Meg was AWESOME! Wandered in on a whim looking to get my noise pierced and she was super cool, made me feel very comfortable, made me laugh even though I was a bit nervous, and gave clear, simple instruction for after care. I wish I would have found Freakshow a while ago for other piercings and tattoos, would have been a different experience if I went with these folks from the get go. Keep it up!

Got my smiley done here! Love the atmosphere, everyone was so nice and I felt safe and welcomed. It was $25 with jewelry, but remember to always tip your piercer. Highly recommend this pace!

This shop is very clean and is a really cool environment. I went in to set up septum appointment, but they just took me right on back! JoJo was way cool and got the piercing done fast and its looking great. The price is way better than any of the other places I’ve checked around. Definitely will go back and highly recommend you check them out.

My friends and I went in for nose piercings and a cartilage piercing. Jojo was super friendly and well informed about piercings. His room was clean and everything was properly disinfected between piercing my friends and I. He was super gentle and quick. He even cleared up some concerns that we had. I loved that his thorough explanation of after care consisted of a card with after care tips and a cute post card. I would recommend Jojo to any one getting a piercing for their first time as he is hilarious and takes away the nervousness and he is very professional.

I come here all the time. Ive gotten all 9 of my tattoos done by Casey here. He is wonderful, super open to ideas. Everytime someone recommends a place for tattoos and piercings, this is the place. Shae and JoJo both have given me plenty of piercings. all who work here are super awesome, they make you excited and feel comfortable in their shop. 10/10 best place ever.

After talking with my artist for about a week I went in for my appointment and everything was going smoothly. While getting my tattoo my artist kept going on about how he hates simple tattoos ( as I got a symbolic message consisting of lines) and that it was essentially a waist of his talents. And all he did to wrap my tattoo was he just put on a piece of cling wrap without wiping my tattoo off or anything. The other two artists that were in the studio were so nice and professional so I know this is a good place to get a tattoo, I just got stuck with an unprofessional artist. Like I would have much rather gone to a different shop than my artist tell me that my tattoo is boring and in his own words “ small tattoos like this are just kindove dumb ya know?” Idk

Solid piercing experience, it hasnt been healing as well as I would like but the prices are absolutely unbeatable. That also may be my fault, overall, I would recommend

Review №10

Terrible experience overall... my tattoo is half complete and Im waiting for a removal consultation. I lost track of how many bathroom/smoke breaks were taken in that 2 hour period. What should have taken no more than 2 hours is only half way done. I wish I wasnt so passive and I wish I had left immediately when I first realized it was a terrible idea. Save yourself, your time, and your money. Go somewhere else.

There is a reason you see so many reviews raving about Jojo. I got my septum pierced by him today and it was the best piercing experience I’ve had. He is insanely friendly and the shop is sanitary/feels comfortable in the midst of COVID. The price was unbeatable, and I’d highly recommend getting any piercings done here. Also, leave your piercers good tips!!

Review №21

Honestly i love this place i’ve gone several times and recommend others. i would love to return but the piercers need better techniques. placements are perfect but the angles they pierce at are not. i have both a paralyzed eyebrow and nostril from lack of technique.professional piercers should know facial muscles and how to avoid paralyzation of these muscles so my face doesn’t feel numb anytime i feel emotions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i have a solid piercing background working with top quality professionals in a bigger city and have around 2 dozen piercings myself. i know good work when i see it.i’d love to hope once my (3rd) nostril ring closes i can return to get it repierced but i cannot trust that will happen. so i’m walking away from this once-beloved studio. i got my first nose ring 6 years ago and was heavily informed on the way noses are pierced. this is NOT it.

JoJo is absolutely amazing! He’s a great guy and when I told him how nervous I was he kept everything light hearted and was cracking jokes the whole time. He made me feel very comfortable and explained everything, and made sure I understood after care, he was very quick, and just all around provided a great experience. I would recommend Freakshow for any of your needs whether it’s piercings or tattoos, definitely one of the best!

Review №27

I absolutely love the staff here & they have an incredibly welcoming, chill vibe. I only wish the piercings were good quality! I’ve had 2 done (1 cartilage, 1 lobe) and had to take both out after a year of trying to get them to heal. The person who pierced me was incredibly accommodating, I just don’t think the jewelry they use works for my body. If you’re someone with sensitive ears definitely go for a place that offers silver jewelry

I got my tragus pierced here 8 years ago by Jojo and it is still one of my favorite piercings. Ive recently got some lobe piercings by Megan and was pleased with their covid precautions. I love that they do walk-ins instead of having to schedule an appointment. Its always a quick and easy process. They are clean and friendly and have always been my go to place in Fort Collins!

