I took my granddaughter to get her brow & lip pierced. Pleasant experience, the shop was clean.The piercer was really nice. The price was good, two piercings for $30. If you take a minor make sure you have your ID & something that you can show that you have the authority to allow the minor to get whatever they are getting done. (Birth certificate, guardian ship papers etc,)I would go there again. I think that its worth it. This time Im going to get the piercings !!!
I’ve all all my piercings from here and I love them! Great customer service. They make you feel very comfortable. Would definitely refer friends and family
I’ve gotten several piercings here before and one ended up super crooked after the jewelry was placed (markers were even). Regardless, I just got 2 more piercings recently and I’m not coming back here again. There was an unnecessary wait when there was me and one other person in there and when it’s my time to go, she rushes through it and barely took time to thoroughly check what she needed. Only used ONE NEEDLE, big ass no no in the piercing industry, not to mention using massive L bars that can yank out instead of using a screw like you should usually. Y’all have gone downhill.
Amazing experience for my first time being pierced! Love the atmosphere clean and friendly and can’t beat those deals they got. Highly recommend ink villains
Omg where to start. I first seen them posting in 2020 on instagram. Seen they had 2 for $20 piercings and was interested to go and get a couple. My first visit was in 2020. I got my nose and lip pierced. They were so nice and it was clean and smelled really good. The person doing my piercings made me feel comfortable even tho I was nervous. I loved the experience and piercings so much I came back 3 more times including my lip nose and belly button. My nips too lol. Overall love the experience and thinking about getting more piercings and I will most definitely going back. Anytime someone asks about piercings I suggest they go to ink villains. The best and they are fast. 10/10
Great Place! I been coming here to get my tattoos and piercings & I love it ! Customer Service & environment is great. Definitely recommend coming here, Great Prices !
Amazing place! i’ve gone here for a lot of my piercings i love their deals, atmosphere and cool people! always a clean and wonderful experience when i go ! i highly recommend ink villains !
This is my 2nd time at this location, but 3rd time visiting ink villains all together. Each time they’ve been amazing. This time around was no different than the first two. I had a different piercer this time than the first two times, but she was just as amazing. Definitely will not be going to any other shop for my needs.
Was visiting from Georgia stopped in… service was very welcoming and top notch friendly. I received two piercing for $20.00 which was a big wow also a tattoo by Lu. He was simply the best. Yall really represented Tampa very well. I will definitely be back.
If your looking to get a piercing go check my girl Victoria out.. she light with her hands and good with her piercings. Go check her out you won’t be disappointed. She’s definitely a vibe.
Very friendly staff, love them!!!! Ive got 4 piercings there and they are so amazing and get it done fast. And the deals they offer are the beat in the state hands down
Love this place. The workers are very friendly and welcoming and help make the experience better. I’ve been coming here for about 4 years now for piercings and this is the only place I trust to do my piercings. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. 10/10 recommend.
I would not get pierced here. Me and my friends went for the two for 20 deal and it resulted in my one friend having to get both piercings removed at a different place and with me having to get one removed. I got my rook done and it immediately flared up and would not heal even though I had cleaning it frequently and doing everything right. The place I went to in order to get it removed told me that it was extremely crooked and not done right. They also used the completely wrong jewelry on my friend’s tragus piercing. I have so many piercings and never have had problems so it’s sad that I spent money on a piercing I can’t even keep. My helix seems fine but I’m still a little worried considering there’s a curved bar bell in it which is the incorrect jewelry. Overall very unprofessional.
Amazing experience. Everyone is super nice! It’s been my tattoo and piercing place for years now.
I have been going to this location for over a year , all my piercings have healed perfectly. I have gotten over 4 piercings including an industrial and anytime I get a new piercing I come back here. The staff is very friendly and the process is quick and easy. 10/10 recommend.
Do not get pierced at this shop. Not only do they reuse needles, aswell as use cheap externally threaded jewelry, curved barbells for surface piercings… and a lot others that should just be pierced with a regular straight bar. The piercing industry has changed so much over time so their really is no excuse for them to be using outdated practices to this day that have caused a lot of irritation and rejection as can be seen in other 1 star reviews of this shop. The customer service is also extremely unprofessional, telling clients who leave one star reviews of their piercings rejecting that they should have spoke up sooner instead of waiting so long, it’s almost as if they don’t know that not all poorly done piercings reject in the span of a week and overtime their piercing could look fine then finally reject. Overall they shouldn’t be reusing needles to do multiple piercings as others have stated, aswell as they have posted on their own instagram proof of them reusing needles on industrials aswell, these needles are single use and after the first use shouldn’t be used for the second incision due to the needle being duller. Not exactly sure why they also love to use curved barbells so much, curved barbells on lobes, on surface piercings and on upper ear piercings. Any educated piercer knows that surface should be done with surface bars and lobes should be done with straight. If you do not have the money to spend $60+ to get it professionally pierced, do not get it pierced for $20 at this shop, you really do pay for what you get. Listen to the other negative reviews and check out other shops in the area.
Got Both of my tattoos here and loved them both the people there are very nice and welcoming great place for tattoos and Piercings 🙂💯
I went to for a 2 for $20 deal and got my nosed done. I got a piercing in each nostril, the line was long but the wait wasn’t that bad which was a plus because it was hot outside . I had went with a friend and at first I was nervous I had a lady piecer and she convinced me it wasn’t going hurt as bad as I thought. She swooped the first one in and before I knew the second one was done. They were very unique shop set up was artistic and they had a lot of different options for the jewelry. The 2 for $20 deal was a steal and the atmosphere was a vibe
Everyone here is nice and they are good at what they do, making the experience great. It’s very clean, the workers are friendly, and they work pretty quick so we didn’t have to wait long either!
I leave this comment for all the people who have spoken badly about this place and for people like me who are guided by the comments of the places, for fear that they will do something wrong and things like that, this place is spectacular, they serve you very well It is very clean and the music is very good, in the sense of piercings the offer of 2 for 20 is very good, everything is sterilized and everything is very professional, I got 2 piercings for 20 and it has been 1 week and a few days and I already know They are healing, the important thing is to have good hygiene, if not, it becomes infested and it is very easy to blame others for what one does not take care of oneself.
