Best experience EVER. Danny was super nice I was wanting an industrial done on a whim and was a bit disappointed to find I could not because my ear was not an ideal shape for it but with some brain storming from me and Danny we were able to do it on an angle the bar tilted just past my helix piercing. I've been pierced multiple times, my nose, brow,  helix,  snakebites etc and I've been told this is one of the rougher piercings on pain and healing, I didn't feel a thing and it's been a week and I have to remind myself to baby it because I don't feel anything and forget it's there. I've even slept on it accidently with zero problems. I think this has to do with how Danny pierced it it looks great and feels like I'll be coming back for some ink and more piercings for sure!

Great shop, better artist.Called and inquired about getting a tattoo done and Danny drew up exactly what I had in mind and I was in the shop the next day. I have a high pain tolerance, so the tattoo was almost nearly painless (had it done on the inside of my right elbow) it's been 3 days now, and the tattoo is almost completely healed and sealed, and it held all of its colors and lines. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality work for a fair price. Be sure to ask for Danny. Read Less

I liked the atmosphere however my "cover up" is an ugly black splash thanks to Shane who chose to ignore his co workers advice and do whatever was easier. He also went too deep in one spot so it didnt heal well. So if you go here for a cover up and they take you to Shane walk back out he can't do cover up work he will lie and say he's gonna fix his bad work on him and then you'll never hear from him again. Sucks because I actually like the tattoo but it is not a cover up thanks Shane now I have to spend more $$$ to fix this if its possible.Read Less

Seriously the best place ever. I didn't have a local shop since most of my tats were done out of state. My most recent in state one was done at Flaming Dragon 15 years back by a guest artist. Took a chance and Danny Brown got us in day after Xmas for amazing tats. He was friendly, professional, and my tat healed with no need for touch up, vibrant and exactly how I wanted it. Sent my sister their way for a tat fix on one gone wrong and Shane did amazing work finishing her sleeve and blending the mistakes from the previous shop. Now my bestie is back in the chair and I can't wait to get back myself. Danny even allowed us to use her latest design on a Tee for our Relay Team for next year's charity race. Really stand up people and an asset to the Garfield Street small business group. Read Less

I went in today to get a dermal removed and walked out without it being removed. Their were a few red flags flags that scared me off. 1. It took the girl working awhile to notice me because she was too busy chatting 2. It was dirty! I expected it to be clean an sterile but it was so dirty it scared me off3. The piercer did not keep the tools on hand which made me nervous and question how busy he was. If he doesn't keep the tools on hand he must not be very busy. The one good thing though and why I have it two stars. He was VERY nice. When he asked why I didn't want him to do it I told him nicely why an he was still super nice Read Less

This place is awesome. I came in wanting a small "girlie" tattoo on my wrist. One gentleman looked at it and said he couldn't do it, but another artist in the shop probably could and directed me to Laci. I respect the fact that this 1st artist was honest and didn't try to do something he knew he couldn't. Laci was amazing. She was very personable, and took the time to understand what I was wanting. Not only did she do a great looking small tattoo, but the details are spot on and it's very feminine looking. The tattoo is exactly what I wanted. I have been given so many compliments on it and my friend even went and got her 1st tattoo from Laci, because of the work she did on me. Laci is a great artist and stands behind her work. I will be returning in the future for more work by Laci. Read Less

A friend who had several portraits and mandalas done by Elijah recommended him to me and I'm glad to have found him. Elijah worked with me extensively to get my tattoo right for both of us and when the time came his work was precise, quick, and he has a super light touch. Elijah does a lot of designs and sacred geometry but his portraits are flawless photorealism, his  lettering is intricate--he's great. Highly recommended. Read Less

5/13/16 I got 3 piercings done by Megan. I got my septum and dahlias pierced. She pierced my septum incorrectly at an angle and too low, it was not in my sweet spot and it bled like crazy and is not suppose to do that. The jewelry for that is suppose to hang and instead it lifted up towards the tip of my nose and would stay there. She then thought it was the wrong size jewelry and then came back 2 days later and switched it for different jewelry, you are not suppose to do that. The dahlias she did were not even, and she didn't use the proper jewelry, she first used a flat back you are not suppose to use those so she had to take that out because it was imbedding into cheek. She spent I'd say 15 minutes trying to get the ball off to then insert an eyebrow ring into my cheek again not the proper jewelry. I took those out the next day because it was pierced in the wrong spot not evenly and hurt really bad and those started embedding as well. I went to see a professional piercer to have it looked at they said it was all done incorrectly and to remove the septum piercing. She came to my home to do these piercings. Her equipment was not sterilized with an onclave, she pulled out first aid wipes that help prevent infections it does not sterilize the equipment to prevent transmission of diseases like hepatitis. She began wiping down the clamps and jewelry with those first aid wipes before incorrectly piercing me. She is very unproffesional not licensed and not trained in what she is doing. I was recommended by a trained licensed professional piercer that I go get tested for diseases. I payed $30 for these piercings, I then asked her for my money back she said she would pay me back on Tuesday 5/17/16 she never payed me, so I contact her about this and she says she doesn't know when she is gonna pay me. I should have been payed back right away when I asked and I don't think I will be getting my money back at all from the sounds of things. She just got hired at this shop (probably because the owner doesn't care who he hires) and she told me I can come to the shop and get repierced for free, now why would I come back and get repierced by someone that doesn't get it right the first time and does not have sterile equipment? I wouldn't. I happily got it repierced by a trained licensed professional that sterilizes there equipment in the onclave right in front of you. So I recommend anybody that is trying to get pierced to not go to this shop. Read Less

