MarcD Up Tattoo & Piercing Studio

I was just here today, and im really happy. At first, I didnt want the type of jewelry they had for a nose piercing the nose screw, I think its called. Mark politely informed me why the nose screw would be a good choice over what I wanted. Hes the one that knows what hes doing, so I went with his suggestion. I asked Mark if he could peirce me in the same location as my last nose piercing. He got it dead on, so Im super happy about that. The customer service was great, and the shop was clean. Ill be going back for sure!

Literally came in 5 minutes before close on a Friday night, Marc let my friend and I come in, no problem, both of us got nose piercings, with this being my 3rd time I pierced it.He was informative, the place is clean, and had the most gentle hands I have ever experienced lol 😂Could not stop raving about him and brought my brother in for a piercing two days later. Go ahead and check them out!

Jon is the GOAT. What a great guy. He made my first tattoo an absolute piece of art and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m definitely coming back for more later!!

The owner seems really nice and chill. This is a really good tattoo shop! I got tattooed by Jon OMalley who did a phenomenal job with not only the tattooing but the process of working with me as a client for envisioning the perfect tattoo! I was very comfortable during the whole process. I feel really lucky to have such cool and beautiful art on my body! I would highly recommend getting a tattoo here because you can feel confident it will be to your liking!

Came in as a walk-in because I wanted a small simple memorial piece. I was looking for something with fine lines, good saturated color, and not overworked. Steven Sparr delivered!! Steven took his time, listened to what I wanted, and executed. He was so polite, professional, considerate, and talented. I will be coming back to this tattoo shop.

I went here to get my second nostril, and Marc was the kindest, jokingly I didnt even feel pain at the time of the piercing.He explained everything to me step by step, showing me that the instruments were new and completely sterilized. 🥰🥰

I got my first tattoo at this place! Marc did an amazing job! Super happy with how it turned out :) Thank you again!

Got doubles pierced by Marc. Awesome experience great guy!

It feels so good for things to turn out better than you imagined, Jon O’Malley makes dreams come true. I’m very impressed by how professional and clean the shop is and the people here are talented and honest. While I was there the piercing artist was correcting a mistake by another shop and I respect that he didn’t take advantage of the young girl’s desperation to fix the bad piercing done by the other shop by price gouging her or something. This place makes lifelong customers and I’m proud to say I’m one of them.

This place is I most go to ask about Jon is very professional.Me and my wife came here once and we don’t go nowhere also for tattoo only Jon

Came in on a Friday the 13th. We asked if they were doing the special and they told us no but if it was something small they would do it for us. Got this little knife done by Jon and I absolutely LOVE it! Its so clean and well done! The shop itself is clean and an inviting environment altogether. Definitely going to come back for another tattoo as soon as an idea comes to me. Cant recommend this place more!

Amazing owner, he went above and beyond for me. I couldn’t be happier thank you so much. Highly recommend. Great prices, quality work, and nice people.

Very satisfied with this tattoo Jon was great! Thank you :) very detailed and exactly what I wanted but better!

My first time here and I can already tell Marc will be my go to piercer! He’s absolutely wonderful, got my septum done. He made it super quick and painless! The atmosphere there is really chill and welcoming, I absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a good piercing

I got my daughters name done and love it at first I didnt want shading but my guy showed me some and we made it happen great please great people definitely check them out

My sister and I came here to get a tattoo in honor of our mom who just passed away 2 months ago since it was her birthday. We had an amazing artist Jon OMalley do them for us we didnt know exactly what we wanted he pieces together what we brought in and made an amazing piece for us. He made sure to take his time since the writing is our moms from cards we had. He never rushed to get us in and out and really made us feel like we werent just another tattoo. I highly recommend going to him if you go here.

Best experience Ive had at a tattoo shop hands down. I took my daughter to get her industrial done and Marc was absolutely amazing. It was her first piecing besides her ear lobes and I couldnt have asked for a better person to do it. Marc was very caring, thoughtful, and thorough. The shop was very nice and clean and everyone was very professional. Not only will I be returning but I will definitely recommend Marcd Up to everyone and anyone looking for tattoos and/or piercings.