Worst experience I’ve ever had. Very unorganized and I got 2 conches today and they are uneven and he never asked if I was okay with the placement. Immediately took piercings out that’s how much I hated them.
Best Place i got all of my piercings at! Will always come back!
Havent had a tattoo in over 11 years! I came to Ink Villains and met a young lady by the name of Savanna Morgan. Her work was incredible! The establishment was extremely clean and my tattoo was so good I came back the next day and got another from her! Highly recommended!
Absolutely love the piercings!! belly button and cartilage piercing 2 for $20 say lessss ima be back here to get me my first tattoo too cant wait for tht
The best Tattoo and Piercing place in Tampa they are really professional and Diligent with their work you will not be disappointed.
I go here for allll of my piercings absolutely love em
Great Customer service!! And great deals that they have promoted. Nice shop and great piercings!!!
Will never come back to this place again. My tattoo looks like a childs drawing. The owner Was very rude and high when I complained about this. Told me to get the next one somewhere else. Believe me I will !
Went for a spur of a moment tattoo and Lu did an amazing job. He’s currently drawing out the tattoo I’ve been wanting for a while and I’ll be back for that later in the week. I also got my nipples pierced a few weeks back from here and they’re healing very well! The girl who did them did an amazing job. Service here has been great, looking forward to many more visits. Wish I found them sooner.
I highly recommend them, it was quick loved the results and will always go there for my piercings
I went with my sister when she got her septum and nose piercing. It looks so good and there hasn’t been any issues. The staff were very nice and it also wasn’t that long of a wait. I also loved the way the building is decorated!
Went for the 2 for $20 piercings, my tongue piercing was crooked and the piercer didn’t mark it or use a clamp. My cartilage came out ok thankfully so it wasn’t a full waste of money. The piercer was super nice and had great vibes but i will Definitely will be sticking with my usual piercer going forward instead of this shop. You get what you pay for.
If you don’t come here for your piercings what are you doing?? 2 for $20 is the best deal I’ve ever seen. I’ve been here twice and I always tell people get come here for their piercings. Plus Their very patient!!!!
DO NOT GET PIERCED HEREthey’re not educated professionalsthey’re using improper jewelry for piercingsgo to actual professionalsGOOD SERVICES ARENT CHEAP
Love this tattoo shop. Very friendly and organized. Very fast gets you and in and out. Got the snake eyes done here and loved them unfortunately the piercing fell out and never got the chance to go back and get it re done so now I Want to go back and get it done again.
Amazing service! I got 3 piercings there, and the place was clean, all the staff extremely professional. And awesome prices!Definitely coming back again
I went on the 2nd of feb to get my snake eyes and belly button piercing and it was the smoothest piercing I’ve ever had. I liked the experience and would definitely recommend my friends to come get theirs done there. It was a clean and friendly environment and I felt like I could trust them, thank you❤️ (ps this isn’t my gmail, it’s my mothers because mines wouldn’t let me type anything lol)
I love this tattoo shop I always get all of my tats and piercings done here
Love this place, any time I go the vibes are immaculate great artists. Fast piercings, never had and issues while getting them or during the healing process. (Tongue, Smiley, Ear)
I have been going here for about a year now, and i never had a problem until recently! i got a tragus piercing, and was pierced with the wrong jewelry :( had to go get it changed prematurely at another shop because it just wasn’t healing correctly with the incorrect jewelry. edit: tragus pierced with a barbell… not wrong metal, wrong style of jewelry.
Wifeyduh (Nani) is the best! She is gentle but swift. Minimal pain and the sweetest. The only one I go to!
The Artist B did my tattoo and when I tell you she did that thang … she really made that Angel come to life. Great atmosphere, work area very clean and she sanitized everything elated with the work she did.
I went with my auntie nd I loved the nd I’m goin there !!!!! Nd I can’t wait to go
First place I visited for a tattoo that the artist doesnt guarantee on the quality of the tattoo. You will have to pay again or tip for getting your tattoo redone or corrected...
I got a tat and a few piercings here. They are super welcoming and always have great deals going on!! Definitely refer them all the time
I participated in the 2 for $20 deal on december 14th, and my belly piercing randomly fell out 12 days later. Another professional tattoo shop informed me that the piercer placed my piercing was too high and the jewelry was too small. I am highly disappointed and i will not recommend this place. You get what u pay for!- I did not inform the piercer of this whatsoever in intentions of never coming back here.
My experience at this shop was super positive. It was clean, everyone was super friendly and easy to get along with and made me feel comfortable. Steve Mcallister did my tattoo and he was so nice and patient and worked with me on my design. I left very happy with my tattoo.
I recommend this place to everyone, if you’re looking for great service, chill atmosphere and 2/$20 piercings.. this is your go to place. 3 of my 4 piercings on both ears are pierced from this place, they never fail ✌🏼
I went here on a Wednesday evening spontaneously & left more than satisfied! Lynni did both my nipple piercings & the opposite side of my nose & I love them! I should also add I have ZERO pain with my piercings only a couple days after getting them. I’ve been keeping them clean & absolutely love how they’ve turned out. It was my third time having my nipples done & she did them perfectly straight & made the process very quick. She also lined this new nose piercing up with my other nose piercing on the opposing side. The service was great, everything was quick, clean & affordable! I would 1000/10 recommend this business for sure! Thank you 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Veronica was awesome, kind, and patient with us. Would definitely come again!!
I have gotten multiple piercings at inkvillans throughout the years and have never had a bad experience, they make sure I’m comfortable and even tell me before they pull out the needle so I can close my eyes (I’m weird) but they have never once made me feel nervous all my piercings have held up for years and are done with perfection ! Inkvillans is the only shop I recommend for tattoos and piercings
Clean environment, very king employees :3. fast and easy service. piercer walked me through the process before she pierced me AND while she pierced me. very happy with my experience, my new permanent piercing shop !!
