I was a little hesitant at first glance entering the building, but the welcoming atmosphere and amount of attention the employees gave me quickly took my hesitation away. Emily was an awesome tattoo artist. She worked with me to get the exact tattoo my wife and I wanted. I would recommend Alpha and Omega, and specifically Emily to anyone looking for a beautiful tattoo.
I have gotten three tattoos at Alpha and Omega and had extremely positive experiences during two of them!! They have very fair prices and all of the employees are super friendly. You can tell they care about doing a quality job!!! Truly glad I got my first tattoos done there! (The only artist I had a somewhat negative experience is no longer employed there). ALL the tattoos I have gotten have healed without any issue though.They have also helped me with nose piercing issues and we’re very informative. I attached pictures of the two awesome tattoos I’ve had done there!!
Hunter gave me my piercing and he created conversation and made me feel comfortable while getting my naval piercing. He was giving a step by step as he went along just to make sure I knew what was going on. There were also two apprentices in the room (I’m sorry I forgot their names!!) but they were really kind and also helped calm my nerves as I got a needle shoved through my belly button. It was a fun experience and I will definitely come back to either get another piercing or possibly even a tattoo :)
Got a few tattoos done by Hunter as a walk in. Very professional, friendly, and quick. He was also helpful when it came to questions. Would definitely recommend.
I got my first tattoo here. They were amazing, the staff was extremely kind and explained everything. They open al of the materials and dispose of them in front of you to show their sanitary. I loved their dedication to making sure it was what I wanted. They also talked to me during it so I got to know them as well.
They are very much respectful, kind and sweet. They allowed me to use the restroom and made me feel at home for my lil time being there
The best! I was greeted with respect the vibes was great! Aron was cool! Hunter was the most polite artist I’ve came across I’m so happy with my tattoo! Lenseed was dope! Me an my friends appreciate them! We are definitely coming back! 😍
I came in for a jewelry change yesterday and Keith set me up with some some nice barbells. I had that guy running around the shop trying to find what I needed and he stayed professional the entire time. He was always careful to ensure my comfort and talked me through each step. I will continue to return here for my piercing needs every time.
We came in as a walk-in, Hunter pierced both mine and my sisters belly buttons on Wednesday and helped calm us down while talking us through the whole procedure. It was a great experience and we even had two apprentices in there to learn how to do them eventually which is really cool. Will definitely be back for any future piercings wanted
Amy did an amazing job on my sons piece that was a memorial to my brother who passed 11/1/20! She was awesome to work with,--friendly, chill, just good peeps! She took her time. & slayed it! Thanks so much for taking this on. last minute for us! YOURE A ROCKSTAR!
The service here was amazing. I came in to get my medusa pierced and was helped by Amy she was along with the staff there was very comforting supportive, and kept me educated on what i need to do to take care of it. They were super caring and will definitely make you feel very welcomed and comfortable!
I’ve had to fairly decent sized pieces done at this shop. Haven’t had any bad experiences their good people and super clean. Always sure to show you your clean new needles. Hunter Vandermeer just started my sleeve and I love it get with him!!
Great place and super nice and friendly, I like how they always have someone open to talk to about tattoos. I’ve gotten 4 tattoos and some piercing done they are super good about keeping everything clean and sterile. Love the place!
They did a great job on my tattoo and families tattoos as well. Kept the conversation going and had fun. Always checked to make sure I was comfortable and it wasn’t becoming irritated
Very professional, provided good aftercare instructions, kind and friendly staff, even offered me water and made sure I was comfortable while waiting! Gave me my first change out for free. Awesome place!
I highly recommend alpha & omega for all your piercing and tattoo needs. Justin is great with customer service, he made me feel so comfortable!!
Hunter was so great for my first tattoo and they gave me a free belly button ring, will definitely go back if i get more tattoos!!
I ended up here to get my medusa re-pierced. They took care of me especially making sure I was educated on oral piercings. I loved the energy these guys brought to me when I first stopped in. A few months later, I’m back looking to change my jewelry and yet again, they went above and beyond, helping me find the perfect piece and even helped me change the jewelry because I was having such a hard time doing it myself. You will have a lot of fun and know you’re taken care of no matter what service you’re getting! 10/10 would recommend ☺️
I brought my daughter in to have a piercing done. She has many already and figured we would give this place a chance since theyre close to home and had good reviews. Well, were never going back to this place again.. the Piercer that was there didnt even legit work there, the place was a mess of clustered businesses wrapped into one with cabinets of random sales items that didnt even pertain to some of the business they do.. The Piercer was unprofessional, allowing hand sanitizer in placement of actual hand washing, dropping the jewelry a few times as well as using profanity around a minor in a professional setting and it took over 10 minutes and 3 different people to get the jewelry in properly. My daughter was in tears because of how they handled everything, thankfully it wasnt painful.. they were just horribly unprofessional and we couldnt wait to get out of there! Granted the piercing looks fine, we just hope it heals properly! Would not recommend this place to ANYONE!
