Quillian Tattooing & Piercing

Steve gave my Husband a Big Colorful Octopus tattoo. He did a great job. Hes funny and personable. Price was good. Clean environment. The girl at the front desk (Taylor? ) was sweet. We met a few of the other artists. Most are talkative and funny.

Professional, well organized, clean and exceptional service. Very satisfied with the work that was done on a couple tattoos of mine. Quality tools, ink and products used during my session with a friendly staff that made the time fly by. The owner is a wonderful gentleman with a great personality. This tattoo parlor is full of experienced workers with great talents.

SAM BURNS is an amazing artist!! She was very personable and flexible with our design, tailoring it for each of our bodies and working with our preferences and placements. The shop was very clean and everyone we had contact was super nice and accommodating. We spent 5 hours in the shop and time flew by as we were all excited about how amazing these turned out. I can’t recommend Sam enough, I’ll be back whenever I’m ready for another tattoo!

I just had my first tattoo done here. I had Caleb as my artist, and it was a great time! He was super friendly and professional, and let me know what to expect and answered all the questions I had. The tattoo itself is absolutely beautiful, and Caleb will definitely be my first choice when Im ready to get more work done in the future!

I had such a good experience at the Quillian! They have such a clean shop! The staff are friendly, inviting and professional. I would highly recommend them for a piercing! Desiree is AMAZING! She made me feel calm and comfortable before and after getting it done, talking me through everything! I would definitely go back to get another piercing done or even try a tattoo!!

This was my first tattoo and I had Steve. He was very enthusiastic and it is easy to tell he has a passion for his art. I was nervous, but he made the entire process enjoyable. We had lengthy intelligent conversations, all and all I would highly recommend Steve and the Quillian. Will definitely be back for future tattoos.

Great enviroment! Great people! I reccommend to anyone wanting a tattoo! This is the place to go, plan to go back for more!

This was my 2nd tattoo with Aaron. He is AMAZING! Very professional, funny, entertaining AND a fabulous artist! Im only home for half an hour after my appt and am already planning what to get next. I would HIGHLY recommend this shop and especially Aaron! Can I give him 4 thumbs up?!

I had my first tattoo with Tommy and he was great. He walked through all of the steps with me and kept making sure I was comfortable throughout. My tattoo turned out amazing! Will definitely go back!

Aaron is incredible!! I got my first tattoo on my sternum and he made me feel relaxed and comfortable, and oh my goodness he is talented! I couldnt be happier. The other artists seemed really cool too, I dont think you can go wrong if you choose to come here :)

I recently had a disaster of a tattoo covered up by Aaron Vasco and it looks absolutely incredible. Im so happy I chose to get my tattoo at the Quillian while I was visiting from Colorado. I have another tattoo that was done at the Quillian in 2007 and its still just as bright and beautiful as the day it was put there even though Ive never had it touched up. Cant recommend them highly enough.

My experience at the Quillian is better described as a 10 Star rating! The professionalism and cleanliness of the shop is absolutely top notch, everyone did their very best to make me feel comfortable and welcome from the moment I walked through the door.I took in many pictorial references of the types of tattoo styles I liked when I met with Pat for my consultation, and he was great at interpreting the tattoo into a design that went far above anything I could have ever imagined! Im so happy that I gave him complete artistic license in the piece, and the quality of art, color saturation, and design of my tattoo is stellar!!! I highly recommend both The Quillian...and Pat..to anyone considering a tattoo. You wont be disappointed at all!

Very happy with the quillian! Very professional! I had a tattoo I had gotten at a different studio that was not done well I hated to look at it. Caleb did an amazing job on my cover up! I couldn’t be happier! I will choose the quillian every time and so should you!

Desiree is the absolute BEST!! I went in for a nose piercing and was really nervous (and Ive given birth twice!). She set me at ease and was thorough about the process. Afterwards, she was transparent about realistic aftercare, and dispelled some of the myths for me. It was such an amazing experience, Im actually considering another body piercing now. Thanks Desiree!!

