Very professional tattoo and piercing establishment. I haven't gotten a tattoo from there but I have gotten 2 piercings and had no issues whatsoever. Everything is clean and sanitized. Staff are friendly and helpful with any questions you might have. Definitely recommend this place! Read Less

Unsanitary, poor customer service and unorganized. Story time... My daughter called to make an appointment to have her septum pierced. She spoke to the woman who stated she would be available in 20 minutes. We arrived 10 minutes later to the tattoo artist telling us the piercer was at Culver's. We waited. And waited. And waited. When my daughter asked the tattoo artist for a second time if the lady was going to be much longer. We received the same answer, "she shouldn't be long, she just ran to Culver's. I can't promise but I can't imagine it being longer than 5 more minutes." We continued flipping through artwork and magazines while we waited. When the lady returned with her fast food she scurried by us without even a glance in our direction with a "Hi". She proceeded to go to the counter where the tattoo artist stood to divvy up their food. With her food bag in hand she waved us to follow to her station where she left us to go stand in the back doorway to converse with a man who had met her at the shop. My daughter politely said, "Excuse me Ma'am we've been waiting and we have to get going." She replied with, "Oh, you're in a hurry?" Then we watched her scuffle in her drawers for sterilized tools for several minutes without luck in finding the tools necessary to pierce my daughter's septum. She then pulled her entire bin of used dirty tools from her bottom drawer, proceeded to the back room once again to clean the needed tools. It was at this point I told my daughter, "That woman is not sticking a needle in your body." We politely got up and as we were walking out I told the tattoo artist, "We called and she said 20 minutes. We were here in 10, waited another 20+ minutes and she's clearly unorganized so we're going to opt out." And we left. No matter the profession, customer service is key. If you schedule an appointment, keep it! Introduce yourself to your client and don't do other "dealings" with your paying customers in ear shot and get organized so you are able to do your job. My 18 year old daughter was highly disappointed with the experience at Lake City Tattoo. A few days later we went to another establishment in town. We walked in, filled out paperwork, showed her ID, went back to the piercer's station where he put gloves on, grabbed two septum rings for my daughter to choose from, opened his sanitized tools, explained the procedure in detail and proceeded to pierce her septum. We were in and out within 15 minutes. That's CUSTOMER SERVICE you can depend on! Read Less

I came here a few weeks ago to get my nipples pierced. I sat down and she made two uneven dots to mark where she was going to pierce the first one (while my nipple was not erect). I asked if I could take a look and she said "yeah, but it's going to come out even, don't worry.". I decided to trust her and let her proceed. She grabs the clamp and continues. It came out uneven and she immediately said "it's just the barbell weighing it down, it's straight." It is not straight. The second one came out so shallow I could see the metal through my skin. I have two friends that came here for the same piercing done by a younger girl and they look perfect. The place is very clean and the woman who pierced me was nice, but this is definitely a piercing you want done right the first time. Read Less

Girlfriend and I got our first tattoos here. Staff was very nice, helpful, and professional. The artist was great, everything was sterile and he showed me the new needle that was going to be used on me. Read Less

Great place to get pierced at. I was pierced by Lauren she was a total sweet heart in explaining everything to me about my piercings and guiding me with proper aftercare instructions. Service was quick, I was in and out the door in under 15 minutes for 3 piercings. They recently started using NeilMed Piercing Saline Mist Spray which is great for piercing cleansing, not an alternative to your sea salt soaks but a good addition to your regular cleaning routine. All equipment used was new in packaging and used specifically with me and disposed of. Overall, after just moving here to Wisconsin I am thoroughly happy with choosing them as my main piercing location now. I will certainly be returning in the near future. Read Less

I got my first tattoo here today with my BFF. We were both very nervous and had worked ourselves up a bit. Kristy was very knowledgeable, patient and reassuring. The experience was so overwhelmingly positive that my BFF turned right around and got her second tattoo before we left. I plan to bring my sister back here for her first tattoo and my second.

I was on a mini-vacation with my bestie and we went here for tattoos. We were so nervous because it was a first for both of us, but Kristy was awesome, so patient and calming. I left there with TWO tattoos!!! We definitely would go back to this place hands down. Thanks Kristy!! Read Less

I am soooo happy with my tattoo and experience that I had to share. Josh did an amazing job on my upper thigh tattoo. I gave him ideas of what I had wanted and the result was better than I could have imagined. After 4 hours of work, I am beyond impressed. Going back in 4 days for the other one! I will never go anywhere else for a tattoo. Thanks a bunch! Read Less

What an excellent experience.  The piercer explained the whole process and cleaned all the equipment in front of me.  When my nose piercing fell out in my sleep as I couldn't get it back in I went back and they re-pierced it for me and didn't even charge me!  I would highly highly recommend this place to anyone!