Great Place, Great Talent and Wonderful People! I was referred here by my friend Billy for my first tattoo that I was very hesitant to get as I am very picky. I didn't want an evil looking or goth tattoo and needed something girly, bright, beautiful and detailed. Lacie is my perfect fit of an artist and I absolutely LOVE my tattoo even though it is not quite finished yet. I am constantly stopped and asked who is working on it for me with people wanting her information which I am all to happy to give. I have had the pleasure of getting to know and see some of the other artists here as well and have and will continue to recommend Lacie and Garfield Street Tattoo to anyone who asks.Read Less

Lacie talked to me about what I wanted and I showed her what I had in mind. The rose I wanted was about 3x3 in the picture and had a lot of detail. I wanted it on my wrist and about 2x2.

Went here kind of on a whim today with 4 out of our group of 5 getting tattoos. For 3 of us, it was our first tattoo. Danny did three of our tattoos, while a female artist (I didn't get her name!) did the other one. All of us couldn't be happier with our tattoos. The staff was super laid back and helpful. Definitely looking to go back and get more work done from this shop! �� Read Less

This place is awesome. I came in wanting a small "girlie" tattoo on my wrist. One gentleman looked at it and said he couldn't do it, but another artist in the shop probably could and directed me to Laci. I respect the fact that this 1st artist was honest and didn't try to do something he knew he couldn't. Laci was amazing. She was very personable, and took the time to understand what I was wanting. Not only did she do a great looking small tattoo, but the details are spot on and it's very feminine looking. The tattoo is exactly what I wanted. I have been given so many compliments on it and my friend even went and got her 1st tattoo from Laci, because of the work she did on me. Laci is a great artist and stands behind her work. I will be returning in the future for more work by Laci. Read Less

A friend who had several portraits and mandalas done by Elijah recommended him to me and I'm glad to have found him. Elijah worked with me extensively to get my tattoo right for both of us and when the time came his work was precise, quick, and he has a super light touch. Elijah does a lot of designs and sacred geometry but his portraits are flawless photorealism, his  lettering is intricate--he's great. Highly recommended. Read Less

5/13/16 I got 3 piercings done by Megan. I got my septum and dahlias pierced. She pierced my septum incorrectly at an angle and too low, it was not in my sweet spot and it bled like crazy and is not suppose to do that. The jewelry for that is suppose to hang and instead it lifted up towards the tip of my nose and would stay there. She then thought it was the wrong size jewelry and then came back 2 days later and switched it for different jewelry, you are not suppose to do that. The dahlias she did were not even, and she didn't use the proper jewelry, she first used a flat back you are not suppose to use those so she had to take that out because it was imbedding into cheek. She spent I'd say 15 minutes trying to get the ball off to then insert an eyebrow ring into my cheek again not the proper jewelry. I took those out the next day because it was pierced in the wrong spot not evenly and hurt really bad and those started embedding as well. I went to see a professional piercer to have it looked at they said it was all done incorrectly and to remove the septum piercing. She came to my home to do these piercings. Her equipment was not sterilized with an onclave, she pulled out first aid wipes that help prevent infections it does not sterilize the equipment to prevent transmission of diseases like hepatitis. She began wiping down the clamps and jewelry with those first aid wipes before incorrectly piercing me. She is very unproffesional not licensed and not trained in what she is doing. I was recommended by a trained licensed professional piercer that I go get tested for diseases. I payed $30 for these piercings, I then asked her for my money back she said she would pay me back on Tuesday 5/17/16 she never payed me, so I contact her about this and she says she doesn't know when she is gonna pay me. I should have been payed back right away when I asked and I don't think I will be getting my money back at all from the sounds of things. She just got hired at this shop (probably because the owner doesn't care who he hires) and she told me I can come to the shop and get repierced for free, now why would I come back and get repierced by someone that doesn't get it right the first time and does not have sterile equipment? I wouldn't. I happily got it repierced by a trained licensed professional that sterilizes there equipment in the onclave right in front of you. So I recommend anybody that is trying to get pierced to not go to this shop. Read Less

Great Place, Great Talent and Wonderful People! I was referred here by my friend Billy for my first tattoo that I was very hesitant to get as I am very picky. I didn't want an evil looking or goth tattoo and needed something girly, bright, beautiful and detailed. Lacie is my perfect fit of an artist and I absolutely LOVE my tattoo even though it is not quite finished yet. I am constantly stopped and asked who is working on it for me with people wanting her information which I am all to happy to give. I have had the pleasure of getting to know and see some of the other artists here as well and have and will continue to recommend Lacie and Garfield Street Tattoo to anyone who asks.Read Less

Lacie did my tattoos and I was blown away! She does amazing work! The rose she tattooed on me just blew my mind! I came on the night of $20 Tuesday, which is a really amazing deal! Lacie talked to me about what I wanted and I showed her what I had in mind. The rose I wanted was about 3x3 in the picture and had a lot of detail. I wanted it on my wrist and about 2x2. She made it happen! She even got the tiniest details in there! She has some magic in those fingers! I recommend Garfield St Tattoo and I also recommend Lacie, she is amazing! Read Less