Desiree is an absolute pleasure and awesome human being all around. I went in for a simple second piercing in my ear loves today. She was aboslutely awesome and I had so much fun talking to her. She made the times so easy and relaxing. I would go back just to hang out with her. Shes an absolute perfectionist at what she does and I couldnt get my piercings from anyone else. ❤️❤️

I have been tattooed several times at The Quillian and I definitely would return myself and refer friends if they are ever interested in a clean, safe place to have piercings and/or tattoos done.Not only is this place incredibly clean and sanitary it is fun to be tattooed there.My artist is Patrick and he is just one of the amazing artists there! They have been operating for just over 20 years in the Lehigh Valley and it is definitely because of their artistry and determination to be the best at what they do!

Went in to get my septum pierced. Went great, it was very clean, everyone was very friendly and professional. My piercer helped me mentally prep before going through with the procedure which really helped. She also showed me how to flip it up and down when needed, how to keep it clean and what to expect during the healing process. I ll definitely be back wheb I decide to pierce something else or get a tattoo ❤❤❤ 10 stars. Highly recommended!!

I have been coming to the Quillian for 10+ years now. Steve does all of my work. He is the owner and the coolest guy youll ever meet. He is a fantastic artist, his tattoo work is top notch, and he is quite a conversationalist! I have checked out the other Quillian artists on social media and admire their work, as well. You cant go wrong at the Quillian! My daughter got her first tattoo here recently, and she feels the same way. Stop by and check them out. The customer service is above and beyond!

Received my first tattoo today at Quillian. The entire process from quote, the schedule, to the actual tattoo was streamlined and easy. Caleb was my tattoo artist and was an absolute joy. His art style absolutely aligned with what I had in mind and he kept me at ease throughout the two hour process. In general the experience was fantastic and when I get another it will definitely be at The Quillian.

I got my septum pierced here and the woman at the desk as well as the piercer were so nice and hillarious. I loved the personality of the woman who did my piercing, she was really funny and made me feel really relaxed. She even gassed me up after I got the piercing. Definitely reccomend and I personally will be going back for any future piercings. Also, I think it was pretty cheap, only 30 dollars for a basic septum ring. 👍🏼 Great deal considering how clean the place was!

Came in because a piercing i did elsewhere was hurting a lot. The ladies were hella friendly and took me to a separate room to change it out for me. everything was very clean and they only allow a few people in at a time (because of COVID). Im definitely coming back here for all my future piercings and im recommending this place to all my friends.

All reviews were right, loved having my Tattoo done there. Jay Seagraves was awesome, gave him a pic of my design, and he created exactly what I had in mind. His artistry is first class and tattooing. Looking forward for him to tackle my next design. Thanks Jay

Got my septum done back in April ish. Its now august and its literally my favorite piercing. She was so kind to me and everything was clean. The workers are nice and chill. I totally recommend it. Its such a cute shop.

For my first tattoo, I wanted my late dogs paw print tatted on my back/shoulder. I wanted it to look as realistic as possible and be the exact size the paw was. People recommended Caleb to me for this challenge and I did it! It was easy to talk to him about what I was looking for and it came out great.

Saw Dez for a piercing this weekend and I have to say it was probably the best shop experience Ive had thusfar. She was extremely professional, the shop extremely clean, and made the process super quick! I cant recommend her enough!

