Covington Tattoo Emporium

I’ve been getting all my piercings here for 11 years. Never a bad experience! Everyone is always so nice and professional, yet they are casual enough so you loosen up and relax a bit. BIG SHOUT OUT TO SAGE! She’s done the majority of my piercings. She is fabulous! She’s an excellent piercer and is an absolute sweetheart! Thank you Sage!

Sage is the best piercer Ive ever worked with ever. Ive gotten several piercings from her. If you want a quick, fairly painless piercing that will be properly placed every time, with continuing excellent customer service, see Sage. Nobody can do it better. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.

First time here and it was a great experience! We arrived within 30 mins of closing due to a wreck and we had driven far to come and they gladly stayed and pierced 3 of us without making us feel rushed and helped us all pick jewelry. Definitely will be back.

Don’t buy jewelry here! They will give you a size you can’t even wear then won’t refund or even make it right! Paid 15$ for a nose ring that was a lip ring size!/ that is not the standard size if it was then it would have fit! Who wants a big hole in there nose, it’s ment to be small! That was not small! And it was not said that it was pierced by my self, lie to make you look good!

If you are looking to get pierced, Sage is your girl. I wanted to get both of my nostrils pierced, like Chris Brown. However, I worried about the pain level and ensuring that they were symmetrical. So, on a whim, I decided to do it and not overthink it. Upon meeting Sage, she was sweet, professional, and very knowledgeable in her field. She explained the entire process to me and answered any questions I had. I had my nose pierced before but had a traumatic experience. So I was a bit apprehensive. Sage removed any anxiousness or doubt I had when I sat in her booth. She wanted to ensure that the piercing was what I liked. When I suggested a certain placement she kindly explained to me why it would not work for my nose type. That told me she knew what she was talking about and that she had standards for her work. I loved that. Before she pierced me, she took her time to ensure it was symmetrical by measuring it out. She wanted it to look perfect on me. She talked me through the entire process letting me know what was to come and I appreciated that so much as it gave me enough time to brace myself lol. She even gave a comforting reassurance that I was doing great in the end. Long story short if youre looking to get any piercing Sage is your girl. This is a passion for her and it was clearly shown through her work.

This tattoo meant a lot to me and I couldn’t be more than grateful and happy of how it came out. The artist was a great conversationalist and was always checking up on me to make sure I was doing okay. For a spot that seems that it would hurt he made it absolutely painless. I also come here for my piercings and there are so many kind and trustworthy people here ready to help with whatever you are getting done. I always recommend people here. If you are looking for a good place to get some great work done. This is the place!!!

My first ever tattoo! Phil did a great job and reassured me throughout the process. The lines are a little crooked and the font is just a tad thicker than what I had asked for, but overall I absolutely love it!

I just bought jewelry. Cheaper online but needed them asap. Easy transaction, in and out. Friends have great tattoos from here, not sure what artist.

My friend and I came in and got piercings by Sage, my nose and her ear. It was such a great experience, Sage was very patient, answered all of our questions and did an amazing job!!

I was nervous but had been wanting my Smiley piercing for a while! They explained everything well! Were very clean! Super painless and made me comfortable. Supplied me with the cleaning products for a great price! Also after my piercing was healed I went in and bought the ring I preferred for my smiley and they put it in for me😊 highly recommend them!

Ive had the majority of my tattoos done here by Tory. She is wonderful. She definitely puts time and effort into them. She has also come up with alot of beautiful designs herself, if you cant decide what you want. She can customize any tattoo into something amazing. Her and everyone else in the shop are so kind and making you feel so comfortable. I definitely recommend them to anyone who is thinking about getting one done.

Sage did my nipple piercings this evening. When I tell you she is a pro!! She is legitttt! I was really nervous when I got there but she put my mind at ease! I am so happy!! Also I would like to add that the entire staff is AMAZING!

Sage is such a great piercer and super sweet!

I went and got my belly pierced here, and let me tell you it’s the best place you can go. Very sanitary. Tori was the one who did my piercing and she was so so sweet and did a great job, placement and all was amazing. Would definitely recommend asking for her and in general going here!!

I got pierced by Julie multiple times when I turned 18. She was always sweet and made sure I was comfortable/ knew the pain expectations / aftercare.. I’m 26 now and just got my septum done by her. Her incredible work ethic hasn’t changed! She is extremely skilled. The front desk/ apprentice, Sage, was also extremely professional and kind. If you’re thinking about getting a piercing, THIS IS YOUR SIGN THAT THIS IS THE PLACE. It’s been 2 days and my septum is healing very nicely. Thanks so much ladies!

This was me and my friend’s first time going to Tattoo Emporium. It is VERY clean, everyone was very nice and welcoming. Sage pierced me and my friend’s nose and we could not be more pleased with the service we received! She was so sweet, explained everything very well, & answered all questions. If I decide to have anything else done I will definitely be back, and if so I hope Sage is still there because she made the experience awesome and I’d definitely trust her to do any piercing! Thank you again Sage! You’re awesome!

Best tattoo shop I’ve ever been to friendly staff good prices will definitely be back fast timing on drawing up tattoos and good timing with tatoos

Justin has done so many of my tattoos and he has always done and amazing job! Ive never left disappointed and Julie has pierced both my nose and my tongue and did awesome at those to! She finished very quick and made me as comfortable as possible! I will definitely return for all my future piercings and tattoos! Give them a shot! I promise you wont go anywhere else!

Justin has done every single one of my tattoos and he is absolutely the best!! Very clean environment. I love that I’ve felt comfortable for every tattoo/ Piercing. 100% this is the place to go for all your tattoo/piercing needs!!

Very clean and professional! They did an amazing job bringing this brain child of mine to life. Will definitely be getting more tattoos from them!

