I had gotten a tattoo from here about 3 years ago. I wanted another one and I remembered how clean this place was so this was my first choice. Upon walking up, Pete (one of the artists) was outside and I showed him what I wanted. He said he just needed a few minutes to draw it up and to come back shortly. When I returned, he was ready to go and it was exactly what I wanted. He was super friendly and professional and the shop is clean with lots of artwork on the walls and on display. The price was really reasonable and I am very happy with the outcome. I definitely think this is the best shop in South Side!
Review Source:Great service! I called in yesterday the person who answered the phone was super nice and welcoming! And then I went in not even thinking it was Friday the 13th I just wanted my septum peirced got it done by Doria I believe is her name! She's awesome knows her stuff I think she said she was an EMt at one point ! Then they said 13.00 tattoos with a 7 $ tip! 20.00 so I went upstairs Doria she got me signed up with Erin and she did a key for me where my one other tattoo was at on the inside of my arm, the beginning of my sleeve I do believe ! Â
Go there !!! They r awesome and hang other artists work up as well !! Maybe I I get lucky I can squeeze some of mine on the wall!
:-)! Satisfaction
I had a pretty negative experience here. Â I was told that my design was "about the worst design possible," which was condescendingly explained as being because I wanted it to have a circle in it, but "the human body isn't flat." Â Really!!! The human body isn't flat! Â No way! Â I'm pretty sure I've seen a lot of people with circles in their tattoos before. Â I have a tattoo on me already that was at least as complicated as the design I brought in to cyclops that they essentially refused to do. Â I appreciate that the artist I talked to was honest about what he thought would happen if he tried it, but given that there are about 100 other places on carson to get tattoos I was surprised that he was so rude. Â I definitely would have been thankful for expert advice about how to improve the design, but we didn't get anywhere by him simply deriding it. Â I also appreciate that a tattoo salon is not a department store where every employee is always expected to be cheerful and respectful, but my previous tattoo was done by someone much less apparently put upon when asked to try a challenging design. Â
In the end I'm glad that I didn't get tattooed here, because I wouldn't want someone that treated me that way stabbing me with needles. Â I give them two stars instead of one though because the place was very neat and clean, and the example art on the walls looked pretty good (but to my inexperienced eye equally as complicated, if not more so, as what I wanted but was refused). Â I guess if you really don't care how you are talked to and you want art that is their specialty, it would still be an ok place to go.
I only go to kyklops for my tattoos. I go to ther female artist Erin. I've gone to her 5 times now and she's fabulous. prices are fair and I tip her well because she's a talented artist. it feels like a friendly atmosphere everytime I go. from what I've seen the other artists are just as great as she is. they also do piercings here. I bought a nose ring here back in the day. I wish I didn't have to wait to visit Pittsburgh to hit up this amazing shop.
