I recently got my nose pierced at this wonderful place. The woman who helped me was kind and helpful. It was a little painful, there was a lot of blood involved, but all in all my piercing has healed nicely. I would recommend this place for piercings, however I do not know what their tattoos are like. I'm considering going back and getting more piercings in the future. Definitely one of the better places in town despite the fact that their shop looks a little ghetto on the outside. It's actually pretty okay on the inside. I wouldn't hangout there often but as far as tattoo shops go, this one isn't that bad. Read Less

I'm very disappointed in this place, and sad that it's even in our town. My experience isn't a new one, but I feel the need to share on here as much as I do outside of here. I will have the initials CR, carved into the leopard print on my back that is quiet distinguishable for the rest of my life or until I decide on removal. I went into ink station on my 18th birthday and was a girl trying to have fun when I guess the owner with the first initial C, and the last letter R and his son thought it would be hilarious to carve their initials on my back. While they were doing it they were laughing and the older was drawing and the little one peaking over my back saying 'oh man, oh man' and walking back and forth. As if I wasn't nervous enough. I told them not to, so I didn't think they were seriously doing this. When I was done getting my tattoo, or maybe I should say THEIR tattoo I was uncomfortable and just wanted to leave. When I tried to look in the mirror, they both swore it wasn't there and had me pay 120 for their initials. I didn't see them at first, I was just ready to leave remembering what my parents said about me not going at all. When I got to my sisters I immediately asked her if she saw anything including initials. She did, and then before I could even point it out to my brother in law, he pointed it out and asked me what the initials were for. I'm not impressed. I will never go back. I did not go alone, but I should have went with someone with I guess a stronger personality that my best friend and I. I will never ever ever recommend this place, if anything I will continue to recommend anyone but these people. Read Less

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. DO NOT GO HERE. "Lil Chris" did a terrible job with my ear piercing. I told him that I was not allowed to have hoops for my work and he told me that hoops were all he had and that he was out of studs. What piercing studio is out of studs?! Once I asked for my money back (he hadn't done anything) he REFUSED. He then proceeded to pierce my ear WITHOUT CLEANING MY EAR. This is against health code and I have reported this violation to the health department. Do not go here unless you want to be disrespected and get an infection. I look forward to getting this place shut down. Read Less

I was excited to get first tattoo and I had my eye on this butterfly made of flames. The lady that did my tattoo wasn't good at all. It took 45 minutes to get my outline done and it hurt bad, so I didn't let her finish it. The tattoo was an inch big and maybe an inch and half long. I have found out that she dug way to deep and there were so many blow outs that no one can tell what the outline is! I'm afraid to get it redone! Couple years later I decides to get a tongue piercing. Chris was the one to do it this time. I though the piercing went well until I couldn't get it to heal up. I waited 3 months and finally got some advice about it since my tongue kept splitting both ways. Come to find out, my piercing was crooked.  I should have known better!!! NEVER AGAIN. NEVER GO THERE!!!!!! Read Less

I got my third tattoo here like 3 years ago. It was a big tattoo covering a large portion of my back. I had an appointment with Chris. First I wanted to get it on my side but the design that the girl made wouldn't fit so he suggested that I get it on my back. I had to get the outline and color done on separate days because he was pushing so deep that I was very sore. When I went back to do the color he had to go over the whole outline again with a thicker outline to try and cover up the blowouts he made. After I healed I learned that I was allergic to some of the ink that was used to some of it was rejected by my body. When I went in to get it touched up they told me that I had to come in on Monday evening to get that done. When I came back on Monday Chris was all booked up and instead of having someone else fix it or making an appointment they told me to come back next Monday. Basically they had no intention on ever fixing it. I had to basically redo the entire tattoo somewhere else and since most of it was scar tissue it sucked. I would not recommend this place unless you want to pay for someone else to fix it later! Read Less