I went in on 7/20/23 a little after 1pm to get a double piercing on the other side of my nose to match the ones I got a few weeks earlier the young lady who helped me this time was amazing I wish I would have asked for her name she had purple hair anyways she did a great job her customer service was excellent she made me feel so comfortable she took her time I didn’t feel rushed at all she was great I’ve been to the shop a few different times in the past year and it’s always clean I always get greeted right away. Keep up the good work ink villains and thank you to the young lady who did my piercing 🙏🏻
Got my eyebrow pierced. Was only $20 and they were very friendly and professional! My wife got her tongue pierced too and she loves it!
Best place I’ve gotten all my piercings from here and had nooo issues. I’ll be back to get this tattoo finished soon ik someone can hook it up.
EXTREMELY sanitary environment! The workers make u feel extremely comfortable for any service your gonna be receiving! TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS NEEDED! there the place to go! The owner mike is one of the best! Ive known him for a few years now and he continues to impress me with every updates he dose to his shops and continues to grow! 10/10 definitely recommend his tattoo artist as well! Supper nice environment! And CLEAN!
Great work and very neat and clean. I alw at a get my peircing from them and have plenty of friends that went for tats and peircing and they also loved it . I recommend them and very good prices and affordable.
I had a half sleeve done by Mike years ago and loved it, it needed major touch up after fading over the years and he did an amazing job fixing it up and making my sleeve come back to life again. Definitely recommend
I’ve been here for 1 tattoo and 2 piercings! Each process was easy, quick and clean! Their prices are by far the best I have seen in the Tampa area. Especially considering the quality of work being done.
The guy who tattooed me was great. He was personable and designed my tattoos with me. Everything here is cash ONLY. They have an ATM here, but the fee is $4.50, I suggest getting cash it before you come here.
Promised kids a piercing for xmas they both want ears did well I come in on Friday evening speak with the check in last informed her I wanted get two minors pierced an was told it will be $30 an additional charge of $10 for notary for the minor children nowhere inside shop is this lisited or printed as parent on budget I assume it was $40 for 2 but oh well
I went to go get my belly piercing and it was so welcoming. Everyone made it a very comfortable space. 10/10 highly recommended.
Pierced my conch with a wrong jewelry and not it’s not healing. Amazing! Thanks.
Veronica was amazing! She was able to pierce my nostrils exactly where they were before and did an amazing job with my septum piercing. She didnt rush and checked in with me each step of the way before moving to the next step. 10/10 amazing
I went yesterday to get three dermal.piercings done the experience itself was fine. But I went home and took off the bandaid to clean them (as instructed) and one just came out. The second one is lifted and this is not even 24 hours after. Im assuming they were not put in deep enough. I would like the owner to please contact me for a refund as it is something I cant just go back and get redone. It has to heal before I can do anything. Ive never had any problems previously and have been there multiple times for other piercings this is the first problem I am having. Management please reach out. Thanks so much.
I have gotten all my piercings here with ink villains and they have turned out great. Healed very well. Definitely recommend
Lala was amazing and so patient. I was shaking like a leaf in the wind. She helped me with my breathing and was so very understanding. Her technique was precise and ultra quick. I will be going back to her in the future. Thank you for my new snake bites, Lala!!!!
I went and got a tattoo yesterday and it was by the one and only Mike hustle him self! I was star struck thinking I’d met some celebrity! I’ve been following him for years and have always wanted a tattoo from him and yesterday my dream came true. He gave me a tattoo that is very near and dear to my heart and it looks absolutely amazing! Thank you for helping me (permanently) make that image come to life !
Two different ladies did my piercings they both were so nice and friendly wasn’t a long wait in and out even took my mom to get her ears pierced she was down from Georgia visiting,definitely recommend this shop me and my husband plan to get tattooed next.
I’ve came here several occasions to get piercings I love there 2 for $20 deal very reasonable prices and great customer service. :)
I went there a couple weeks ago for a simple nose piercing. Unfortunately they gave me a stud, it fell out and the back closed. My nose swelled too much to be able to use a stud. I went back after thanksgiving and they fixed piercing at no cost. I also ended up buying a new ring for when piercing heals. Great service and extremely accommodating. First experience for a professional piercing and it was great. Will come back for tattoos soon!
Love this shop! Only place I’ll get my piercings from, my nose and ears were painless and they handle with care too✨
In the process of getting full sleeves done. Amazing design ideas, awesome environment, friendly attitude. Mike really is a tattoo king in all of Tampa.
I got my eyebrow piercing from this place and it wasnt much pain. I recommend getting piercings here they are probably the best place ive went to to go get my piercings done
My momma got her lip pierced and I got my first tattoo, experience was great, loved the energy. Gotta give all the love to my artist he did an amazing job, mike. All staff has good energy and are professional. For my momma piercing, it didn’t take long it was very quick. 5 star, even the tattoo was pretty quick. Def worth my time and money. Can’t wait to come back n get sum more work done!
Got 6 piercings at once in the late summer. It’s been almost 6 months and my piercings give me no problems. They all healed beautifully! Definitely will be going again :)
I went to do the 2 for 20 I guess that where I should have known it wasnt the right thing to do. But unfortunately I still did. They use the wrong type of bars for a nose ring if its a new Piercing im pretty sure an L shaped bar isnt the best for a fresh new piercing Ive had so many problems with it getting hooked on things about to fall out . And now it completely fell out and cause its new I couldnt put back in. Just for further reference I would use the cork screw bars to where itll actually stay. This place just wants a quick buck and to get you out of there. Kinda unprofessional in my eyes.
Best deals in town , I been going to him for years . And will recommend him to anybody and everybody.
I’ve been coming to Ink Villains for years, both locations and have never had a problem with my piercings. Have had 20-30 done and they do an exceptional job each time. Would highly recommend them for your tattoo and piercing needs!
