Cleanliness: Very clean and well organized space“

“I went to get my lip re-pierced, and Soey was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I would most definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.“

“We had the very best experience at Bang Bang. My cousin and I were lucky to get appointments with Michelle and she executed our ideas perfectly! Megan and the whole staff were amazing and put me at ease from the minute we first called, and they were still texting the next day to make sure everything was ok. I would HIGHLY recommend Bang Bang! We will be back.“

“I recently got a tattoo from Dao and they did an amazing job! They made sure throughout the tattoo process to make sure I was comfortable and encouraged me to take breaks if I needed one. I would definitely recommend coming here to get a tattoo and I especially recommend Dao and their remarkable art style!!

“I had an amazing experience at Hand of Glory! Conan was my artist for my very first tattoo, and he made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Everyone at the shop was super friendly and welcoming, which really helped ease my nerves. The tattoo turned out perfect, and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend Hand of Glory for anyone looking to get some ink done!

Cleanliness: Super clean and comfortable!

Stylist: Conan brought my vision to life! Super professional and continuously checked in to make sure I was okay. The time flew by and the tattoo turned out amazing!“

“Amazing tattoo service, Jackie is a professional and he did it so calmly, understood, answered all my questions, he is an absolutely amazing tattoo worker to work with :) will be coming here again“

“Darren is incredible! He helped me bring my vision of a phoenix to my forearm. Darren thought out the design, collaborated with me, and sketched out in advance by hand. He’s so talented, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about Japanese tattoos and tattoos in general. He was very friendly and professional the whole time.

I’d highly recommend Darren to anyone looking for a beautiful piece of art, as well as the other artists at the studio who have their own specialties.“

“When I first met Claire I had no brows and a large forehead, which made having no brows look even crazier. I found Claire at Laurel on Instagram back in 2019 and obsessed over her content of the most gorgeous and natural and PERFECT brows I'd ever seen. She came at a small price but I knew the work she did was the best I'd find anywhere else. Also, she's warm and lovely and caring and cool and has a soft touch with heavy machinery. Claire gave me my dream brows. Seriously. I used to have to draw on, using multiple pencils and brushes and makeup, with a shaky hand no less, two eyebrows every single morning before I saw anyone besides my husband, and then touch them up a couple of times a day, or I'd feel "less pretty" which is silly, because I'm still awesome. But something like eyebrows that frame your entire face, can make all the difference—especially with your own confidence in your personal/professional life. Today, I wake up and have the most perfect brows already perfectly placed on my face and I no longer even own a brow pencil. Meeting Claire is by far the best thing I've ever manifested when it comes to beauty. She's a true artist, and a loving one at that. The Laurel studio is beautiful and clean and smells like palo santo. If you're really lucky you'll get to meet Louie too, the cutest pooch in the place. Go to Laurel if you want dream brows! You'll wish you'd gone sooner. THANK YOU, Claire! xx“

“jessie did amazing work on my tattoo! jessie was super attentive and meticulous about the placement of my tat. i really appreciated how much time jessie put into the design and work. i would highly recommend getting tatted by jessie if you want someone who truly cares about the art work they’re putting on your body“

“Super nice and friendly staff! They were so gentle with my nose piercing and didn’t charge me anything to get it removed/switched out if I brought my own replacement. Jewelry is also very affordable. This will be my new go-to for all things piercings.“

“I went to the shop with my own design in hand, and I showed it to my artist, Anna. Anna's attention to detail on my tattoo was superb!!! One of my best pieces and I would come back again for my next one!“

“I was so happy to visit Hudson Beauty Bar. The place was clean and professional. Esther did a beautiful job on my brows and eyeliner. She first drew the shape so I could see it before doing them. She was gentle and the result was so pretty. I would highly recommend them. I would give more stars if possible.“

“Johnny (thorn.wolf and ghost glare) was professional, attentive, and obviously super talented. Really listened to my ideas and was super thoughtful in his planning, design, and execution. He was so gentle that I almost dozed off. I would highly recommend this shop and it’s artists. He even took the time to set up privacy screens for me. Asked me multiple times if placement was okay, checked in on my pain levels throughout my appointment. I couldn’t have asked for a better artist and place to get a tattoo. Don’t wait to book an appointment!“

“Highly recommend Inkology and Caroline. I had an image in my mind’s eye of what I wanted for my sleeve and she brought that to life. She’s an incredible artist and person!“

“Best experience azizi is a wonderful tattoo artist the work was amazing mad friendly and a great vibe make sure y’all stop at the tat room“

“I originally came in here for my forward helix however because of my ear anatomy it wouldn’t work. I really appreciate May’s honesty because I just know any other piercer would’ve done it at another place. I then asked her what would look best on my ear and she gave me a couple of suggestions. So in the end I went with my conch. Let’s just say from start to finish May was soooo sweet and super helpful. The whole process was a breeze and the piercing itself did not hurt! She made me feel super comfortable. I’m obsessed with my piercing!! Definitely recommend May for all your piercing needs!!“

“This was my second time at this tattoo shop the owner and the guys who work there are pretty attentative and helpful. Everyone there is super chill the screaming music actually help me get through my tattoo on my hand. I also got my ear pierced and he was super helpful in pricing, overall, my experience was chill and I will definitely be back very soon!!❤️“

“Liv is amazing!! We tried out the Inkbox temporary tattoo pen, which lasts about a week to ten days, and the result was incredible. The design came out looking super cool. Highly recommend stopping by this spot if you’re looking to get inked in the city!“

“Ernest my piercer is amazing! Can’t wait for Gil to work on my tattoos! Highly recommend“

“I had an outstanding experience at Anarchy Tattoo.
I wanted to add some color for a couple of tattoos I previously had and I lucked out with Dymon. He was absolutely fantastic: very professional, friendly, patient and his work absolutely great! I'm planning to come back to do more body art with him.
I also wanted to do a couple small tattoos and Dymon recommended Alex for this which was also exceptional.
In general very happy with my experience.“

“Tonight I got the $40 flash tattoos. Julia was so nice and professional. She was courteous and made sure I checked everything and was happy with placements. I would definitely schedule with Julia again“

“I got a hidden helix today and everybody who works there is such a gem, especially the person who pierced me. Definitely very knowledgeable about piercings and gave great advice on aftercare.“

“Had a great experience with Arjun this past weekend! I reached out to him with my design idea a few weeks prior and we were able to set a date. Once there it was an easy process getting set up and Arjun was prepared with questions and stencils, and helped me until I found the perfect size/placement. The tattooing itself was great, Arjun was gentle and let me know when it would get more painful. They were very accommodating and even offered to buy me dinner when we took a break. Very hospitable and kind, and the tattoo came out fantastic, I’m super satisfied and would recommend anyone come to this shop!

Requested style: Very willing to work with an idea I already had, and gave opinions when I asked! Felt very much like we were in it together.

Cleanliness: Very clean shop and workspace.“

“Got a tattoo from Mario and had the best experience, was very comfortable environment and everyone in the shop was so nice and friendly. Awesome tattoo & experience and I will be back“
