I got both of my nostrils pierced here and Aaron did an amazing job! They healed quickly and were a 3/10 in pain! He also helped because I had gotten my septum done at Blue Panda and the piercer there did a horrible job. When Aaron saw the horrible job the other piercer did he fixed it, explained what the other piercer did wrong, and found a way to fix it. Absolutely amazing atmosphere and overall a very nice and helpful guy! I definitely recommend going here for any piercing!

Do not recommend got my belly button piercing there over a month ago and it hasnt healed at all. The ring was cheap I just got a new one hopefully that helps. Also, its crooked it didnt go through the dot he marked which is the last thing i care about at the moment but it is a little annoying when i look at it

Loved the atmosphere of the location and the artists there. I am so happy with the work done by Bubba. I will more than likely fly back into El Paso just to come back to get tattooed here again.

I gave the guy the picture, a simple heart with wings thinking how can he screw this up? The wings are shorter and he shaded them in when I told him I wanted the exact ones in the picture. Its okay but not what I wanted.

I absolutely loved everything about this place. They were very helpful, safe and gentle throughout my piercing process. I just recently had my septum pierced with them and I plan to have my future piercings done with them. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Review №27

I went in to get a touch up on a small tattoo on my hand that I did on myself and ended up in tears on how messed up they left it. It was composed of a few straight lines. I was even complemented on how straight they were. I just wanted it to be darker and more uniform since it was a stick an poke. The first indication that I should have left immediately was when the little bench I had my hand on moved right as the guy was going in to touch it up which made him poke me and he had to make those lines longer to cover it up. My tattoo ended up being thicker, uneven, and way more crooked than I would have ever wanted. I can’t wait for it to fully heal so I can get it removed. I’m incredibly upset that now I’m going to spend even more money to remove it.

This place is amazing!!! I had my tattoo done by Kenny Vandagriff. He did an AMAZING job. The watercolor and line work on my tattoo are perfect. He was very nice and the other staff that would come over and talk to me in the process were also nice. It was a great experience. I decided last minute to get my tongue pierced as well, and Aaron did a great job! My tongue piercing and tattoo have healed perfectly with the directions they gave for Aftercare. I found my go to place for any work I need done in the future!

Called multiple times on multiple days and no one answered or called me back. Sent several Facebook messages and got no response either. Had two of my friends call and message and no one got back to them either. Super unprofessional.

Review №36

Bad bad bad. Don’t go here for piercings. Just had to go to a real *professional* to have the piercing removed only a half hour after leaving this place. The hole going in was higher than the hole coming out of the back of my ear, and both piercings were completely off! I left in tears. I called later in the day to see if there was anyway to refund me, solely on the principal of good business ethics to which they denied. So wrong...Lack of customer service and cleanliness tops my experience off too and will not be returning!Thanks guys, for stealing a veteran’s hard-earned money! 👍🏻

I dont even know any of the employees names, since they werent very friendly at all. It was my first time getting a piercing, which I got on my lip. They literally just pierced my lip and said I could leave. I wasnt asked if I wanted to see more jewelry or if I had questions on how to clean my piercing. I had to ask when I could change the jewelry instead of being informed. I felt pushed out, so I didnt bother to ask anymore questions. Ill definitely be going somewhere else to change my lip ring.

Review №51

First I have to say I cannot comment on the artistry of the tattooers or piercer...I CAN, however comment on their customer service...or lack thereof. I’ve been wanting to get pierced and had this place highly recommended or rather their piercer miss aaron DuC-yo-messages. I called the shop initially a couple times with no answer and then resigned to contacting the piercer himself...I expressed my enthusiasm as well as the praise he received from this ominous ‘Buster’ character from another tattoo shop...all to be left on ‘Seen’ and never a response. You would think with as cold of a shoulder the vibe of this place gave, that I f***ed their mothers and stole their women and now their children call me ‘daddy’ 😂😂😂. But I have no ties to anyone that works here, was but a potential customer...happily took my business elsewhere.

Only thing I dont like, BIG TURNOFF, is the filthy music they play.Too loud, as well.Should consider that their customers are ALL AGES, not everyone likes to listen to this trash!On another note, Ken is great, and the staff is pretty friendly......Get some different tunes on!!!!!😜

Review №57

One of the best tattoo shops in el paso. George Galindo had been doing this for a long time and his artistry is second to none. George only hires artists that have just graduated art school and they have to complete a 6 month apprentice program. No previous tattoo shop jumpers here. All the artists here are extremely talented. The owner is a good Christian morale man. I will return.

Review №58

Would not recommend! Has a very awkward and unwelcoming ambiance. Yes a few are good artists I have to say. Also the piercer is never there when I wanted to get a piercing, they would always say come back which is inconvenient and unprofessional when it happened at least 3 times. Id say there are definitely better, more professional shops in El Paso then for the high prices there.

Review №59

I got my lip pierced a few days ago I let him know this wasn’t my first time and it swelled pretty bad so with this knowledge he still put in a short bar. It swelled badly today so I called ahead so that he can remove it when I got there they told me he left to get more supplies and that there is no one here to help me . Poor customer they are terrible with having the supplies together avoid getting piercing there

Review №60

The artist I had did not give me the tattoo I wanted. I showed him a picture and said I want it to look just like this and instead he took the easy way out trying to hurry and finish me since I was a walk in. I got an American flag and some of the stars are dots, the outline is thicker in places than others, the shading goes outside the outline and after talking to other shops and people I known with more experience getting tattoos I found out I was overcharged.

Review №63

Soo what I hate is that I never actually got a tattoo from here because the artist never contacted me. Here I am willing to pay but the artist never took the time to reach out and actually set up an appointment. This is AFTER I laid out exactly what I wanted and put a deposit down.. and then they get mad when you dont tip. Its called customer service.

I had these posers tattoo my little girls name on my arm and the lines came out all crooked. Not only did they mess up my arm but they tricked me into paying way more and charged a Dr.s wage.What goes up always comes down and these guys will eventually burn their reputation among El Paso.

Review №82

I was disappointed with my experience. At first, the artist quoted me 200 dollars for a single color 4x4 tattoo. After settling on 150 dollars he rushed through my tattoo in 30 minutes. The lines are crooked and uneven. The outline is blotchy and uneven.The artist was standoffish and I felt like I was dealing with a pawn shop instead of a tattoo parlor.DONT BE FOOLED. There are artists at this tattoo shop that do great work (i.e. John Sunderland). Take a look at his portfolio.There is not good consistency between artists. I would consider a different shop or at least research each artists portfolio.I was offered a free touch-up, but Im considering paying for a touch-up somewhere else.

Review №83

Came at 8:20pm on a Tuesday & they were not open after I had called earlier and they said they closed at 9pmReply to owner: No, I had called earlier that day to both montwood and hawkins locations to ask what time the one on montwood closes and both people said 9pm. Also when I arrived at the montwood location, your door said you close at 9pm. BTW yes my review does count because I was going to get a piercing and wasted my gas driving there only to find that I was lied to twice about the closing time.

Had an appointment with artist “Ken”. Waited an hour past my appointment because he was working with someone. Asked how much longer it would be, told me another half hour which is ridiculous and unprofessional. Will never recommend anyone to go here, take your money to an establishment that respects their clients.
