Anyone in this area looking for high quality work can stop your search here. My artist was Dustin and he did an exceptional job with my tattoo. All the artists there are extremely talented. The shop has a really cool energy as well. Perfect balance of comfort and professionalism. I would give them more than five stars if I could.
Went to Ikonic and had 2 wrist tattoos done by Dustin, and I couldnt be happier. Great place, great work and I really enjoyed the open layout of the shop, and the crew was so friendly and a lot of fun. definitely going back!!!
Staff was very professional. I walked in and the lady at the desk was very helpful and kind. The conch piercing I got was exactly how I wanted it to look. The piercer, Rachel, was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. She made sure I was comfortable and was open to answer all of my questions. I would definitely come back here! 10/10 recommend!
The staff is amazing. Theyre all kind and helpful. They made my piercing experience so relaxing. Rachel is the absolute best!!
Rachel was amazing!! Thank you so much for the new piercing!!
Love Love Love this place! Everyone is so nice and helpful. The artists are amazing! I love all things girly and pretty. Janice superseded my expectations! I definitely recommend.
Awesome place to get a tattoo or piercing. The tattoo artists do amazing work, and so does the girl doing piercings. Very nice work for a very goos price. Very highly recommended.
This place is amazing this will be my third time in; once to get a piercing and the last 2 times were to start and finish this tattoo. The staff are wonderful and friendly they really make you feel comfortable and like your just apart of their family. Their prices arent too much and the work they do is phenomenal. Their well definitely be my go to shop.
I just wanted to know where they where located in Altoona Pa.
Tom spent his day working on my ink, ALL DAY.. added his own touch and I LOVE IT.. seems to be a fun place to be they all acted like family to each other. Dont see that much anymore. Will be returning.. Thanks Tom for the great ink!!!!
Excellent work! Highly recommend Jake.
Good professional but laid back environment with awesome people
Excellent and talented! Will definitely go back!
Lovely staff! You cant bring anyone in with you unless its a parent and youre a minor, but this is completely understandable. Rachel was very informative and did not judge anyprevious information, but built on what I already knew. Im in love with my new Medusa, it feels comfortable and in the right spot. Very reasonable prices, best around for the quality. Would definitely recommend! ♥️ Shop was very clean and welll out together as well.
I recently took my daughter to get her ears pierced and our appointment was scheduled with Rachel! She was absolutely amazing - took her time to explain everything, was very thorough and professional, and made this an awesome experience! Highly recommend!
I was hesitant about going here because I saw reviews about their customer service but everyone I came in contact with was inviting and helpful.Rachel was AMAZING with my septum piercing!!! I was extremely anxious but her energy was wonderful, she told me what to expect and reassured me it wouldnt be as bad as I anticipated (it wasnt bad in the least bit whatsoever).My friends insisted on being there as well so she had no problem waiting for them to come from the other side of the mall before piercing me.Overall Im very satisfied with my experience there from start to finish and will recommend others to go there as well.
Dustin with ikonic did and amazing piece of art for me and at an affordable price. Very friendly and open to alterations. Highly recommend.
Everyone there was friendly and professional. The studio was very clean, and it was easy to see that health and safety were a priority. It was my daughters first tattoo, and the tattoo artist, Jess, was wonderful! She made us feel comfortable, explained everything about the process, and was very attentive. She took the time to make sure she understood exactly what my daughter wanted throughout the process. Highly recommend!
Michael did amazing on my tattoo beyond expectations!
