This place sucks! They were complete jerks! The artists JACKED UP myself and my boyfriend's tattoo. My artist set up, stenciled me, then left the parlor and left me to sit there out in the open without a shirt on for 30 minutes. My lettering is so messed up and my boyfriends tattoo looks awful. STAY AWAY FROM BIG BUDDHA/ FLAMINGO INK. STAY. THE. HECK. AWAY. Read Less

By far my favorite tattoo shop and from what I've seen one of the best in Lubbock. Mike is a super sweet guy and always does his best to make sure that I'm comfortable and satisfied with his work. He's done quite a few pieces on me and they've always up and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a new tattoo. Very kind and professional artist, exceptional, quality and inexpensive work and just an all around great experience every time. I feel right at home at this shop every time I go in. Read Less

Mixed emotions,,!!!! I first called and talked to April and she quoted me a different price than what I ended up paying. Not a huge difference but still. And then the girl in the front room was rude to begin with, then had a change of attitude and was really nice!?!? Then a large group came in wanting tattoos and piercings and she literally fell asleep talking to a group of about 7 younger, loud, people. Like fell asleep standing up. Then they even said, NOPE SHE'S DEFINITELY DONEZO!!, And SHE was definitely on something and left. Thank God we got Brittney to do our tats. And they look Amazing!!! Definitely would go back for tattoos but never ever for piercings if she's the only one there to do them. Read Less

I agree with the other reviewer. The piercing lady (Ms. April) IS THE BOMB!!! Very very very child friendly. Knowledgeable, quick and understanding. Brought my 9 year old and 5 year old daughters to get their ears pierced. My five-year-old went first and said that it barely even hurt, she barely even flinched or anything was very very quick and it seemed to me, painless. April, maintained conversation with my girls the entire time and explained to them every single step, what she was doing and why. She could probably open her own store and make millions peircing 5 years old all day long. After she finished, i realized I lost my atm card somewhere. She made zero fuss about it, accepted what I had which was about $46 less than what I owed (had 2 daughters). She didn't call me once asking for her money When I returned 3 days later to pay and have my other daughter's ears pierced, she told me not to worry about it, however I laid it on her table anyway. My oldest daughter sumed April and her experience up in these words: "She's the best out of anybody, ever!" Thank you Ms. April Read Less

So I took my girlfriend for her nose piercing on her bday along with one of her friends. My girlfriend and her friend both rate pain a 2/10. Barely a pinch. Alongside Brittany, the piercer was super friendly and professional and did a great job of making it look beautiful and making the process super quick and comfortable! This was their first time so they both recommend that you should definitely ask for Brittany! Read Less