Marc was amazing. Hubby and I walked in to get our ears pierced. His lobes, both my tragus. I was scared and nervous but all the other good reviews are right. He made it quick, easy and as painless as possible. If I do more piercings, Ill definitely come back to him.

We went as a walk in for a tattoo and Jon agreed to do my tattoo on my foot. He was so sweet and he did such an amazing job, he was gentle and was so particular about it and made sure we were both in love with the tattoo. I can’t recommend this place enough but more so I can’t recommend Jon enough he was reasonable with price and was just amazing! I will be returning for sure!

Took my daughter in for matching Tattoos for her 18th birthday!!! Worked with Jon O’Malley nice guy and very professional!!! My daughter gave him the drawing she wanted and he enhanced her vision by redrawing it and really bringing it to life.He paid attention to detail and the artwork he delivered for us both is amazing! I highly recommend this shop the owner is also a pretty cool guy as well they both acknowledged my daughter’s birthday!!Overall they deserve all five stars to me!!

Place is hit or miss. I got a tattoo here previously and it was decent and I had a good experience. I recently wanted a tattoo again, so I messaged the page to set up an appointment on Halloween. I got a reply back telling me to come in to set up an appointment, so I went in. The artist JD then told me that no tattoo artists were coming in that day. I explain that I got a reply back telling me to come in to make an appointment and I didnt understand why he told me that if no one was going to be here. He then tells me that he didnt know that no one was going to be here, which I said okay to. I understand that things happen. He asked if there was any other day I could come in, which I said no to because I work 2 jobs and I took that day off specifically to get a tattoo. So then he asks me what I was going to get and I show him. He then tells me that he has to drive an hour out of his way to get to the shop and that he would consider coming if it was a bigger tattoo. At this point, I just told him that it was fine and I will go somewhere else because Im just unhappy with the experience. The communication was just extremely unprofessional. It isnt the customers fault that you have a far commute and I didnt like that he said he would consider it more if it was a bigger tattoo. He then says its fine and that he will take me anyway, so I put a $40 deposit down. When I come for my appointment on Halloween, the doors are locked, no one is at the shop, and the tattooers phone is shut off. No cancellation texts, no nothing from them. Ended up going to another shop where me and the tattooer joked about the whole thing. Ill be getting my tattoos there from now on. Only good experience this time was that I got my deposit back.

Earlier this week I have visited this wonderful establishment to remove a dermal located below my navel I had placed six years ago. Reason for my removal is because Im pregnant. I walked in and as soon as I told Marc what I wanted he was completely honest and informative about everything. So I put my trust in him. And I am unbelievably grateful I did not go anywhere else. What I liked about Marc was that he was modest, kind, caring and extremely (and I mean EXTREMELY) patient. That dermal was not easy to remove and he did not give up one me. So if anyone is looking for someone who knows what the hell they are doing and at the same time be able to really put their trust in someone it would be him. I definitely recommend going here 100%! Thanks again Marc for everything.

Marc was amazing. He assisted me with getting my piercings to reopen after having to take them out for a while. He provided clean, fast, but very clean service at a very great price. Im glad I found this shop. Itll be my go to for now on.

I have had many tattoos but have never ever found my tattoo artist until I came to Marc’d Up legit a year ago. I have tonight completed my third tattoo with Jon O’Malley I’m so happy with all his work and Im proud to display his artwork that will stay with me forever. I promise you won’t regret going to this shop. He is also fun very talkative, has amazingly great personality & ideas (for those who really aren’t 💯 sure what they want. (Me) So different than any place I have ever been. I can’t figure out how to share the pics but I will. (I’m a bit slow)

Jon O’ Malley is an absolute professional. This was my very first tattoo and I have to say I’m very impressed. I had butterflies in my stomach but all that got wiped away when I entered a clean environment with respect that was above and beyond. The dog design I brought in had a couple flaws in the design that I was okay with accepting because I thought he would just copy the work. This man proceeded to redrew the dog and made it the perfect tattoo, from the spacing between lines to the richness of the black inside the shading. I would highly recommend this tattoo shop to anyone who’s looking to get great work for a great price. Thank you again Jon and I’ll be back to get a bigger piece from you very soon.P.S. that bathroom made me feel like I was walking into the garden of eden just to do my business lol

I went here for a belly piercing and tattoo yesterday. Each were done by Billy, I was very pleased with the service. The shop was very clean and Billy was very professional. He was able to thoroughly explain the aftercare process in clear details. Any questions I had, he was able to answer. He was highly knowledgeable of the work he was doing. Each time I’ve came into this shop, I left out more than satisfied.