I got an industrial piercing from a reputable place when I was on vacation. Turns out, I’m allergic to the bar in my ear. Nothing is wrong with my piercing itself. I had an allergic reaction and my ear is blistered. I called them and they said they do walk ins from 12-5. I got there at 4 and they said that they were booked the rest of the day. Fine. I said I need to get a titanium bar for my ear. The lady looked at my ear and said it is really inflamed. I tried to tell her I had an allergic reaction, but she immediately cut me off and said I should see a doctor about an infection. When she realized I was mad she walked away. Came back to measure my ear, said nothing and walked away again. Came back with the bar I bought and said “like I said, see a doctor.” Walked away. When I went in I was very friendly. Not angry or short with the lady at all. I tried explaining to her that my reaction started immediately after getting it pierced, my ear is not draining infectious fluid, and that it is not painful. So instead of listening to me, she thought she knew my situation. I understand that piercers have experience, yet my situation was different. So now, I am very upset because I have to go home and put the bar in by myself, without the help of a professional. In conclusion, if you are looking for a place with nice, generous people, who put the customer before themselves, DO NOT GO HERE! Thank you!
Honestly fantastic. A very professional experience for sure, from start to finish. The staff was very welcoming and warm, were extremely informative, and definitely knew their stuff. I left feeling like I made a perfect decision in where I went to get my septum done.TL;DR: 10/10 will go again!
They let us do a walk in for a flash on friday the 13th. they were super nice ab everything and it was my first tattoo but the guy was super chill ab it! he did a great job. i’m coming back next week for another. love the service there and the art work!
Got my ear pierced here with Rachel who is so nice and informative! Very clean place of business.
Great people, great tattoos, great work!
I love Ikonic! I got tattooed by Jake and he was extremely professional. Ive also got pierced by Rachel and I would honestly say shes amazing. Shes super easy to get along with and talk to. Theyre clean, and definitely a place youd feel comfortable going too!
Great place! Clean, friendly staff. I love my new tattoo
Rachel the piercer was so wonderful!
Great place to get inked or poked! Excellent staff! Very professional and courteous. Clean atmosphere and outstanding selection of body jewelry. One of the best shops Ive been to.. if youre looking for your next tattoo or piercing, look no further and go see the people at Ikonic Ink!!
Tom is the best! He’s done 8 tattoos for me each as good as the last!
I got my septum peirced at Ikonic Ink about 3 weeks ago by Rachel, and it was a great experience. She definitely knew what she was doing. Everything was very hygienic, she changed her gloves multiple times. She kept a conversation going, and talked me through the whole process and what to expect. My piercing is healing very well, and I will definitely be going back for any piercing I may want in the future.
Myself and 2 nieces went to Iconic Ink today to get our ear lobes pierced. The shop was immaculate and the staff very professional. One of my nieces was sure she would pass out, shes been trying to get her nerve up to get this done for a couple of years. The woman who did all the piercings was wonderful and explained every detail. My niece had no problem, she didnt even flinch. The room was disinfected between each of us getting pierced.I can tell you that I have had gun piercings in my lobes, nose and ear cartilage. Needle piercing is easier and within an hour my ears felt completely normal. No pain, heat or swelling at all so far. The flat back of the post will make sleeping much easier since Ill have no pointed earring poking my head for the next couple of months.Dont let anyone hold a piercing gun to your head!!!
Got my snake bites done here and thus far they’ve healed beautifully. I’m extremely happy with my piercings and with the people there. Very professional and friendly, would definitely recommend going here.
I traveled to State College, PA from NY for a tattoo appointment with a friend that ended up completely falling through. After no success at any State College parlors, my friend and I decided to try Altoona. We called ahead of time to check on walk ins, and the front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful. Thank god they had multiple artists available at that time!Everyone at this studio was super nice and fun to be around. My tattoo (right) was done by Tom - but I had already had the art. My friends (left) was done by Jake from scratch. We had such a pleasant experience, especially for it being so last minute. Thanks for everything, guys!
Rachel was wonderful . The whole staff was friendly and great.
The staff were super nice, professional and fun to talk to. The girl who did the piercing was very cool and very good at what she was doing. Would recommend. If youre concerned about going to a place in the mall, dont be.
We have not gotten any work done here. But did stop in one day to inquire about getting an appointment for a piece my husband wants to get. The artist seemed to lack customer service skills. He acted as though we were wasting his time. He lacked creativity and was quick to dismiss our concept. We definitely understand why he had full days open with no appointments booked. We have found another shop who have been awesome to work with and will be well worth the 3+ month wait.
