Quori is amazing! He took his time and really explained the whole process and science behind the tattoo. Everyone was so kind. I will definitely be back!

Went in for a philtrum piercing. Everything was explained well. Jr did an amazing job and was very patient with me.

Orlando is an awesome artist! Others seemed great too. The place is clean and today at least, there was very little wait.

Best place to get pierced, only place I come to get anything done with the nicest staff. Highly recommend

Perfessional, clean and they give you exactly what you want and more in their artwork. Awesome environment while your in the shop. Feels like your with your boys. Highly recommended

I came in to do a Ashley piercing which goes through the lip and comes out through the back. I met with Jr to get it pierced we used a straight bar and it was placed too low for my liking. I ended up getting my nose pierce but paid for the jewelry of my lip. Ok cool. Told me to come back and I didn’t have to worry about next time it was “cool”. I came back after it healed. Met with the apprentice told him about my last encounter. I wanted a straight bar and in the middle of my lip. He seemed a bit fussed he insisted with a curve piercing. Jr agreed. But was the same person who pierced me with a straight bar. Long story short. It’s again not in the middle of my lip. We’ve made many marks and finally agreed the placement and still. Not where we decided. They changed the piercing 3 times and ended up putting a straight bar . I paid a fee and tipped. I am very disappointed. I have to now wait again and to get it pierced. The takeaway, listening to the clients wants not getting passive aggressive. I lost money and what my lip had to go through twice is not right.

People are professional, portfolios are amazing, and a very diverse body of work being done here. If your going to be making a likely permanent choice for your body, this is the spot

I am only giving this shop 3 stars. The person who pierced my nostril was well informed on the procedure. They had me lay down before I even got to see the equipment they were using be sterilized. I also bought a septum ring (a piercing that has been healed open for almost 9 years), they asked me if I wanted installed right after I told them i wanted my left nostril pierced. I told them no. After they pierced my nostril, they installed my septum ring anyway. I dont know what the apprentice that installed my septum ring did... but it hurt. I teared at him putting it in, where the nostril piercings I did not tear at all (which is funny because they gave me a tissue for the tears before they started the procedure. 5 days later and my septum hurts more than a fresh piercing (Ive had jewelry in my septum recently too) Im also giving this shop 3 stars because they were just too professional for my taste (this is simply an opinion) they treated me as if i were money. It was a quick in and out, no personal interaction that built up client trust. They long haired fellow I spoke with while inquiring about a tattoo quote... he was more friendly. But overall, I probably wont go back, just because of the septum pain and the experience of not watching my equipment sanitized (which, the not asking to watch my equipment sterilized is half my fault) Ive had 5 nose piercings now. Im not new at this.

Youre in good hands. Theyre professional and use everything sterilized and clean. If you decide to get a peircing the piercer will not only be careful and accurate but also will answer any questions you have concerning your piercing and will folllow up with you during your healing process if you need it. They work with you and walk ins for peircings are always welcomed. They also have very cute body jewelry ❤

Orlando’s customer service was impeccable. He was very professional & made me feel so comfortable..I will definitely highly recommend this tatoo shop.. They Rock!!!

Best piercing experience Ive had at any shop in 3 states!

The service here is amazing. I’ve had a few piercings done by Jr and Joseph as well as some tattoos/touch ups done by Quori. I love this place.

Took me over two hours to get a septum piercing, with apparently only 2 people ahead of me. I’m confused as to why it would take that long when you literally just put the needle through and thread the ring. So if anyone has an understanding as to why this was the case please lmk. Very disappointed in the service.

I’m a first-timer here, and I came to Eddie for assistance with putting my new jewelry in. He ended up re-piercing my nostril in a better spot than it was in, and he also was very efficient with putting in the barbell for my Christina.🗣 Let me speak to this mans ATTENTION 👏🏾 TO 👏🏾 DETAIL👏🏾! What’s funny is, a previous piercer told me back in March that the hole had closed for another intimate piercing of mine and that she was reluctant to redo it. Eddie the Eye had no problem finding that that site hadn’t closed, and he set me up with yet ANOTHER piece of jewelry! I was so impressed at his correction of two errors that I showed him another and I have no doubt that he can give me the result I really want.Thank you, Eddie! You made my day 😄

I shouldve came here in the first place when it came to getting my nose pierced. My friend brought me here to get my nose piercing corrected. Eddie was great! He is very knowledgeable with many years of experience.

