Was told by Will that he could draw something up in a few days and my wife called 3 times over the course of 2 months, each time being told to call again in a couple of weeks. The last time we called he said he "kept forgetting to finish it". If you don't have time to draw it up in 2 months than you should just be honest or you are wasting other people's time. Definatly do not recommend this place. Read Less

Absolutely love this place and have gotten my last half dozen tattoos here including my calf sleeve of The Little Mermaid done by Anthony. Sadly he's not there at the moment but he did some great work for me while he was. Will (the owner) and the others have done some great work for my family and friends too. Their prices are definitely in the range that they should be and the work is great. Read Less

I'm honestly not the type to write bad reviews, I've actually NEVER had to write one for anybody but I'm really so upset with this place. After always wanting my industrial done, I finally got it maybe two months ago. When she showed me how she was going to pierce it and the placement of it, it was perfect. I was able to see the bar in between. After it was pierced it was super swollen and I couldn't see the bar which is normal so I figured I'd wait a bit. Here I am, two mont...hs later, the swelling is completely down and the bar in between is still barely visible. It really pisses me off the fact that when I was showed, I could see it, but after it being pierced and the swelling is down, I can't. What's the point of having it if the bar is barely visible and I can't wear bars that have cute charms in the middle? My third and last time going here. Not to mention my boyfriends tattoo he got here was barely shaded in on some spots and the lines are very squiggly. I have and will never recommend this place to anyone after they messed up again. The industrial is already a painful piercing and I don't want to pay another $40 on having it redone when it should have been done right the first time. � See More Read Less
