Ink-N-Um Tattoo & Body Piercing

So me and my friend went in to get our belly buttons pierced and the guy gave us both hoops which we didn’t know were outdated until like a day later. mine was crooked and i went to my other piercer to get it checked out and apparently it was way too stretched and for those who don’t know, a hoop will just never heal right which is why it’s supposed to be a bar smh. Also one of the men in there made TWO racist jokes in front of me, my friend and the rest of the customers and it was very uncomfortable. The piercer himself was nice but the piercing was wack. I just got it removed and it’s been two days. 1 star.

Overall enjoyable experience can not say it was pain-free but that was expected. I experienced friendly and knowledgeable customer service delivering service with a smile and humor to ease ones nerves. Clean, sterile, and tidy shop offering an array of piercing jewelry for ones selection. I am a completely satisfied customer and will return for additional piercings.

I visited a few months ago for a lobe & helix piercing. Everything was very clean and sterile. Bob gave me aftercare instructions, and told me to call with any questions. I would highly recommend, and would go back for more piercings!

Great place. Bob is very experienced and created my design exactly how I pictured it. Will be going back again soon!

Bob is extremely talented and has 25 plus years of experience.

Got a 3rd ear lobe piercing was quick, clean, and professional will definitely be coming back! Great business.

My wife and I went to get piercing...Bob was great and has a good sense of humor.Shop was clean...overall a really great experience!!

5-17-23 Bob pierced my nose today. He is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and super patient👌🏽. He thoroughly explains the piercing process, healing, and after care. I have a very low threshold for pain...he talked to me the entire time leading up to, during and after the piercing to ease my nerves👍🏽. He encourages questions and clearly wants you to have a successful piercing experience. This shop is definitely a neighborhood gem. Ill add a photo later 😁.....but 💗 my nose ring.

Bob is absolutely the best! He has done multiple piercings and tattoos! He is always cool and has great patience with clients. Very thorough with Aftercare instructions! Going back to start a sleeve soon! ❤️ You wont regret your decision to allow him and only him to help you express your art in tattoo form!

This was the smoothest process I’ve ever been through, I was nervous for absolutely nothing. He made me feel comfortable and talked me through the entire process and even aftercare, he genuinely cares about his clients. I got my septum pierced and it was quick and the pain was a 6/10. I could not leave without giving that man a nice hefty tip! He was so appreciative and that’s what awesome customer service looks like! Thanks Bob!

Awesome!!! Bob made me feel very comfortable. He talked to me the whole time when getting my piercings did. He did an Excellent job! Cool place! I would definitely recommend going there. He also made sure I have after care products for my piercings and gave me important information on how to take care of them!

Bob was excellent! He plays the best music and is very accommodating. He is helpful and tells you how to care for your piercing. Nice place. Nice guy.

I’m so happy i did a bit more digging finding a place to go to & this was a great experience meeting the owner (Bob) & having him tattoo me. What I wanted was very simple & he did what was expected! He was very kind & welcoming. Thank you!

The best experience. I had my nose pierced and Bob was so reassuring, professional, funny and made me feel so comfortable in getting it done. The process was quick and done. I was given instructions on how to care for my it. I would recommend this place for piercing and tattoos.

I went here last year at the spare of the moment. There was one more girl in front of me. We both got our noses pierced and it was the most fun experience I’ve ever had getting a piercing. He was very friendly! And my piercing till this day healed up great. He pierced my ear as well! I’m going back hopefully this week for my septum.

This is the only shop I go to for my piercings! Bob did my tongue ,septum, and my nostril! Definitely coming back for 4-5 more piercings! He tells you clear aftercare instructions and he’s sanitary and just an overall amazing guy! I’m not going to no one else but him!

Bob is awesome. He is hilarious. He is professional. He does solid work. I see another review about loss of deposit. I mean that is standard. You miss your appointment you lose your deposit. He has done several tats for me and my family members. Check out his Instagram.

Very relaxed atmosphere. Got my first tattoo there. Bob took his time with me and made sure I was comfortable and liked the drawing before I got the tattoo. I LOVE it! Very beautiful artwork! Would recommend to everyone. Yes there is cheaper shops. But you get what you pay for. The colors are amazing for my tattoo. Explained how to care for my ink. Got a feather with doves. The blues in the feather is so amazing and the feather looks 3DWished I could share a picture

Bob is always polite VERY CLEAN and does amazing work. Explains aftercare clearly and several times. My nipple piercings and nose piercings have healed perfectly no issues when follow his steps.

Not a clear photo. But the guy who did my nose was very kind. The service was very fast. I was in and out. Got my nose done before work. It’s VERY clean. Mask mandatory. And I was informed in detail on how to take care of my nose piercing. It’s been some time now and my piercing is doing great. Placement is great! Pain was only like a 6/10 for me. It’s fast. I was worried about which place I go to get it done as I did not want to end up with a bad or infected piercing.

I got a nose and an industrial piercing. Bob explained everything so detailed about what he was doing, the healing process, and products needed to help the healing. Very professional. You can tell he cares and wants you to come back with questions if you have any. Great service! Coming back in the summer with my little sister for her belly button piercing.

I first came to Bob when I was looking to get a semi-colon on my wrist. He did it the same day, and it was far more than I expected. The shading different and unique and it went by like a breeze. I went in today for a nose piercing, and I left super happy. He walked me through it and I didnt even feel any pain. Super chill guy and comforting.

He gave done all my tattoo and I love him !!!! When I lived out of state I came back just because he is the only person I let tattoo me!!!!!

