Went and got my tragus pierced by Crystal today. I was so nervous but she was awesome and I love my new piercing! She was very kind and patient with me. She answered all of my questions and was very thorough.Everyone there was very friendly… when I thought I was going to pass out, another employee let me hold her hand 😂 and another one got me water and they let me stay until I felt ok!This will definitely be my new go-to piercing spot!
Haley crushed it! I told her very basically what I want, she quickly realized i dont care about the details like what number i want here or there, and did a great job making me look sharp. plus everyone was chill and i like the chat (except when she did the beard cause i am a statue lol) Dont know other barbers in the area but I know I found mine!
❤️ Got Another Great!! Tattoo!! AND Great!! Haircut!!!! Thank you Cracker And James!! This Place Has a Great Staff!!! Haircuts AND Tattoos All in One Building!!!!They Really Care!!!! ❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Go See For Yourself.
It’s taking me a while to find a shop that I feel at home at. Great artists and a wonderful environment. This season they did a toys for tots event and brought out a bunch of the community together for a awesome cause! from the barbers to the tattooers this is one shop you need to walk in to see for yourself but here’s some artwork from Molly Gotlib. Once you find an artist that is so Dedicated and creative there’s no reason to go to anyone else. But go see for yourself and ask for the owner Cracker, he’s leave you with a lasting impression from a family man to the guy you can rely on. A1 tattoo is a “mom and pop shop” and a true image of if you work your hardest you can get anything complicated.
Thank you to this family run shop for helping our family get our 7 matching tattoos. They were patient and made it a great experience for all of us. Including the 2 who never had a tattoo before!
Great customer service everyone is so nice and welcoming the guy Jay who did my tat was amazing will definitely come back again 10/10 experience .
My son Matt & I just finished getting Tats. The design was drawn by Ham. He has an Amazing Artistic Ability! Very detailed....its Sick! Cracker did actual Tat. As expected, his work is Excellent! Both were Awesome! Cant wait to see the design Ham comes up with for my next Tat! Love my Tat! Great Job Guys!!!!
Josh was the absolute best barber i have ever experienced in life. 10/10 highly recommend. If you go, ask for Josh but try to make an appointment because he is the hot commodity barber there 👍🏾
Always a great experience at A1, whether we go for a piercing or tattoos were never disappointed! On the last visit, I took my daughter for a piercing with Crystal she is awesome! She is very thorough in explaining what to expect and how to care for the piercing & any questions we had she had no problem answering. Crystal is well-educated in her field of work, and Im very comfortable with her doing my daughters piercings! I highly recommend A1 !! THANK YOU Crystal for always making my daughters experience a pleasant one!
The barber is awesome! He is a sweetheart, the barbershop is also really cool with their decore. I love it & will continue to bring my son here.
So this from what I know is the only tattoo/barbershop in South nj. The atmosphere reflects the artist/barbers that work here. They are fun, stylish, great conversationalists and specialist in their craft. Granted I have only gotten haircuts here but tattoos are lined up. Everytime I got for a haircut its both quick easy and above all comfortable. They know what looks good on me based on face shape, previous hairstyles. I love coming here and there is no question if it will come out good ,it always does! Appointments are required giving both piece of mind to yourself and the barbers. If you ever have a chance try it out yourself and book today.
James is an awesome barber and cracker should be Governor!
Just found out a year later that the guy who did my tattoo was not liscensed to do so! It was an awful experience and I wouldn’t recommend going here for a tattoo.
Crystal is the best! I had an emergency & needed to get my triple helix piercings removed from a previous piercer & she did it no problem & very very sweet (: would def recommend! Have also had two tattoos done by the owner cracker & he did an amazing job! An all around great place to go for a piercing or tattoo (:
I’ve been having Darren cut my hair since day one and I actually was his first haircut. He takes his time and makes sure you have an enjoyable experience and leave with a haircut you absolutely love. Reasonable prices and tremendous effort will keep me coming back for as long as he cuts hair:
Got my nose pierced here 3 weeks ago, and it’s doing a great job of healing. Thank you Crystal for doing an amazing job! As always!
