Mantra Tattoo and Piercing 1695 Wadsworth Boulevard, Lakewood, CO 80214

"Let me just start by saying the first time I came here I had a pretty good experience and I hardly leave bad reviews but the experience I had with the piercer was so bad I wouldn’t want anyone else to have to experience this. I already had one nostril pierced and I was wanting the other side done, they did it but I had a hoop in so it looked fine. After I changed the hoop on one side you could really notice it was not even. I didn’t think much of it at first but went back in because it really was not the vibe, I was nice when I came in I figured it wasn’t their fault it was probably because I had the hoop in. The guy piercer literally comes over so defensive and starts insulting my intelligence saying “its because of swelling” even though it had been 7 months since I got it done. (Mind you he wasn’t even the one who did the piercing so the attitude was really uncalled for). I kept my composure and put my fingers on the piercings and said you are telling me this is even? And he said well I can tell your really exaggerating your fingers. Like what?? I literally left and went to a shop up the street where they told me it clearly wasn’t symmetrical and if I let it close up they could re piece is. That’s all I wanted was a solution. I wouldn’t come here again because they clearly have some sort of superiority complex it was ridiculous."

"I've gotten many tattoos from David Wilson and I love them. He's an amazing tattoo artist. I recently just got my nipples pierced and the piercer was amazing. Talked me through it and was very gentle! 10/10 experience. I always reccomend people to go here."

"I was referred to Chris by a local tattoo artist and after reading all these reviews about him, I knew I would survive whatever I was about to deal with! I had a conch piercing done over a year ago (by another piercer) and it healed great. I apparently had some type of injury to the area recently that caused major swelling. The swelling caused the backing of the jewelry to pull inside of the ear and I could not get it out myself. Chris was very honest about the process to get it out. He was as gentle as he could be and very kind during a more challenging jewelry change! He did a great job and it's been doing great ever since. Thanks for helping me through that one!"

"Just had an incredible experience getting my flat pierced. Chris was professional, detailed and a perfectionist. He addressed my concerns and his apprentice, Hannah, was great too. The shop has a wonderful selection of jewelry too. Will definitely go back."

"I stopped by to get some help changing my nose jewelry and wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do. Chris was amazing helping me pick jewelry and got everything changed out quickly. He was so kind, patient, and knew what he was talking about! I will definitely be returning to him for future piercings."
