Called and asked if a walk in was available and he said yeah. When I get there nobody acknowledges me and the guy seemed busy with his buddy trying to fix his line. I sat there for a half hour before finally giving up on the thought of someone acknowledging a customer with money in their pocket Read Less

Everyone was standing outside smoking and we're all too lazy to do a couple dimple piercings. I was in Columbus for the day from Cleveland and thought this was the place to go. Nope. It was a joke. Glad I drove the extra 30 miles to come here NOT. they said the equipment needed cleaning to do a dimple piercing. That was the excuse. I didn't ask questions because I didn't want to use them at that point anyway....... Read Less

Best shop ever ! And it’s run by one the best people you’ll ever want to be friends with! I will never go anywhere for my ink needs! Prices are the best , mine should have cost $4-$5K Shawn worked with me and I spent a fraction of that.. and the top quality and professionalism!! Read Less

Guy who runs email seems to be a prick.  You figured they would be a bit more poised in responses to garner more business.  I'll write an actually tattoo review here soon.  Might stick with Stained Skin in Newark. Read Less

I sent this email to them four days ago and no response.Hi there,I've decided to email the company about my experience before being "that customer" who writes a Yelp review before trying to contact first.My friend and I decided to go in the Parsons location yesterday and our experience went a little different than expected. This was my first tattoo so I'm going to be a little more nervous than the next. The work we received was pretty good, but the professionalism of our artist was ridiculous. I believe his name was Chris and according to him he "didn't really work there." Every chance he got he would talk about his coworkers when they weren't around. We didn't really need his drama, we have our own to attend to. On top of that, he was discussing the company's business plans in front of us to coworkers who clearly didn't know. I'm usually the sarcastic one and I can definitely take a joke. However, he was doing my tattoo and talking to his coworker and I jumped in(you know, because I'm getting a tattoo and want to enjoy it and not just sit there awkwardly) and his immediate response was, "Was I talking to you?" In which I responded, "No, but I was talking to her[coworker]." Then he kept repeating it. Why he decided to argue over trying to jump in on the conversation, I'll never understand.I showed Chris a picture close to what I wanted, it was pretty simple. It was a total of two triangles and some Roman numerals. He decided it would be a great idea to print out a picture of someone else's arm so it was incredibly warped and told me that I should just "trust him." He asked what the meaning of it was and he laughed. I explained multiple times that I was just a little nervous because it was my first tattoo and still wasn't reassuring that everything would be fine. My friend didn't know how to lay on the bench which he got frustrated and had an attitude about. I asked one more time, very nicely, if we could type out what I want instead of using a picture of someone else's arm. He had me go up to his coworker and ask if he could make it which made me feel bad. Josh and I only took about ten minutes to figure it out and it looked incredible, and he is the only reason why I continued on to get it. Honestly, I wish I would have asked if Josh could do it. He was kinder and way more professional. Lastly, working in the medical field I'm very cautious when it comes to sterility. He never opened the new needles in front of us which we didn't realize it until we were in the car after the fact. Meaning, we have no clue if the needles he used were sterile or not. On top of that, he was on his phone as much as he possibly could be. Knowing that cell phones, in general, are incredibly dirty, he probably answered five or six calls with his sterile gloves on. He carried on nonemergency and pointless conversation that could have waited until we had left.We wish we could say that our experience at 22 Caliber was nothing less than excellent, but it pretty much sucked. We also know it may not be the company itself but rather just the one employee; putting all of the great reviews we saw before going into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear back.Best, Read Less

Moses Allen has done three of my current tattoos. They are all excellent. He takes his time pays attention to detail and is an excellent tattoo artist. They are very reasonable with their pricing. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to get a tattoo. Read Less

I love 22 caliber! My mom and I went to get matching tattoos (her first one) and my fourth. We did a walk in and Moses Allen did both of ours. He did an excellent job and I'll be going back when I get more. Read Less

Came in at like 6:30 for a walk in and was taken back no problem they give all kinds of discounts and cut prices on shit and Pierce did an AMAZING job. Fast and painless, a damn good price and an awesome ass tattoo. Can't wait to come back! Read Less

The tattoo I have has great linework and great shading, but my artist may have hammered the gun on some surprisingly sensitive skin, or my skin just doesn't receive ink well, or something of the like. The reason I say this is because I (NSFW FROM HERE) bled just, everywhere and the tattoo has a good amount of scarring/spots that have lightened ink. Nightmare living, I went out after my session, felt something dripping down my arm, and just trailed blood and ink. I do not blame the artist, or anything like that, but please! If you're getting your first tattoo, know your limits and communicate this to your artist. I'll definitely return and get work from Misty, but I will inform her of this when I get it touched-up.

Misty Temple just rocks!Come vist Misty at 22 Caliber...it's way down south on Parsons...and when you think to yourself, "have I missed it" - no, just keep on driving.  The place is a simple but the art is not.  I can't speak to the other artists in the shop, but Misty has done a couple of pieces for me and she is great.  She is meticulous about cleanliness and safety, which I really appreciate.  Misty takes time to really listen to you so that she can turn your vision into a real, living piece of art.

The people were nice, very clean shop, they did a great job on my tongue and nose but not my belly button, he pierced to much skin and needed a longer bar, I ended up going to body jewels and they sold me horseshoe ring for my belly to heal properly and to thin out my skin so it'll look normal, overall a good place just get your belly pierced somewhere else Read Less

Love this shop! They also have a new shop on Hillard Rome Road. The shops are always clean and inviting and the people that work there are awesome! The guy that does my work, Anthony, is an amazing artist and did a HUGE cover up for me that looks amazing! The prices aren't horrible either. Definitely plan on going back many times and would recommend them to anyone looking for a place to get a tattoo or piercing done.They also offer tattoo lay-away, gift cards, and always have some kind of deal going on!