Cracker has been the ONLY person I’ve let tattoo me. 13 amazing tattoos and counting and he’s done some amazing work. Words can’t express how much I love all the ink he’s given me and all the people I’ve sent his way. Including my two daughters. His wife pierces as she’s great too! All around amazing place I will never go anywhere else! Xoxo
Great experience. Clean spot, Friendly Staff, Fair Prices, Quality Work! Jay was great! Professional & Efficient.
I got my haircut by Darren. Very professional and takes his time to make sure that he got everything he needed and didnt miss a spot. His work area is always spotless and organized and his tools are always clean and sanitized. Would recommend this place to anybody looking for a new barber!
Brian did a great job on my two tattoos. The atmosphere is laid back, and welcoming, Im not sure what some of these other reviews are talking about. Sounds like theyre referring to a different place. I was pleased with my experience, and will be going back for all of my tattoos from here on out.
I went here to get my septum pierced last summer and it was great! Just went back to get a small tattoo and they were very kind! I love the tattoo and fair price!
I knew from the phone conversation before I ever set foot in the building that my experience there was going to be great. He was enthusiastic about the the work my nephew and I wanted done, and even more so when we went to set an appointment for the next evening. I was not disappointed. Excellent work Ham - its my favorite piece out of all the work Ive had done so far ! Ill definitely be coming back to have you do the others we talked about.
Awesome people and the new location ( block away) is a direct reflection of the owner and his quest for perfection. Its a very relaxed , visually appealing atmosphere and only the best of the best tattoo artist. I love this place. Thank you Cracker!. .
I have always went to other places and got a plain buzz cut. After James did my beard for my wedding I knew I could trust him. I went in and asked for his opinion on what type of haircut I should get and this is the first time in my life I feel happy with my hair. By far the best experience I had and James is such a relatable person who loves his job and just makes it a comfortable atmosphere. I would recommend him to everyone.
I have now gotten three tattoos from Molly and I cant recommend her highly enough. Her work is awesome - people compliment me on my Taz tattoo all the time. Shes professional, easy to talk to, and just an all around cool person. Seriously, go get tattoo(s) from her.The shop is clean, theres great music, and the artists are awesome.
Crystal is a queen she did my industrial and tragus 10/10
James (the Barber) was phenomenal!! Trust and comfort, from the moment I sat down. Patiently worked with me, on basically my first haircut since the beginning of the pandemic.. Well worth the wait 😉I will definitely be returning !
Had my first tattoo at A1. Bryan was friendly, personable and very professional. Great artwork! Crystal brightens the experience and the rest of the staff is very friendly as well. Thank you! Cant wait to visit again.
I got pierced by Crystal and she was amazing! She did my industrial, tragus, second, third holes and a triple helix for me. I will definitely be going back to get more. She is very sweet and very professional. Best place to go!
I get cut by Josh Boyer and he’s one of the best around. Friendly, clean, and most importantly will always give you what you asked for. Atmosphere is great & the rest of the barbers are always welcoming. Highly recommend!
Came for a haircut and was nervous I’m new to the area and haven’t had a haircut In a long time and I could not be more satisfied Hallie did a excellent job and worked with me on figuring out the best look she went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations you earned a returning customer I’ll only be coming here for now on
Today I went in to ask a question about a piercing I received from out of the area and I need a piece of the jewelry changed as an emergency. I met Crystal, she was very professional and thorough in explaining everything. She changed the piece at no charge. Crystal you rock!!! I will definitely return. Thanks so much for your help.