Jr did my medusa piercing very nice and professional guy🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

I had an appointment with Diana today, and I am very happy with my tattoo. It had been 25 years since I got inked, but my experience today was wonderful. She did a great job adding to an existing tattoo, and the work she did exceeded my expectations. She has great attention to detail and ensured everything was perfect. Everyone at the shop was very friendly and professional from start to finish! I will be coming back again.

I went in to get the Ashley piercing today, and I absolutely loved how it came out ❤️ They’re always so patient & nice with me especially since I get a little nervous.

Great clean location. Great friendly service. Got ears pierced.

Pretty cool people they do good work as well been coming here for a while already and planning on doing business in the future as well..

Best tattoo parlor ever, thanks Orlando and everyone else.

PIERCING EXPERIENCE:Eddie is your guy! I went to Eddie after I read several good reviews. I was not disappointed. He pierced my daith and I had to go back for more! He has now pierced a forward helix and anti-tragus as well! If you are unsure of what you want or what will look best for your ear, he will happily consult with you. He is professional, fun, educational and CLEAN. The ambiance is chill and has positive frequencies. You do not need an appointment to get pierced. Their updated hours are as follows : 2pm-10pm.FYI : tipping makes it hurt less*

Very nice place, staff is a little …

Diana did an amazing job! We are very happy with our tattoos especially her line work (4 tattoos)! My daughter got her first tattoo and shes hooked!! We WILL be coming back.

Ive gotten my nose pierced and my first tattoo here and let me say it was great ! Shout out to Ivan and Eddie. You guys should really check them out. They are all very nice, build up good conversations and make you laugh. Best part is that they just make you feel comfortable. Ill definitely be returning.

Awesome tattoo by Quorie. Spent many hours there and he was very detailed and helpful and friendly. I will be returning for more. Cant wait!!, I highly recommend this place.

I went to get my naval re-pierced yesterday. It was done last year at another shop but it rejected. Eddie explained to me it would be best to do an inverse piercing on me. No pain initially and none today either (day after). It really is a major difference between the last time it was done and this time. He knows what he’s doing! Super funny guy as well, which helped with my nerves. I’ll definitely be back to see him. Thank you so much 😊

Paisley is the only onePaisley is the only one I would like to touch my skin with. Ink

Took my daughter to get her ears pierced. Eddie was great. Friendly and knowledgeable. Absolutely would recommend anyone who wants their ears pierced professionally, go here, NOT the mall

Obet was awesome! He carefully lined up and mirrored an existing tattoo of mine. Did a great job. Very pleased.

My girl and I were excited about her getting a tattoo. I even called off work bc I wanted to be there with her. But when I got there. They told me I wouldn’t be allowed to be with her. On top they put dividers so I wouldn’t see. Something that was supposed to be a great experience turned into a disappointment. Never again are we coming here again. Wouldn’t recommend getting a tattoo from here with your partner.

Havent gotten tattooed here (yet) but have heard/seen great things. Pass by all the time and looks nice inside.

I had a great experience at Archer Ave Tattoo and Body Piercing. I am very happy with my septum piercing. I was very nervous at first (being my 1st piercing) but Eddie put me at ease right away. He was friendly, professional and informative. He did an amazing job measuring correctly and putting in perfectly straight. I absolutely love my piercing. Highly recommend!!

Ask for eddy bear . The best piercer there is..

Paisley did such an amazing job on my tattoo. Cant wait to go back for the finish product.

