I can't say much about the other artists, but the one I set an appointment with came in on her off day. She was excellent and it was my best tattooing experience. Nicole Dagnellie was spot on.

I got two piercings here. i guess it was Joe, i don't remember, it was a few years back but I thought he was funny, knew his job well and gave me hoops instead of a stud which i prefer better.

George recently had his tribal tattoo down his right arm done by Joe. Joe did most of the tattoo by freehand. He is a true artist. We are extremely happy with the tattoo and am already working on a design for the left bicep with Joe. Our son gets his tattoos with Joe as well and is just as pleased as we are. Read Less

I went here to get a Buddha tattoo on my leg, I saw some of joe kennedys art on Instagram and was completely blind sided. His was insanely cocky and claimed he was the best and even criticized my other artwork saying they did it wrong. I was really adamant about the face of the Buddha since it is hard to do but he reassured me again he's the best in the game. Needless to say the tattoo came out horrible, the shading is all wrong and the Buddha looks like he is constipated. Never will I come here and looking to get it fixed , doesn't even deserve 1 star Read Less

Very pleased! Bobby pierced my belly button as well as my sister's tragus and he was friendly, professional and quick. All piercings are $50 which is awesome. Easily ten out of ten.
