I’ve been here on multiple different occasions, and I’ve had different people do different services for me. A coverup by one, septum by another, belly piercing by the owners daughter (I think haha), and the owner himself. When I tell you, EVERYONE is amazing at what they do here. I always leave happy and satisfied with my service. Haven’t had any problem with my piercings, my tattoo look GREAT. The piercings are fast and easy, they work with you, and really take their time with everything they do. Customer service is awesome, everyone’s so nice here haha. Will definitely be coming here each and every time I want work done!

What a gem of a place! I recently had a cartilage piercing done by the lovely Stephanie and she was absolutely amazing. As soon as I walked in, everyone had a nice demeanor. I’m excited to have found a place I feel comfortable with.

I had a great experience today. My artist Kris B made sure that everything was set up and properly sanitized. He respects all his customers and definitely perfects his craft and takes his time. My tattoo was neatly placed; loved the finished product! The shop is clean and the energy in there is top tier. All the gentlemen in the shop are highly appreciated and have gifted hands! Definitely a 10/10, if your looking for a good and trust worthy tattoo shop I definitely recommend ncognito ink.

Went to get my ear pierces back in July and I am honestly so happy with how professional and nice everyone was. I was nervous but they helped calm me down and hyped me up, which was great. Place was very clean and they had a large variety of piercings. Definitely going back for future piercings!

Review №14

Came here for a nostril and navel piercing. Only to be told by another piercer two months later that my nostril was done crooked. I had to get it removed, and I’m having someone else do it when it heals. The same piercer who told me my nostril piercing was crooked, took a look at my navel and said it should have NEVER been pierced the way it was. I had to remove that one as well. It was cheap jewelry, the metal was already corroding after only two months. If you’re looking for quality piercings, please…look elsewhere.

We came all the way from Florida to get my son his first tattoo by Jack and he did an amazing job. He was very professional, and fast. My son liked the personal touch he put into the tattoo. This is the cleanest and nicest parlors I have ever been to. Everybody was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Ncognito Ink. Jack and Denise set the bar for top quality in the industry.Thank you both so much for a wonderful experience.

All love for everyone who is currently working at this place. They are hilarious and treat you like family. Jack is great at making you feel comfortable for any piercing/tattoo you’d want. He is very professional & as a plus is a very intelligent + wise man (just in case you decide to talk to him during your tattoo session. Diamond has a goofy bubbly personality & will keep you entertained. This place won’t just sit you down and be in a rush to get you out. They think about what you want BUT make sure you make the right decision, they’ll give you ideas and placement tips which is great.—Overall: very clean, awesome personalities, very professional and kind.This is like my 2nd home now.

Jack is an amazing artist who takes time and effort into personalizing your tattoo to make it one of a kind. He took several ideas I had and helped me to create the perfect sleeve and it turned out more beautiful than I could imagine. His shop is very clean and sterile, with awesome decor and he did a great job making it feel like a place you can come in and relax. Very chill environment with good conversation. I recommend him to everyone who asks about where I got my sleeve done and I’ll be back for more for sure!

Review №26

I got my nose pierced here. I did have an issue with it at first but the owner of the shop reached out to me to see what we could do to try and make it better. He was very understanding of my issue and we did solve the issue. Thank you so much. The owner is a very nice guy and takes his business very seriously.

Jack was awesome for being flexible. I had to reschedule twice, and he was more than happy to still work me in. Sean ended up doing the actual tattoo and did an amazing job. Very nice and talented team.

This was the tattoo shop that I chose for my first tattoo and it was so amazing! Everything was clean and very sage looking and sterile. Jack my tattoo artist didn’t hurt me at all and he gave me the most beautiful and perfect tattoo. I went in thinking I was getting just black in one word (all I wanted) and left with a watercolor mural because he’s such an amazing artist and I didn’t want him to stop❤️ Thank you Jack for giving Me my first tattoo and it won’t be the last!

Review №33

This was my second tattoo shop Ive been to and I know for sure this will be the shop I go to for as LONG as its near me. The shop was clean and organized and the artists were friendly. The owner greeted me like he knew me already and Dimond talked me through my tattoo making it a super easy process. I felt comfortable and safe and my tattoos look PERFECT! Would HIGHLY recommend coming here.

Review №38

This is by far the cleanest most friendly and customer service oriented tattoo shop that Ive ever been to. The owner Jack has one of the steadiest hands that you can imagine and his attention to detail and his skill to turn ideas into not only a picture but a vivid piece of art. Ive waited for a conversation piece from Jack since 2009. I flew to Chicago with my girl to visit my long friend and get some ink. When she discovered his work on Instagram, she fell in love with it and demanded a tattoo as well. She gets her piece done tomorrow.

After getting pierced here- I wouldn’t recommend anyone getting a piercing here. If you are a woman getting a piercing go somewhere else. Leaving with paper towels instead of the proper bandages isn’t sanitary. Hard pass (for piercings).
