Sleepy Lagoon Tattoo Parlor

Spur of the moment lip piercing! Close to my house. Madison did the piercing and she was awesome! Everyone was friendly (most important) and Madison was a sweetheart. My son had a little crush on her too lol. It cost $45 for the lip piercing.

Awesome shop. Feels like family. Great artists and a great atmosphere.

I came here in 2009 on my 18th birthday. The person who checked my id looked like they were in a bad mood. I was pretty excited, I went in for a nose piercing and a little tattoo. I told them it was my birthday and finally being legal this is how I wanted to celebrate. I got a blank stare, and no happy birthday or anything. I thought it was kinda rude. I would think they'd want to be a little more engaging with their customers.

This was my second tattoo, my friend did my first one. But this was my first one in a shop. So i didn't really know what to expect price wise. And didn't really do any research because a very close family friend recommended this place. And I trusted her. The experience of getting the tattoo was ok. There wasn't really any talking or anything. The guys were mainly just talking to each other. Me and my friend felt very awkward. They were making something I was very excited about, and completely took away my excitement. So my tattoo was a tiny cross on the back of my neck with some writing below. And when I say tiny I'm talking it was about 1/2inx1/2in. I got charged $80. And now that I have many more tattoos and much much larger ones. I now know that price was a rip off, and I feel like they did it just because I was just 18. So they took advantage of a situation. When I went back and told our friend what they charged me she was very upset. She was getting her entire back done by them and new everyone very well. She said I should get more added since it was so basic, but I didn't want to give these people anymore of my money.

So now my piercing..I got my piercing right after I finished the tattoo. Honestly it was horrible. I let him know I wanted to put a ring in my nose and not a stud. He said I'd have to start with a stud and then I could change it. So I said ok and asked if the stud was going to be curved at all. He said no it doesn't need to be. So we began the process. He marked me and cleaned everything so we could begin. He did not pierce my nose first and then put my jewelry in. My stud was an L-shaped bar and the end was sharpened. He shoved that in my nose. It was the worst pain ever. And since my hole is straight and not curved at all, I can't put in a ring without going though major pain. Because the ring is curved and I'm trying to force it in a straight hole. So its like re-carving my hole if I want to try to put one in.

I will never never never go back here.