I’m not one to leave reviews, but the horror I was told by the lady that works the front, I will never step foot in there again. I developed an irritation bump and I called to see if the jewelry is titanium or surgical grade ( I forgot to ask when I got it done) she told me that it’s surgical grade and told me I can just pop the bump and put tea tree oil on the bump.🫠😳 I’m sorry what?! I immediately called another place and told them what I was told to do and the lady almost died! Do not ever put oil or pop an irritation bump! Everyone knows that but apparently this place doesn’t.**in response to Mike’s comment, I bought the H2Ocean spray and I did everything thing I was supposed to, this is not my first piercing! Your lady told me just to go ahead and pop it! Don’t be unprofessional and lie! Admit to your mistake and take care of it! She never once suggested that I should go in. I knew the information she gave me was incorrect hence the reason I went somewhere else!
I tried this place out because of the 2 for $20 ear piercings since I was trying to save money, but I really should’ve just saved my money and went elsewhere. My piercer was very rude and was rushing me and my friends when we got pierced on friday (my upper lobes and helixes, their back dermals).For me, she re-used the same needle for all 4 piercings, causing the last upper left helix to be used with a dull needle and thus being more painful, as well as her sloppy job on angling the piercing correctly. I tried to wait for the pain to fade, but it only got worse for the helix. Because of her poor job, my upper left helix was in immense pain these past 2 days until I got it checked out and later removed today, which was a gore sight simply put. I now have an unsightly hole in my ear that I will have to wait for to heal in the next few weeks, and will likely not be getting another left helix.For my friends getting back dermals, she refused one of them bandages and delayed the other, which is a very unsafe practice. Overall, a very unprofessional and uncomfortable experience. I know I will not be receiving money back due to their waivers, so this is really just a warning for others, please be careful when getting pierced here.
I’ve gotten my nose pierced and tattoos done here and they’re pretty great. They have really amazing deals as well. I definitely recommend this place
When I went July 1st Nani did my nose and 2nd earlobe. She pierced it quick and it didn’t hurt. So I’m definitely coming back for more.
I got my nipples pierced here today and the girl was great but as soon as i came home i noticed that one of my nipple piercings is crooked, the one is perfectly placed but the other is crooked below my nipple, not even where my nipple is. so now i will probably have to take it out, let it heal and have to pay to get it redone elsewhere. so i’m a little disappointed to have to do that but the one is great so.
Got piercings here on their Black Friday Deal and was was so happy with the results! She pierced very quickly but with great precision. Would definitely go back for more piercings.
Ink Villains tattoo is one of the best tattoo and piercing shops I have ever been to the owner Mike is very nice and funny he gets along with his clientele That treats him good I’ve been going to ink villains for four years now and I’m going back today to get a tattoo can’t wait
They were da best I loved the piercings and jewelry aye Dey tatts be 🔥2 go get at dem
I’ve visited ink villains a few times for piercings & another time I went with a friend to get a tattoo. They are extremely professional. The vibe is like no other tattoo shop in Tampa 💯. I had no issues with my piercings that I got from them. They are clean and provide a welcoming experience. The prices are definitely reasonable and the best in town. I highly recommend visiting either shop they have if you want quality work done!
Bestie and I came in for some piercings, she got her nose pierced and I got my daith and my other side of my nose. Clean place, good vibes, process was quick and easy and the lady was very friendly, sweet and caring. Cant beat the 2 for 20 piercings either. We are very happy with results :)
I just got 4 body piercings done hereThey are experts in what they do
I get all my piercings here well worth the hour and a half drive, love me a 2 for 20$ piercing. Do super well and amazing prices!
Great place, I’ve gotten 3 tattoos from Al Medina so far and can’t wait to get more! Also have gotten my nose and cartilage pierced and had the easiest healing process. Such a welcoming tattoo shop, great atmosphere and very professional. Highly recommend.
10/10 went by fast and easy and they lady who did both my piercings was nice
Great tattoo shop. Very clean. Staff is professional, knowledgeable and kind. I get all my piercing here. Never experienced any trouble or complications with any piercing. Can’t beat the prices.
I had a very great experience! The staff was very friendly, they provided services professionally and quickly, they honored their promotion like they said they would, and my piercings were extra cute! Don’t even think about it, just go get the piercing !!
Went for a belly button piercing but ended up getting my actual stomach pierced instead of the naval. Rejected really bad and ended up having to take it out leaving a nasty scar. Beware of this place know you are taking a risk for the price.
My piercings were quick an pain free they guy evening held my hands I was so nervous
The piercer was amazing! My piercings healed well and I love them !
Got my nipples pierced twice, the 2 for 20 is a real thing, they are super clean, everyone is relaxed and chill... Only drawback is that the weight can be a little long but when you have decently priced services and good artists its expected
I had my belly button and nose pierced by them and it was an outstanding job. You can’t beat the 2 for $20 deal they offer and the piercings healed beautifully. Very much would recommend!
I’ve been seeing Mike for my tattoos for 10+ years now!! My tattoos still look so fresh and new and I continue to get compliments daily! I recommend Mike and his shop to anyone wanting a tattoo that stands out and stays fresh! Clean, friendly fun shop! I trust Mike to design and do him when it comes to my tattoos and they all look super dope! I wouldn’t go to any other place!!! I trust anyone of his artists to tattoo me!
I love InkVillians I got both my nose piercings there!! I took my older cousin to get hers and it was epic 😂
If you’re looking for somewhere to get a great tattoo or piercing this is the place to be!! Great prices and great people, + the outcome is always great! You won’t regret going to ink villans!
My first time getting an additional ear piercing and I loved it! It was quick, no pain( for me personally lol) and I got all the aftercare information I needed before leaving! 10/10 all around
I came to this location to get my industrial and nose piercing and I highly recommend!
The lady that pierced me was super nice she pierced me extremely quickly it was clean probably the best piercer I’ve seen 10/10 recommended it didn’t hurt much just get it if u want it!
I got my tongue pierced and my lip and the lady was good she did really good on me and was checking one me
Ive had about 12 different piercings done here, and two tattoos. It’s the only place I trust! I highly recommend the to everyone who’s looking for a tat shop! Top tier service!
The staff is great! I got my first helix piercing and ever since then I have been going back! Definitely the place to go if you are looking to get any kind of piercing.
