I have problems with men rather that they are doctors nurses piercers etc. men in general seeing my private areas but when I went in to get my nipples pierced of course I was nervous just because what I was getting pierced. It happened to be a male and he made me feel very comfortable telling me about his wife to keep my nervousness down so he could do his job. He was really great but getting your nipples pierced hurts so bad. But I did it and they do one at a time there’s not 2 people to do them both at once so you get double the pain. But it was worth it and my boyfriend just loves them. So I’m very pleased with this shop. And would go again.

Jay Painter is the guy to go to. I have been going to him for YEARS and recommend him to everyone I know hes currently working on my left arm making it a family source with 2 of my childrens eyes art and birth times my right arm making it into an ocean sleeve for my other two children. There is a long wait usually to get into him but he is definitely worth the wait

We had Chris, he did absolutely fantastic. A little bit higher than other places in town, but 100% worth it. Super clean, super professional, not intimidating for a first timer

The first time I came in was to get my ears pierced, my seconds on both lobes and my helix. The customer service was beyond incredible and they did an incredible job making me feel comfortable. The environment was also wonderful and welcoming, so I can back to get a tattoo a couple weeks after the piercings. I had only planned on making an appointment, but one of the artists, Austin, had an opening and was able to make accommodations to work me into his schedule. He designed and tattooed an incredible piece of art, making sure I felt heard and comfortable. It was an incredible experience all around and I completely believe I have found my permanent tattoo artist!

Great tattoos! I went to Jimmy for a cover tattoo. He did great on the cover, he finished the outline within a timely manner and was cool af. Pleasant experience. Work looks absolutely amazing. Went in for a crow cover and left with a partial forest sleeve. I would recommend to many more folks but here’s the issue.I’ve been put off for an entire year. The outline has been finished for a year and when it came to getting the shading finished, there’s an excuse every time my appointment date has come. I’ve been rescheduled 5 different times as something always comes up. I understand life happens, but 5 different times? Sounds like a lot of excuses. I have a feeling I keep getting put back is because I’ve already paid for the work to be finished, but there’s other paying customers. As I understand it’s a business, I paid for a service that I expect to be finished if it’s already been paid in full.

Review №14

Got a septum piercing done by Nick and he was absolutely amazing! I got very faint after the piercing and he let me stay there, lie down, got me a candy bar, some water, and this amazing lady even gave me a chewable tablet (to get blood sugar back up) until I was back to normal and could head home. I am very appreciative of both of them, 10/10 definitely recommend!!

Review №15

Went in for ear piercing with Nick and was more than pleased. Both with his work and the cleanliness of the tools and the shop. I would 100% recommend this place for your piercing needs.

Amazing. I just got my nipples pierced and was nervous since I am a big girl. Nick Spencer made me instantly feel at ease and comfortable. He was very professional. I would recommend to any and everyone. I will be back to get a tat

Great experience. Everyone was really nice and helpful. The lady that did my piercings was AMAZING!! I had a lot of questions that she had no problem answering. She made me feel comfortable and talked me through it. I will be back. Highly recommend this shop.

Review №20

At first I was really scared about getting my septum. The lady was super nice and talked me through it. The whole experience took less than 15 minutes!! The place is very clean and has good vibes :). I did a little shopping after I got my piercing and while I was shopping the ball fell off so I went back and she got me in immediately and fixed it for FREE! I HIGHLY recommend this place.

Review №21

Worst money ever spent. Kannon loyd booked me himself, saw what I wanted & told him where, he assured me no problem. Got there & seemed put out by the size & placement I wanted. Over a month later & it still looks like it is bleeding & none of the lines are smooth. Now I am branded with something that looks like no one with any experience was playing at. Waited 20 years to find the design I wanted, seems like a good place for artists but I guess I should have waited longer. He charged me almost double for an all black tribal than we spent on my daughter’s cosmic dream catcher done by another in their group. Will never recommend that he be used by anyone. Burn the money, you will get better value.

Review №22

I would highly recommend this place to anyone considering some new ink. Chris always brings my tattoo ideas to life with a uniqueness to them. Dont see myself ever going to another tattoo parlor. Staff is always welcoming and its a comfortable atmosphere to be in for multiple hours.

Review №23

Total disappointment. I was going to not post, but the situation just worked on me. Booked an appointment on February 25th for a 4 hour session today (March 24th). I wanted to get bands on my arm and at the time the guy at the front desk recommended 2 artists that he thought I should use. I picked one and looked forward to getting done. Today I show up 15 minutes prior and my artist (who showed up after) says that he had just looked at my artwork last night, the night before my appointment. Very hesitant, as he said the bands are really something he couldn’t feel confident in (lining up, etc.). It would have been nice to know BEFORE I made the half hour drive up for a 4 hour appointment, in any one of the days of the month wait. I won’t, in fairness, name the artist, but suffice it to say I’ll move on.This could have all been avoided with some simple communication. I won’t be going back.

Review №25

My brother had a spur of the moment decision to get a tattoo so we drove 2 hours to St. Joe. When our original plans fell through, google led us to Independent Tattoo Company and it was bomb as hell. He loves his ink and Chris was a super chill guy and easy to work with. Not to mention you cant beat the prices!

Review №29

Was very happy with my work on the first visit but was extremely disappointed during my second session. Tattoo did not at all look remotely close to what I wanted or the picture I used for reference. Contacted this artist to remedy and he did not have much to offer and really didn’t appear to want to fix it. Eluded to me that he felt rushed. Eventually sought other options as he turned out to be unreliable in my opinion. I absolutely loved my tattoo until my second visit. Now I’m seeking options to cover the whole thing up.

Review №30

I got my first tattoo done here the day after my 18th birthday, it was clean and my artist did good work, considering I only got a signature tattooed on me. But everyone was very dull. I was very uncomfortable. My artist (he didnt tell me his name) asked how I was and that was it. I wish he would have talked to me a bit more. I understand people have to focus when they tattoo someone but mine was literally just line work. I was hoping for everyone to be more inviting. I gave it a 4 star because the work was good. But I wont go back. I was hoping I had found the place that would do all my tattoos. But Ill find somewhere else.

Review №32

Went today for a naval piercing and it was amazing! The place was super clean and well-kept, and the whole staff was really kind. Also, the guy who did the piercing talked the whole time to try and distract from the piercing which was super helpful! Absolutely loved it!

Review №33

We filled out the paperwork only for them to say my sister couldn’t get her lip pierced there because she was too young (even though she already had one) and had to redo all of my paperwork because I’m a minor although we provided identification before even receiving the paperwork. Unreasonable price for a bellybutton piercing with very small balls and one came off a few hours later so had to buy a separate one just for the ball. But they were nice.

Review №38

I get a tattoo. I loved it but I think the Saniderm sticker pulled a lot of ink out. I contact the shop to see if they can shade it darker and fix a few lines. They say they can help but give me a terrible run around when trying to make a touch up appointment. I do not recommend this shop.