My mom and I did a walk-in for nose piercings. We were able to get in right away and had friendly service by all employees. Hunter did an amazing job with my mom as did Allison for me! Both were knowledgeable and professional and answered all of our questions. Allison also replaced my tragus piercing for free. Definitely would recommend!
Hunter did a fantastic job on my piercing. He was super funny and made it a fun experience. 10/10 a great place!
Maggie is amazing!!😍👏🏽 she always delivers what I’m looking for in my tattoos. nice, tight lines and clean work. she’s very cleanly and conscious, always shows you your new packaged needle and the disposal of it when you’re done which I love! i never feel nervous about trusting her with my body and she always pulls out great work. go see her asap!!!
Awesome place to go I went for two piercing it went do great. Friendly staff an very helpful. I will be back for more.
I would highly recommend this place to go for a tattoo or piercing. Professional yet fun and courteous, ive gotten great work done here and have had plenty of great conversations with the employees especially my man Nightwolf great man
Fantastic hole-in-the-wall sort of shop. I got my lobes pierced and a couple of tattoos on my fingers. Both experiences were quick but they made an emphasis on making sure everything was sterile. Everyone is super friendly and make great conversation. Definitely a shop at the top of my list and will absolutely be coming back.
I came for a walk in nose piercing. Hunter did an amazing job. Very professional and explained everything. I already plan on coming back for a tattoo.
I first want to say I love my tattoo. Ally which is one of the artists did an amazing job! It was my first time ever getting one and she did a great job of making sure I was comfortable. She also was very patient with me because I wasn’t quite sure where I wanted it. There’s a lot of meaning behind what I had done and she did a beautiful job of designing it. Not to mention all the other artist there are super friendly!:)
Love the energy in this place. I have had many things done from piercings to tattoos to tarot card readings. I love the unique jewelry and have bought so many different things from friends here. Brought my son one day and he even had a ball. Even test drove some motorcycles in the summer. Definitely an experience. Love and Light
I cannot speak highly enough of Alpha and Omega and all the people who work there. I have been getting tattooed by Emily there for several years now. Her work is always fantastic and if its anything less she does free touch ups on all her old tattoos. Every time I go to Alpha and Omega I know I’ll be in safe hands with genuine and extremely friendly people. I’ve never had a business I frequent often be as welcoming and friendly as Tim and all his employees. They have always been a very clean shop with great attention to safety and aftercare instructions and, since COVID, have been taking the necessary extra precautions. As well as many amazing tattoos from Emily, I’ve gotten an industrial piercing from Chano done with the same great care and attention I usually get from their staff. I also regularly purchase CBD products from them, which are fantastic and well priced. If you’re looking for a new tattoo or piercing this is definitely the best place to go in Grand Rapids, hands down. Here are photos of a few of my tattoos and one of my industrial piercing I got.
Hunter did an amazing job, he was really chill and funny. Great experience and the artists we’re nice.
Randy and Hunter was the best they had so much knowledge and let me know every step of the way what they were doing
The smoke shop is great, it had awesome glass including a fumed bubbler I purchased. Reasonable price too $50 for a piece I would easily value at $80
I had lost my nose earring and they helped me right away ! The vibe is so cool in here and I love their shop collection ! There’s so much cool jewelry, i definitely will be coming here more often.
Great experience! Very professional and friendly. Super happy with my tats!
Hunter was awesome! I came in to get my nose pierced and it was a super quick, clean and painless process. Everyone there is so friendly and genuinely down to earth. They always have some good tunes playing and tons of cool art to look at too. Definitely coming back again! ☺️
My daughter and I decided at the last minute to get our noses pierced and Alpha & Omega got us in right away as a walk-in. They were so professional and put me at ease since this was my first time and I was a bit nervous. Hunter and Allison were great and I would definitely recommend for all ages! P.S. This is my husband’s account (lol)!
Go see Cassie. Nice people. Good vibe.
Got my very 1st tattoo today. Thank you Hunter VanderMeer. I love them. You did a great job. I will be back soon. Thank you.
Hunter, Chad and Brandy were amazing! Hunter helped me pick out a new nose ring and changed it out for me. Super friendly, fast service and extremely clean. Highly highly recommended!!!
Friendly clean great place would come back here again
So this was a walk in and I’m so glad that I came in.Jennifer was amazing so fun. I absolutely love my tattoo and I can’t wait to get another I will definitely recommend. I want another one now.