I love this place its very clean and the artists are knowledgeable and very informative. The piercer makes you feel comfortable by explaining step by step of what theyre going to do and also the aftercare of what you need to do. Great place with excellent deals to get your piercings. Especially on Thursday 2 for $20
I have got a couple piercings here recently and they are quick and painless! Absolutely love the staff and recommend them to everyone I know.
Ive been to Ink Villians a few times already, and Im planning to go there even more!! They have done all my piercings so far, and Im proud to say that I cant wait for them to do my future tattoos and more piercings. Im obsessed! Thank you to the staff who have made my experiences quick, easy, and (mostly) painless. You guys all rock ♡👍🏼
We gotta fix this shops work everyday because they refuse to do quality work. They use the worst jewlery I have ever seen and use curved barbells in every single piercing. This is a common technique for low quality piercers to save a few bucks at the expense of thr client struggling to heal their piercing if they ever do end up healing it . Check their Instagram and you’ll see countless of proffesional piercers commenting on their horrible practices. Is a 10$ piercing worth medical bills to treat an infection ? Or is it worth lifelong scarring ? Or is it worth struggling to heal a piercing for the next year ?
I’ve known this shop since they were in a little corner inside of a flea market! Mikes always been the best hands down! I’ve gotten all of my piercings from him! Never have I had an issue with any of them! The best piercer/ tattoo artist in Tampa.
Love the atmosphere and great artists/ prices!!! Will def be coming back
I went to this location to get piercings & the piercer wasn’t very professional or welcoming at all. ( Skinny women with a strong accent who wears glasses)There were no marks placed on the spots I was having pierced so I initially couldn’t tell her if I liked the placement or not so I had to tell her if the placement is good after she has already stuck the needle and the jewelry through my body & I am in pain from getting it pierced.My septum was pierced incorrectly & although this can be a tough piercing for some people it is completely possible. It wasn’t until I had to flip it up and hide it for work that I realized it was pierced too low after realizing it was pierced incorrectly I had to take out .I got & payed for 4 piercings on June 18th 2022 & it is now June 21st 2022 & only have 1 today due to the placement of piercings being incorrect & the balls not staying connected. After calling the shop to figure out if I could get any of them fixed I was told I would have to pay full price because it’s my fault even though it’s the piercer job to make sure the job is done efficiently.The fact the I traveled hours to go to this specific shop & had to travel hours back and it all basically be for no reason is completely heartbreaking. Getting pierced with Ink Villain Tattoos definitely wasn’t a good experience & honestly just unprofessional.
Got a double helix it came out really good, and the piercer was really nice.
Went with my friend to get a piercing and they were quick but safe. super friendly. my new favorite piercing spot!
I love this place, I come here for all my piercings !!! The staff are super friendly and cool ! I highly recommend ink villains for anyone who loves piercings just as much as I do !!!!
I usually don’t write reviews but this place definitely deserves it! A friend and I stopped in on lunch break on Friday after being told about their 2 for 20 deal on piercings. She got her nipples pierced and I got my tongue and nose pierced. I believe the guys name who did it was Jersey, and he was amazing! He made us both very comfortable and was very quick and professional! The shop is clean, and the people are great! I look forward to getting more work done with this shop, and will certainly be recommending them to all of my friends and family!
I love a business that’s takes pride and has passion in what they do! Art work on the body is such a deep exchange between artists and canvas 🫶🏽
Hands down the best tattoo shop! Has great customer service, great people all around! I got my sons names tattooed on my forearm by Mike, and I absolutely love it, he truly cares about his clients and his tattoos definitely don’t disappoint!! I will continue to go to Mike to do all of my work from here on out! 100000/10 recommend!
Angel do a great job he did mines and my best friend tattoo for our birthday best friend tattoo love the experience!!!!!
I’ve gotten two piercings from this location. my first piercing was the nose ring and a heavier set lady with a lot of piercings on her face and ears did a good job. The second piercing I got was the tragus - done Buy a slim lady with piercings and she did the whole piercing wrong. it’s been a year now and I had to take it out because it’s never healed properly no matter what i do to help it. I have a piercing so they’re not new to me. Once I went back a second time so I could get better quality jewelry I asked her what I should do about the keloid and she told me to pop it ! I’m keloid prone and you should never pop keloid. they also tell you to use peroxide and alcohol to clean your piercings do not do that your piercing will not heal properly !
I always come here for my piercings great deals every day! So quick and efficient never had a bad experience. Highly recommend!
Al Medina did such an amazing job very professional but was a good time! He smashed every single tattoo he did. We were here on vacation and he got us in for 3 tattoos. When I come back I will be booking again for sure. We appreciate your time !!!
I loved the customer service of the guy in the front with the Santa shirt. The prices are great if your on a budget. & The girl that pierced my lip & nose was smooth as can be. Thank u guys. Ill be back for more. 😏
Every time I get a piercing or a tattoo it’s an awesome experience! Everyone is professional and friendly. They answer any question you have and the piercings are quick and easy. I drive all the way from Lakeland (like 45 mins) just to go to Ink Villains because they are the best! Prices are great and it’s a whole vibe just being there! I recommend them to all my friends and to anyone reading this.
I was just here this past Saturday and got the 2 for $20 piercings. I got my conch and my tongue pierced. The efficiency in which she did it was amazing and it was over in no time, so that was good. However, I do believe she pierced my tongue with too short of a bar to accommodate for swelling, so now Im having to go to another shop to see if they can help in anyway. Other than that, I love my other piercing and have nothing negative to say about it!
Theyre quick & easy ! I’ve gotten all my piercings from them and everybody is very professional & friendly. I only trust ink villains to pierce me !
I got my nose pierced here and the experience was great here. It was very chill environment and a very painless one also. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting there piecing done professionally at a low price. I only paid $20 for my nose piercing and it was well worth it.
I have got most of all my piercings there and when I tell you it’s quick and the pain is honestly 3/10 they do it quick you don’t even feel nun and they have amazing deals especially on there piercings!
Got my tongue pierced here about a year and a half ago, awesome people, great quality piercings and piercers, great vibe in the shop. AMAZING prices. Would recommend 1000000000 times over any shop. They do great quality work. If I could give more stars I would!!
