I had their piercer Jon do two of my piercings, a tongue piercing and a high nostril piercing. Used good quality jewelry, everything was very clean, and my piercings have healed/are healing very well. Really impressed with how great the service is here. Definitely going back to Jon soon!

I was just there and Rick did my Lilly tattoo. It is absolutely amazing and beautiful 😍!!! They are super friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend anyone to go there.

I honestly would not go anywhere else to get anything done! The piercer is fantastic and so is that tattoo artist clean work and the prices are unbeatable. You will not be disappointed by anyone here or the service received.

John is great, he explained everything for my daughter. Double and triple checked the placement. Told her any questions comments or concerns call him.

Very nice inside. Has a home feel to it. The people are super nice.

The piercer is SO nice. I got my septum done and he was clean, informative, and professional!

I loved rob... He was so nice n his work is off the chain... Beautiful

Rob is professional clean and entertaining!

Very professional, extremely clean. Friendly helpful staff

Louis did my tattoo yesterday, he did an Excellent job!! I had an old tattoo that he covered up & it looks Amazing!!!

The counter lady & the piercer are nice & professional when speaking directly to you, but my issue is that i ordered a nose chain for my nostril piercings in october 2020 & it is now april 2021 without it. initially they said 2 weeks for it. i went in 2 weeks later & their piercer told me metal mafia was on back order. i’ve gone in at least 2 other times to follow up & got other jewelry in the process, but they still don’t have it. they haven’t even called me once to tell me what’s up. if something is on back order from a retailer? then okay. not tainteds fault. i get that. but back order... for SIX months? highly doubtful. if anyone can order directly through that company, shipment of items must be consistent. there is no way 6 months is reasonable. & the fact tainted hasn’t called me once to touch base? they’ve now created a whole different issue. i’ve gone to tainted for 8 years, but honestly that’s 8 years too long. only 2 of my 20 tattoos from there i’m actually happy with. my first tattoo ever was from there & the artist i was talking to ab doing it cut me off & rudely said “i’ll pay you $50 to NOT get this tattoo”. a different artist for a different tattoo gave me a huge back arm piece with no color when i wanted color, then had the audacity to say “you never said you wanted color”. then i had to correct him & tell him “i absolutely did bc i couldn’t think of the name of this certain purple i wanted so i walked into your area & pointed out the color i wanted out of your specific collection”, & he says “oh yeah you’re right my bad” & that was that. said he didn’t have time to fix it. um. excuse me? screw that & screw you. i’ve had nothing but horrible experiences there. so i won’t be returning.

Ryan did such an amazing job on my tattoo... I showed him a picture of a Mario Brothers tattoo that was kind of the idea I was going for... I told him the only things that I needed changed was I wanted Luigi instead of Mario and that I wanted a red mushroom instead of the green one that was in the picture... I told him as far as everything else it was completely up to him he had free rein to do whatever he wanted with it... I couldnt be anymore impressed with what he came up with!!! The 1st picture(Mario) is what I showed him... The 2nd picture(Luigi) is by far one of my most favorite tattoos that I have and it always will be!!!

Staff is always friendly and prices are reasonable.

Very professional,& extremely clean environment...

I was there for a piercing. It was a great experience.

The best.

Thank you Nick I appreciate the great work I will be coming back to see you soon.

They are great at what they do!

I had Ryan and he made sure the tattoo I wanted was sized right, in the exact spot, and the handwriting was on point. Very clean and really nice people. Also a very good price!! I’ve already recommended them to my family and I’ll recommend them to all my friends:)

Excellent place to go for piercing. Very nice and professional artist.

Went in for a quick lobe piercing because my old piercing never healed properly due to the usage of a piercing gun from Claires.Never get a piercing by the gun. Ever. Come to a shop like Tainted Skin. Trained professionals wholl make sure youre taken care of, have a good jewlery selection, and a solid experience.I do not know if they do children as each business may or may not, so do check with them in advance if youd like to pierce your childs ears.