I’ve gotten my haircut by Darren Parisano a few times and the attention to detail as well as the “future” view I had he understood to a T! As long as Darren cuts hair, he’ll be my one and only barber. I’ve truthfully never been so happy with a haircut until Darren understood the look I was going to and even explained what he does to achieve that for me in the future. 10/10 welll worth Every. Single. Penny. Its clear to be his passion and I am willing and joyfully eager to feed said passion.
🔥5-Stars rating goes to the A1 Barber James! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐James listens to what you want and is friendly.He takes pride in his work and is a True Artist! 🔥Plus easy to make Appointments using their Online website is Sooo simple to use unlike others Ive tried before at other places.I have been looking for a good barber for over a year in glassboro area.I found a Home @A1 Barbershop!I have tried many places and have to say that James is the Best Barber I have found after trying 5 other places.Clean Barber Shop area.They wear masks or you can wear masks while they cut your hair, they dont mind doing that.Other places got annoyed when I wanted to wear my 😷 mask. That is why I came here.A1 Barbershop is the Best!⭐Go See James = Tall Red Headed Guy with a Beard!🔥*FYI=This Barbershop also does Tattoos on the other side of the same building! A1 Tattoos
Drew (i think that was his name) was awesome and did a great job. He was friendley and good vibes. Very fair prices. Overall I am so content with my new tattoo, as well as my experiece there. 10/10 yall
Krystal is an excellent piercer! It was a great experience. The atmosphere was awesome, just had a positive vibe from the moment we walked in. It was also super clean. Will definitely be going back.
This is the only shop I will get tattoos in south Jersey. Every tattoo I have from this shop is solid and bright. The shop has been around 1999 and has aged very well. The experience in the people that work here is absolutely astounding. If you are near south jersey and want tattoos that are bold and will hold, this is the place to go.
Super clean, great service! Pierced my lip and I didnt even feel it! Changed out my nipple bars, unfortunately my one was pierced incorrectly so she told me to take it out and Ill be back in a month for her to pierce it correctly!! GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Cracker and everyone in there was awesome from start to finish! I called last minute and Cracker stayed so I could come in! Made sure I was comfortable the whole time and kept the convo going to ease the pain! Couldn’t be any happier with his work & how awesome the entire experience was!
I’m pleased to say this was the first tattoo shop i’ve ever been to and will be the one I will forever stick with. Jay is an awesome artist and gets the job done super clean and efficiently
I’ve had my haircut by Darren several times and it’s always been a great experience. He does a great job and is always professional and organized. Keeps his work area clean and his tools sanitized.
I’ve never been tattoo shop in South Jersey before, but I’m glad I was referred to A1! It has a friendly and energetic atmosphere and you can tell that everyone is passionate about their work! Along with that, the talent is unreal! If you’re looking for a spot to get your next tattoo, check this place out!!
Thank you Cracker and Crystal @ A1 for another awesome tattoo. This is I think my 5th tattoo from them over the years. I grew up in Franklinville where they are located, remember when the place first opened, and it’s awesome to see how much they have grown esp in a small town! Also, love that it’s a family business...his wife Crystal pierced my nose a few weeks ago, and I didn’t feel a thing. I enjoy seeing how their kids have grown over the years too each time I get a new tattoo. Thanks guys and hope Hall & Oats Hotline is playing through the speakers my next tattoo!
Clean work done in a nice shop by cool people. I was there to support my folks and happily met with a real charming family. The artist, Cracker, is a talented tattooist and FAST!
My daughter wanted her ears piecred last year and we came here as a recommendation from a friend (thanks Skye). My daughter changed her mind at last second, which the piercer was very understanding of. I wound up getting my noise pierced.
Work was good...so far. My best friend and I got a quote tattoo that took 18 minutes each no detail and was charged $125 each person for a total of $250. I feel like i was robbed...being charged too much. Artist was worried about going to philly afterwards...charged us prices of whatever he was going to be after in Philly.
