Comfortable and clean spot! DJ did my first larger tattoo today. Thorough in my stencil/drawing and all my requests and tweaks to change it or placement. He was very thoughtful throughout the process making sure I had ate, bathroom breaks and checking on my comfortability throughout☺️. Would highly recommend him and this tattoo shop!!

We had an exceptional experience getting tattooed by Duane at Darkwater Tattoo shop. His attention to detail and artistic skill truly impressed me. Duane took the time to understand exactly what myself and wife wanted and offered valuable insights to enhance the design. His professionalism and relaxed demeanor made the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. The tattoo itself exceeded our expectations; the lines are clean, and the shading is expertly done. I highly recommend Duane to anyone looking for a talented and personable tattoo artist.

Dj was great. I had a walk in haven’t had a tattoo in a while and he was very professional and great to talk to. The design is perfect he really knew how to bring the best out of something relatively simple.

Darkwater Artists always do a phenomenal job! I’ve gotten 3/4 piercings here and recently got a tattoo from Ann that turned out incredibly gorgeous! Every experience has been pleasant and easy going, definitely a secure spot!

My knuckles needed to get redone, I messaged Ann and she had one of her artists get me right in. Nice clean shop, atmosphere was welcoming too. Very happy with the way my hands came out. Thanks again to MK for a job well done. Would highly recommend and will be back for more work.

The artist DJ was very friendly and cool, it was my first tattoo and he was super informative and helpful with maintenance and after-care. The art was awesome and I’m super happy with the overall experience. Love the aesthetic of the store too. Very comfortable. I look forward to coming back for more ink!

First, when I walked in the piercing kid behind the counter was sleeping. He awoke and said, I wasnt sleeping as he stood up from a laying back position in his chair.Secondly, I wanted my Monroe pierced and while he was piercing he let out a big sigh and said he was having some trouble with the tube. It was the longest piercing I have ever recieved and I told him that.Lastly, the post that was put into my face was so short it was sinking into my skin and had no room for swelling to occur.Since the shop wont be open for 2 more days, I removed said piercing. I followed all aftercare instructions and had even given a 10$ tip. I was advised not to go here but wanted to support local business.Very disappointed 😥

Had a great experience at dark water tattoo. When I got there for my appointment I was greeted at the front counter by Andrew their piercing specialist. He went to the back and got my tattoo artist DJ who already had the paperwork ready for me to sign. The owner Ann came into check in on us during the tattoo. She was very friendly. Im very pleased with the professionalism of the studio 10/10! Ive already made another appointment with DJ and look forward to working with him again.

I brought my 10 year old daughter in to get her ears pierced. Andrew did the piercing. He was fantastic. His set up was very clean, he explained the whole process of what he was going to do before he started so my daughter was comfortable. He was thorough in explaining the aftercare to her and patiently answered all questions she had for him. I would highly recommend Darkwater Tattoo Shop for any piercings. *sidenote* while I was in the shop I overheard another tattoo artist explaining to a potential client why the tattoo/placement of a tattoo they wanted wouldnt work well with her other tattoos. I found that extremely impressive that she risked loss of a potential client to make sure the work was on point.

I had a small tattoo that I wanted covered. When I arrived they had an image sketched up and ready to go. They listened to what I wanted. DJ, who is an apprentice did the tattoo, and did an amazing job. I was very comfortable, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Ann was available to help guide DJ if any help was needed. It was a wonderful environment and I am very happy with the end result. Look forward to getting more work done in the future.

Review №24

I got my piercings done here by Ann and I highly recommend her. Most tattoo shops that do piercings are not good simply because they use jewelry that causes infections/ allergic reactions, or tell you to clean with dial soap. Here they have custom jewelry also they tell you to use salt water 10/10 recommend and will be back!!!

I had a bad piercing experience prior to coming to this shop which made me feel iffy about getting it redone. I decided to come here after getting a beautiful tattoo a bit ago. Needless to say, I will never go to any other tattoo shop! The staff is friendly and professional and you can really tell they know what theyre doing. Thank you Darkwater!

My daughter, age 10, got her ears pierced at Darkwater Tattoo today and it was a success. I would never have thought to go to a tattoo parlor but it was suggested to me by one of the gymnastics moms. So I did my research and chose Darkwater Tattoo based on all of the wonderful reviews online and the reviews held true. Ann was fantastic and made my daughter feel very comfortable by talking with her and explaining everything as she went. My daughter wouldn’t stop talking on our way home about how happy she was and how kind Ann was to her. Thank you Ann!

I brought my 8yo daughter in to have her ears pierced for her birthday. Ann was great! She took the time to explain to my daughter exactly what was going to happen and ensured that my daughter was fully comfortable with the process before even beginning. She reviewed the aftercare process and showed my daughter how to do it on her own so she can clean them while at school.My daughter’s ears look great. She’s had very little soreness and absolutely no redness or irritation. I’m so glad I chose Dark Water Tattoo and Ann to pierce my daughter’s ears and 100% recommend her.

I took my two girls, ages 9 and 10, to get their ears pierced today. I absolutely canNOT recommend this place enough! Staff were welcoming and kind, but also very diligent in making sure my girls understood what was going on. My girls understood every step, and who had final say in all aspects. We are so very happy with the entire experience! I look forward to returning to the shop in the future!

Listen I’ve been to a few tattoo places and from the time I walked in the door at Dark water I was treated with respect, the staff is so friendly they made me feel very comfortable. The tattoo artist Ann has a heart of gold and is extremely talented, she finished my tattoo so fast and with ease that I forgot to fall asleep. The shop is so nice and clean with a beautiful aroma, I had to catch myself because it almost made me feel like I was at the spa. I have definitely found my forever tattoo place

I brought my daughters to get their ears pierced this afternoon and cannot say enough great things about Dark Water Tattoo. They made us feel welcome right off the bat and were wonderful about calming any nervousness the girls had. The facility was clean and the procedure was done in a hygenic manner. I would recommend to anyone.