We are there every other week getting tattooed by Tom, I have been going to him for a while now he is my go to guy. Everyone else there is very nice and will help u any way they can. Also Rachel pierces us she is very good at her job,she talks to u the whole time is very nice and is very up front with u
Very amazing staff & atmosphere. Got my daith pierced here November 7, 2017. She did a gr8 job. Will definitely be back. They do tattoos, piercings & have beautiful body jewelry. Highly recommend this spot!
If youre going to get a tattoo or piercing this is the place you should go. The people are so helpful and incredibly friendly. The artists have plenty of experience and it shows. They also take great pride in the cleanliness of their shop and equipment. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a quality tattoo or piercing to check them out.
Rachel was fantastic. I love my new piercing. I enjoyed every second of my time with her! Very courteous and just lovely!
Thr best
Justin gave me my first tattoo and he did such a wonderful job! I also got my nose pierced here and that was great as well. Place is very clean and well taken care of. Pricing is freaking amazing for the quality of the tattoos! I was shocked at how cheap it was... Personally I think theyre cheating themselves (so definitely leave a good tip if you go in) ;) I will definitely be returning for more tattoos/piercings in the near future!
Rachel did my septum piercing today and she was amazing! She was so sweet and talked through the entire process thoroughly to make sure I knew what she was doing at all times. She was very easy to talk to and made conversation with my friend and I while the process took place. The studio itself was really nice and very clean too. I loved it there.
The people who work there are so nice!! They make your experience so great!
Great place very clean and friendly people.
Had my septum pierced here and as my first body piercing was quite nervous, but was communicated with so clearly and professionally, patiently with tender touch and a painless outcome
Loved this place! The staff there was excellent and very helpful! The pricing was good and i am very happy with my tattoos. Tony Stark did a water color tattoo for me and a cross on my neck. Both turned out great! Check out their website!
I loved my visit. I got a tattoo. The artist was very nice and did an excellent job
Went in for a cartilage piercing and definitely left smiling! I absolutely love the way it turned out and everyone working was very nice, especially the piercer!
Got my daith piercing here. I debated it for awhile then finally spontaneously came into this shop. Very comfortable and friendly environment. Rachel did a fantastic job on my piercing and provided me with a lot of knowledge on self care. Love that they do not condone piercing guns!!
Tom is the best...he is doing a cover up and one its done Ill post a picture.
Very friendly! Super willing to schedule as a walk in piercing, and the entire staff was helpful with answering questions and giving suggestions. Definitely would go back!
Tom Phillips is an awesome tattoo artist. Always love his work.
Rachel was absolutely amazing. I just got my daith repierced and added a helix and Im so in love. Everything was explained wonderfully and she had an amazing attitude. Thank you so much. I will be returning here for any other piercing I will get in the future.
Awesome work done. Prices were fair for the work and time that the Artists take to do it right. Ink looks good when they’re finished with it.
Definitely a 10/10... I have a fear of needles and everyone made me feel so calm about having a needle go through my skin ✌🏻 I will definitely be back
My Tattoo ( a Buddhist mantra ) has some missing ink spots which I had pointed out after it was done, Tom said when it heals I wouldn’t see it, so I just stated that “oh looks hard to color in it all” just cause it did cause it’s like a lot of space to cover with a needle, also I understand I’m not good at conversation but Tom then stated “how many tattoos did you do” which I found kind of rude, I mean maybe I took it harsh. Also the lines aren’t really that great, some out of line spots. I was told I could come in and he would re go over it for free, but my social anxiety after that response and also the fact there is slight scarring (yes I did clean, apply ointment properly, and let it peel on it’s own) I assume there was just too much pressure in the area with the needle damaging the skin/tat, but what do I know right. Lol anyways, I did decide to go and look at his other art and he does do some quite amazing tattoos. All in all, I guess my luck isn’t always on my side, nor my social skills. People obviously have left with amazing work done by Tom, all I have to say is walking in anywhere there’s always a risk it’s not perfect or how you imagined so be careful when you decide to get a tattoo and be aware it could go wrong regardless of experience. I wouldn’t say it was totally horrible nor totally great. It’s just, ok. I guess haha.