Staff is nice but I wouldn’t recommend for nipple piercings. Had to get mine removed 4 days after because they were uneven and was pierced past my actual nipple and into my areola. When I took them out you can see the hole all the way past my nipple. Very disappointed but I guess that’s what I get for $40 piercings.
Really nice people , and really good deals clean place i would recommend 100 percent coming here i went there for my tongue and belly button the lady that did my piercing was nice and insured me that it wouldnt hurt and she was very fast
I was scared when I went to get my piercings but the girl that did mine made it little to no pain. I havent had any issues with them other than my swelling. Other that that I give them 10/10 for ding better than any other place Ive heard of.*UPDATE*After having my piercings for only a few weeks my ear got infected and my tongue started to heal closed around the balls of the jewelry. Make sure you get the right information for cleaning and treating because they didnt give me any of the right information.
I love this place so much I’ve gotten eight piercings done here and I plan on definitely getting more there quick clean and so nice will be coming back very very soon!!! And bringing more customers with me as well !
I just got my septum pierced from here and it was amazing. Its my first piercing and I was scared but the lady who did it for me made it quick so I didnt think of it too much. I just have one question. What size are the piercing jewelry? I wanna order some for when it heals.
I actually have no problem with the customer service. Everyone seems really nice. My 3 daughters and myself have gotten piercings before. Unfortunately, the 2 nose piercings I had almost a year ago, kept rejecting the stud. It did the same with my oldest daughter (I found out afterwards from a friend who experienced the same thing). I had given up, but decided to try again. Two days ago myself and 2 of my daughters came in for nose piercings (My oldest daughter is too scared to try again). Unfortunately, all 3 of us have the same problem, it seems like the stud did not go all the way through. It was too short. I am dreading the pain to get it all the way through being that it hurts from just a slight touch. I really don’t like giving bad reviews, but I hope we can get this resolved soon.
Went there last Friday and got my snake eyes and it’s about to be Thursday and I’ve been able to eat anything and everything without any pain ! Also my belly button piercing! Perfect!!!!! Will be going back this Friday for 2 more !
I had very good experience from the first day I came to the shop two weeks ago unfortunately we weren’t able to start my leg piece but I was still able to get a small tattoo that came out way better than the picture I had showed. Migo, who was my artist, along with Marcos, were able to work with me in scheduling my appointment to begin my leg sleeve. I gave my ideas to Migo, but wasn’t so sure how exactly I wanted it. And when I came back two weeks later he had showed me what he came up with and it was perfect. We had a 6 hour session and he was very detail-oriented with everything that was going on to the piece even down the the smallest details. Everyone at the shop was very professional and made me feel very comfortable to be there. Also, the prices they have are amazing. I would highly recommend this tattoo shop. I have seen the work from each artist there and they all have amazing work. Also, my fiancé has gotten most of her piercings from the shop and none of here piercings were ever infected. And she has gotten about 8-10 piercings from them. It’s all about how you take care of it after you leave the shop. Overall they are amazing and make you feel very comfortable to be there.
If you’re looking for a spot with reasonable pricing and GREAT service, comer hereeeeee. The people are great, good vibes and all. I’ve been actually trying to make my way back in to get a piercing 😭 I had a great experience the first time. I had chose to get two piercings at once & I hadn’t ate that morning and what was that for. I got all hot and sweaty , was ready to pass out lol. Idk what happened to me but between the owner Mike & his mom they were quick to take care of me. They got very concerned and They had got me some soda and a lil snack and boom I was back to normal 🥲 but I’m really excited to go back !
Mike, the owner, is the bomb.2 piercings for $20 is a crazy cool way to give back to the community. Got my nose pierced here, and it healed up fine thanks to the advice of one of the talented resident piercers.The tattoos are also clean and solid at a great price. I’ve seen nothing but good tattoos from the crew here
I definitely think you guys should let people know if they don’t have the body or enough skin for a piercing instead of just doing it. some customers aren’t knowledgeable and i would’ve appreciated being turned downed and warned about how my belly button would’ve eventually rejected (which was very painful) instead of getting the piercing.
Wow! Talk about fast service! I got 6 piercings in my ears. They were very clean. What did it here is that my tech only used needles. NO GUN!!! I was so nervous but it really didnt hurt, even my tragus was just quick pressure. I wish that Id gotten all of my piercings here.
Very clean and professional! Will definitely return!
Mike did this big tattoo on my thigh and he did a great job the environment was full of positive energy I was so nervous about sitting for a long session but Mike made this a wonderful experience. His wife Leslie booked my appointment in a timely manner very generous people they even fed me good food and dessert. I will definitely be going back!
This was my first visit to Ink Villains Tattoo and for sure it won’t be the last one. Tattoo artist Al Medina was so professional, clean and neat with his job that I felt so comfortable. And I am so satisfied with the result of my tattoo. Again, I am so happy and satisfied with my tattoo!Will I return? Yes!Will I recommended? Yes!Al, thanks so much! I am very happy!See you soon!
Really professional place. Got my nose pierced and they were absolutely clean and didn’t have a problem with remarking so I would love the placement. My cousin also got a tattoo there because I recommended him to go here and I 10/10 recommended this place if your looking for tattoos or piercing.
I went this evening, they have a 2 for $20 special with tip I spent $25 for 2 piercings! One of which was a daith. Id been quoted as high as $65 to do at other places. The receptionist was very friendly and the piercer was so super experienced and quick I hardly even knew it had happened! Thank you so much ladies!
I’ve come 2 different time. I’ve gotten my nipples pierced and my Christina. Absolutely no pain. Healing process was very quick. Never got infected. I have taken both of them out due to personal injury’s... read in between the lines. They didn’t leave any scars healed up nicely.
Only place I got to for piercing and love Lou as a tattoo artist he did my tattoo recently and is so professional
I got the 2 for $20 (helix and nose) it was very quick and no pain at all the lady was very nice and I’ve had no complications since the love all my piercings I get here and I will keep coming back!!
