Great work. I got a cover up that was astronomical. Low prices for good work. The artist designed my art with everything i asked for. Definitely check this place out.

I had such a great experience here! Everyone was so nice and helpful. I came in for my second tattoo. My first tattoo experience was not very good. Forever Inked came highly recommended. I was able to give Dan a rough idea of what I wanted and he turned it into something better than I imagined. They were very sterile throughout the tattooing process. Afterwards Dan gave thorough information on how to care for my tattoo over the next few days and even beyond that. I will definitely be back for any further art work! Read Less

Didn't get the chance to get my tat, but just want to warn ya... I paid a 1/3 - 1/4 ($100) NON REFUNDABLE NO MATTER WHAT deposit and even though I gave them 24 hours that I needed to reschedule, they told me I would still lose my $100 deposit regardless. They have a 9 day rescheduling policy, so if you are good at seeing if unforeseen events will happen 9 days out or are psychic, this might be a good place. That artist seemed really cool and easy to collaborate with. Otherwise, i'd avoid the sham and find a shop with a reasonable rescheduling policy of 24-48 hours. I thought deposits are to protect both parties..? Not here though. Read Less

Almost 7 weeks ago I got my Daith pierced that day I had a migraine for 3 day's I had been considering it for a while and kept putting it off. So I decided enough was enough I called and Lauren answered and said she could do it anytime that day so I went. Best decision ever I was having migraines 3-5 a week for months. So far I haven't had not one migraine it is amazing!! The whole thing didn't take very long at all to do, and they are very clean and know exactly what they are doing, she even offered to help me change it once it was ready to change! Read Less

I've had bad tension headaches for years and the medicine would always make me sick. I was desperate for some relief. I happen to drive by the shop and thought I'd go and see if they do this war piercing for headaches. Lauren e amazing told me everything I needed to know even called me to check on me a few days later. I had a had At least two headaches everyday for months and jyst couldn't get rid of them. I walked in with a headache from hell and wiggled out find relief. I can proudly say I haven't had one head ache since I got it done. THANK YOU (IN TEARS) HAPPY AND GREATFUL FOR THE LIFE I HAVE BACK.

I got a daith in Virginia a year and a half ago, and the girl who did my first said that my ear was too small for a hoop. I came in to get Lauren to do my others side, since I had so much success with the first one. She was great and changed my first daith to a hoop. Lauren cleaned and sterilized everything, including my barbell that she took out. I have had much success with the daiths, as my migraines are less frequent and not as severe. I would recommend daiths and go to Lauren at Forever Inked to get them done. Great job finding Lauren, Danny and Alisa! Just added to your great crew! Read Less

I went in on 3/2 to talk to Lauren about a daith piercing to help with migraines! She had done a lot of research and had customers with success from her piercings! (some of them I personally knew) When I went in, I had a terrible migraine, almost throwing up. The piercing helped immediately! On 3/18, due to side effects from coming off a steroid medication too fast without tapering, I had another headache (opposite side from my normal migraines, still not hurting on the side ...she pierced) so I went back to Lauren for her to pierce the other side. It worked immediately also! She knows what she is doing, is very thorough and super sweet. She also calls & checks up on you after you've seen her! Any time I want my jewelry changed out, all I have to do is go see her. I'm very happy with my results and would recommend anyone considering this, to go see Lauren! Everyone working there was extremely welcoming and nice...a lot of care was also taken in sterilizing and cleanliness! I took 2 other people with me to have theirs done, everything was wiped down and recleaned after each one of us got our piercings! Ver más Read Less

They have given my sister and her family excellent tattoos that come from their hearts so when I came out from New Mexico I wanted one too. Dan give s exceptional artistic advice and really listens. I just had the Trinity symbol inside of a circle done above my ankle and it was fast and it's beautiful and healing well. I highly recommend this shop. Read Less
