Great place! Went in to get my ear lobes pierced since I hadn’t had earrings in for about 10+ years. The owner, Ann, was honest with me and said my holes would probably open back up easily, and I wouldn’t have to pay for the piercing. They did end up opening and she only charged me for the jewelry. Very friendly and SUPER clean. You can tell they care a lot about hygiene. Everything was cleaned and sterile and there was not a thing that looked out of place. Highly recommend! 10/10.

After an extensive amount of searching for the right tattoo shop for my first tattoo, I eventually decided on Darkwater Tattoo and I am so glad that I did. The shop is really clean and all the artists are very good. I decided on scheduling my appointment with Ann Palmer and I am just so happy that I did. She did a rose floral tattoo design on the inside of my forearm and completely made me feel at ease. She explained everything thoroughly and let me know to ask as many questions as I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with! Thanks again Ann!

Ann and Chris are true artists. My tattoo an "off the wall special" I have had for 15 years was beautifully covered with a new exquisite design done effortlessly by Ann. The shop is clean and friendly and has a relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend this shop for your first or fiftieth Tattoo. Thank you again Ann, for my transformation.

First off, I am no stranger to the piercing needle. I have four lobe piercings in each ear, a daith hoop in my left ear, and a nostril piercing. I visited the shop for a conch piercing on 4/12 to add to my left ear, and my experience was the best piercing experience I've ever had. Ann was runs a beautifully clean and professional shop, and is so much fun to work with. I felt like she truly cared about my experience and helped pick piercing jewelry that represented my personal... style. She offered to help me change my current jewelry as well. She explained her process to me before she pierced me, and I know I can go to her at any point if I feel like something is strange with my healing process. I have reccomended her to friends already, and I know when it comes time for my navel piercing in the future, I will most definitely be back in her chair! See More

My daughter and I had a tattoo appointment last evening with Nicole. For sometime I have wanted a design as a tribute to my own mother who passed away over 20 years ago. Nicole did an amazing job and I am beyond pleased with her incedible artwork! She's an amazing artist and made the evening thoroughly enjoyable for myself and my daughter...who was equally as thrilled with her piece as I was with mine. THANK YOU!! We will definitely recommend the studio to others :-)
