Several years ago, my sister, her friend and I went here for tattoos. I had never been to this shop before and none of us had an appointment. I decided to get a home tattoo covered up. The artist was very friendly, patient, and helpful in explaining what types of designs would be best for a cover up. The tattoos on all 3 of us were done quickly and perfectly. The tattoo covered beautifully, you cant tell it was a cover up.They all looked great, and still do more than 5 years later. My tattoo still has great color even though it does get a good bit of sun in the summer.The artists were friendly and professional the entire time. They both worked quickly without making us feel rushed and showed great attention to detail.I had a great experience going here and would recommend it to anyone.

I got two piercings in my lip done here. While they were being done I was told by the piercer that he would be putting in starter bars to accommodate the swelling (I went to another piercer after all this and he said that what I was given weren’t starter bars; they were too short and too thick). We got home and on closer inspection the piercings were crooked. I was told it was because of swelling (it’s been a month, the piercings are gone and it’s still visible crooked). They quickly started swelling and by day three I couldn’t eat anything because of it. This was despite following the after care instructions I was given. The next day the swelling had gotten so bad that the one piercing was pushed out. It was around then that the second piercing began to cut deep in the skin of my lip. After examining the bar that fell out we noticed that it was incredibly short and clearly wasn’t long enough to handle the swelling. The side of my mouth without the bar decreased in size while the other continued to swell from the tightness of the bar. I decided to remove the bar but it wouldn’t budge. I even looked up directions on how to remove them that included pictures to make sure I was turning the right way (and I was). Finally we drove to the ER. When we were let in a doctor first tried to twist the ball off with his hands and then went in with pliers to try and remove it. Still no luck. Finally, they realized the only way to get it off was to cut through it. The process of cutting through the bar was so painful that the doctor and a male nurse had to hold me down while I screamed from the pain.When they removed it the doctor realized that it had been cross threaded and that’s why it wouldn’t unscrew. Because of the piercer’s negligence of putting in a bar that was too short and incompetence of screwing it on sideways, I now have a hospital bill. The piercer told us to meet him at the shop on Saturday before 4. I was supposed to get four piercings from him and had initially paid for all four the first day. We planned on getting our money back from him for the two I didn’t get (an important note is that the two I did get were already healed over by then so I don’t even have the two I paid for). We arrived at 3:28 and he wasn’t there. His mother who also worked at the shop was. We handed her the receipt that says we paid $100 for 4 piercings. She said each piercing was $40 and that she’d give us $20 back. I have texts from the piercer showing that that wasn’t the case and after explaining that to her she straight up refused to give me my money, saying that the guy who did it was an “independent contractor” and that she didn’t have it (even though that wasn’t the case when she offered me $20). She also said she’d redo the two I had done as if after everything I had went through I would have wanted the people there to do it again. After being told that I had to go to the ER to have it removed she said that I must have been turning it the wrong way and began to tell me how to turn it the way I had been trying. We said we did do that and so did the doctor, but it was cross threaded. She said she could have gotten off without pliers and then said that the swelling was probably happing because I wasn’t following their aftercare instructions, which I was. To add insult to injury I’m now going to have two scars under my lip. I was finally able to get half my money back but the woman their says she won’t give me any more back and that it was my fault for not taking care of it. Yeah, it sure looks like it’s my fault.

Had my first tattoo done here by the owners son then by Mary when he didn’t show up to finish. The first time on the leg was ok but then the next time he scared the side of me from hip to rib and left huge unfinished lines, the third time Mary finished it but I left crying it was so ugly and uneven. I went to another shop and had them ‘fix’ what they could and he used heavy black lines, but for 4 years I had to hide my entire right side from my knee to my shoulder. I stopped modeling and was terrified to get another. Thankful I found Jessica at tattoo neavu to make it wonderful! I also had some piercings done by Mary which were not straight and had to be removed only now they closed and it will be to painful to get redone :(

Got the darth piercing for headaches works out great. Going today to get a new ear piece for my ear. Cant wait to get the other side done. They really do work for headaches.Years ago they re colored my tattoo and it looks so fresh like its just been done and I would say that was over 10 years ago.

Awful place, the owners son messed up my first tattoo and when I came in to get it touched up they blamed it on me for moving when I didnt even flinch. Then to top it off the owner couldnt even fix it properly, but they claim to be an award winning shop/ the best in the area. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!