Review №38

My 15 year old wanted her belly button pierced. After calling around, we found freakshow to be one of few places that do a piercing on someone under 18. Upon arrival, we were greeted and waited outside (thanks corona virus) the weather was nice anyway. We were greeted by Jo-Jo who explained everything and went over paperwork. He was professional and funny. He did a great job with the girls (my daughters friend and her mom came as well) And came outside to explain aftercare as well. I’m not sure I’ll need any services here in the future? However, I highly recommend Jo-Jo and his staff for any services they provide.

Review №39

Wow I was so nervous for getting my septum pierced and they made it so easy. A mere 25$ too!!! Amazing quality, great staff, timely service, I couldn’t have asked for better. I would recommend them to a friend in a second and will be sure to return if I get another piercing

I’m from Texas and came to the shop as a last result I went two other two shops they made me wait over 20 minutes while sitting outside and never check on me. So I went over to FreakShow and Shae did my piercing and was quick and easy. She was friendly, super nice and great process of getting it done right away. If I’ll get another piercing in Colorado I’ll definitely go back to her. Will recommend to anybody who needs something pierced.

A friend and I went here for a walk-in tattoo. My artist was Casey, who was great. He did exactly what I was hoping for in a timely manner and for a good price. I have never done a walk-in tattoo and was kind of nervous, but I am pleasantly surprised. My friends tattoo also came out great! Definitely already thinking about going back.

Review №46

My friend and I called prior to going in for a consultation and the woman we spoke with seemed very friendly over the phone. Upon walking in we were greeted as as if we were lowlifes causing trouble. We expressed interest in getting tattoos to celebrate my friends birthday. The gentlemans demeanor completely changed upon finding out that the tattoo I wanted was to celebrate my pride as a gay man and he was completely rude and disrespectful to me and my friend. Would not recommend going to a shop when the person altering your body and putting art in your skin wont treat you with respect or address you with a kind and polite tone.

Review №47

Jojo is the absolute best!! Ive gone in twice (once for septum piercing and another time for dermal removal Id had for two years that was rejecting). He explains everything in so much detail and is by far the best piercer Ive been to. Moved here from Texas and still, hes the damn best! Will definitely be going back for more when my dermal heals up. Thanks guys!

Got my venom bites pierced here a month ago (I can’t for the life of me remember my piercer’s name- she was amazing, though!). The piercer who did them was great, I was really nervous going into it and she explained everything about getting them so well that it calmed me down almost instantly. The whole experience was quick, painless, and easy. They’ve healed perfectly with zero issues and they look awesome, I love them! I’ve had almost all of my piercings done at Freakshow and I’d recommend this shop a million times.

I got my first Tattoo here 2 years ago. They did a amazing job and walked me through it. My Tattoo still looks amazing and I get compliments on it all the time.

Review №66

Where do I even start? I love it here! Im a major piercing enthusiast, so Ive gone into my fair share of piercing and tattoo shops. When you first get there, the door has some cute little sayings on it that will make you laugh, easing any tension you may have about getting a tattoo or piercing. As you walk in, youre warmly greeted by a variety of tattoo and piercing artists. Ive gotten 2 of my own piercings here. The first one I got was my tongue, pierced by Twiggy - or Shayna on their site. She is the absolute best. Not only is she a sweetheart, but she makes sure youre comfortable before continuing with the process. She did an amazing job, making the piercing swift and simple, quickly exchanging the needle for the bar and off I was with a bottle of piercing care and a new piercing! The second piercing of mine was done by James, who not only pierced my eyebrow but the brow of my partner. He did a great job of making us comfortable and laugh, easing the tension of my partner, who had never gotten professionally pierced. He answered any questions we had, and let us know to call the shop if we had any issues. Apart from my own two piercings, Ive recommended the shop to anyone and everyone who asks where to get a piercing, and have brought 4 different friends there to get theirs done. All in all, this is one of my favorite piercing shops and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to get poked!