August 23, 2020 I contacted Quillian Tattooing & Piercing located at 614 N. 19th Street, Allentown, PA 18104 and requested a consultation for a tattoo. I went for my consultation with Mr. Caleb Gesicki (Mr. Gesicki had been my tattooist for two other tattoos on two separate occasions prior without any incident). October 21st I arrived for appointment. A female arrived and waited outside too. A male staff of Quillian invited her inside. I started to head inside however, I was stopped abruptly and told that I had to wait outside and hed tell Caleb I was there. I remained outside and listened to music on my phone, which was zipped away inside of a small pocket in my purse. Later, the receptionist told myself and two other people to come inside. In front of everyone I was told by the receptionist to shut my music (a love song by Usher) off. She said We have our own music playing in the background. After my tattoo the receptionist asked if I needed to schedule another appointment. I told her that my next appointment was already scheduled. After I paid my bill she did not offer a receipt so I asked for one. She then asked me if I had a problem with her and became very combative with me. I told her that I dont have a problem with her and in the past I received receipts after paying for my tattoos. I also told her that I didnt know her to have a problem with her. She told me Ive heard other people have had problems with you and continued to be rude and aggressive in tone. She told me that due to COVID-19 they only provide receipts upon request. I told her that the current interaction was unprofessional and unnecessary. I told Caleb what happened, I was unaware of the new receipt policy, collected my receipt and left. On October 26th I received a voice message from Steve Lemak the owner of Quillian. He asked that I return his call and stated, We have an issue thats come up with your up coming appointment and Calebs asked me to speak to you directly about it. I called Steve back he told me that my November 4th appointment with Caleb was cancelled, I was no longer welcomed at the Quillian, Caleb no longer wished to work with me, I argued with and cursed at the receptionist and several of his staff. While trying to explain my side of what truly happened on October 21st for which he was not present, I was dismissed by Steve. I tried to express the unfairness of what was currently being done to me as I now have an incomplete tattoo. I tried to express my disappointment in the fact that I had completed several hours of research to create my desired tattoo. Steve held no regard to the dilemma I was faced with or the false allegations that were made against me by his staff. As he continued to dismiss me and rush me off the phone I asked him, If there was a history of issues surrounding my time being a client of the Quillian then why would I be allowed to return for three tattoos? There was no response to my question! I was never disrespectful to anyone throughout my time as a client at the Quillian. I had little to no interactions with anyone except my tattooist. Its disheartening to find that after over a year of trying to build a rapport with Caleb that he did not have the decency to call me to discuss the events that took place and to resolve/clarify any misunderstandings in a professional manner.If there were any validity to any accusations made by Steve then I dont believe that October 26th would be the first time any misconduct on my part would be brought to my or anyones attention. With no regard for my concerns and no remorse Steve told me to find another tattoo shop! I have never experienced such unprofessionalism by any tattooist or tattoo establishment.This experience definitely speaks to the lack of integrity at the Quillian. I hope that sharing my experience helps someone to make an informed decision before giving their business to any establishment that would mistreat them in the way that Ive been mistreated and slandered by the owner of Quillian Tattooing & Piercing and staff. The BEST is yet to come!

I’ve never enjoyed having a needle shoved into my body by anyone before. Desiree was so sweet and thorough when she was doing my piercing. She explained things ahead of time and joked with me before/during/after. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a piercing chair. I definitely will be returning for all future piercings and tattoos. :)

Its been a minute since I was here getting tattooed but they are extremely efficient and talented people especially Steve. He has done the majority of my tattoos. Highly recommend this studio.

Knowledgeable, clean, professional, friendly...and over all great talent and quality work. My piercing is perfect, and my fiances tattoo is exactly what he was looking for! Couldnt be more happy with the outcome.

The Quillian is clean, professional, and overall pleasant experience. My fiancé and I got tattoos yesterday and I would recommend them to anyone. The artist we had freehanded the most impressive and detail tattoo! Thanks Quillian!!

My experience was amazing from start to finish. Very professional staff and The Artist was absolutely amazing of Character and artistry. I am so excited to say that my Tattoo was truly as I desired it. Thank you.

Been getting all my tattoos and piercings here for as long as I can remember, wouldnt trust anything but the Quillian!

I went to the Quillian for my first body piercing and the experience was fantastic! I could tell it was very clean and professional and was made comfortable. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone!

Ive gotten my nose pierced and both of my tattoos here. As long as Im in the area I dont plan on going anywhere else for my future tattoos/piercings. Prices are average, not too spendy, and the staff makes it feel like a top notch experience.

I took my wife to get a piercing and just because she didnt know fluent English they refused to do it.keep in mind she can hold a conversation with a fluent English person but she has a Spanish accent and also am a fluent English talking person and offered to translate and make sure she understands everything.i had the feeling they were a little racist because we were Hispanic more to her because she didnt know fluent English.so we left and went to a couple different shops near by and told them what happen and the couldnt believe it..

Pat was amazing. This is someone who takes their work seriously and to the next level. Detail orientated and highly skilled. I would recommend pat and the Quillian to anyone looking for a high quality professional tattoos.

I got my first tat here when i was 18. It still looks great. I have three tats from 3 diff shops. The oldest tat is from this place. And its the tat that still looks the best. All the others are blurry and faded. This one is still clear. I wish i could remember the guys name that did it. Wonder if hes still there....

Always a great experience with any of the artists. Very talented across the board

Very professional! I was impressed by the level of service I received. I went in for a piercing and the piercer was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be returning there in the future and referring my friends. Highly recommend it!

