Got my nipples pierced here the first time and I have 7 other piercings so I know how to clean and take care of them and my nipples on the other hand never healed properly and this was the only piercing I’ve ever gotten here. The guy that did it was making comments asking if my breasts were fake as well *cough cough* unprofessional. Read Less

Terrible service I will never go back. When I arrived I was greeted by the receptionist asking me what I needed. I told her that I had an appointment with Diego... He looked at me and told me that it was impossible... so I showed him the messages that him and I sent to one another via Facebook messenger.. he then told me anything under his minimum doesn't get put in his books.. Long story short he referred me to another artist in the shop that was very loud and unprofessional... he increased my original consultation price from $60 to $100... after he was done with my tattoo, it was just a shaky outline of my design.. the line work was horrible... after asking him to shade it in all black he told me for another $40. I will never go back to this place or refer anyone.. Read Less

The customer service via Facebook Messenger was outstanding. However, I got to the location and just couldn't bring myself to go inside because of the location. I'm sure they are great people though.

It was recommended by a coworker, I went in with the intention of fixing my piercing but walked out disgusted and happy they could not figure out my jewelry. They were nice but there was no sterilizer and the man did NOT wash his hands before putting on gloves. It was not clean nor safe for tattoos and piercings alike. I will not be returning nor recommending Shrunkin Tattoo and will stick to my usual piercer (Radiance Piercing-it is only piercing and VERY clean) Read Less

Nice artists. Really cheap. Good for simple things. Don't go if you want a custom piece, they make a big deal about it. Ryan's my guy.

I got my tounge peirced here. The lady who did it was prettt unprofessional and even had me hold the clamp on my tounge myself because she forgot something. 3 days later the balls were constantly coming off the peircing because she failed to screw them on properly. I called up and they said i couldnt get it done again for free because they warn everyone to be careful because the balls could come off. Never got that warning and that shouldnt happen anyway. I guess thats what i get for paying 20 for a peircing. Read Less

I got a tattoo here from Marvin. He seems very passionate about his work and he did an amazing job on my tattoo! I want to say after reading these reviews that the atmosphere was right. To the people bringing children and expecting them to be "professional" that's a lot of BS. First of all, you are in a tattoo parlor. You should be respectful of their space. Second of all, don't bring your kids if they can't handle an adult rated atmosphere. They were all super chill and nice in there and deserve mad creds. Read Less

Went there twice today 8/30/13. To get my girlfriend's Monroe piercing changed. 1st time today we asked when the piercing lady would be in?, bald guy said 12:30 or 1pm, that was all he said! We look at the the time and it was 11:45. He didn't ask us if we wanted to wait or set up an appointment he just ignored us assuming we would wait! We left of course and came back after 3pm, once again no one was there and this time no one was even paying attention to us when we clearly were speaking to them,, so then we left and while we were leaving then the bald guy wants to come out to assist us,, very poor service,, definitely won't be going back, abd will definitely spread the word about their poor service especially since I'm local and work at a local gas station and talk to everyone in town,,.