Bob is the best he pierced my tongue and walked me through every step made me feel comfortable it didn’t even hurt it happened so fast, I highly recommend this place!

I got my first tattoo here. Bob is very friendly welcoming and professional. I love my tattoo even after 8 years. I do recommend coming here.

Received my first tattoo here nearly 7 years ago. Tattoo is still nice looking, nothing has run together, etc. Ive also gotten snakebites (piercing) here and Bob educated me on caring for it, how certain piercing methods (gun versus needle) can run the risk of infection, etc. Have never had an issue with anything Ive had done here. I used to think they were a bit pricey but being more educated now, I understand why many shops worth anything charge as they do.

Bob is awesome he did several of my tats and piercings threw out the years since I was 16 I am now 34 havent seen u Ina while big guy! Miss u Bob! Gotten big angel wings back tat, sun tat, hearts, and numerous peircings. Its been a good few years since Ive visited I had to sadly move, next time Im in the neighborhood u better believe Im headed his way!

I stopped by on a cross country road trip in a panic over a bad nostril piercing Id gotten done in Denver. Within 36 hours the skin had healed over the piercing and I couldnt get the disk of the ring back through. Bob was super helpful, thoroughly explained all my options, and was gentle when forcing the piercing back through. He also gave some great after care directions and product to help reduce swelling and prevent infection /further complications. I only wish I had gotten my piercing done here in the first place!

I didnt end up getting my piercing here. I called at 7pm and the shop closes at 9pm. I called for a nose piercing With Bob. He answered the phone I asked him what that night looked like for him if he had time. He said he had two clients waiting and that he would be ready by nine. I get there at 845 just in case he was early. Instead of it being at nine. He said it would be ten. Upon entering I wasnt greated and it smelled like mildew. Would never recommend if I could give a zero I would.

I have had my upper lip area ( Monroe) and nose done here. I actually had the Monroe done twice because I was letting it close and then changed my mind after several months had gone by. The shop owner, (artist) assured me he would do his best to use the same spot. He did and each time was very professional.

Bob is awesome! Fairly priced and excellent work. Definitely my go-to guy tattoos in this area from here on out! He knows his stuff! (Pic was taken right after I was done)

Bob has done all of my tattoos and he does a great job with everything. From start to finish. There’s not much else I have to say other then once you come in you’ll never go to another shop

I got a tattoo of my daughters nickname and it turned out perfect. Thank you so much. Prices are decent for the amount of work. He was so professional and we had a good conversation about all this covid stuff going on

First I would like to say Bob is so cool and down to earth and honest, almost 7 years ago I walked in and he pierced my nose for the very first time and I love it !!!! Yesterday I was in the neighborhood and I said to myself I want a tattoo of a lotus behind my ear, I walked in and he was right on the money,long story short he did the damn thang, and I’ll definitely be back I promise!

Bob is an amazing tattoo artist! He is blunt and honest and will give input if the tattoo is going to work or not. You can see the passion he has for tattooing in all his work.

I had my very first tattoo done today, and the man that did it was very nice, and held a conversation with me while getting the tattoo done. I was able to do a walk in rather than wait for an appointment too. I would DEFINITELY go back for another.

I would not recommend it to others. Hes a thief, plain and simple. If you miss your appointment its your loss you lose your deposit. If your few minutes late you lose your deposit. He does not have the courtesy to inform you of those rules ahead of time. Only open 4 days a week most of the time. The guy is a real character take my advice stay away from him.

The guy that pierced me was very friendly and helpful. They have good prices. I’ll definitely come back.

I had my nose pierced here a couple of times. They are very professional. Now it did hurt, but that is to be expected. This wasnt my first time having my nose pierced, so I kind of knew what to expect. Oh, and the price wasnt bad at all.

I literally loved My experience here I came in for a simple name tattoo bob was quick he was very gentle and I love my tattoo my very first time coming and I was so comfortable. I will definitely be coming back.

Bob did a amazing job on my tattoo stayed open late just to keep his word that hed squeeze me in extremely satisfied he was not only talented in his work but super nice

Bob was very thorough professional very clean place very nice guy. I’d give him more ⭐️ if they offered this option. Make ya feel right at home❤️

Bob has been my go to guy for almost 20 years.My first tatoo was in his apartment and i will follow him wherever he goes.Very friendly and professional and a exellent artist.

He did a very good job he pierce my moms nose and he talked her through it for her not to be nervous very good man thank you

He educated me on the type of piercing I was getting and it was done very quickly. I recommend this place I’ll definitely be returning for other piercings in near future 👍🏽👍🏽

I had a wonderful experience I got my nose pierced and it was so quick!! He made me relaxed and it was over in 5 secs. Will come back

This dude does NOT care about his customers! DO NOT COME HERE! He didnt give mouthwash to my wife before or after piercing her upper lip (madusa). She also gave her a bar that was waaayyyy too small and it went inside her lip. Go to WICKED OWL TATTOO ON TORRENCE! 604 TORRENCE AVE.

How is it that hes a thief for keeping your appointment deposit when he dosnt do appointments? He only does walk-ins. If you put a deposit down to hold a block of time with an artist in my shop and just didnt show up id keep your damm deposit to ya knucklehead!

I Gotten A Owl On My Finger And It Was His 1st Time Doing Somthing Like That I Had Faith In Him And Trust Him. And It Came Out WONDERFUL I Love It.!!!Im Going Back For Another Finger Tattoo, A Dream Catcher On My Arm, And Somthing On My Thigh.I Recommend This Tattoo Shop.Prices Are Acceptable Good Enough. :-)