Robbie and the crew are unmatched artists with great talent and passion locally owned. Looking forward to seeing you soon to get sleeve wrapped up Robbie. Thank you for your professionalism!!!

I went last year in March to get my first tattoo and I’d never go back. The guy I had basically told me how I was getting my tattoo and what size and everything and I hate it. I told him that I didn’t want it as big as he said, and I wanted it to be more spread out and he did what he wanted anyways. Tattoo didn’t heal right, and is almost turning into a big blob now. On the bright side, Their piercer is great, he made my septum quick, painless, and clean. So I’d recommend him any day but other than that, thumbs down from me.

I went in today for a scheduled piercing appointment. The piercer opened up the building and took off his coat and opened up his room. I immediately could smell pot pouring out of the room and possibly him. It was offensive and distracting. I was asking him questions about the jewelry but then stopped and told him I was no longer going to let him pierce me. I was so looking forward to getting my piercings done but my better judgment told me to walk away.

I drove over an hour to get my brother’s first tattoo and gave him a rough idea of what he wanted. Nick drew up a beautiful tattoo!!! He even touched up one of my current tattoos while I was there! I will never go back to any of my local shops! Worth the drive and the money! Thank you Nick!

I truly love this place! Alex the Mgr. Is extremely thorough, professional, and personable. My family received tattoos from Nick and Jake which I would highly recommend to anyone! There work is off the charts! Thank you all for such a great experience!

Ive never got a tattoo done there but ive had a piercing and it went quite smoothly and easy.

Really not the best experience Ive had . They talked about how busy they were when the place was dead then brought the kid from down the street to even give us our tattoos when they already had two other guys there not doing anything . Then when we were done the guy almost forgot to even wrap our tattoos and didn’t give us any instructions except take the wrap off in an hour. Tat looks good

I decided to have a tattoo done in honor of my Swedish heritage. I went in wanting one thing and after speaking with Luke decided on something completely different. He is very in to and knowledgeable about the history of tattooing as well as Swedish folk art. He drew my tattoo design and chose the colors and I couldnt love it more. It is so beautiful! Luke is a true artist. He is really laid back and super nice, so if youre nervous about getting a tattoo, hes the guy for you. The shop is very clean and they follow all safety precautions. All in all a great shop and experience.Edit: Sadly Luke moved to Indianapolis. If youre looking for him at Tainted Skin hes not there.

Very unprofessional, poor customer service. I walk in, the person at the front desk says its best to call and make an appointment...I call to make an appointment and she says best stop in and youll need to make a DEPOSIT for an appointment. The artists work looks average, but I pick the place because of location...close to home. Could not get an appointment made and grateful that I didnt waste anymore time, especially reading some of the other reviews about their finished work. I saved up $2K for my new art and gladly will provide to different shop/artist.

Absolutely the best place for tattoos and piercings as well. My daughter, husband and I have all got beautiful work done(tattoos) and both my daughter and I had our noses pierced as well. My daughter just went in for an industrial piercing, AMAZING!! Will only use Tainted Skin from now on!😊

I had my nose pierced here today. They were so kind and very professional. Everything was explained to me. I was told first come first serve but at the time I went in there was no wait. Id honestly recommend this place to others. Thank you.

My son and I had a great experience for our first tattoos. The staff was frendly and Jake did a unbelievable job on doth our tattoos. Highly recommend them to anyone anyone interested in getting a tattoo or piercing.Thanks JakeArt

I go for the piercings mainly, but they do such a good job, I love all 16 piercings I have recieved from them. They heal fast and have never gotten infected! I highly recommend going here for all your piercing needs including jewelry replacement, care education, and of course, a quality piercing. Ive gotten double and triple lobes, tragus, conch, cartilage, industrial, triple helix, belly button and nose; I love all of them and they always look great.

Amazing work Luke Wolf was amazing

Extremely clean place and the artists there are super friendly! They’re really knowledgeable and let you know what will work placement and color wise with your idea. I got two tattoos so far from Nick and he was awesome!