Mike did an amazing job on my side tattoo, mind you this was about 4 years ago and I still get compliments on the tat. He was very patient, professional and made me feel super comfortable. The tattoo was 100% custom and reasonably priced. Recommend his shops 120% good quality affordable work.
I went to get my industrial bar piercing here and the quality of jewelry is just horrible and they are not sanitized at all she didn’t even measure my ear to make sure the industrial bar was the right size and at least had room for swelling I had to go to another shop because I couldn’t take the throbbing pain my ear got so swollen it was twice as big than what it is supposed to be.I have been trying to take care of it as best as I can but the jewelry was just such horrible quality. They also recommend to clean it the worst possible way you can imagine the piercer had no clue on what she is doing and was on her phone the whole time. Very unprofessional!!!!!!
I got the 2 for $20 piercing deal here and got my belly button and daith pierced. I did as instructed and 3 months later it wasn’t healed which isn’t their fault but I went back wondering if I was allergic to the metal and my body was rejecting the metal. I was completely dismissed and my concerns were brushed off by the piercer. I had to go to another piercer elsewhere to get it removed, where she actually looked at it, helped me take it out, and took her time to tell me what to do. Extremely disappointed. I am going to add to this since the company wants to neglect acknowledgment for their error. It is a COMPLETE lie that they offered to change the jewelry when I ASKED them and they told me “no” until the keloids went away which may I add, did not go away until I had the jewelry removed ELSEWHERE because my body rejected it. This is utterly disgusting that there is no acknowledgement and a complete lie is added to dismiss the neglect given by the company. This goes to prove why this place is sketchy and piercers simply just don’t care about you here.
Great place and friendly staff!!! I highly recommend
Recently visited the Ybor location and got a Medusa and Septum piercing the pierce who happened to be a lady was polite and fast. The front office staff is bomb and actually greets you and don’t just stare when you enter the establishment. Overall great service and my piercings are healing great!! Thank you again
Rebecca did my tattoo and was awesome! As for the man at the front desk-he was not friendly and rather rude. The lady who pierced me said nothing about aftercare, it was literally just getting pierced and on your way. Overall my experience there was just ok. The deals weren’t really explained, there’s just 4 circles with 4 prices, yet they give you different prices for things that fit within their circle, again, a bit confusing.
They have you standing outside in 90 degree heat with no shade nor do they hand out waters or anything for HOURS. It doesn’t matter how short or long the line is, expect to wait 2+ hours unless you have a tattoo appointment. They do not offer piercing appointments as they should seeing as though they are not fast and do not care about the heat. If you do pass out, as I did, they leave you outside with no assistance. Thankfully the barbershop next door seem me in trouble and offered help. The piercings I received were good and clean however I overheard the staff talking about how the people they had waiting outside were complaining and they didn’t care and seem irritated with the complaints.
They did a really good job it was fast and cheap but both of my piercings got infected and the bar they used to Pierce it is very long and irritating to my nose so it just pushes in and out my nose all day also was told to clean everyday with alcohol but after a lot of research was told that was a big Nono
The experience was GREAT! It was my first tattoo so my tattooist Angel was really patient and kind to me. For example I was getting the shading to my wrist tattoo when I told him it was hurting he switched needles and went gentle on me. Great Experience! Definitely recommend to everyone to get a tattoo here.
Came here twice before to get piercings. Its a little out the way for me now but I plan on returning. I dont trust any other shop!
Super cool in there, came in for Friday the 13th they had 13$ piercings! I felt welcomed and the piercer was really sweet and gentle! Thanks guys.
Got my industrial piercing here & it was great! super fast & smooth, i was so nervous but it ended up being so much better than i thought!
Mike hooked me up with an amazing sleeve. Amazing work and extremely reasonably priced. Great vibes and super clean. Would recommend him to anyone. Super relatable so it’s fun to be there while you’re getting tattooed and the entire staff cool as hell.
Love coming real professional and respectful got my second piercing here
I went to get my belly button and nose pierced for $20 and it was a very clean and happy environment . After about 2 weeks my belly button got infected I called the shop and they gave me helpful tips to heal it and they worked . The next week As I was cleaning my belly button piercing I dropped my ball down the drain I called the shop once again and they replaced the ball free of charge . The prices are great and so is the service . Definitely going back for more . Highly recommend this shop !
Best Place In Tampa Bay To Get All Your Piercings‼️ REPEAT CUSTOMER FOR LIFE ‼️
Awesome staff and friendly staff, I was nervous about getting my first tattoo but they made me feel comfortable.My artist did an incredible job on my raven feather, @almedinatattoos_tvHe was helpful and considerate with the fact that it was my first tattoo and I wasn’t used to the stinging feeling. We had a great conversation about art.
Did a shorty job on the piercing it’s infecting and rejecting. Didn’t give the right bars and the bars given has nickel and they didn’t want to fix the problem they caused. Avoid this place !!!
The tattoo artist I had was AL, he was professional and very time consuming. He took his work very serious and definitely gave me the tattoo I was looking for, he’s patient with his work and kept a good conversation! The whole shop was a vibe and got my money’s worth💯 Definitely gonna be there again. It was a great first experience!
Went in for 2 for 20 piercings, I got my nipples pierced. My experience was fine but one of the piercings went through my areola instead of the nipple itself. I went back to get it fixed and had to pay $10 I think even though it wasn’t my fault the piercing was misplaced. I’ve since took them out but I do want them back soon.
I was super scared to get my nipples pierced for no reason. They did such a fast job I could barley comprehend the worse was over . They healed properly and I’m super happy with them!!
Absolutely love this team. Best pricing anywhere around. The staff is funny and encouraging if u get nervous. My piercings look amazing. Go see bout them.. you wont be mad!!
Love their work they’ve done all 3 of my tattoos so far and I’ll deff be back for more. They are super affordable and work with you if you have a budget. Al Medina is a great artist I’d recommend having him do it but overall they all do great work
Letty, the piercer, was absolutely amazing! My friends and I both got our nipples done, as well as my belly button and she was so professional and super sweet! They look awesome! Also, one of my friends was feeling faint and she took amazing care of her and helped bring her back! Thank you so much!
