Review №1

I got a tattoo here about a week and a half ago. Im originally from Kokomo and had heard a lot of good about New Breed. My tattoos looked good (they were both pretty simple). The artist didnt give me much as far as care - just put on the new skin and handed me a paper. I followed the paper to a T but by the following Thursday, they had majorly faded. They have continued to fade and look awful. I have 10 year old tattoos that look better. I reached out to the artist by email about a refund but was told they didnt give refunds. They offered to touch it up though. I wasnt comfortable with that and simply asked to see the policy - I got no response. I called the shop to talk with the owner who wasnt in but I was given his email. I emailed him to let him know what was going on and to see how this could be resolved. He never responded to me. Im very disappointed and upset with how these look.

Let me tell you about Brooke, the piercer.I have been seeing Brooke for almost two and half years now, between check ups and mapping out new piercings. She and I click exceptionally well, and overall I find her to be impeccable in every regard.Brooke is intelligent. Point blank. There is no question she cannot answer in terms of piercings. Whether it’s type, after care, or a general inquiry, Brooke has very good understanding of the ins and out. She is not afraid to admit where her information lacks, willing to say “I’m not sure, but…” and deducting alongside you. She really does go above and beyond, in a way I haven’t ever seen before. She is passionate about what she does and she’s passionate about you as the client as well. I am not the best care-giver to my piercings, but that has never been a scapegoat to be rude or goading for her. She gives grace and is humble, outlining how being human is normal and acceptable. I never feel judged, I never feel slighted, and I always feel welcome and cared for each and every time I’ve stepped into her space.PLEASE! If you want to get a piercing and need guidance- GO SEE BROOKE! She will go on the journey with you. She wants to see you happy and I always leave exhilarated!10/10 service. 10/10 personality. 10/10 human.

Brooke was a constant professional. Very helpful with the stress and making the client feel comfortable. Never once did I sense that it was actually her job, but what she loves to do. Full of information on the healing process and an overall great experience.

Ok, so my past experiences with New Breed have been amazing. This last time I came in, I had a cartilage piercing from a different piercer that wasn’t healing well. I told the piercer at new breed that I just wanted the piercing cleaned and new jewelry put in. She charged me for a whole piercing + the jewelry + cleaner. The piercing still isn’t healing bc she put a very short bar in and there’s no room for swelling or anything. Not happy about being charged so much and not at all happy with my last experience. Listen to the customer! Doubt I’ll ever be back.

Brooke is AMAZING!! Not only did she do a great job with my initial piercings, she’s committed to the aftercare and continual care of my piercings. She even happily fixed and replaced a piercing that I accidentally pulled out. She is kind, professional, and extremely well educated. I wouldn’t trust anyone else !

I have been to Brooke before and definitely a long time client. I just want to say they were offering a special for a week. She was very very busy. She was very very clean took her time even with a waiting area full. I highly recommend going to her. You will not be disappointed. She’s very knowledgeable and honest which I like. Thank you Brooke. ☺️

I can’t say enough good things about Brooke! I have had several piercings done by her in the past couple years and she has made me feel comfortable for every one of them! She is very clean and informative on aftercare. I’ve never had a problem with my piercings healing after going to her. I won’t go to anyone else!

I’ve been here twice now and will be for a third time. Brooke pierced my double nostrils and it healed perfectly! Absolutely, kind and welcoming. Super knowledgeable and helpful all the way through the process.I went a second time for a walk in tattoo with my best friend. Evvan Amundson was quick to draw us up something and get us tattooed. He was super kind and helpful, as this was both of us’ first tattoo. Answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable. Excellent communication and aftercare! I will be going again to get started of my sleeve with him!

Review №11

The piercer is so good at what she does. Have never had a bad experience with her. Ive had my septum nostril and most recently my daith done. She always get my placement perfect and never continues unless were both on the same page. I will never go to anyone except for her. Highly recommend!

Review №12

Brooke is amazing! She is very professional and thoroughly explains the healing and aftercare process of each piercing. She makes the piercing experience is fun, and comfortable. Brooke is beyond respectful. And the quality of her jewelry is A1. Brooke and her apprentice ensure you understand how to care for your new piercings. And are very responsive to any questions we offer you..

Love Katelyn!! Such a sweet and patient soul. I gave her some word salad as to what I wanted lol I swear, I gave her like four words and she designed this coherent, gorgeous piece. I still need to go for another session to finish this piece. Love her line work. Love her creativity. What a wonderful artist. New Breed is lucky to have her!! 🖤

I just got my conch pierced today. Seth did an amazing job! Talked me through it. It took some time to prepare myself, and he was cool with that. He told me when he was going to pierce, so it wasn’t a surprise. I HIGHLY recommend this piercing and tattooing shop! Very clean, and extremely professional, and I love that. Good job!

Very rude staff and tattoo artists never get back to you about your appointment. They all spend more time walking around complaining about customers than actually tattooing. That or they straight up decline your request. Would not recommend, youre much better off going our of town for this sort of stuff.

Review №30

Brooke did my ni*ple piercings a few months ago - she was AMAZING. I have had several other piercings done by another piercer and he was awesome, but retired. I was so nervous going to a new piercer, especially for such a tender area I’d never gotten done before. Their shop is nice, clean, they’re all professional, and there was a super nice and private room for us to go into for the actual piercings. Brooke explained everything amazingly well, from what she was about to do, to healing and aftercare. It was a great experience. I don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else! The piercings look great, the healing process has been much better than I expected (from what I’ve been told by other peoples’ experiences with ni*ple piercings). Hoping to go in again soon and maybe see Brooke again! She made my transition between piercers easy and she did a fabulous job on my piercings.

So far, Ive only gotten two piercings here. I got a tattoo at the one in Lafayette. Any time I go in for a piercing, theyre all super knowledgeable about any questions I have. If I call up there with anything theyll help. Jake even helped me change out my tongue piercing the first time because I was nervous if it was healed all the way. I love coming in because the shop just has a homey feel... remember to tip your piercer/tattoo artist though!

Review №40

The guy when I walked was rude. Told me the piercer was getting ready to go on break. Then made a face at me. He had no customer service. Said I had to come back in 30 min. The place wasn’t busy. Not like there was a line around the place. This was the second day in a row I tried to get a piercing changed out.

Review №46

Went in for a navel piercing a few days ago. Very clean, fast, and an overall good experience but after looking at my piercing in the mirror, it’s set about 1/2 inch too high which is known to lead to higher risk of rejection of the piercing and it is obviously crooked. Wouldn’t come pack for a piercing.

Waited there and were told the guy who pierces would be right back. After 10 minutes he shows up. The person who waited on us completely forgets we were next. So in the midst of him playing on his phone instead of working we were skipped. Lost our current and future business due to poor work ethic and professionalism.

Went in to see about some cover up work. Was told 1 pass with the laser would lighten it up enough to do the cover up. 2 passes later still not much better. Ive had laser work done before and it ia clear that they are slow walking people with the laser now to train and sandbag money. If you arent personal friends with these guys dont expect fair treatment. One of my passes didnt even get completed because the laser died. Was there an offer to finish the pass? Nope! Stay away from new breed.