Best shop I’ve been to. Friendly, professional, cleaner than a doctors office and some damn great artists. Had some work done by Jay and I can’t wait to go back and get started on many more pieces!

Not only are all of the artists super talented, everyone is extremely nice. It’s nice to see a positive environment and everyone hyping each other up.

Ive been to Jay and pat..both are amzing artists, creating beautiful custom work, professional, and clean. I always recommend the quillian, i feel its the best shop in the lehigh valley!

Steve is a great guy, clean place, he did work on me and I was very satisfied. Will return as a future customer. Always recommend him to friends and family. Great place here in the west end.

Got my first tattoo here when I was 18, traditional eagle and they were very professional, it healed great, and get plenty of compliments. Would’ve gotten my second here, but it was closed :( would highly recommend

Got my ear piercings here and the service was fantastic! They walk you through every step of the process and made me feel involved. Highly recommend going here!

They are amazing here and well-versed in their trade. They gave great advice when inquiring about different piercings and tattoos. Would recommend to anyone.

Only place I ever get my tattoos at. Steve does amazing work!

Aaron was great! Got me in when there was a cancelation and did a great job

Looking forward to coming get my tattoo done here and piercing in the future. Had two tattoos done here by artist Jay and they both were amazing. Cant wait to get my third one

Caleb is a very talented artist and has done all of my tattoo work. Bery clean and professionally run studio.

Amazing staff! The artists here are top notch. The place is clean, well run, and every time I leave I cant wait to come back!

Great place for a tattoo. Clean. Friendly staff. Patrick did my fiances tattoo and it turned out awesome. Exactly like he wanted it.

My first tattoo in Feb was such a magical experience with Caleb. Mother/ Daughter bonding at its finest!!!

Great place, very professional, clean and sanitary. Will work with you on your work you are getting done. Made several changes, had no issues.

I was appalled by the treatment given to me. They treated us with disrespect that filled me with anger. They even proceeded to have the audacity to laugh at me for asking a simple question. My advice: this is not the place to go.

From simple to complex. Our artist (Pat) always nails it!

Great experience! Beautiful tattoo by Steve. Easy piercing. Thankful I went there.

Aaron did awesome work. Ill be back for more work for sure. Highly recommend this shop!

It is always a pleasure getting one by Steve great experience

This place is awesome. My wife and I have gotten tattoos and they are amazing!

I did my piercing there the girl was so nice and she did a very nice job doing my piercing. I will be going back to do my back dimples piercing.

Great experience getting my piercings!!! Very friendly and clean would reccomend in a heartbeat!

Clean, professional, talented, and creative. What more can you ask for? The staff - all of them - are awesome and I appreciate their professionalism.

Jay does amazing work, clean and sterile, quick and accommodating. Steve is a nut in the best way.

Got my vertical labret done, they were fast , welcoming and nice. Will be going back!

All my tattoos have been done here over the last 20 years. Phenomenal tattooing and piercing

This place is very professional , their piercers is pretty funny and she makes the process less scary , which is extremely helpful.

Overpriced. They are by appointment only and dont accept walk-ins. The lady took awhile to talk about the pricing with the artist and was a little rude.

Aaron did a fantastic job with my tattoo! Highly recommend anyone to him!

Awesome, went with my friend and got one myself due to a cancellation. Cant wait to go back.

Had my nose pierced, very professional & great customer service. Very friendly

Lost the ball to my tongue ring and there they were....my lifesavers. Very friendly and educated me on the better quality of tongue rings

The receptionist with short brownish hair was rude and lazy. Its obvious that shes not a team player of their company at all.

Helped me get my lip ring out for free. Sick ink wanted to charge me $5 to get my lip ring out!

Very clean. Professional and creative atmosphere. Personable tattoo artist.

I went here for a piercing in my ear to help with my migraine headaches. Ever since I had it done I havent had one since.

Tomm, great job Cheetah, SamsonRealistic, awesome eyes

Had so much fun getting tattooed there and Caleb is so talented!

Best tattoo place around. Been going for years, always the best!

This is where you go for a tattoo, and you can sit, chat and kind of unpack things while you’re there.

About to get more artwork done here! Cant say enough good things about this shop!

Excellent tattoo and Piercing shop, and really friendly great people

Ill never recomend this place to any one, the attendant was out of touch with want I really want!

Great experience. Very professional in my opinion. Ask for Jay
