Awesome Experience! Â I've been in for multiple sessions to work on my sleeve. This shop is filled with extremely talented artist such us Stan, Jesse and richie.
Great clean shop. Very welcoming and down to earth. They made great suggestions to enhance my artwork. Their shop is very sanitary and on point which was a big concern for me.
LOL the guys that work here are soooo freaking hilarious omg. I can't speak for tattoos here but I did get a ear cartilage piercing here. Topher did mine and he so funny haha. Very fast and yeah it did hurt but the pain subsides relatively quickly.
$30 for cartilage piercing but they do run specials once in awhile. I do recommend, very chill place but follow all precautions and clean and sanitary.
There were people getting tatted near me and I'm sitting there cursing bloody holy mary of god getting ear pierced -_- anyway the shop was funny about it.
Would def come back if I ever decide to put my holes in my body. hopefully more gangster about it next time and contain my pain to a more appropriate decibel.
Granted, it may be located in a not so fantastic area (no offense to the locals) this is by far one of my favorite tattoo and piercing places in the IE.
I have received many tattoos here and every experience is AN EXPERIENCE. My friends and family have also come here for piercings and tattoos and everyone is always more than satisfied with their new body adornments. The prices are competitive and if you add the people who work there on your Facebook you will be up on all the shop and individual specials.
I have personally received many tattoos from Jared and Jingles "punched" my ears from the regular 18 gauge to a 6.
While some of the guys may look a little rough and tough, they are (mostly) big teddy bears :)
I've come here once. I got my lip pierced (snakebites) for a birthday present. The piercer seemed very offended that I wasn't just going to sit still and be completely calm when he was shoving a needle through my lip. I warned him that I have a problem breathing when I am subjected to pain and therefore, I would just need a minute, he scoffed at me. He told me to use alcohol to clean my piercings which I later found out leaves UGLY SCARS and dries out the skin which causes irritation and infection. My piercings never healed so I had to take them out. I would not recommend this place. It looks like a dive, it's not very well kept, the people aren't the best (and that's saying something in Moreno Valley), and the experience was overall terrible. Plus, it was expensive. Go elsewhere.
Review Source:I'd actually give them 4, except I'm not really a fan, but I would definitely take my daughter back, she wanted some piercings, it was Sunday, the other place (Inkaholics) for some reason they said they couldn't do it, so thats why we came here & this guy (forgot his name) said he would & did. That was good enough for me, made my kid happy, price wasn't too bad, the only thing I or we coulda done w/out was the other dudes (they were kids) but young men gawking at my daughter & at me (yea? WTF????), that was the only uncomfortable awkward moment, but aside from that, they took us on a Sunday and did what she wanted in piercings, so again, good enough for me....
Review Source:I got a tattoo here about a week ago. It was cheap considering the size & detail of my tat. I paid $170 + $20 tip for a 6x2 ambigram of my name which contained 9 letters. The studio was small & cramped especially during the day I went. There were approximately 10 people in there including the guys who work there and I was always like a foot away from someone. Overall The place was ok compared to other tattoo places I've been to.
The artist that helped me was alright personality wise, but when it comes to talent he needs to practice on more pigskins. He gave me his input on how it might look better on me so he offered to tweak my sketch at no additional cost, who was I to refuse an added bonus right? I don't know if he thought i was a regular or if he just forgot, but he never let me fill up a waiver or check my ID. Well, to sum things up I wasn't happy with the changes he made due to the fact that no one can barely read what my tat says or let alone figure out that it's my name. Sure I should have said something while I was still there, but why would I? He already messed it up once and I ain't letting him mess it up again. Â I would rather take it to a real artist. He also meated (tat term meaning he went over a line more than once causing you to scar and usually done by amateur tattoo artists) parts of my skin which took longer than usual to heal and hurt more than my other tats. My experience might be different from other customers because I have seen some of the work of other artists & their portfolio and they do good work, it could just have been my specific artist. In any case I would recommend inkaholics instead, they are a little pricier but better quality. Just remember you get what you pay for.
I decided to treat my friend and myself to lip piercings since it was her birthday. I have heard from other friends that this place was pretty cool and that a lot of them have gotten piercings here, so I thought that I should try it out.
There were books on different piercings that have been done which was pretty interesting to see what can actually get pierced. It was a pretty cool trip seeing my friend get pierced before me (she said she would freak out if she saw the huge needle, and if she went after me) it was really fast too! I really liked the fact that I could hardly feel the lip piercing at all. The guy told us how to clean it and if there were any questions to come back, or call or such.
Regarding what Michelle said below, he told us what gauge our earrings where. Or maybe I thought it would be a good idea to ask because I also gauge my ears and I know about the different sizes and stuff. He also told us how many weeks we should wait incase we would want to change the jewelry.
2 weeks had passed and I decided I wanted to change my jewelry on my lip, so I was going to do it at home since I looked up how to do it. I would get the balls off of my ring, but my friend couldn't and freaked out! So we went back to the piercing place and had the guy change the lip ring for us. He didn't charge us any money, but I did tip him for helping us out.
I will definitely pass on the word about this little piercing place. I'll probably come back if I feel like being a rebel or getting some more tattoos. :)
Oh, if anyone was wondering the COST of the piercings. Since it was my friend and I getting pierced, plus the jewelry (which you can choose what you want) it was $80, but adding tip it was more.
My sorority sisters and I decided to go here to all get pierced together.
The shop is small, but full of energy and fun. Â They're all very chill and joked around with us.
Tim, the piercer, was very nice. Â With seven piercings to do, in a row, he handled it well. Â I got my lip pierced and he was so good, that the needle didn't even hurt. Â He has a sense of humor, so be careful not to laugh and jerk, or he might "pierce your eyebrow".
If you go in a group, they might give a discount ;]
My first time getting pierced. Â Not sure what to expect, but I knew what I wanted. Â A nose and lip piercing. Â I'm such a rebel, right? Â No, not really!
They didn't even ask for ID. Odd, or I just look very old. I just sat down, told him what I wanted, he marked it with a pen and asked if the placement was good. Â I said ok and he pierced my nose first, then my lip.
Since I got 2 piercings, and my friend got 1, he gave us a slight discount, by rounding down the amount. Â It was about $200 for all 3 piercings not including tip.
As we left, he handed us an instruction sheet of what to do to take care of the piercings. Â I followed the instructions...very closely! Â He failed to let me know what gauge my piercings were, which made it difficult to buy more nose/lip rings on my own. I eventually figured it out.
It wasn't a bad experience. Â So, why the "not so great review?"
Both my piercings left a scar. Â That is probably most people's biggest fear about getting piercings done!
If he was really good at his job... I do not believe I'd have a nose and a lip scar. Â =(
I should have waited until I got back to SF and had it pierced on Haight Street like everyone else! Â
Anyone know how to get rid of scars? Â :(
