Nice clean shop. Artist was very friendly, made sure we were comfortable and informed. Didnt hesitate to answer all our questions. Clean organized station. Does nice work. The guy that greeted us at the front desk could work on his customer/social skills, not very friendly. Overall, I would recommend shop. Read Less

Got my helix pierced with them and it was a great experience! The whole shop is clean, aesthetically pleasing, and professional. Not to mention they had a beautiful selection of jewelry to choose from. The piercing process was very pleasant and not particularly painful. My piercer Gene was very personable, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. He also made sure I was very clear on aftercare and answered any questions I had.Seriously great and would definitely go again!! Read Less

Finally a piercing shop that actually has earrings for your piercings, seems like a given, but it's not. I went to three different piercing shops on Long Island and not one of the shops had hoop earrings for my tragus or forward helix piercings. So I had to drive four and a half hour away to find a hoop. (Alright, I was in the area, but still.) So I'm strolling down Main Street in Oneonta and I see this place but they didn't open until noon so I walked into another piercing place down the street and they didn't have any hoops either. I really cant understand the concept of calling yourself a piercing shop if you don't have a variety of earrings to put in peoples' piercings. When this place opened at noon I walked in and voila, hoops for tragus piercings, amazing stuff, really.Side note: this place is airy bright and CLEAN. I was loving the exposed brick with the art on the walls, really nice place and made you feel like you were working in a sterile environment when necessary. The guy helping me was great and super knowledgable about all things piercing. He showed me a hoop and I didn't like the color of it, I wanted rose gold. He told me they could do some sort of magic back there to change the color of the hoop. Something with water light ions electrical activity, everything over my head basically. The hoop was $15 and since I hadn't had a piercing in my tragus for a few months, he wanted to do some kind of sterile insertion, which cost an additional $5. I have gone to piercing shops all over Western, NY have had my earrings sterilized and it didn't cost me anything but this place used a special machine to sterilize their equipment so paying the additional $5 just to be extra safe didn't bother me at all. The guy talked me through everything he was doing, which made me feel super confident in what he was talking about and also comfortable. I watched the sterilization process and also watched him change the color of the earring. It definitely didn't come out to be the rose gold color I wanted, it was very dark but it did have a gold tint so it was good enough for me. He put the earring in no problem and I was on my way. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to buy body jewelry or have a piercing done. It is clear they know what they're doing and have a really clean environment, which is always a plus in my book. Read Less

I've recently moved up to Oneonta and I've been here four times, the first was a consultation with Travis for a simple piece he took to an incredible work of art. That piece took maybe an hour and a half and it's vibrant and beautiful. A few weeks later I had walked in for a piercing with Jan and it was stellar, they were so clean in the process and she was so chill for the piercing. A few days ago I walked in for my friend and ended up getting a lovely geometric piece from Dan. The shop is so well kept, clean, and worth the cost, but overall affordable for the quality you get.

The place is very clean and upkept. I went with my friends once for them to get piercings. One of the girls wanted a different piercing on each ear and the employee was honest with her and said it would be extremely uncomfortable to deal with both healing at the same time, and to come back to get the second done at a later time. He was also super friendly and kind which makes everything more comfortable.The only place where this shop loses a star is another time I went in for my friend's tattoo. She had Travis, and while his work was beautiful and had clean lines, the tattoo had been blown out a bit. For anyone who isn't aware what that means, the ink leaked under the skin so there was a bit of color outside the lines (not super noticeable but not a good thing either). But Travis is a really friendly and talented guy, but I definitely feel compelled to report that one issue. Other than that, it's a great shop and I would recommend it as the best one in oneonta.

I just got another tattoo done today. Every time the service was excellent and the staff was kind. When it comes to tattoos I would highly recommend going here. Their cleanliness and knowledge is bar none. I've seen work by many of the artists and all are highly skilled. A special thanks to Dan for exceptional tattoo work. He is seriously a skilled tattoo artist. I look forward to my next visit. Thanks Dan. Read Less

Gene and Jan are amazing. Professional, knowledgeable, and kind! I recommend this place if you ever want a piercing, they take time to answer questions, they're personable, and easy to talk to. Its cleanest, most professional, well run, establishment in the upstate region. Read Less

Amazing shop and amazing staff! Gene is a master at his skill and trade. He did a perfect double nostril piercing on me and I couldn't be more happy. He was recommended to me by my first piercer who moved out of area and I drive over an hour to see Gene and it's more than worth the drive! Read Less

I had an absolutely fantastic experience getting tattooed here! I had a sternum piece done by Travis, who worked extremely hard to give me something that reflected my personality and spirit. I felt very welcomed and calm upon entering the shop, and to top it? The work was absolutely stunning. I'm so grateful for the accommodations made for me by the staff by staying late and giving me a bit of privacy for such an intimate place to be tattooed. I will definitely be coming back for any future work I'd like done! Thank you again for good laughs and an awesome experience! Read Less

From the first contact, by email with Jan, to the consultation with Craig and Travis, to the actual tattoo by Travis...all 5 Star. Very clean, very personal, great music playing in the background. (Not to loud...just perfect.). Since it was my first tattoo, Travis was great about explaining everything in detail for me. By the time he started, I was very relaxed. My tattoo was inside the wrist...and it didn't hurt at all. After Travis finished, he explained in detail how to care and clean the tattoo. While there they were doing much more detailed tattoos then mine, so if you need an experienced talented tattoo artist, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended. Read Less