The owner and his staff are amazing! they are all very very kind and nonjudgmental. As soon as I walked in I felt like I knew them forever. Because that is the type of environment that they put in place. It’s very clean and very professional in there as well. I have medical problems and while I was there I fainted and completely blacked out due to not having took my medicine. The owner himself sat next to me and made sure I was OK. He brought me water and candy to bring up my sugar levels. And sat next to me fanning me the entire time making sure I’m OK and talking me through. I am 100% would recommend going to Marc’D Up!

Overall great experience, I got my ears pierced here for $40. Great price, everything was new and Billy was very cooperative. He was knowledgeable about aftercare and was very willing to help and answer any questions we had, I would highly recommend coming here.

Marc did a great tat for a decent price. I would allow him to do it again

Went to get a tribute tattoo with my sister yesterday for our mom. We had Jon OMalley and he was the best, he knew how important this one was to the both of us, and he nailed it. It turned out better than I could of imagined, I look at my arm and its really my moms writing. Most definitely recommend this place, but even more so I reccomend seeing Jon, he truly is the best!

Went in as a walk in and everything was great! No pressure from the artists. Very understanding, professional and patient. Orlando really knew what he was doing. I have a few tattoos and this by far is one of the best experiences. Will be back.

I love this place! My tattoo artist was nice and did an amazing job! Cant wait to go again!

My entire family go here for tats and piercings, the shop is clean, the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. The tattooist are friendly and professional. Marc, Billy and Orlando rock! I will never go elsewhere for my tats or piercings. I recommend MarD Up to everyone for quality work at very reasonable prices.

I got my nose pierced by Billy! He did an awesome job and made me feel comfortable. I was in and out of there within 15 minutes and I would definitely go back there. Its $30 for the basic jewelry and goes up by $5 for each one. I paid $35 for a stud with a diamond. 10/10.

Jon called himself an “apprentice” artist but I was so impressed by the neatness of his work and his hospitality (he was verrrrrry sweet!). I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and he was there by himself but very professional and able to meet everyone’s needs and questions. He did a quick name tattoo for me with a crown and he wanted to make sure it was perfect. He even allowed me to play music from my phone on the shop speakers... I felt like a VIP! Highly recommended.

Just went and got a dermal on my chest/neck area. Marc is amazing, they have an apprentice working there, her name is Kaylee (not sure if that’s how you spell it), they were both so genuine & nice. She’s in good learning hands with Marc. Literally i will not go anywhere else but here for my piercings. I went two years ago when they did the Friday the 13th $13 piercings, and i was also completely satisfied. Marc made sure I knew dermals are complicated sometimes, i was made sure i knew proper aftercare and everything else. If i could give a million stars i would. See y’all next time. 💚

Marc hooked my tatt up, he took what I came in with and made it 100% better. Im in love with my tattoo! He was very considerate didnt try to rush, he took his time and it shows in his work.Made me feel welcomed. Love the vibes! Def will be coming back for some more ink.

Marky Marc pierced both of my traguses. No I’m not Pegasus. First time I cried happiness. Second time hurt like hell but he super professional and chill so good vibes only here. Marc just tatted my hand super clean super crisp his shop carries minimal riskGreat bottle service too :)Overall I recommend. Come through and support the artistry.

John and JD are awesome. They made me feel comfortable and are both great tattoo artist. I got work done from both of them and they are amazing! will definitely be coming back for more.

Walked in a week ago with what I had in mind and JD did an amazing job! His ideas made it look better than I expected! Would recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo done! Cant give him enough props for the job he did it was a lot to do!

Got most of my tats here, does a great job.

Great place!! Took 5 of us at the last minute! Took my 18 yr old sisters for their first tattoos and they made this experience for them very great!! Mark and Billy are truly great at what they do! Will def be back for more work soon!

Marc did a touch/cover up for a tattoo and piercing on me. He did an amazing job. Highly recommend. He took his time with every detail to male sure it was perfect.

