. Read Less

Very unprofessional stopped my tattoo for 40 minutes to pierce somebody's belly button lost my second appointment after I drove an hour to get there and just said I'm sorry. One of the cheapest rates in town also gets you mediocre work that I had to go get fixed and the parts done here will fade fast and need more fixing Read Less

I've been wanting to find a great tattoo artist and I think I found him! The 2 guys working were so totally chill and awesome. They also explained a lot of stuff as well. And Spider is the first tattoo artist that told me he can fix a tattoo I have that was ruined by stretch marks. It's a tattoo In remembrance of my sister so it makes me so happy he's gonna fix it. You can tell they go that extra mile; just look at the reviews as proof! Very few people put negative reviews and that's why I went to Cedar Valley Tattoo & Piercing. Not to mention they do excellent work. Read Less

My daughter was in last night to get her belly button pierced... I just wanted to tell you that she had nothing but great things to say about your staff! From the gal that greeted her to the gentleman that did the piercing. She said that he treated her and her 2 friends with respect and didn't treat them like the annoying teenage girls that I KNOW they can be! As a mother of a teen, that is growing her independence and doing things on her own, I thank you. You will come highly recommended from this overprotective Mama Bear! Read Less

This was my first full color tattoo, and Spider and Beard did a great job overall. From design, to color choices, to line work it couldn't have been done better!