I’ve been a client of Eddie’s for many many years, and there isn’t any other piercer I would recommend to family and friends. He’s incredibly professional and insightful. I always trust his process and recommendations. Even when I walk in not having a clue what I’m there for, he’s patient and walks me through my options. He makes me feel calm and comfortable when I’m anxious about pain. His sense of humor makes getting pierced fun for me (I hate pain). The jewelry he uses has never given me any issues. I’ve kept some original jewelry in for years with no problems. He has many options to chose from and explains what he thinks would look best, which he is never wrong about. He’s informative about aftercare, and even checks in a few weeks later with you. Anytime I, or someone I referred, sees Eddie, we always walk out very happy. Again, there is no other piercer in my book.

My husband and I have been coming here for our tattoos. The staff are very good and friendly. Its a friendly atmosphere. Ceasar is great!!

Very friendly staff that knew what they were doing. They gave greatt advice and the piercing I got was quick and painless.

The spot for professional tattoos. A1 service every time. Shout out OBET TATTOOS!!

Great people, Eddie has done great work on some piercing for my 15 year old. What I really liked is the 101 teaching he gave her to look out for in the future when getting piercings and how to look out for sterile tools. We were happy with our service we went back for a 2 nd piercing and are planning for the 3rd.

Got a couple piercings yesterday and loved my experience! Very welcoming and good conversation with the guys

Eddie is an amazing piercer! He fixed a bunch of piercings that were messed up from another shop, and gave me some healthy new ones that I’ve had no problems with! Very professional and gentle, and will explain everything to you! Highly recommend!

Went in last minute to get a tattoo and Diana did mine. She did the exact tattoo I wanted and was patiently doing my tattoo because it was my first one. She was super friendly and took her time. She kept asking if I was holding up which I appreciate because I know some friends who have gotten tattoos and their artist just rush it through. Tattoo didn’t really hurt and I was very satisfied. I would recommend this place!!!!

Have been pierced by Eddie 4x over the past few years and he’s always very professional. He talks me through each step and makes me feel comfortable, even when I am nervous (I still get nervous every time I get pierced) . I have always been very happy with my end results and have never had any issues. The one time that I did go to another shop to pierce my septum the piercer messed up and had to re-pierce me. I will never stray from Eddie again!

I took my daughter to get a piercing on 7/16/20 at 7:15 pm.The guy who did her piercing was Kool AZZ HELL,they need more people like that.sorry cant say his name with out his concern.

Absolutely LOVE the tattoos i got.

Had my piercing done in March-April. Had my appointment cancelled twice due to piercer, Eddie, not communicating with me. He was sick once and the other time he went to a tattoo convention but we had an appointment. I had 3 ear piercings done.This should have been a red flag. Had these rubies in that fell out easily and he said they were discontinued... meaning I shouldnt have to pay for new ones less than a month later? Wrong. Another red flag. set up my follow up for new earrings and shorter ones, he didnt have the ones I asked for, so I settled for other ones and paid. I didnt like the playful environment from the place. Would not recommend to young girls. He put his hands on me inappropriately thinking I was going along with his joke. I was not. He has thick fingers so he struggles to put in earrings so the session takes longer.

Awesome experience, clean and friendly staff! They make you feel at home and comfortable while getting your tattoo! Ivan did my tattoo he had a great humble personality and was very creative with the idea of tattoo I wanted. Will definitely be back and recommend my friends and family!!!

Great experience for my 1st tattoo. My tattoo artist was Diana Regalado and her artwork is amazing, precise, and clean. Diana and the the other artist are very professional and have a good vibe in this place. Definitely recommend and cannot wait for the next tattoo experience.

