"Rey was phenomenal my first visit. Unfortunately he's not at this location anymore. Now it's run by teenage girls who will try to overcharge you like crazy (over $150 for a half hour tattoo) and try to flirt with you in front of your significant other. Definitely will be going elsewhere in the future."

"Guy does amazing tattoos here, his black and white work is mindblowing and the tattoo experience I had a few years back was amazing. Took my wife the past week to get her nose done and the appointment with his apprentice was smooth. Then we notice it's not healing right, something seems off, so my wife returns to the apprentice. She assures her that switching out the jewelry will help and it will be quick and easy, then procedes to remove the jewelry that she had pierced my wife with originally. only AFTER removing it does she then tell my wife that not only can she not put new jewelry in, but that she had originally pierced my wife with old jewelry and it would have to be re-pierced. For $20. How are you going to make two mistakes in one go and still charge her for it? Mind you my wife paid her $20 to essentially take her jewelry out and not be able to have it replaced at this point, on top of the original cost of the piercing. Absolutely unacceptable. I'm very disappointed and frustrated, and my wife is twice that."

"I would stay far far away from this place if it has anything to do with piercings or at least read the reviews because there's a couple other bad piercing reviews on here. There is no respect or professionalism at this establishment, I mean who calls their customers Ma, Mom, or Mommy. And his piercing trainee has absolutely no clue what is going on and she is beyond rude!"

"This was my first time getting a tattoo at this shop although not my first tattoo, and it was a great experience. I had a cover up done by Rey and it came out amazing! He was so friendly and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get work done."