Amy Edmondson was professional, knowledgeable and helpful with the nose piercing. She may have told us not to touch it 100 times LOL very sterile
I just had my third tattoo from Adam Justus started over the weekend. I was in last month and had an infinity symbol and taco tattoo done. Both have healed beautifully and the taco is AMAZING! I cant wait to get back and finish the Seuss piece we started. The shop is clean and the atmosphere is welcoming and fun. As soon as I walk through the door it feels likes I belong. Excellent shop with great artists and hours!
Absolutely AMAZING team! Would recommend them to anyone!!
Justin Hendrix did a very good job helping me out and helping me with my pericings. I highly recommend this place.
Artist tiny Tim did my piercing very professional and clean shop with great pricing will definitely be returning.
Great experience 🙂justin has been super helpful throughout the whole time. i’ve gotten multiple tattoos and piercings done here and i’ve been satisfied with every one of them, highly recommended!
The shop has a very comfortable vibe to it and the customer service is excellent.

These guys rock! Thanks for helping me with my jewelry today!
Got a piercing here done by Justin last week, very clean and professional. Also just got my piercing changed by an apprentice here, a little struggle to get the jewelry into place but overall great experience :)
Never a bad experience in this family oriented tattoo shop! Some of the best variety as far as artist and details. Anything you want. They’ll make it happen.
Such a cool atmosphere with kind and knowledgeable staff, can’t say enough good things about my artist Jennie Jacobitz! (@omni.tattoos on insta) Amazing work and just a beautiful personality, I can’t wait to come back and get some more cool stuff in the future! :)
Best shop hands down...coolest artist ever!!
Emily and Justin fixed awful work from screaming needle and changed my piercing for free and cleaned it up great job!!!
These guys are AWESOME! Words can’t explain my appreciation! I went to multiple piercing places looking for advice and these guys where so understanding and helpful! GREAT! Thanks again guys 💯💯🙏🏾❤️
Got my nose pierced by Hunter. The whole experience was very smooth. He took the time to answer my questions and explain each step. I am very happy with the piercing!
Great place, really helped us with an awesome piercing.
The chad was very friendly such a great worker very professional so sweet and nice ❤️🙌😉
Super fun, yet professional place to go to for your body mod needs! Everyone there is super knowledgeable and helpful🙂
Went in to buy some jewelry, the employees were super helpful.
Went in with my friend as a walk in. I got my nose pierced and she got a conch ear piercing. The person who did my piercing was Chano. He was great! I tend to faint and get dizzy. He was very attentive and helped me when I started to get woozy. Offered me water and let me take my time until I was ready to go. The care and quality of my piercing was very professional and because of my experience, I do plan on going back for other piercings and tattoos. I felt safe and cared for. Thank you Alpha and Omega 🥰❤
Just got my helix piercing done today and it was great, very professional and I am definitely gonna get another helix pricing done when the first one I just got done heals. Great Place
This is one AWESOME PLACE ALL the staff are AWESOME A Must go to plca and get your tattoos done
Freaky and fast customer service always come here
I walked in with a few friends four or five weeks ago to get my conch pierced and there was minimal wait time. I’m also super weird w needles and my piercer made sure I was comfortable and the entire place was very clean. super super friendly staff and I’ll definitely go back for any other piercings in the future.
Trey is sick as hell !!!!! He does AMAZING work I’ve gotten 3 tattoos by him. 100/10 recommend. Hunter has done great work on me as well, and does very good piercings. He’s very kind and respectful and I would tell anyone to go to either of them they’re amazing
Love the artist they do great work and make sure your comfortable at all times
I have gotten 2 tattoos so far from Trey and he is an absolutely amazing artist!! he is very precise with his work and makes sure u r comfortable throughout the whole process. he is also incredibly talented with designing tattoos as well! i highly recommend alpha and omega and Trey to anyone that is thinking about getting a tattoo anytime soon
Aaron did a kickass job! Most definitely will be going back to him for more
I have never had a better piercer experience in my life! Hunter is the best! He is nice, patient, and talks to you as if he’s catching up with an old friend. It was my first nose piercing and I had some complications. But he helped me along every step of the way! I’m going to Alpha Omega for all my tats and piercings from now on!
Great customer service, friendly answered all of my questions. Nice atmosphere
I was in GR visiting one of my best friends and we decided we wanted to get matching tattoos! This was my first tattoo so i was a little nervous but Hunter was super chill and helped me relax. He did a great job and would highly recommend. He also does a free touch up on the tattoo!!
Hunter! Hes the maaaan. LolDid two of my tattoos and 2 of my nose piercings. He walked me through everything. Kept it real clean and professional. Funny man. I love it here, good vibes and good people. Everyone!
They were very kind and it was an amazing experience! They did an amazing job with everything and made the process very chill.