Im pretty sure people have different experiences here, but Id like to share mine. I came in on a Saturday to get my septum repierced. The place looks clean and they use sterilized equipment. My issue was that my piercing started hurting for the next two days. I did not move or touch it because it is a fresh wound. I had to take it out the 2nd night because it hurt too much, it felt like a little ball was forming close to the tip of my nose. I came in the next day for help, explained ive cleaned it with saline solution. Mentioned that i used antibacterial soap, mind you it was only once. Thats all it took for my piercer to deflect the situation and blame me for irritating it and causing trauma. He did not look like he was looking to even hear me out, his demeanor was defensive. I understand it is their work but if someone comes it with a complaint or says they are hurting you hear your customer out and show empathy. Instead I was being talked over, and told that I irritated it and probably moved it. Assuming things instead of even asking me. I explained that when the piercing did not go in, the hole was not straight or easy to maneuver, obviously i did not touch it or play with it like it was assumed. Also never even looked at my nose, again i mentioned it was hurting, youd think they would want to take a look to check everything is okay no??? Anyways at the end i could not stand their dominating demeanor (body language, and tone), was told to let it heal and come back. I did not appreciate the customer service provided. That is all folks.

John Sundara does some amazing work

Brought my daughter to this place for an industrial piercing. My cousin Maribel recommended the place. Charly was my daughter’s piercer. He was very professional. He asked us to view the machine which sterilizes the needles and other equipment. He wore gloves and was very careful and sanitary throughout he process. I think I was more nervous than her but he made us feel more relaxed. After, he explained how to take care of the piercing and was open to questions. I totally recommend this place.

Very clean and a unique and enjoyable group of artists!

Very professional staff made getting a nose ring easy.

A serious gem of personable and professional artists.(Great experience doing a walk-in and scheduled tattoo work)

I went in there to get my nose re-pierced because the first people had messed it up and they were so nice about it and explain to me how the other shop didn’t do it right I love them.

The tattoos they made are really awesome and also the ink! Good service! Real professional piercing and tattoo artists, and they don’t look ghetto 😂 y hablan español

I was very excited to try them out with getting a tattoo for my birthday, it was very upsetting that the male who answered the phone was very rude when asking questions and was not very informative. Now on to find another shop..

Staff is hilarious. You definitely get good vibes. Their music is a little of everything which is nice. The place is clean and the work is amazing.

Great inkslingers comfortable setting. I really like and recommend this place. Caesar is the man but the other artists are dynamite as well. You will enjoy your visit.

This place is top notch, I definitely recommend it. Caesar is a great artist. Created my tat from scratch and did a great job.

Quick service. Professional staff.

I came here for a tattoo with my friend and for my lip piercing. Charlie is a great guy, he makes you feel comfortable and does an amazing job. Its been two weeks since my inverted lip and havent had any issues. Theyre really nice and clean. Definitely worth it.

Thank you to John Sundara @johnsundara and Archer Avenue Tattoo. Super clean studio, genuine people, solid music, wonderful experience. Johns work is second to none. He listened to my ideas and came up with a design that was exactly what I wanted. No BS, just great work and conversation. A super guy and talented artist. Thanks again!

1ST TATTOO AND I LOVE IT. THE ARTIST WAS VERY STEADY AND IT DIDNT HURT 1 BIT. WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE LOOKING TO GET A TATTOO AND I WILL BE BACK.

Clean shop, very friendly atmosphere. Ive gotten 4 tattoos done here and my daughter 3, we plan on going back for more. Highly recommend Ceasar Moreno or John Sundara, they are great! Although everyone there does awesome work from what I see.

I did a walk in tattoo and I believe his name was Pedro was very professional, a little soft spoken but he made sure I was comfortable the entire way. He gave me a lot of creative input while also letting me make a lot of choices. Ill be back!

Got my first nose piercing here for my 16th birthday! Absolutely loved it, clean & friendly environment. Works fast and makes sure everythings safe for the customer

Very clean place ..staff cool peoples

This place is clean and clearly they are professionals with their work

Lil John is great! Hes professional and an amazing artist.

First the dude Dave Lobes who actually did my tatto was more busy looking at the tatto of a other girl than actually doing mine. The tatto came out ok but after 2 dayds started fading big time. please reconsider going to this place at least dont get a tatto with Dave Lobes.

Dirty lou is the best straight up!

Clean place with a friendly staff. Highly recommend artist Caesar Moreno for his patience, ideas, professionalism and great art work.

Good work and plp,love their work get more

Very clean and professional work highly recommend Cesar.

Got my first tattoo here and loved it!
