Do not go to this place they are unprofessional and crooks. 2 weeks ago today I maid an appointment for this date at 1pm. Pulled into parking lot at 12;55 and was in car finishing my cigarette. Just before 1 we saw this joker pull the curtain back and look out the window. We went to the door and it was locked.. we called and he said he left a message that he changed the appointment to Sunday at 4. He is a liar. I never received a message.so because I can't do Sunday I am out $60.00 deposit Read Less

Crucible Tattoo has a different atmosphere than most tattoo shops. Since it is custom tattoos, you get exactly what u want. Jay is a seasoned artist who takes great pride in his knowledge of tattoos, artistry, customer relations, and overall tattoo experience. The shop is clean and friendly, with the customers being the number one priority. Read Less

unprofessional child who runs the place. tries to scam his customers because he cant afford his bills then doesnt accept responsibility and hangs up and stops returning calls. please everyone dont even consider this spot if you want a quality tattoo and want it to be done by an even semi decent professional adult Read Less

My cousin and I just got tattoos done here and it was great. It was both of our first times getting a tattoo. It took a little longer than expected to get going but after we started it went pretty fast. I sketched my own tattoo and his stencil came out great. My cousin had no idea what she wanted but he worked really well with her to created something she ended up really liking. The shop minimum is $60 and they only take cash unless it's over $100, so if you're getting something small and not very detailed and are looking for something cheaper I would suggest going somewhere else, but if you want quality for your money I would highly suggest Crucible. Our tattoo artist had over 22 years of experience which ease my mind a lot when he started. He took a lot of time cleaning and getting everything prepared in between tattoos also. He was really nice and was helpful when we asked about after care instructions. I hope to go back and get another tattoo soon. Read Less

I went to him to get a couple of piercings done and he was the best ever! Very professional and everything was brand new out of the package. He helped calm my nerves down and the process was seamless. I would recommend everyone to go to him for anything. Real cool dude!!! Read Less

After my artist moved away, I went in search of a new artist and new shop. I stumbled into Crucible Tattoos because of their convenient hours being open late after I get off work and being open on Sundays as well. After being in the shop, I was directed to Jonah. Not many artists understand my style of giving my artists little guidance and constructive criticism, but he was and is very patient in order to create a unique and creative one of a kind piece. Out of the past 8 months I have received 3 tattoos from Jonah in which turned out absolutely beautiful. I absolutely love the atmosphere of the shop; all the employees are inviting and make you feel welcomed. I would recommend the shop to friends. Read Less

Jonah tattooed my sister, cousin and myself and did an amazing job!! Was super friendly and made all of us feel comfortable with him. He fixed a tattoo that someone else had messed up on me. If you want a great tattoo and a great artist Jonah is the man! Read Less

Got my nose pierced as well as my upper ear and second holes on my lobes. Great service, really calm and sweet, walked me through the process and they had me out in no time. I can only give it 4/5 stars thought because you need to pay with cash and the outside facade just looked a tad bit sketchy at first. Read Less

Jonah did an excellent job. This was my first tattoo and I was nervous but he was calm and extremely professional. It was obvious that he cares about his work. The place was clean and Jonah was meticulous in his preparations. I had sent him a photo of what I wanted and he got it exactly right. He is truly an artist. I have had many compliments on my tattoo.

I was soo nervous to get my tongue pierced. I hate needles and I thought I was going to pass out. Jack talked me through everything! She was very comforting and she even fanned me for like 10 min until I got my color back from my face! I would totally go back here again! Also very clean!! Read Less

I got a piercing done today and was extremely nervous. Jack was AMAZING!! She explained everything she was going to do, answered all my questions, and carried on a conversation as well. I will definitely go back to her if I get anymore piercings done. Awesome experience. Read Less

Both my boyfriend and I got tattoos done there last week by Eliza and we are both really happy with them! She did an amazing job. They look great, the shop was clean, and the pricing was fair. We'd definitely go back. Read Less

Called to get pricing on some piercings and made my appointment. When I arrived I was greeted by jack and she helped me get set up. Walked me through her procedure. Got pierced and she explained how to take care of them. The rest of the staff was very personable and help consult on some additional tattoos. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND CRUCIBLE!!! I will be returning for the rest ofMy piercing and ink needs! Read Less

Terrible.First off we make an appointment for an ear piercing and nearly half way driving to the shop we get a call saying the piercer called off work. Than, we make an appointment for the next day for a piercing at 12:30, we arrive at 12:20 and only two young adults are at the shop, they make a call to the piercer saying we are waiting, and than he asks us id we can come back at 1:30 because he was running late. luckily there was other tattoo shops nearby that were actually wiling to serve there customers respect and get to work on time!

Just had a tattoo done by Jay and it looks wonderful. The staff were all very passionate about art and very talented. I love the fact that they use European ink (held to much higher standards than U.S. ink and much better quality). The process was clean and the artist had a light hand, so it wasn't as painful as some of my other tattoos. Overall, very impressed. Read Less
