Can't recommend. Got a piece done last month and I noticed that it hurt more than any other tattoo ever has, like I was crying and white knuckling the table. It was my fifth tattoo and second on my chest, so I'm not unfamiliar with the pain, but this was next level. After the tattoo, Kristina bandaged me up before I even looked in a mirror, which was a huge mistake, because if I'd looked, I'd have seen the huge blowout over more than half of the tattooed area. A blowout is typically caused by an artist using too heavy a hand, causing the ink to bleed into the subcutaneous layers under the skin. It results in a "fuzzy" undefined line and cannot be corrected except by camouflage or cover-up. I sent Central Ink a pic of the blowout and they responded that it was bruising and should clear up in a few days and asked me to come back in a week for them to look at it. I showed a few other tattoo artists the same pic and they informed me that the blowout was obvious and could not possibly be mistaken for a bruise. I knew then that I couldn't trust Central Ink to even fix their mistake, since they wouldn't acknowledge it in the first place. Shady place, I'd recommend going elsewhere unless you just don't care about what's going to be on your body permanently.

Horrible, the lady in this place, if she even still works there should not be tattooing anybody. This place is an embarrassment to the art of tattooing. Fort sill should black list this place. Want a real tat? Go see Mike Evans at elite tattoo, he’s one of the best in the region.

I got two tattoos by Richard on both of my sides with the BOGO deal. The first was just a quote and the free one was a quote with more details around it. The first one he did a good job on and the second with the quote and more detail looks like a little kid tattooed on me, the colors in my stars are faded, I had a little scarring, the lines are off, the moon looks like an earth, it’s a mess but I guess that’s what I get for thinking a BOGO was gonna be worth it. Maybe he was having an off day or something but now I have to have this on me the rest of my life, think about what you may have.

I am 61 years old, to celebrate I got a daith piercing. She was great!!I was told it would hurt and it did! I was walk through the whole experience, even if it did hurt it was not bad. It's been 3 days, and right from the first day the piecing has not hurt or given me any trouble. I can sleep. She told me how to clean and take care of my ear. My ear is not even red. I will tell every one to go their. I had a wonderful
Experience at Central Ink
Thanks guys!!

McKenna pierced my septum! She was awesome! She let my friend sit in with me because I was nervous and she talked me through it too. She gave very simple instruction on care, and was super friendly! Everyone else that works there seem very straight forward, but no one was mean, contrary to what some have said in other reviews. I will definitely be coming back again! Oh, and be sure to tip because it's art.

Yesterday, I got my first piercing (besides the automatic ear piercing that parents give a lot of children.) I was pretty nervous at first. However, Kevin helped me at the front desk. We joked around, and he explained how getting a bellybutton piercing can be a little dangerous but also made sure that i knew exactly how to clean and what to clean it with. He double checked that everything was sterile, and that i was sterile before hand. He was very calm and reassuring and made me take to keep my mind off of the needle (i am very scared of needles.) We joked about how i said ow when it happened and he explained how everything was going to work. He cleaned it up, and gave me napkin just incase I bled. And to top it all off, he made sure i was okay before letting me leave and told me to come back if i started feeling anything but good. I would come back for any future piercing and i would 100% recommend every one to get their piercings done here.

My husband and I have both gotten tattoos done here. All the artists are cool and they have the kinds of attitudes that make you feel comfortable. I came in extremely anxious after not having gotten a tattoo in three years. However, Tank and the rest of the artists made me feel comfortable and Tank did an amazing job. My husband and I both left with good work and we will most definitely be back.

My tattoo had an imperfection, so they told me I could go get it touched up for free, they ended up making it look even worse. Do not go here, or you'll regret it.

I haven't went yet but I was wondering if they did piercings for teens? my niece is turning 14 on the 12th and I promised her on her last birthday I would get her one on her 14th! But I don't know if any place would allow it to be done. This place has the highest rating that's closets to Duncan all she wants is a "Monroe piercing" that thing you get on your upper lip a little ways away from you nose. I would really appreciate it if someone got back to me about it!

Ive been reading through these reviews and it seems like people here are very misinformed. For one, do not bring a service dog that had loose hair into a tattoo place where they cause harm and open wounds to help people make art out of their bodies. If a hair gets caught up in the tattoo that person will have a ruined tattoo and a painful ride ahead of them. Also, if you go in for a piercing, you should know more about yourself before putting foreign objects into your body. Because the artists wont be able to tell you. Central Ink, keep doing what youre doing. I had nothing but a good time hear and great service.

Would NOT recommend this place for piercings at all! I trusted that they knew what there were talking about when asking if my ear would be OK for an industrial piercing. I already have two upper piercings, one on each ear. They claimed it would be fine, so I went ahead. I got home a few days later and went to a local tattoo/piercing shop and they immediately noticed some things were not right off from just looking at it! First off, the piercing retainer they used was basically PVC piping which over 4+ months can break down and release toxins into your body (was not told about this what so ever!). Second, my ears cannot handle an industrial piercing because of the fact that the bar will put too much pressure on my ear and rub towards the center of where the bar is causing irritation. Wish I would have known some of this before being told "Yeah, it'll be fine." Such bullshit! I am the type that typically won't complain about bad service but this one warranted one!! Maybe this will help someone else that's thinking about getting a piercing from this place!