I took my 6 year old daughter here when she wanted to get her ears pierced as a birthday preset. I have been hearing horrible things about those piercing guns for years and absolutely did not want some random untrained person doing it. Everyone at Ikonic was amazing with her! The awesome girl who did Kyras ears made sure that she knew it was her decision. They want to make sure that it is the childs choice, that they understand whats going to happen, and they reassure them that nothing will be done unless they want it to! They let her sit on my lap and color while it was being done so she wasnt 100% focused on the whole thing. It was just great all around! I highly recommend to this place to anyone...grown up or not!
Greated me right away scheduled me right away. Once the appointment came they took what i gave them and made it 10x better. Comfortable friendly clean professional
Very good prices and all of the work I have seen done by them has been very good and professional.
Got my ears pierced and had been nervous. Rachel was absolutely amazing and talked me through the whole process. Will definitely be back!
Very clean. Only suggestion that I have is to have more seating in the waiting area. I got a daith piercing and she was very good at it. Thank you Ikonic Ink!
Gotten 2 tats here and both times staff was exceptional!
Just for the public... They do piercings as they open, tattoo start at noon. Awesome people, wonderful atmosphere. Commenter your ink on.
There tattoos look incredible the sketch artist really tale there time and know what they r doin
In February 2018 I came to Jake Stanford wanting to get two full color sleeves. We set up Sundays for my appointments. I was supposed to come get tattooed every Sunday until the sleeves were finished. Jake was NEVER on time for our appointment. He was late so often that eventually we pushed the start time back from one until two. Sometimes it was later. He was never prepared to work. This would mean I showed up at two for an appointment but would have to wait for him to open the shop, eat, use the bathroom, & then setup to tattoo. Most days the actual tattooing did not start until several HOURS after my appointment time. If the appointment was 2 that would mean tattooing starts at 5. Ive never had someone waste my time more than Jake.JAKE IS ALSO COLORBLIND.Something he does not tell people up front. Something he did not tell me until several sessions into color sleeves. Due to this he tattoos at such a slow rate that it seems unreal. A two hour tattoo becomes a full day experience after waiting several hours to start and then the slow pace at which Jake tattoos. He also checks text messages and social media while tattooing. Due to this slow process a tattoo that should be a few hours and 1 session gets stretched into several sessions over multiple days. None of the tattoos Jake does are 1 session. I have several unfinished tattoos on me which Jake does not want to schedule finishing due to the fact touchups are unpaid. Ive sat over 51 hours of tattooing with Jake and nothing is complete.I switched from Sundays to Thursdays to accommodate Jake. Three apts ago I was cut short for Jake to go on a date. Two apts ago I was cut short because Jake had scheduled another tattoo after mine even though I was supposed to be booked for the day. Last apt he cut me short again for another tattoo even though I had booked a full day. Then I had an appointment which he tried to push from 2 up to noon so he could tattoo someone else even though again, I was supposed to have the day booked. I cancelled that apt knowing there was no way Jake would be on time at noon or fully awake and at 100% to tattoo. Then I was told I have to wait a month to get in because my full days were booked by other people.Now Im in the position of having to find another artist to finish what Jake started or find a way to cover it all.
Got my first tattoo here, really recommend this place for anyone. Great place, very solid line work for my tattoo, and both the artists Toeknee and Justin are very cool and made me feel very comfortable about getting one. Very good prices, and the piercings are just as great.
Always so professional, everyone is so nice and follows all protocols every time, and the nose ring options are so beautiful!!
I am highly frustrated and disappointed with this business. I have gone there three times trying to get a piercing done and all three times they were not able to do it. The first time they had no needles, so the employee took my name and number so I could get a call when the needles came in and I never got a call. The second time I was a few minutes past 8 o’clock and they don’t close until 9 and was refused service. Then the third time I was 4:30 when I arrived and they didn’t close until 6 and was refused service because there was one person in front of me getting a piercing. I will not be trying to go their again. They clearly don’t know how to run a business since they continuously turn away clients.