I went to MarcD UP two weeks ago to get a tragus piercing. Billy did a great job. The place was very clean!! I went back today to have the other pierced and Billy was awesome yet again. He was thorough, he used hygienic procedures, he talked me through it and he even had a calming voice lol. He provided me with after care instructions as well as a way to contact him if I had questions at a later time. I took a chance on this place using Google to find a shop near my house. Based on the internet photos of work done (and the way the shopped looked on the inside -very clean), I chose MarcD UP. Im glad I did. I will definitely go back. -Nesha 1/5/18

Came with my boyfriend to get pierced Marc did our piercings! My boyfriend got his eyebrow & I got my nose love it. It was fast. Marc had a good conversation with us & calmed my nerves over all.

The shop were very clean and nice. The guy Billy did a excellent job piercing my nose. Marc and Billy were really nice. I would go back and request anybody to go here to get piercings and tattoos done.

Got tattooed by John and he did an outstanding job. Made me feel comfortable and stopped when I need him to. Overall probably the best tattoo experience I’ve had. I very highly recommend coming here and getting a tattoo by John.

Marc Did Great Dermal Piercings. Does NOT RETURN CALLS !!! Called No one yet has picked UP!

Professional clean studio. Marc did my Medusa piercing, he was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable during the procedure. I would definitely go back for another piercing.

Jon O’Malley was very professional and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I got my first tattoo from him and I’m very impressed with the results. I absolutely love how it came out!

Jon OMalley did an awesome job on my tattoo.The business is very clean and sanitary, this is my new spot.Ill definitely be back!!!

They did a great job on my bf tattoo but I left money to save a spot me to get my tattoo and then the dude was bs us and I had to end up going some where else cause he never replied to are text messages. But things happen for a reason. And I love my tattoo that I got at a different place.

So amazing, best experience I’ve had so far made me and my boyfriend felt so comfortable, we came in as a walk-in and they took us in with no issue they were all patient/understanding to our request and kept asking if I was good we’ll definitely be coming back, best place I’ve been to in a long time.

I’ve gotten tattoos from John and piercings from Marc and I love them both. I always leave satisfied ☺️

I had a dermal piercing done today. Awesome experience! Marc helped me out, he tells it how it is. They practice sterile techniques. Theyre good people.

Awesome place. Great services JD did my tattoo 1st one ever for me yesterday. Im going to come back for others. I recommend this place as it was clean and he explained that the needles were hyperdimic needle and threw it out after. Jd your the man!!!!!

We absolutely love this place we got several tattoos done by Jon O’Malley and each of us loved the customer service and how the tattoos came out would 100% recommended 👍👍👍

I got three small tattoos here and the lines aren’t straight the corners aren’t sharp and whatever skinny white dude did mine misspelled a word. The tattoo is on the back of my arm he blamed me for the mistake then said to come in to get it covered up. He already made me regret going here and he thinks I’ll go back for a cover up. What a joke. Maybe the other people are better but not him!

Find another tattoo parlor, I visited this place twice. First time I gave a deposit for a drawing of the tattoo and the artist told me he would call me back, never got a call back and when I followed up he said he had the wrong number. Second time around I called set an appointment and sent the drawing before hand, got there and he told me he couldn’t do it today to set up another appointment. I got it done elsewhere.

Made an appointment for 2 tattoos with Marc. Waited over a hour pass the appointment time. Never showed up. Called him. Was told we slipped his mind. Never drew up the tattoo for my fiance.

Friday night walked in the guy did not care to talk to me, literally asked what I wanted walked away and then all ignorant tell me what I needed was to sitvin the chair and it will be hourly. Not once did he ask if I had ideas or if he had any. I have plenty of tats and always looking for good work this place will never get any of my business or will I recommend them to any of my friends and family members. Want a local tatt stay away from here

Usually impressed with this place but recently been disappointed. Came in one day to get a nose piercing replaced and they wouldn’t sell me one because the piercer wasn’t there to sell it to me. Came back a week later and the open sign is lit up but the lights were off and they were closed. Checked the hours and they should’ve been open. Keep calling and no response, are they closed?