Got my septum pierced 6 months ago and now its 100% fully healed. Not crooked, no bumps, and it compliments my face :) The piercer was very confident and had a great sense of humor. She makes sure you know what you’re signing up for in terms of aftercare and is very knowledgeable. Great place ✌️

Ann did a wonderful job piercing my ears. Everything was very clean and the earrings were sterile. She did a great job explaining how she was going to pierce my ears and the after care required. This was my third ear piercing and it was the least painful.I highly recommend this shop for ear piercing. Ann is excellent

Review №42

I’ve gotten 2 piercings from this place in the past couple of months, the piercer there, Ann, is very thorough and professional with how she handles the tools and jewelry. It is very sterile, and a great place to get generally painless piercings. They use a needle instead of a gun, which I’ve noticed to be less painless. The price is on the higher side but it’s worth the money! I will definitely be coming here again for my next piercing!

Review №45

I only had my earlobe pierced here since I had made the mistake of getting both earlobes done years ago at a Walmart jewelry counter. Those cheap places are a bad idea since my left earlobe was pierced crooked, which is why I went to Darkwater to have it re-done properly. Yes it was probably significantly more than those cheap places but the customer service, professionalism and expertise was worth paying more for. I wish I had gotten both ears done at Darkwater years ago. The piercer was highly skilled and I had no trouble trusting her expertise. I sincerely appreciated her patience and her educating me on the aftercare and the piercing procedure. They even deep cleaned my antique diamond stud earring for free while I was there!Dont cheap out even if its just for a seemingly simple earlobe piercing! Go to a professional like the lady at Darkwater! (Sorry I forgot the piercers name.)Those cheap places have the employees watch a 15 minute video on how to pierce and thats it!

This is probably the cleanest shop Ive ever been in. The desk person was very nice and the owner Ann is such a nice lady. I arrived without an appointment shortly before closing to get new ear jewelry. I called and she let me come in and put the new hoops in for me. I was thankful for her help as one of the holes was closing up. I highly recommend Ann for your piercing needs.

I had been looking for a while for a professional piercer to pierce my 9-year old’s ears. Ann/Darkwater did a fantastic job - Ann took time to talk with my daughter to make sure she understood the entire process (including after care). Ann made sure my daughter was completely comfortable with getting her ears pierced. Most importantly, my daughter loves her newly pierced ears.

After an extensive amount of searching for the right tattoo shop for my first tattoo, I eventually decided on Darkwater Tattoo and I am so glad that I did. The shop is really clean and all the artists are very good. I decided on scheduling my appointment with Ann Palmer and I am just so happy that I did. She did a rose floral tattoo design on the inside of my forearm and completely made me feel at ease. She explained everything thoroughly and let me know to ask as many questions as I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with! Thanks again Ann!

Review №54

Although I didn’t get any work done here (not yet, at least) - I did visit this shop yesterday and spoke with Ann about a piece I wanted to get done. My 5 star review is based purely off of my initial interaction with her. Ann was helpful, upfront, and handed me her honest opinion about what I wanted. I have some pieces done on my body but I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a tattoo artists bold honest opinion. I truly respect you and your establishment for that! I will most definitely be back to work on a piece that makes sense and that will last a lifetime. Thank you again!

Review №59

AMAZING experience.First, my friend and I came here back in April and she got a couple of tattoos done. It was late so I was unable to get anything but hers came out phenomenal.Back in April I had gone to a different shop to get a few ear piercings. They had since gotten swollen and I’m not sure if infected or an allergic reaction to the metal (which I have never had an allergic reaction before with my previous jewelry’s so I doubt it was that...)Anyway, today I decided to take the earrings out but I couldn’t get one of them out because the infection or whatever had swollen up so much... I decided to go to Darkwater since the original shop did not really help me when I went there about a week and a half ago.The piercer at this shop was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful for her. Although it was painful, she was able to remove the jewelry and give me some tips on cleaning to hopefully reduce the swelling as well as clear up the issue. Unfortunately, if it doesn’t clear up by tomorrow I will have to go to the doctor but I am so thankful that she took the time to assist me with my issue. Especially since it was hers or her shops issue to begin with.Thank you so much again!!

Great place! Went in to get my ear lobes pierced since I hadn’t had earrings in for about 10+ years. The owner, Ann, was honest with me and said my holes would probably open back up easily, and I wouldn’t have to pay for the piercing. They did end up opening and she only charged me for the jewelry. Very friendly and SUPER clean. You can tell they care a lot about hygiene. Everything was cleaned and sterile and there was not a thing that looked out of place. Highly recommend! 10/10.

I will tell you right now, there arent enough words to express how much I love and adore Ann and her crew. Only once in my life have I ever walked into a piercing/tattoo shop and felt like the people who took care of me actually cared about me or loved their job. I would walk out the second I felt someone with those vibes. Ann, my God, such a beautiful woman, with talented hands, its no wonder she is so trusted with our bodies, and she succeeds in creating our vision of art on them. Her tattoos are created with the utmost love and care. Thank you so much for everything you do, the things you will do and create in the future, and the forever mark you leave in our hearts and on our bodies!

I got a daith piercing and my friend got a regular lobe piercing when we went our first time and they were wonderful.

Saw these awesome reviews and recommended my husband go in and ask for pricing. Trying to figure out why they would charge $500 for a name tattoo that has 7 letters. I’ve had tattoos done with more detailing and I’ve paid less. Doesn’t make sense. They lost a very good customer.

It’s amazing that anyone would go to a shop that shows that the work is mediocre at best.