Justin did a custom piece for me for me to remember my wife who had passed away . Im telling you the man is the best at what he does as for the piece simple amazing . The whole entire staff there is great very helpful and most of all very friendly .thanks guys .
Great staff! Friendly, helpful, no pressure! No worries about cleanliness or safety! Professional piercings! Always thrilled with my visits!
Enjoyed my Experience! She did an excellent job😁 love my piercings.
Very nice staff and they do good work
About a year ago I got my rook pierced by Rachel and was pleased with the piercing and the welcoming environment the employees provided. Yesterday I was again impressed by Ikonic Inks wonderful work. I received my first tattoo from Justin and I absolutely love it! I went into the shop extremely nervous, but they all put me at complete ease with their comforting comments, as well as Justin walking me through the entire process beforehand. The humor of all the artists also made the overall experience enjoyable, what down-to-earth people! Thanks for the laughs and comfort... and also thank you Toeknee for the redhair compliment. Lol. I will certainly be returning to Ikonic Ink soon!
Hi. Beware of service a this shop. Dont let the fancy inside fool you to think the art work or piercing matches it. Tony charged us 60$ each for simple half wedding bands done in black on our fingers. Tom did my finger tatoo. That evening I got home after washing it gingerly I notice spots that were clearly missed. I called n told him n took pics n Tom said comeback in a n Ill re do it. Walked in day n time of appt n he had nerve to say cause i used too much of there product redemption cream was why the ink was missing in sections. I explained my fiance used twice as much as me n I barely used it. I have 6 other tattoos n was never told to use that cream for them. Of course from years ago n several different artist. Also forgot to mention Tom asked if u did dishes. I said yes with a rubber glove on my tatoo hand. He said doing dishes could of caused the ink to disappear too. Lol.Point is they cost way too much n try to blame you for there horrible work. To top it all off Tony came in after Tom started my redo n Tony wouldnt even look at myself or fiance didnt even say hi hows your tatoo doing to my fiance. Nothing. Hes ignorant and arrogant just like Tom n all the other employees. I never thought we would be treated so rudly after we were just there a month ago n spent 120$.
Absolutely love it here! So clean and amazing piercings! Love they dont use peircing guns in here and how great every single one turns out! Definetly reccomend!
Quick easy and as painless as a tongue piercing can be. Thanks. I was in out in like 15 mins
Got my daith and tragus done today. Rachel was absolutely amazing! The shop is beautiful. The people are warm, friendly and professional. So glad I chose Iknoic Ink! I’ll definitely be back 😊
Geat service. Jess was awesome!
Very nice people, very clean procedure
Very clean. Very professional. Love this place.
Wont go anywhere else for my peircings! Rachael is the absolute best! Walking you thru every single step of the process. She makes you feel at ease. She actually carries on conversations with you unlike alot of other places in the area.
This place is amazing. Very nice and knowledgeable staff. High quality jewellery, which is nice to see.
Really thinking about getting a tat...finally lol
Drove along way to just have them tell me something they could of told me over the phone.. When i told them it was for a child.. But guess it my fault for taking my money there
Wonderful tat artist, very friendly n clean... the priecer is very friendly n professional also price are great for additional jewelry if you want quality jewelry for your priecings...
Great environment. Very friendly people. AMAZING work all together.
The staff are awesome and I would recommend them to anyone
Awesome job, loved it there . My piercing didnt even hurt. Thanks Rachel.💖💖💖
Ikonic Ink sells quality jewelry. As someone who has reacted to every kind of metal, I can finally wear earrings again. Piercer Miranda Williams is excellent too!
Rachel is an amazing lady and so relaxing and helpful with piercing!
Great artwork and very nice people
Staff is very professional. Clean work stations.
They do good work but the over all customer service aspect of the place is terrible.
Best shop in Altoona
The staff is really nice
Best place to get piercings in town.
