Courtney is my "go to" girl for a tattoo here. This is the second one she has done for me, and both experiences were very good. She does excellent work and is very reasonably priced. She ensures a complete understanding of what I want so there is no disappointment. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ginger is the piercer there, very knowledgeable and honest. Only wants what's best for your body, makes you feel comfortable before during and after the process. Makes sure you understand what he's doing before moving forward and asks if you have any questions. My trust in him has increased greatly over the last year that I have been a regular customer. Specials on Fridays. In the tattooing aspect majority of my tattoos have been done by Brian, I love his realistic work, he will give you his pointers (draws are paper will not have the same outcome on skin). But in the end he makes sure what you want is top, but makes sure to advise you of his tattooing knowledge so the tattoo itself is the best it can be. Reasonable pricing, friendly, entertaining, respectable, honest artist. I have also seen Greg for one tattoo, very friendly, respectable, honest as well. I have not had any negative experience at the shop in general. I highly recommend them for all piercing and tattooing needs. The also have a display case with art for sale, skulls, insects. I have a higher respect for them because they are honest, I want someone I can trust and cares about their clients, sometimes you may not want to hear something, but I'd rather have a relationship beyond a business, you're not just money there, you're pretty dang close to family.

Rocket did a tattoo for me today...my first time going to Big Guns (Oshkosh). He did a beautiful piece of art on my foot! He took my stock pic and put his own artistic stamp on it and I love what he did. The shop was very clean and Paige and Rocket were very friendly. I highly recommend Big Guns in Oshkosh...ask for Rocket!

Ginger was very knowledgeable and professional. I was apprehensive about getting a Daith piercing, but I felt safe in his capable hands. I would recommend him to anyone getting a piercing.

Over priced. I went to get my nose repierced by them and they had only 2 choices for jewelry one of which was 40 and one of which was 60. What kind of a shop first of all o ly offers two choices in jewelry and second offers its lowest priced at 40 that's insane. I got my nose done the first time by flesh chamber of appleton and was only changed 25 bucks with a wide variety of starter jewelry. Also tattoos here are over priced. I recommend personally jake at electric tattoo of neenah. Amazing artist fair prices

Brian was my most recent artist. He did a fantastic job, and one of the tattoos was definitely painless. I've had art done here before, about 5 years ago by the Don, including one that he fixed from a previous shop. They still look as beautiful as the day he did them. Go here if you want the very BEST!

I was there looking at tattoos and went to take a picture of one for me and my friends but then the lady yelled at me when there were NO SIGNS saying no taking photos of the pictures. I did not take the photo out of respecting her saying not to but the other female there who knew the worker told me to delete the photo, I told her I did not take one and yet she starred at me and said a rude comment under her breath. GREAT place to go if you want to mistreated and yelled at for nothing. π

Had a tattoo done by Brian last week and am trying to get in for another one this week - he rocked it! He did exactly what I wanted, how I wanted! I have been to other places and have always left feeling like I didn't get what I was expecting, not exactly disappointed, but just never felt happy when I left - until Brian at Big Guns Appleton!!

Wasn't the greatest piercing experience for myself; seemed rushed and they don't give you a choice for nose piercings like other places I have been; wasn't a huge fan of the corkscrew nose piece. Although it could have been worse and there was a lack of professionalism but still has that late night ( even during the day) grunge tattoo feel. At least the piercer was nice.

Please stop hiring ANYONE who needs a job! And stop over chaining the tattoo industry with extremely low quality chain stores. Yes, this does give me a ton of business thru re-works and cover-ups-but it undermines the Integrity of the entire TATTOO industry! When someone gets a tattoo, it's gonna be there for a long time-so it needs to have the same care and consideration as is it were going on yourself. This can only be done properly by those in the industry who have the proper SKILL, PROFESSIONALISM, and KNOWLEDGE to do so. If your tattoos are so bad that they need to be covered up, then you need to find a job more suited to your skills, whatever they may be. One of my best skills is TATTOOING, I create the BEST tattoos that are EXACTLY what my customers want and thats why I do it-NOT because I can make "easy" money at it................final word is FAIL.