Very clean setup, I was very impressed from the looks and cleanliness of the store. I got a nose piercing and I was informed of each step and what was going to take place. My whole experience was very relaxing and positive. Highly recommend this place!

Got my kids nose pierced. Marc was quick and made the experience a simple one. Highly professional. Definitely recommend his place!!!

Artists are well knowledged and talented. Shop is super clean and inviting. Felt safe getting some ink from them without any doubt. Highly recommended for sure.

Marc is the man!! Made me feel so conforble in his shop. My daughter got her industrial piercing and Marc was awesome. He will be my go to man!!!

Just did my belly button piercing and Im so happy. Marc is very professional and kind person! Highly recommended! ✌️

I’ve gotten my eye dermal here by Marc and he is the Absolute best!! Just lately I can’t seem to get a holdOf anyone there 🤷🏻‍♀️ I went there tonight it was closed and every time I call no one answers which is weird. But other then that

JD did the best job on my tattoo. Walked in randomly asking him to give me a tattoo on my finger, showed him the picture and he killed it!! I’ll be back sometime soon to get my second tat!

Walked in for my first tattoo, couldnt be happier with the end result. The artist did a stellar job, was super nice, and overall had a great experience.

Been there twice to get dermals by Marc and hes great! He lets you know any risks before hand and talks you threw the process, and you cant beat the price!

I got my belly pierced by marc and he was great , i had came from another shop that completely ruined my belly piercing and he re did it for me and was great!

Couldnt even answer the phone! Tried IG and got a blanket response with no actual follow-up. Its like they DONT want money. Very unprofessional! Not a good sign, Ill be going somewhere with more responsible people!

Went to get my nose pierced for $40, JD was real professional, asked me when I was ready, cleaned my nose till it stopped bleeding, and made it a chill experience. Would come back here again for sure

Cool spot nice vibe...pj is awesome very skill artist...try the gumbo machine...with cool tattoos starting at $80 Grey $100 color..u must check it out...

Super respectful staff and quick with walk-ins. 10/10 service. Piercings are done professionally and efficiently.

Did such a good job, chill vibe, really fun atmosphere. Loved the experience will definitely be coming back for sure!!

I dont know enough yet to give 5 stars. Stopped in for a jewelry change. The fellas there were welcoming. The owner took care of us ...he was super nice and very helpful. Good vibes allll in the place. Ill ne going back for sure.

They were cool af. They took me and my friend when it was close to closing(it was small though) and they where all generally friendly and nice. It’s very clean and just a cool shop. And a big plus is the price. They start at 40 and that’s the lowest ive heard of around here. All and all a cool place

Jon OMalley made you feel comfortable and at ease as it was 1st time. Did a great job and facility was clean. I recommend Jon.

Got a piercing. They did a great job, quick, clean, good price. Piercer was very knowledgeable. I would definitely come back

Loved my first tattoo. They were very nice and friendly. I highly recommend this place. Will be coming back.

Marc is great! Got my nose pierced and it was quick and very professional! Highly recommend!!!

I was a huge baby when I went to get my tongue pierced, but the guy I had handled it really well! Super satisfied with his work!

I got my nose pierced there and Erik did it! They were so cool and nice. He did a fabulousJob and they were really down to earth!!

John does amazing work, he took my idea & ran with it, this is by far my favorite tattoo, this honors the 3 miscarriages I had, my angels are always with me.

Meh, red flag when they pierce you with the wrong gauge / type of jewelry for the piercing you got . Nice guy, but I would not come back

The service was awesome, Marc did the ear piercing on my daughter and niece which was an industrial piercing, I recommend him 100%... thank you Marc.

Got a dermal piercing yesterday and I absolutely love it, Marc was so nice and funny I loved him!💎

Great place got my ears pierced and definitely coming back for more!

I recommend MarcD up. I walked in without an appointment and they took me. Orlando was really nice patient and helpful.

Got a tattoo and piercing today, really enjoy how both came out and great service!

Genuine guy, really cares to perfect the piercing. Didnt kick us out though it was late. Love him!!

Loved everything about this place! Nothing is better than feeling welcomed the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out. Work was great, definitely going back!

Got septum pierced. Friendly service. Fair price. Had me in and out quick

Went in to get my nose pierced and it turned out perfect! Marc is a gem! 💙