Took a trip up there two nights in a row to get some work done, nothing too fancy, but they couldnt fit me in. They say walk-ins are encouraged, but that didnt work out too well. It looks pretty nice inside. Ill be taking my business over to China Doll instead.

JoJo was the best person that Ive seen there. She just started but did an amazing job, even though my tattoo was simple she did exactly what I wanted!!

Alot of very talented artists in this building. One in particular artist Michael in the last couple months has done 2 of my tattoos. I absolutely could not be any happier with them!!!

I don’t think this place wants business lol. I have tried MULTIPLE times to get a tattoo here and they either never got back to me or were incredibly rude when I did call myself or go in there. My advice - go somewhere where they actually want business.

Rob the owner kicks ass. Friendly staff and helpful. Ive been coming here for the past 10 or 11 rears no complaints.

Nice, clean shop. Not the friendliest place on earth but the quality of work is good. If you want a piercing Tess is great.

Highly recommended shop! Got my first tattoo, tongue, and nose piercing here. They are very friendly and not bad on pricing. Will continue to go there for future tattoos.

Jon and the young lady at the front desk were awesome. After a welcoming greeting, my anxiety eased up. 😊

Just got my tatoo finish and tatoo jojo did a wonderful job i would do another one with her again thanks jojo

My Name is Mandy & I got my Daith pierced on Aug 31. Tess did a really great Job! She really made me feel comfortable.

We love Tainted Skin! Fabulous work! Everyone is professional, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable! You wont be disappointed! FAB!

Luke is amazing. I love very vibrant, colorful tattoos and all the work hes done on me has turned out perfect and doesnt fade at all. Love this place.

Extremely friendly staff. Artist at work making great designs !

I came here to get my nose pierced and had an amazing experience! Edwin is the piercer here and not only was it pretty much painless (and I hate pain) I was able to come and get it changed, if I wanted a different one, for free I just had to pay for my new ring. Im planning on coming back soon to get my cartilage pierced and would definitely come back to get any tattoos I want to future

Although I havent gotten a tattoo yet from them, Ive gotten many piercings and they are definitely careful and friendly and the best place Ive been to. Im excited to go back for more piercings and tattoos in the future!

Wonderful first tattoo artist as well as design. They take their work to heart and try to produce the highest quality.

Been going to tainted for 10 plus years. I have been to tattoo shops all over the country and even though I live 17 hours away I still only come here for my tattoos. Its a great shop for first timers or for the experienced veteran.

Tainted Skin is a respected establishment, as it should be. Everyone there is respectful and does fantastic work. Could not recommend any more.

I would never do a walk-in appointment at this place. They do not seem to care about you or what you want done. I went in and it wasnt busy but I wasnt helped for a good 45 minutes. Once I was helped the artist couldnt even listen to me without having a side conversation with someone else. He did not care about what I wanted and had to draw it about 9 different times. It still didnt come out right and now its blending together because he did the lines way too close to one another. I will never go here for another tattoo and I definitely will not be recommending it to anyone. Hopefully I can get my tattoo fixed because it means a lot to me. I cant believe I even was nice enough to give that guy a big tip! HORRIBLE!

My experience was absolutely AMAZING!!! 1st off, the Vibe in the shop is Great!!! Everyone is very welcoming and layed back. Cleanliness was EXCEPTIONAL throughout all areas!!I initially came in for a Daith piercing. I was nervous and had a bunch of questions. Tess was not only knowledgeable and professional, she was kind and compassionate as well. She gave me great tips and aftercare instructions and also made me feel like I could come back at anytime for further advise. She was AWESOME!!!While I was waiting, I spoke with Nick about a tattoo I wanted done with my hubs. Nick was receptive, energetic and completely engaged in the process. He even made himself available to draw up what we wanted and committed to doing the work this same evening!!!When I returned with my Hubs in tow, we also met the Amazing Angie! Nick did our drawing of what we wanted and did my Hubs tattoo while Angie did mine Angie was great!! She was inviting and really out going!! The quality of the work on both pieces exceeded our expectations!! 2 different artists for the same piece, yet just enough difference for it to work!!We cant say Thank you enough for our AMAZING experience!!! We will definitely be back and will be telling everyone how great you all are!!!!Thank you Again!!!