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Very professional. my piercings never get infected or have any bumps! quick and painless piercings !
My friend recommended me to this place. I am terrifyed of needles, lemme tell you that. I went to get my nose pierced for the first time and I was so surprised by how painless it was. The employees are awesome as well as the dude who pierced it! Planning to come back and get my ears pierced!
Got my tongue pierced here today it was completely crooked I had to take it out already, also the piercer wasn’t very polite and they had a child in the back room while me and my friend were getting pierced, I wouldn’t suggest going here I’ll never go back 👎
I just got my snake guys done and it fell out 15 mins after leaving! By then, they were already closed and my piercing closed up! :(
Angel is great for tattoos very professional and nice! We have had a great experience with him! We have had MANY piercings done here all was great! Will keep coming back!
I have been a customer of Ink Villains including family members of mine for years. Several family members have gotten tattoo’s here as well as piercings. I myself have gotten piercings here as well. I drove today from Orlando, and I was extremely upset when i visited today and was turned away because i am not the legal parent or guardian of my sister in law because she is not 18. My sister in law is 17 years old. Keep that in mind. The Florida Department of Health legal statutes (which is what court abides by) states that the legal minor age in regards to piercings is 16. Section 381.0075 of the Florida Statutes includes the instructions in reference to piercings with “minors”. The instruction states that by law a minor under the age of 16 has to be accompanied by parent or legal guardian. Meaning ages 17+ Should be good to go. After being told “we operate by the law and me presenting “the law” to the gentlemen whom i initially spoke with. He refused to speak to me and sent a tattoo artist who was currently in a session to speak to me. Whoever the guy is that spoke to me initially you sir are unprofessional and weak. The fact that you had to send a tattoo artist who was providing a good service and holding up the Ink Villains standard says a lot about you as a person and the owner should be disgusted to have you working for him and providing customer service to his clients. Lighten up a bit and deal with customers who present facts to you. I don’t bite, im sure there are way “worse” customers. That being said, i appreciate the guy who came outside and spoke to me like a man and let me know we at Ink Villains only pierce people 18 and up. That is our policy and he apologized for the inconvenience that is much more respectable! That being said Stop telling people you guys operate by the law and when the law is presented you go back on your word.Thank you-Angry US Veteran
I had a VHC piercing done by Jersey and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!! Kept it clean as he advised and it healed in less time than he advised! Would most definitely recommend him to anyone! I am definitely going back for more piercings!
Great shop!! I got two tattoos and most of my piercings from this place. 10/10 recommended
Professional and timely. They were busy but the piercer got us in and out. Cant beat 2/$20
Absolutely love this place. Chucky did an AMAZING job on my tattoo. He was also willing to help me choose what was best for me. Definitely wont be the last tattoo I get done by him. He was beyond outstanding. Thank you so much! I highly recommend him to anyone.
The best place to get tattoos, piercings also they got the best deals everyone is respectful, the place Is clean the tools are clean I plan on bring my kids here when there old enough the owner is awesome and caring and wants the best for u
Ive gotten 3 piercings and a tattoo done here, jersey did my tongue and belly button, and mike did my nose, and I love them and the healing process was pretty quick. Shaun did my tattoo last night and he gave me exactly what I asked for, its perfect. Everyone in the shop is chill and has great customer serivice skills, I will definitely be coming back for more tattoos and peircings in the future.
Went there for the first time to get my nose pierced. Great customer service, reasonable price. I would highly recommend. Most definitely going back if I decide to get another piercing👌🏾
When I first got there, there was a child who was barefoot in the tattoo area. I went for the 2 for $25 dollar piercing with my friend. She was getting both her nipples done and I was getting my navel and nose. The two worker were arguing in Spanish in front of us about the piercer needing to leave. We didnt even get our piercers name. He was lighter skinned with tattoos on his face and neck. He was very rude. He seemed to be bothered by questions when I asked. My friend went first and he didnt even clean the area or mark where he was piercing to make sure they were even. He literally took the clamp and went straight for it. Didnt erect the nipple either. When it was my turn, he didnt clean neither areas. He didnt mark my navel and went straight for it as well. When he went for my nose I flinched a little and he rudely scolded me. I guess you cant expect that great or service if youre getting two piercings for $25, huh? Ill never come here again. Unsanitary and unprofessional.
This place is absolutely one of the best places to go to for piercings and tattoos the work is 15/10 on both piercings and tattoos,They make sure you are comfortable and ready before they start anything. The staff is A1 and Super friendly and welcoming to everyone! Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!
I only go to ink villains. best prices, best people. super friendly and they make you so comfortable that you completely forget abt the fear. i got my frog eyes, double nose piercing, belly button. 10/10 would recommend
Walking into the shop the manager was very professional and courteous. Introduce me into Al and he was very professional and helpful with helping me get my first tattoo.Overall the staff is very nice and cool and the shop was very clean(everything sanitized and new). Will return soon.
So thankful for Amber! Shes a great piercer, very professional.
The customer service was decent. i went in for a regular tongue piercing and septum piercing. there wasn’t no problem with my tongue but when i got my septum, not only did she not clean my nose before hand, she pierced it VERY crooked. it’s highly noticeable that it’s crooked and i’m honestly embarrassed to even wear it.
I got my nose pierced at the Ink Villians location over in the Carrollwood area a few weeks ago and developed a keloid, I called and Mike was super kind and helpful and told me to come in. I went in, all the staff were very nice and Mike helped me out and fixed it right up. I really appreciated how quick and willing they were to help me. I’ll definitely be coming here again for any future piercings!
Love everyone here from Mike to his mother everyone is very down to earth I have gotten my piecing from Mike an I have recommended alot of people here . Im a hairstylist an I work for a hotel so I make sure word travels fast . For tattoos and piercings the prices r good u cant Go wrong everything is clean . If u have any issue Mike will take care of u . But overall its a good place .
Remi was on point, He was good at customer service he helped me a lot and it was fast I like the way he works 10/10 most def
