The whole staff there are badass! Myself my girl and my friend all went for the Friday the 13th sale we waited in line and got on a list. After a while, the cool front desk lady came out and said that if we left our number so they could contact us we would be guaranteed a tattoo. Well that night they didn’t make it through though all 7 pages of sign ups but determined to honor their verbal agreement Kristina contacted me to make arrangements to get that tattoo. So here it is Sunday and I got my tattoo. They were all really cool and did a great job. I’ll be coming back for sure.

I go here for all my needle therapy. Love the atmosphere of the shop and how personable everybody is. Michael is amazing with his piercings. He walks you through everything and make sure you understand Christina who does my tattoos is absolutely amazing. I’ve never wiped out without a piece that I haven’t fallen in love with yet will definitely be going back. To finish my ears to finish my sleeves and who knows what’s next thank you Center Inc. for all that you do. Can’t wait to get stich done next month

Ive been here 4 times in the last 2 years or so, either for me or with friends. The piercings are 5 star and I would highly recommend using them for piercings. The guy who does them is always really friendly and the piercings look good.I got a tattoo here about 6 months ago. Im not sure what the womans name was that did mine. The tattoo looks really good and healed well. I sent an image of what I wanted and told her what size, 5 small all black birds, exactly the way pictured.The issue i had, was that when she put the stencil on, one of the birds were backwards. Looking in the mirror at the stencil, I didnt notice, but thankfully my husband caught it and we were able to get it fixed, so in the end it worked out. If he hadnt noticed, I would have a permanent mistake on my body. I realize mistakes happen, but I sent an exact copy of what I wanted and I would expect someone doing permanent tattoos on people, would be more careful. I probably will not get another tattoo here, since that mistake was too close to happening for comfort.

I followed Richard from the very first tattoo shop we had in town (Rat Pack) here to Central Ink! I have had the luxury of being a customer for many years and had amazing opportunities to enjoy a few amazing artists here! I couldnt recommend better people! They work hard and know what they are doing! From Michael continuing all my piercings and Kristina really bringing all I love and desire to my skin, I endlessly receive compliments! Yet, what matters most is how I couldnt be happier with the beautiful art thats now a part of me for life!Kristina has taken such a variety of things that mean so much to me and I personally love and paired them with my own style! She incorporated me in every piece without ever losing the true meaning behind what I wanted symbolized! I couldnt ask for more!! She is so creative and it always comes out better than I could have asked for!A customer for life!

The guy up front was the only one working on the Saturday we came in. He was slammed with clients and remained level headed and professional. When we went to the room (to have my 11 year olds ears pierced) he made sure she was comfortable and made the piercing quick and accurate. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Really clean, professional environment. Michael was my piercer. I got my lobes re-pierced and my septum pierced for the first time. I don’t think I came off very nervous but he still was comfortably talkative and informed me what was going on the whole time. Super fast and not painful at all! He also told me about all the aftercare procedures and made sure when I missed something that I heard it again. Definitely would go back for more.

Nino went above and beyond to give me exceptional service. He also went above and beyond to make sure that I had a tattoo in a really sensitive area on difficult skin that I would really love. The tattoo looks great and he was really kind about me being insecure about my stomach after 4 kids. He turned something I really hated about myself into something I love & for that I can’t thank him enough. I will definitely be going back & adding more! This is the only shop I use for a majority of my piercing & tattoos for a reason. I love the people here and love my end results.

I got my first facial piercings here and I absolutely loved them when I had them. They made me feel like a new person I’m just sad I had to take them out a couple months back. I called again to see if they piercer over the scar tissue cuz some other place said they won’t do it and I’m glad they said they can.

McKenna pierced my septum! She was awesome! She let my friend sit in with me because I was nervous and she talked me through it too. She gave very simple instruction on care, and was super friendly! Everyone else that works there seem very straight forward, but no one was mean, contrary to what some have said in other reviews. I will definitely be coming back again! Oh, and be sure to tip because its art.

Review №24

Yesterday, I got my first piercing (besides the automatic ear piercing that parents give a lot of children.) I was pretty nervous at first. However, Kevin helped me at the front desk. We joked around, and he explained how getting a bellybutton piercing can be a little dangerous but also made sure that i knew exactly how to clean and what to clean it with. He double checked that everything was sterile, and that i was sterile before hand. He was very calm and reassuring and made me take to keep my mind off of the needle (i am very scared of needles.) We joked about how i said ow when it happened and he explained how everything was going to work. He cleaned it up, and gave me napkin just incase I bled. And to top it all off, he made sure i was okay before letting me leave and told me to come back if i started feeling anything but good. I would come back for any future piercing and i would 100% recommend every one to get their piercings done here.

Review №25

Would NOT recommend this place for piercings at all! I trusted that they knew what there were talking about when asking if my ear would be OK for an industrial piercing. I already have two upper piercings, one on each ear. They claimed it would be fine, so I went ahead. I got home a few days later and went to a local tattoo/piercing shop and they immediately noticed some things were not right off from just looking at it! First off, the piercing retainer they used was basically PVC piping which over 4+ months can break down and release toxins into your body (was not told about this what so ever!). Second, my ears cannot handle an industrial piercing because of the fact that the bar will put too much pressure on my ear and rub towards the center of where the bar is causing irritation. Wish I would have known some of this before being told Yeah, itll be fine. Such bullshit! I am the type that typically wont complain about bad service but this one warranted one!! Maybe this will help someone else thats thinking about getting a piercing from this place!