I have always heard amazing things about Tainted Skin. I went in yesterday to get a tattoo, my 3rd. I was a bit skidish because my 2nd tatoo, from somewhere else, didnt go as planned to put it nicely. I walked in when they opened without an appointment. They fit me in as soon as they could. I told my artist Nick about my concerns. He was calm and patient with me. He teased me a bit to lighten the mood. He did amazing. He made me feel more at ease about the tattoo and it looks great! I highly reccomend Tainted! And I HIGHLY recommend Nick! Thank you!

Came in on randomly to get a tat in honor of my mother. Nick was professional and did great work.

Best guys in the business everyone is friendly and do amazing work!

NICK IS THE BOMB! He really gets in there, and I know my tatts will last for years! Definitely going back for more.

Mike is awesome. Did a cancer ribbon/cross combo and its better than I ever imagined. Just go there...

Jon was very nice and professional and knowledgeable about ear piercings

I walked in for this tattoo and I felt so unwelcomed. My friend and I were both supposed to get little tattoos but they told her that they dont do knuckle tattoos (where she wanted). Jake did my tattoo and in the middle of shading he hit my ear!!!! All he said was oops. I did not even realize until after he was done (I was in the zone) that he left a line on my ear. I tried peeling it off but it didnt scab.The tattoo itself is in a weird placing and I am not happy with how faded it is already. When I went to check out after watching my friend get her nose pierced Jake was already outside smoking and did not check me out (probably because he left a line on my ear) so Alex checked me out and I left pissed off. I got my ear pierced to try to hide the mark.

Mike was awesome! He did amazing work on me and my fiance. Well never go anywhere else.

Drove over a hour to get a my sons first tattoo gave nick a rough idea of what i wanted and he drew up a wounderful tattoo for him anyone looking for a tattoo go to tainted skin the best by far thank you so much NICK

5 STARS! Outstanding tattoo shop...very welcoming & knowledgeable. Had 4 tats done by David T. ..who is an awesome skilled artist!

They did a very good job on my tattoo id definitely go back

Very nice place, very clean. Will definitely go back.

Sat there and waited to talk to someone for about 15 mins only to have them overlook me and talk to some ppl coming thru the door. Smh...guess its typical Crown point behavior being that Im black.

Nick did a good job... Seemed a little unsure about the outcome of a cover-up,as he states,due to my skin being so dark... The tattoo turned out nice!

Nick did a great job !!I love it so much and I would recommend anyone to go to him . Im glad he got to do my first tattoo ❤️

Best and cleanest shop you will ever see!! Great artists!! Ive made several referrals to here and all have been extremely satisfied!!!!

Got my septum pierced! I love it!!

This place is awesome and Ryan is a great artist there.....several thumbs up!

Lip and tongue pierced and had two tattoos done here so far. Tattoos turned out awesome as they were walk ins.

Awesome place. Very friendly and talented people here.

I just got my tattoo done by Alan today and I LOVE it! He is such a friendly guy and his artwork is amazing. I got a simple tattoo and wanred a specific font to go with the saying. However, he gave me some great advice and showed why that font wouldnt look to great in the future. Alan helped get the finishing touches for it and helped me pick a good shade of red. Again, I am extremely satisfied!! Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and knowledgeable. Tainted skin has such a great atmosphere and I will be coming back for more when im in town again! I would highly suggest getting an appointment. I was a walk in and was very lucky to get mine done. It got busy fast, but in the future I will be making appointments.

Friendly, relaxed atmosphere! Clean shop with some very good artists!

Davey Robles relocated to this shop about a year ago....not only is Davey an extremely talented artist, the whole place and atmosphere is awesome...Ive not only been inked by Davey, my wife, daughter in law, and son in law have as well, with much more to come...honestly cant wait....)

Mike did an amazing job on my cattoo (: definitely going back to him soon

I got my daith pierced with Tess. The place is super clean and professional. She was kind and patient with me as I had a lot of questions to ask
