Local Color Tattoos and Piercings

I have had number of pieces done by Local Color artists. Everyone in the shop is fantastic at their craft. Great tattoo shop, that can bring your concepts to life. Check them out, you’ll be happy you did!

One of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had! My mom, brother and I went to Shannon wanting to get matching memorial tattoos for my dad who passed, on the one year anniversary. Not only was the work awesome, but the whole atmosphere was amazing. The whole staff was very welcoming and even though it was an emotional day for the family, LCT made it an unforgettable experience!

I recently got a piercing and back tattoo and I couldnt be happier. I worked with Shannon for both. It was a great experience, the tattoo is amazing. I get stopped & compliments all the time. The aftercare products are really good as well. Another thing I like about this shop is the overall vibe, its so chill! I cant imagine going anywhere else.

Made an appointment on 6/16 with Alex Miller @ Local Color. I had a basic idea of what I wanted to do and Alex brought it to life. I couldn’t be happier with the results. He has tons of flash ready to go and also works with your original ideas. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Had a walk in today to get a small neck tattoo. Girl at the front desk was polite and more than willing to change the size of the piece to my liking. Mike was great and had no issue doing a last minute walk in piece. Guy is definitely a character and told some pretty funny stories while doing the tattoo. Which I appreciate, since I enjoy getting to know the artists that tattoo you. Had a great experience.

Got 2 tattoos here for the first time ever. Shannon was my artist and was amazing. She is extremely talented, helped ease my nerves, and answered every question I had. Would highly recommend her. For any future tattoos, I will definitely come back to the shop.

Super happy with my first Local Color experience. Shannon was super professional and precise, while also being super fun.Nice atmosphere with cool people.Would recommend.And try their tattoo balm! Stuff works wonders👌🏼

Shannon is excellent and Im glad I got to finally get some ink from her. She did excellent and was very easy with the design process to the tattoo. Thank you very much

I recently arrived to my appointment at Local Color, and my artist Shannon allowed her apprentice to set up. The apprentice took 45 minutes to set up, and even longer to place my stencil three separate times. Shannon had to correct her the first time, a sign that she shouldn’t be allowed to do set up in the first place. At this point I was there for an hour with nothing to show for it. When Shannon finally (correctly) placed my stencil, we both agreed that my chosen design was not ideal for the spot I wanted it in, partly because at this point I was extremely frustrated. To my surprise, she told me she’d still be charging me for the ‘session’, even though she admitted that she didn’t pay close enough attention to my ‘consultation’ email, as she thought it was going on a different part of my body despite me being very clear. This was after she and the apprentice wasted an hour of my time . Instead of charging me the extra $10 on top of my $50 deposit ($60 shop minimum), she said she would just keep my $50 deposit as I was clearly very taken aback. I later explained in an email why I believe I should be refunded my $50, and Shannon responded back very unprofessionally, claiming I had “threatened” her for saying I would post a review if not refunded, while also denying my refund. This is how a 3-year loyal customer is treated at this shop. If customer service means nothing to you, please go ahead and book an appointment!

Shannon did yet another amazing job on my tattoo. It was my second by her and it was a great experience, love getting tattooed here!

The greatest tattoo shop in the world! you HAVE to visit Kayla when you go, i trusted her with 90% of the ink on my body

Theres not enough stars to represent the greatness of this place or those who work there. Everyone I have spoken to or interacted with is very kind. Ive had a tattoo done by Shannon and Mike years ago and was very pleased. Recently, had new work done by Mike and I absolutely LOVE it! Mike is an incredible artist and his tattoos are perfection. My trust and business stays here for sure.

If i could give 0 STARS I would!!!! AThe girl at the desk was horrible!! So Rude and nasty when I walked!! I called and asked about bringing my daughter in for a piercing that day and she clearly said yes on the phone and even told me what i would need to bring with me and after driving 40 minutes to get there, I walked in and the ignorant girl tells me i need to make an appointment and when i said i literally just spoke with you on the phone she looked at me like i was stupid and called told me she never told me to come! Basically calling me a liar!! I can not comment on the artists at this shop because i didnt even make it past the unprofessional rude front desk employee!

I had my first tattoo done here last week by Shannon and it was an amazing experience. Shannon made me feel really comfortable. She helped design and plan my tattoo. It turned out amazing and I’mSoooo happy with it. I would get another in a heartbeat. It was a rib tattoo which is supposed to be kind of more painful but she did a great job and it was not too painful at all ! Best of all the results are amazing. I had almost no redness, no peeling or itching. It’s been almost a week and I couldn’t be more happy.