Sage did my nipple piercings and she is phenomenal! Talked me through the whole process and she knows what she is doing too! Definitely recommend Sage!

Got my first tattoo from Justin today! The pricing was very reasonable and Justin took his time, made me feel comfortable, and made getting my first tattoo a fun, memorable experience. Tori and Julie were also very friendly and made me feel very welcome. A clean, cool little shop with lots of art on the walls and talented artists.

Wonderful manner, explained everything as she went and I will definitely be back!

Justin has done an amaziiiing job on all of my tattoos and is affordable and so sweet. Julie has done my piercings and she is a sweet heart and very gentle. Tory is always there learning and helpful to anyones needs whenever I come in. I’d highly recommend going here!

Great people me and my girlfriend went in right before closing and they took us in and helped us get our piercings, very kind people would definitely recommend

I would always recommend them. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I got my belly button pierced from here just the other day and had a great experience ! my piercing was almost painless. it is also healing very fast, it’s been 2 days and there’s barely any soreness. would definitely recommend for piercings 👍🏼

Got my nipples and smiley done today. The service was awesome and my piercings look great. Big thank you to the young 2 lady’s that helped me today. I will be returning for more.

After a piercing the piercing technicians are very helpful!! Limited parking.

Ive been pierced...alot! Julie is the best piercer Ive ever had. Super professional. Told me my idea wasnt good and helped me get exactly what I wanted, in the best way. Super happy

Got my septum pierced by Sage who was super professional and very clear on what to expect during and aftercare. Definitely recommend 👌

Tory did such an amazing job! Definitely going to back here for Tory to get more work done in the near future! She was super professional and was very calm for doing my first tattoo! Thanks Tory ! 🌞🥰

I went in w my friend to get a surface tragus and a nose ring on my birthday and my entire experience was great. I didnt get either girls names but the piercing itself was painless. I got the surface tragus and it was perfect. I couldnt have been more happy w how it turned out!! My friend got just a nose ring and it hardly bled. She was so happy w her piercing too! We will definitely recommend to friends and family and will be back for other piercings again. The aftercare instructions were easily understood. The shop was clean and the workers were very nice and knowledgable. Very happy w my visit and wanted to share that w the google world 💁

Took my daughter here for her first ear peirceing. Staff was excellent. Very professional and clean environment. I highly recommend

I got my nose piercing from here and it was very professional and not costly at all. The piercing itself was 40 bucks with the jewelry included and the care kit was 13 buck. You really get the value for your buck.

SAGE is who you want to go to for your piercings. She pierced my nose and I didn’t even feel it, my eyes didn’t water, didn’t have swelling of infection. She really is the best! Thank you Sage!

I went in tonight to get my nipples pierced and Tory was super sweet, very knowledgeable and super fast!! Definitely going to come back for any more piercings or tattoos!! Clean shop with a great atmosphere!!

Been to Justin 6 times now and will continue to go back every time. His patience and desire to ensure everything is QUALITY is matched by no other artist I have ever had, and I have had quite a few including in different states. They have and will have my business as long as their doors remain open.

Myself and two of my friends went to the Covington Tattoo Emporium to get ear piercings about 3 months ago...every single one of us had to seek medical help due to infection that was brought on by each of our piercings. We all were very diligent about keeping them clean and taken care of - I find it super weird that all three of us had the exact same issue.

Justin, Julie & Tory are amazing! If you want an extraordinary piece of art to adorn your body this is the place to go. The shop is the epitome of cleanliness & their professional demeanors make your experience extraordinary!

Tory is the best. Patient talented and quick. No reason to look any further if you want a tattoo. Justin is the same way. They are the best.

I already had my first second and third piercing done on my ear at a different place but I want in to just simply get a different nose stud and hoop and after being in there I felt so comfortable I wanted to get me stack on my second piercing and my fourth piercing done by sage, she was amazing my piercings look great and she made me feel so comfortable!

I’ve gotten 11 tattoos from Justin with many more to go... Justin is very light handed and his work can’t be beat.... I get compliments on them daily and it’s all thanks to Justin

My wife and I had our noses done, and Sage was Fantastic!!!!!!!! Instructions were clear and when I’m ready to change she’ll do it for me.

Got all my piercings here and never had a problem. always heals great and will continue coming!

I have been working on my sleeve and Tori has been amazing. Shes professional and I would definitely recommend her..

Tori did my tattoo she was amazing. I told her what I wanted and thats exactly what I got. She was very sweet and took her time. I will be going back for sure.

Awesome! They were very gentle and kind when i went to get my my piercing. I would recommend them to anyone!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!Everyone here is very friendly! The environment is clean and professional. I have gotten all of my work done here and I couldnt see myself going anywhere else!!

Didnt catch the the name of the peircer but she was wonderful. I got my tongue peirced and it is in the perfect spot and straight. Will definitely recommend!🤗

Got a memorial tattoo piece done here. the staff was all very kind and helpful. artist did a phenomenal job customizing and tattooing the piece. will definitely be bwck

Seemed like a cool enough place. I bought plastic inserts for my piercings. They were awfully pricey for inserts that the o-ring came right off of and fell out.

My new go-to for piercings 😍

Such an amazing place for piercings!! She pierced exactly where I wanted and only hurt for a second. Best place hands down!

Just finished getting my first tattoo here from Justin, it came out great! I will definitely be returning here for my future tattoos!

HORRIBLE SERVICE! the people are disrespectful. would not go here. wouldn’t let me get my belly button pierced because my mom and i didn’t have the same last name and my sister who is above age and that i have the same last name, still wouldn’t let me get my belly button pierced

Been here a couple times for piercings. Sage is awesome!

Tory was amazing. My girl and both got tatted by her back to back. Great detail and amazing skills.