I absolutely love the service here! Jojo and Meg are the absolute best piercers Ive ever had the pleasure of working on me. Every piercing Ive ever gotten here heals phenomenally and I have no issues with them. I highly recommend coming here for any piercing you want done and I recommend them to all my friends and family as well. Ive had my lip pierced, a few piercings in my ear, even my nipples pierced, and most recently my eyebrow pierced here and they took expert care of me. Theyre very knowledgeable of all piercings and how to take care of them. Im never worried about price gouging I know for a fact that I will go in and be taken care of without. It costing me an arm and a leg for an amazing piercing their prices are very reasonable and they take such good care of you! Thank you so much for taking care of me through so many piercings!

Review №72

Jojo is the best! He listened when I told him that I get light headed when I get piercings. He has a physician’s table and let me lie down. He showed me all of the instruments before he pierced. Then we just sat and visited until my head quit swimming. He’s just a nice person to deal with.

Review №73

I have been coming here for a long time to get tattoos and piercings. Mostly tattoos. When I called the other day to schedule a tattoo with my usual artist I was told he no longer worked here. I was super scared to let another artist go to town on my arm but Mikes book and work online looked good so I decided to give him a chance. Best thing I ever did! He did such an amazing job on my tattoo!!! I actually came back two days in a row. The first tattoo was 3 hours with lots of detail and the second was some script to go with it. I am so happy with his work and his personality is great! Super nice guy! Everything you’d want in an artist. I’ll be coming back to Mike for all my tattoo needs! Highly recommended! Thanks Mike!

My boyfriend and I came in for walk in s today. Jeremy did both of our tattoos and they both came out awesome! He is a great artist and seems to be very down to earth.

I got my first tattoo from Casey over a year ago. It was a great experience, so I went back a few times for more. He suggested one of them and drew it for me. I liked it so much I had him go ahead and tattoo his design. Even a year later, Caseys artwork still looks great. I will definitely go back for more in the future.

I went in to get my belly button pierced and left feeling happy. Jojo was fantastic, hilarious and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He was really prepared and wasnt rushed.

Review №89

Freakshow is the best!! All of the staff is extremely friendly and courteous, the shop is kept extremely clean, and the artists have an insane amount of talent.I just had a 6 hour piece finished up by Casey and he was fantastic. I walked in with an idea of what I wanted, but when I came back to see what Casey had drawn up I was blown away. He incorporated all the elements I wanted, but it was so much better than I had imagined.That tattoo process was great. I had the outline done in one sitting, and came back a second time for the color. The detail is incredible, all the lines are straight (even though I flinched a few times), it has flawless shading, and impeccable color. I couldnt be more pleased with my new tattoo!I absolutely would not go anywhere else, and would recommend this shop and Casey to anyone looking for a professional custom tattooing experience.

Review №95

I want to start off by saying I got my piercing here a couple months ago and it was great! Everyone who pierces here is cool and makes you feel comfortable and at ease so I would recommend coming here for piercings 100%.As for my tattoo though... not only is part of it missing (even though it was on the stencil) the man who did my tattoo was rude and did not understand the fact that he is giving me art that I want and his opinion should not matter. When I pointed out his attitude he said it was just him as a person, so dont expect much better treatment if Jeremy is your artist (most the people on these comments complain about him also so that really shows his abilities). I didnt even know his name until half way through my tattoo when I had to ask what it was. Not friendly, not helpful, not a good environment; he even complained about the fact that my tattoo was pretty much just a basic girl tattoo and I was the same as every other girl who walked through the door (excuse me, am I not PAYING for this?). It was also over priced... $80 for a tiny 2inch tattoo is up charging (I have 2 larger tattoos and they didnt even cost that much) AND as I said it was not even completed and frankly I just didnt want to get into it with this guy to fix it once I noticed. Not the environment you want to be in for a tattoo ever... In fact, I went and got it fixed at Tribal Rites and they have 5 stars from me, always. I got my first tattoos there and would recommend it as a million times better alternative any day as a place for professionals who care about the people they are tattooing.

I received my first tattoo here. I got coordinates done by Jeremy, he was super friendly and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. However, the lines were not as clean as I have seen or as I believe they could have been. Some of the numbers were slightly uneven and not identical and a period is also missing in between some of the numbers. I still like the tattoo and what it means to me, but I would have liked a cleaner piece of art.
