I got my nose pierced here a little over a week ago. The piercing looked great and the jewelry was nice. A few days ago the piercing kind of just fell out of my nose. I am not sure how this happened so I am not blaming the business for this. So, the next day I try to call the business in order to tell them what happened and make an appointment for it to be put back in. I called probably 5 times that day and not once did someone answer the phone. The next day someone finally answers and I make an appointment for the following day. Whoever I talked to on the phone was very nice which I am thankful for. I arrive at the appointment and call the phone again to be let in. No one answers. I call multiple times until finally I am told that the piercer called in sick and was supposed to call all the clients for the day to tell them their appointment had been canceled. Obviously she had not done that. I just think that my experience was unprofessional and could’ve been handled in a much better way so that I was not wasting my time. I have given up on this place and will be getting my piercing fixed somewhere else.

Got my septum pierced here. Leanne was my piercer and she was awesome! If I decide to get another piercing (which I most likely will because I have some ideas already) I will definitely come here again. Friendly staff, very clean. Overall great experience.

Ive been going there for a few months now to get my first tattoo done. Its a large piece and I was really concerned about detail. I also did not really know what I wanted for the background. I went it though, sat down with Amanda, and she helped me design it, figure out the details of the background and make sure its a great tattoo. I loved her suggestions. Through the whole process she was fun, easy to get along with, and she does a wonderful job. She is passionate about what she does and takes pride in her works. The reason I say that is because for my piece being larger, she wanted to make sure it didnt look like a sticker, which I really appreciate. My background trails off so that it blends with my skin more. I really love the job shes done and the detail in it, so thats why Im working with her to design the rest of a sleeve because I trust her.

Leanna is amazing! I took my 6 year old to get his ears pierced and she took the time to talk to him and explain everything before we walked in the room. Leanna was VERY patient and calming with my son which was the only reason he wasn’t afraid to get the second one done! Highly recommend!!

Have only been there to have my septum stretched. However, I know one of the artists Derek. The piercer/tattoo artist that did my work was fantastic. She walked me through the process and was very professional. The location is very modern in the inside. Very clean and neat. Highly recommend any of the artists for your next tattoo or piercing.

I went to high school with Eds son so this was the first place I thought of going when I wanted my tattoo. I went in on Monday and showed Ed what I wanted and had it priced. I was shocked at how cheap it was and how quickly I as able to make my appointment (two days later on Wednesday). Ed did a fantastic job with my design and even improved it. I was very comfortable here and they made my first tattoo experience very easy. I will definitely be back for my future tattoos.

When I was looking to get my first tattoo, I relied on reviews to guide me to the right shop to go to, so I feel the need to write a review for others doing the same thing. Well, today I got my first tattoo from Ink Spot. I am incredibly satisfied with the experience and service I received here and I absolutely love the tattoo, it came out amazing. My artist was Derek and he is a great artist, doing my tattoo free-handed, and hes very personable and helpful. Being my first tattoo, he took the time to educate me and advise me on everything I need to know. I highly recommend Ink Spot, and Derek in particular, for anyone searching for the right place to get your first tattoo, or even your tenth!

Leanna did a wonderful job. Considering this (my nostril) was my first piercing that was not my ears, I was nervous but she was extremely professional, yet hospitable so I quickly calmed down. She also went through the entire procedure before doing it and made sure I was ready when she was done going through it and sanitizing everything. I was in and out of the shop in no more than ten minutes. I would recommend this to anybody, especially those who have not gotten a piercing before.

Ive gotten a few tattoos here so far as well as a piercing and its by far the best place Ive been. Tony does amazing work and hes always excited to hear all of your ideas and turn it into something thats YOURS. You feel comfortable from the second you walk in the door. Everyone is always friendly and everything is clean. Id give more than 5 stars if I could 😀😀

Review №33

Professional, clean, comfortable, reasonably priced, pick from a wide array of art or bring in your own design to get scanned and sized. Artists talk to you about your choice, size, color, and placement before being tattooed. Although I was inked by only one of the artists in residence, his demeanor was pleasant and professional with no problem keeping up a conversation while working. I have tattoos from other shops in different cities and I honestly have to report that this is the best one I have been to. Your first tat or adding more skin art, Ink Spot Tattoo, without exception is the best choice for your personal skin art.

Ive been there so many times. Leanna is an excellent piercer for starters. Shes very informative about after care. 10/10 times I recommend anyone to go to her for a piercing. Shes done a few piercings on me. My high nostrils which healed fantastically. She did my double tongue piercings (venom bites). Pierced with a 10g needle and used 12g bars for my tongue due to having issues prior the last successful time. Leanna is amazing at her job. And I highly recommend anyone wanting to get a new piercing to go see her!

Tony is the bomb! Always willing to work with you for your best outcome and make sure your piece is exactly the way youll want it forever. Leanna takes the fear out of piercings, making sure youre comfortable and reassured along the way. I definitely recommend this location!

I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while to pay tribute to my mother who passed away a few years ago from breast cancer. My friend had recently gotten a tattoo at ink spot and he LOVES his tattoo. Derek was his tattooist and he totally raved about his work. Derek was super personable and he could tell that the tattoo meant a lot to me. I am super happy with it! Its above and beyond what i expected!!

Review №37

Great experience, I was really nervous but they are true professionals and made me feel at ease when getting my piercing. the only problem was that they take cash only, which isnt a big deal just a minor inconvenience. otherwise great overall and if i need anything in the future Ill definitely go to them.