The ONLY place I go for tattoos and piercings. A1 has extremely talented artists who work with you to make sure that your tattoo comes out with exactly how you want it.Cracker did 3 of mine and he is so talented at what he does, my arm piece came out even better than I hoped. Almost one year later and my tattoo is as vivid as the day I had it done.I suffer from chronic migraines that were completely debilitating, I was having migraines almost daily for several months. I read about the diath piercing and how it’s supposed to help with migraines and decided to give it a shot. Crystal did my piercing and I have not had anything worse than a few moderate headaches since. I can’t guarantee that this piercing will work for everyone but it was a total game changer for me.I would recommend A1 to anyone wether you want a piercing or a tattoo, they’re the place to go. You truly get what you pay for at A1, go check them out!!!
My G/F and I went here last night. We both got work done by Cracker. Excellent tattoos and excellent customer service. Recommend to anyone wanting some ink.
I called asked if they did walk ins. I told them is be there by 7:15. I walked in was met by Ham and Cracker was at his station. Was welcomed by both. I felt very comfortable and appreciated. I will be going again thats for sure.
Cracker and his staff are amazing! They make you feel like family. Cracker turned my idea I to a gorgeous piece of art, session one down more to go.
Sketches, Free hand, color, black or white is on point 100%!! Prices are so reasonable for such GREAT WORK & they Never fade, always makes you feel comfortable, makes whatever you get & where as painless as possible!! I NEVER let anyone tattoo me except for Cracker!! His skillzzz are ill 💯 #DOA1
Happy with my 1st experience with A1 my daughters go there on a regular finally got mines in got 2 tattoos so Happy with both of them the artist is AWESOME& Its a clean spot friendly staff ..Great choice will be going back for few more
Straightest lines Ive ever seen, I am absolutely impressed and I love it! Drew is an amazing artist and I will definitely be going here for a lot more work
Hands down the best barber shop Ive ever been to everything from quality to atmosphere A-1 Tattoo & Barber is second to none All The Barbers are great the owner cracker is a solid dude and make sure you leave happy will continue to go for haircuts and tattoos
I go to Joshua Boyer at A1 for both my sons and my haircuts. He is professional, amazing and always does his best to accommodate our busy schedule!
I went to get a piercing & Crystal made my experience a great one. I felt safe and she assured I would be okay considering I was NERVOUS.. loved it
Literally the most amazing place! I love the staff there, they make you feel like family. Tattoos are just how you want them, highly recommend.
Cracker did a memorial piece for me work was detailed with a soft hand and time efficient not rushed completely thorough and he’s super easy to talk with definitely recommended
Had my belly button pierced from them
Person there I was trying to work with (cracker) since Ham left has kept me waiting on a design for about 2 months, would have been easier to just tell me you’re incapable of it, got a new artist in Pitman now, got the sketch done in 3 days
Me and my son love this place!! Jay is amazing,friendly and very cool amazing tattoo artist
I had a super great 1st time experienceI was nervous at first but my guy made me comfortable and put my mind at ease and made it a super fun experienceWill definitely go back and get another and will highly recommend this place
On the barber side ask for Josh! He does an amazing job. He is licensed, professional, & clean. 10/10!
If you can get past the lack of professionalism.... Chinese ink...Comedy show atmospher... Racism and racist language.. Then this is the place for you.. My opion stay far away... Or free is always cool.. The owners always up for trading w**d for free tats. Honesty so many better places in the area... Sinful...Eternal 12oz.. Mystic. Evolution.. Under the gun... Head light.. Empire ..sic creation.
I take my 8-year-old here to get his haircut. They always do a great job, and everyone is so nice.
Cracker does great work. Been going for years. Everyone is always so friendly. Good prices. Def going back..

Got a tattoo from Cracker, excellent customer service and work! Definitely will be back for more!
A Real Chill Place..Great Music...Great Enviroment...James is hands down the best barber I ever had!!!
The owner having to try to steer people away from other shops by name instead of letting quality of work speak for itself says enough about the place.
Jerry is the hands down greatest barber on the planet.