I just got a tattoo done by Shannon. She was amazing! So funny and personable. Extremely gentle and talented. I came in with a tattoo that wasn’t great and needed an overhaul. She listened to my every concern and request and was completely honest with me why certain things wouldn’t work right for it. My tattoo turned out absolutely fantastic. Thank you Shannon!

I went to get my nose pierced back in late December. I had a great experience! The shop was very clean. Tabitha was very calm and professional. She did a great job with my piercing, and I plan to go back to get my belly button pierced soon. Would definitely recommend!

My sister wanted to get her septum pierced and I tagged along. I had no intention of getting mine redone since it killed the first time (got it done at different shop). But then I heard it was $10 and it would be done by Jules who we read good things about, I decided to give it another go.It was an amazing experience! Jules was very helpful and friendly, her mentor observed/helped to make sure everything was perfect, and I didn’t hurt at all! I highly recommend this place for both the atmosphere and the quality of service👍

I had a wonderful experience here! Their piercer Mikayla is super kind, professional, and quick! The pricing was superrr reasonable, and I’m so happy with how it turned out ! She talked me through the whole thing and the process was very sanitary and easy. Would recommend to anyone hoping to get an affordable piercing done well!

I dont have any tattoos and my only ears pierced once, so getting my septum pierced was a pretty unfamiliar and nerve-racking experience. JULES, the new piercer, did an AMAZING job. It was done quickly and confidently (with no hesitation); which I think is very important when it comes to piercing. I really loved that SHANNON, the owner, stayed with us and double checked everything - with Jules being fairly new to this shop. Jules explained the process beforehand, talked me through the steps she was performing, and after, gave me both a verbal and written guide of how to take care of my new piercing. I HIGHLY recommend this shop for everyone and anyone, new and experienced. Clean, comfortable, and calm. WILL DEFINITELY visit here again.

Ive been getting tattoos and piercings from local color for 10 years now and have never been anything but happy with the results. Alex and Shannon are the backbone of a great group of artists who are devoted to their work and the profession as a whole. Local color is like the old school neighborhood barber shop and Ill be returning there extremely soon to add to my collection.

Shannon and her apprentice were amazing. Shannon was friendly, funny, and over all very professional. She made me feel at ease and confident with her doing my VCH piercing. Will be returning ASAP for my nipples 🤗

The artwork was beautiful but the artist seemed annoyed by everything I did. I didnt see the draw up until day of, and asked for some minor edits which seemed to piss her off. It was a rib tattoo, and after two and a half hours I was spent. The angle I had to lay was making it hard to breathe so I was light headed and in pain. I thought maybe she was just having a bad day. For some reason half the tattoo was completely faded in a week and sent her a picture which she claimed was on purpose, but when she saw it in person said she had no idea why. I had asked for a draw up of the color, which she didnt have time to do. After going over the tattoo to fix the faded half, my nerves were shot. If I asked a question she acted short, and gave me nothing but attitude the whole time. As soon as I saw the color she started it was darker than I wanted. I will be seeking another artist to finish the coloring. I tipped well and always tried to be pleasant, so Im not sure what was going on. So if you want art and dont care how youre treated this is the place to go. Not the experience I wanted for a very special tattoo.I really liked the piercer who also works the front desk though. Bought jewelry and she offered to help change it. Every interaction with her was very pleasant!

I have been going to Lisa Harrison since I started getting my ink at forty-four. I dont really think I would consider going to anyone else. Her station is so immaculate you would think she was a surgeon. Lisa is pleasant and gentle. She makes you feel very comfortable. She is perfect for first timers. I trust her emphatically.

My friends and I went here to get nose and belly button piercings. Tabitha Shrodes was at the register, and said that she would be piercing us. My friend went back to get her nose done first, and Tabitha invited us to watch from the window. Things were going fine until she went to put the needle in. Halfway through inserting it, her hands started to violently shake. After multiple failed attempts to pass the jewelry through the needle, we had to ask her if she was alright. She said there were just too many people watching. So we went to the front of the shop and waited for her to finish. After a bit, my friend came back out bleeding with no piercing. Apparently, the Tabitha was unable to calm down enough to stop shaking and get the jewelry in. My friend asked her to stop because she didnt feel comfortable with someone clearly unsure of how to do a basic piercing touching her, but was told that everything was fine and Tabitha kept going. After more attempts to insert the stud she gave up and we all asked for our money back before she had the chance to touch my other friend and me. We left and drove 10 minutes to Xtreme Ink in West Chester where my nose was done in 5 minutes. I highly recommend them. A professional piercing specialist should be confident in their work. We have since heard from other people that our experience at Local Color was not unique. I will make sure to warn the people I know against coming to this shop.