Never had a tattoo but always loved them, because of the meaning each can hold. Did research and found Ink Spot Tattoo. Tony did my first tattoo and i showed him what i wanted he came back with a design that i just could not say no. The shop was extremely clean, and the very good atmosphere. Im glad i chose this place and will keep using them and recommending them to anyone I know. I already booked my next appointment.

Review №48

DO NOT GET BELLY BUTTON PIERCED HERE.I have had the worst experience ever. The piercer put too small of a rod into the piercing and it caused infection and pain. No room for the piercing to move. Had to watch numerous youtube videos cause my piercer didnt explain any after care. The aftercare and taking it out was the worst pain I experienced. She didnt show me how to clean it, she told me to not touch it, when you are supposed to clean it twice a day. Do not recommend. gonna have to spend more money and pain to get it fixed. awful.

I had been thinking about getting my other nostril pierced for my birthday. I decided to go to Ink Spot tattoo after briefly reviewing their shop online. I walked in spontaneously a few days before my birthday and it was a little awkward when I went inside. There was a guy and a girl sitting behind the counter and they were cordial but kind of cold. Neither of them introduced themselves, even when I said I was going to go though with the nose piercing. I previously had gotten (and healed successfully and uneventfully) a nostril piercing on the other side of my nose so Louisianna (whose name I got from my waiver) didnt explain anything about the procedure and didnt offer aftercare instructions until I asked. She also had me pick out jewelry from the display case in and took it directly back into the piercing room without sterilizing it. I should have left at this point.She took me and my boyfriend to the piercing room, wiped down my nose with alcohol and then took great care in marking my nose to get it to match my other one precisely (for which I am grateful for). She took both her needles and her clamps out of sealed packages and took a bit to set up while we chatted. When I asked her, she said that she had been piercing for a total of 5 years; a little inexperienced, but I was still willing to give it a shot.The piercing itself was painful-much more painful than I remembered my first nostril piercing being. She poked me with the needle once before even doing the piercing, SLOWLY put the needle through my nose, and then stuck the inside of my nose with the needle on the way out. She bent the jewelry so that it would accommodate the swelling, but it was so long it kept poking the inside of my nose.I think most of the mistakes she made were pretty much due to inexperience. Im not a piercer (nor do I claim to be) but I personally trust someone with a little more experience under their belt. I will not be returning to ink spot again for a piercing. Ill be going to Keith at Cowpok for all of my work --as should anyone who reads this.

I had set up an appointment with Amber in the shop in person for (5/26) and called back the same day rescheduling to a later date (6/20)because i was going out of town unexpectedly. She said that was fine because i already put a deposit down. She also said that would be fine because it would give her more time to design the tattoo. Because before if i got the tattoo on the 5/26 it would have gave her 3 days to put it together. Anyways, i called today (6/19) to ask to reschedule again because i hadn’t made it back to town in time for my appointment. So i was on the phone with her making sure i wasn’t gonna no call no show and trying to set up another appointment. Turns out our schedules aren’t very compatible but it’d probably push the appointment back another month. Mid conversation she described my tattoo and said she didn’t have it ready and wouldn’t have it ready even if i rescheduled to 6/29. ??????? and said she had 12 other people in front of me??? and that i would have to come in to design it and put another deposit down for the first no call no show????? but i definitely didn’t no call no show for 5/26. i called her the same day i made that appointment and she okayed for the 20th. Even at that my tattoo should have been ready for the 20th. So what i was gonna show up tomorrow and her not even have it ready? what would have happened? She was really snotty about it. I seen another review where they said she needs to lay off smoking because it’s messing with her memory and that is definitely a relatable review for me. She obviously didn’t remember if she said i no call no showed. But she had said she wrote me down in her book of appointments for the 20th. She didn’t make any sense. I was frustrated with her on the phone so i just said i wouldn’t be coming in for the tattoo anymore and hung up. Just shows what kind of tattooer she is. Doesn’t pay attention to clients or potential clients. Wouldn’t recommend her at Ink Spot Tattoo. Thanks.

This was my first tattoo experience & I wanted to go someplace close to my house. I googled tattoo shops near me & this was the 1st place that came up. So, I decided to go there & get a toe ring design on my 2nd toe that my daughter drew. The place was clean, the atmosphere was good & the staff was very professional. Joe did my tattoo & his room was clean & neat, plus he cleaned & sanitized everything prior to getting started. He made me feel really at ease the whole time. I was so impressed with the outcome of my tattoo & I must agree with what Joe said that it was Toetally Awesome...LOL!

I was there a couple times and joe is really nice but everyone else is just so rude and dont really care about their customers. the girl that works there (shes the piercer) and one of the tattoos artists tony sit there and talk badly about the people that just got something done in there...in front of customers...if theyll do that, who knows what they say about everybody who goes there?! Unless they get a better attitude i wont be going back and ill tell everybody i know not to go there because if i leave my money somewhere i wanna be treated with respect.

I wanted to give this place a chance but look what happened now Im out my money and time. This is the worst experience Ive ever had at a piercing/tattoo spot. Very unprofessional. They are not personable people at all and werent very welcoming. The woman lied about the piercing jewerly I wanted and I paid for one I didnt want. Please just use caution going here if you do. Please! Look at other places like Hardcore or CowPok please. I should have just listened to my friend but I wanted my nose piercing so much and I was in the area. Lesson learned I will go somewhere else next time.