I received my first tattoo here with Kristina, and it was just like I wanted! The price was very good and the tattoo itself is super crisp and quality. The storefront was very good and they had their areas very personalized and clean it was very nice.

Review №27

I went there in October of 2019 to get a septum piercing with my best friend, it wasn’t horrible seemingly, and the place was clean. But he didn’t clean either of our piercings and he pierced my septum through my cartilage, it wasn’t through the septum, He didn’t even feel for where it was! It was very painful, when septum piercing aren’t supposed to be, as it is a small thin piece of skin, and not normal,y through cartilage. He told me I didn’t have to clean it at all, and I didn’t listen to him and cleaned it twice a day, cause that’s just plain not okay to not clean a piercing.

Kevin did my nipple piercing today. I am probably older than most clients he sees. It was really difficult for me to even walk in there. Kevin was very professional and made me feel comfortable. Thank you so much. I would recommend Kevin and Central Ink for piercing! And the pain? Nahhhhh.

I got a normal helix piercing about three years ago, and when they pierced it the jewelry they put in was a diamond stud with a butterfly back. it was a normal earring that are meant for lobes. it got infected and i have an irritation bump, and i cant wear jewelry in it because it never healed properly. no reputable piercer would use that jewelry.

I havent went yet but I was wondering if they did piercings for teens? my niece is turning 14 on the 12th and I promised her on her last birthday I would get her one on her 14th! But I dont know if any place would allow it to be done. This place has the highest rating thats closets to Duncan all she wants is a Monroe piercing that thing you get on your upper lip a little ways away from you nose. I would really appreciate it if someone got back to me about it!

Review №34

Cant recommend. Got a piece done last month and I noticed that it hurt more than any other tattoo ever has, like I was crying and white knuckling the table. It was my fifth tattoo and second on my chest, so Im not unfamiliar with the pain. After the tattoo, Kristina bandaged me up before I even looked in a mirror, which was a huge mistake, because if Id looked, Id have seen the huge blowout over more than half of the tattooed area. A blowout is typically caused by an artist using too heavy a hand, causing the ink to bleed into the subcutaneous layers under the skin. It results in a fuzzy undefined line and cannot be corrected except by camouflage or cover-up. I sent Central Ink a pic of the blowout and they responded that it was bruising and should clear up in a few days and asked me to come back in a week for them to look at it. I showed a few other tattoo artists the same pic and they informed me that the blowout was obvious and could not possibly be mistaken for a bruise. I knew then that I couldnt trust Central Ink to even fix their mistake, since they wouldnt acknowledge it in the first place. Shady place, Id recommend going elsewhere unless you just dont care about whats going to be on your body permanently.

Review №36

I went here to get my first tattoo...awful experience. The staff was rude and instead of educating me about tattoos (I was new) they just talked to me like I was an idiot. All I wanted was a small cross...2 lines. You wouldnt think it would be that difficult. It ended up being crooked, and most of the ink fell out. People have often commented it looks like I got it done in jail or on the street. Very spotty, and its about the easiest tattoo a person can do. Wouldnt ever recommend it to anyone...

Review №37

Ive been reading through these reviews and it seems like people here are very misinformed. For one, do not bring a service dog that had loose hair into a tattoo place where they cause harm and open wounds to help people make art out of their bodies. If a hair gets caught up in the tattoo that person will have a ruined tattoo and a painful ride ahead of them. Also, if you go in for a piercing, you should know more about yourself before putting foreign objects into your body. Because the artists wont be able to tell you. Central Ink, keep doing what youre doing. I had nothing but a good time hear and great service.

These people are amazing. Went in late november and got my tragus pierced. its doing amazing. went last night and got my belly button done and my tragus combinded with the anti tragus(not sure that the actual name for it is) and they arent as sore as my nose was the next day after going some where else to get it done. my sister got her suicide indsutial bar done, and it looks amazing, so does the tattoo my mom got done last night. i get any more things done, going back to them!

Horrible, the lady in this place, if she even still works there should not be tattooing anybody. This place is an embarrassment to the art of tattooing. Fort sill should black list this place. Want a real tat? Go see Mike Evans at elite tattoo, he’s one of the best in the region.

Review №46

I got two tattoos by Richard on both of my sides with the BOGO deal. The first was just a quote and the free one was a quote with more details around it. The first one he did a good job on and the second with the quote and more detail looks like a little kid tattooed on me, the colors in my stars are faded, I had a little scarring, the lines are off, the moon looks like an earth, it’s a mess but I guess that’s what I get for thinking a BOGO was gonna be worth it. Maybe he was having an off day or something but now I have to have this on me the rest of my life, think about what you may have.

Review №55

I went to this place as happy as could be because I was finally getting a piercing that I really wanted, first thing that I noticed is that the staff does not care if they are cussing or not around any one or talking bad about anything around their customers second the guy that pierced me was kind of rude from the way that he talked to his coworkers and the way they talked to him and kind of the way he talked to me and my mom I mean I get that he could have a bad day and the others to but When I got there they just started opening up so I dont know what the problem was but I have to give this guy som credit because he did make me feel comfortable and pierced me very well but the way that him and his coworkers acted made me second think on this place for my next piercing