Absolutely loved my experience here!! Staff was soooo sweet and professional. They also made me feel super comfortable while piercing. Would recommend 10/10

Amazing work for an affordable price. Friendly staff with a laid back and professional attitude. I may have found my tattoo artist fo life. My tattoo pictured below was just from 1 session. My finishing appointment is set for Sept 21st.

I had Tabitha pierce my tongue and it didn’t hurt. I went to go get the bar changed at a different shop and the piercer there said that the smaller bar wouldn’t fit because she pierced too far back on my tongue so I had to take the bar out and let my tongue heal. I’m definately getting it redone but not there. I’ll go back there to see how their tattoo artists are but I’m not going back for a piercing.

Best work I have ever had done! Shop is super clean. Artists are extremely creative and professional. Been going every month for the last year and half. You want a great experience and top ink then Local Color is the only place to go!

The shop is great! Clean, with a great vibe. Ive gotten all of my new pieces done here as well as a difficult cover-up. Shannon is the only artist Ill use!

Didnt feel a thing and got to lay down comfortably for my bad back. I got my tattoo done by Mike or should I say redone and it looks great for a great price. They do accept credit cards however tips must be in cash.

Shannon was very knowledgeable and nice. She made the piercing experience very easy and comfortable!

I had the pleasure last evening of having Julz pierce my cartilage, it was a last minute decision and I am so glad I made the right decision. The shop was so clean! Julz was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. As soon as I walked in I felt welcome and comfortable, which is something that is important to feel if someone is about to stick a needle through you. I plan on going back and having Julz pierce me again once this one heals up. Thank you Julz, you did great, look forward to seeing you again soon!

I got my septum repeirced and liked the experience. Noone else was there. The process was quick and very sanitary!! My only problem is that she pierced it sideways. Its so crooked I can hid it which is VERY!!!! Important for my job .... One side is on the sweet spot and the other, my cartilage -.- she acknowledged my scars from when I used to have it and followed the one same hole but not the other??? I also wondered why one side hurt soo bad and the other didnt? (after 15 piercings you become numb to the process) -.- I am sooo frustrated, and its clearly crooked, not just me being picky -.- I am sooo annoyed I gave her $10 tip -.-

It had decent reviews so I gave it a go. I brought in a simple black line picture about the size of a quarter. I have no clue how you can mess up lines so badly. They were thin but sloppy like a pen, unrefined and no sharpness to them. Was not sure if she knew how to use a needle. It just looks like the outline of a screw up. Be careful.

Went to get a my industrial redone, I was sure I would need it repeirced, but the peircer who was also training an appretenice at the time, took a few seconds looked at my ear and Bam, two seconds later my bar was back in no need for needles. Just paid 10 bucks for the pericing. Very eccentric owners,. I will be back for a tattoo.

Lisa was Amazing . she really understood what I was going for when others couldnt. She has a very comforting energy and made me feel important and the tatoo I got in my grandmothers memory turned out PERFECT!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I highly recomend lisa

Killer artists, amazing overall experience from beginning to end. Couldnt be happier. Highly recommend. Thank you Alex!

I dont go anywhere else, Alex is great , listens to what you want and then works his magic. Great friendly place....

Great experience. Clean shop. Mike was great. He makes you feel comfortable. Definitely would recommend them!

This is a nice place. Shannon did a really good job on my tattoo

Was looking to get another hand tattoo, apparently I’m not “heavily tattooed” enough to get one at this place? Never heard of that before so definitely was thrown off.

Bro, do go here worst place ever, the girl at the front desk has the worst attitude and I hope she gets fired! All the staff yells at each other and they have no clue how to act like normal people!! DO NOT COME HERE!!!!

Terrible job ! My tattoo came out horrible. Messy lines, a lot of missing ink. Im getting my tattoo covered as soon as it heals. Dont waist your money here.

Best place to get tattoos. Nice people, clean, amazing artwork for a reasonable price.

Amazing artist , If your looking to get your first tatoo or just looking for a new artist you have to stop by this place .

Local color has the BEST artists in the area...hands down. No need to look anywhere else!
