My piercer was Ashley! She made me feel super comfortable and made sure I was completely educated on after care for my piercings before I left. I had a nose piercing from here also and Ashley had always made herself available to answer any questions or concerns I had during healing processes. I will definitely be coming back! She is the only one I trust with any piercings!

Jacob is definitely the person to go to for tattoos! I’m probably there like every two weeks to see him to get something new. His shading is super good and so is his line work i definitely suggest going to see him.

Really am enjoying my tattoo from Bryan. Only one slightly less perfect line in my dragonfly. Color in the body and one wing doesnt go all the way to the black outside . But barely noticeable. Took 30 mins.

Please do yourself a favor and never set foot into this place. I have dealt with a lot of tattoo artist and never did I have such a terrible experience, first of all I was never to complete my tat, my artist named Jacob kept scheduling me and when I would get there he would tell me “aye bro I can get you tmr got lots of work” I accepted it for a little at first but he did this FOR A MONTH finally I was fed up so I told him I wasn’t going back and then he calls me telling me if I come he’ll do it 100% for sure, I sat in that shop for about 2 hours until he finally came up and told me he couldn’t do it because he wasn’t gonna have time to finish it. Seriously there’s way better shops out there I lost a lot of money and time in this place DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!

I went here a few weeks ago for a nose piercing, and they were very welcoming and walked me through my nervousness, were very patient and accommodating to me, and the piercing was quick and as painless as possible.

Review №35

I’ve gotten 2 piercings here from Andrew & I won’t go to anyone else! Super clean, quick, and thorough. The needle is shown to you while still sealed and discarded after.He’s also very real and honest. He will warn you if a piercing might not be the best choice for your lifestyle (maybe a bridge piercing if you wear glasses for example) before doing the piercing and let you decide what to do from there so I really dig that honesty.May be a tad pricy depending on the piercing but you get what you pay for! Overall, I would say it’s reasonable prices.

Review №41

It was very clean, the needles came in a separate closed bag. I had this skinny white guy with glasses he was very nice he made me feel comfortable. I got my belly pierced it was $50. Tbh it kinda tickled because he had to clean the area it was very fast he provided information on how to clean the area and how long to keep the piece in till Im able to change it out with a different one. I got to select the piece to wear I choose regular silver ball because it will match with anything. They even provide the Bactine which is what you use to clean the area which was $10. Everyone was friendly I would highly recommend.

Came in wanting a industrial. Was met at the door by a friendly girl. I told her what i wanted and she said it could be done. I then talked to a piercer who said my ear could not handle what i wanted because my cartridge was to small. I was very upset, but she said she could do something very like it. She showed me a model ear with the piercing in it. i decided to go with that and am very happy with the result! She was knowledgeable and competent, the station was clean. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants a piercing.

I cant say enough about this place. i came in to get a tattoo. i was met at the front door by a friendly person who took me over to a computer where i could look through flash. I found what i wanted and met with an artist(i wish i could remember his name) to agree on a price. i felt it was a good price for what i wanted. as i was led to his station i looked around me. every one seemed to be busy with people, the place looked clean. the music was a bit eclectic for my taste but fit the shop. I sat for the guy an hour. he was friendly and professional. he made me feel at ease. I loved the work he did on me! its just what i wanted. i would recommend this shop to anyone.

Review №46

Ive gotten three piercings there now, all done by Alyssa: my industrial, my lobes, and my lip. First two piercings were done well; however, some some things were off, like how some of the jewelry was low-quality, the shops aftercare tips actually being unsafe in the eyes of piercing and medical professionals, and Alyssa being pretty stand-offish. But I ignored these red-flags because they had pretty good prices and it was easy to get in and out quick. That proved to be a mistake when it came to my lip piercing. Because Alyssa is stand-offish, she didnt communicate well about my needs in a lip piercing; I trusted her placement when it came to the piercing which was DEFINITELY a mistake. She placed it too low and in at 90 degrees rather than an angle, not only meaning that I could never wear hoops in it, but also that it was directly at my gum line, which caused gum receding after only a few months of having it. Now Im having to take the piercing out to try to make sure my gums and teeth arent permanently damaged and who knows if its actually safe to get it re-pierced eventually. I get having rough days and being frustrated with customers, but when someone has only been polite to you and is *literally* getting a piercing, no matter how much professional knowledge you have if you dont communicate with your customers about their needs and anatomy, youre not a good piercer.

I didn’t have to make an appointment and was able to get helped as a walk in. Andrew brought me back pretty fast and got things started. I warned him that I’m really bad with needles and that there may be a chance I can faint. He was calm and politely straightforward with the process. The selection of jewelry was so hard to pick from because they were all such cute studs! I had to lay down afterwards for a couple minutes but Andrew was very patient with me, which I really appreciate. Aftercare products weren’t included, but they gave me a detailed handout on how to take care of a new piercing and it was easy to find the recommended product at Walgreens for $8. Very happy with my new badazzled nose!! Thanks Andrew!

Review №51

I came into this shop later at night with an ear swelled up to twice its size. my fault for getting it pierced at Clairs with a gun. I was promptly met at the door by a friendly girl who said she was a piercing apprentice. I told her my story and showed her my ear. She looked it over and recommended that i take it out and let it heal. I was supper nervous but she was patient with me and got the piercing out of my ear. At the end she seemed genuinely concerned for my well being. I would go back to this shop any time.

Had gone with my friends here to watch one of them get a tat. When we looked at the wording it was fine but around the time the wrap needed to be taken off we had noticed the guy messed up. He had put in and extra 3 words. Now we know why it was so cheap because this place sucks. I would have spent over a 100$ to have someone do it right next time.

Review №55

Normally this is my go to spot for quality jewelry at a cheap price. My experience today however, was unfortunate. I was greeted promptly and told the girl working that I wanted to buy a replacement ring for my cartilage; she informed me that the piercer was with someone but would be right with me. Whatever, I didnt mind waiting a few minutes. What I DID mind was that two different girls entered the store after me. Once the piercer was finished, she went over to help one of these girls before me. I tried to say excuse me maam but I guess she didnt hear me. after waiting another 25 minutes, the piercer went to help the other girl before me AGAIN. Again I said EXCUSE ME, Ive been waiting here longer. And was again ignored. Other employees watched me be ignored knowing I had been waiting longer. At that point I was beyond fed up and left. I ended up waiting 30+ minutes for nothing for something that wouldve taken 2 minutes to complete. Itll be awhile, if ever, until I cool off enough to come back.

Absolutely terrible customer service!!!!! I called and checked the hours since it was a holiday and they confirmed they were open until 6pm so I thanked the gentleman on the phone and said we may be in. When we arrived we were the only customers in the shop.... we were asked if we could be helped. I explained that I wanted a nose piercing and the woman behind the counter told me she was closed. I explained to her about the previous conversation I had had with the gentleman on the phone and how far we had driven. She simply told me that yes they were open until 6pm but they stopped taking walk-ins at 5pm and that she would sell me the jewelry but she wasnt opening back up for me. Are you kidding me?!?! You are standing there playing with someones hair DURING business hours and you turn away a paying customer!! Never in my life have I been treated this poorly by a business! All I can say is rude! They dont even deserve the star that I had to give them so that I could post this review.....

Review №71

Yesterday I just got my first tattoo, what should have an awesome experience turned to crap. When I went into Mystic Marks Tattoo Co I was given a quote for my tattoo saying $250 for a 2 hour job. My tattoo was a pretty basic tribal tattoo that i designed myself, which when I went in before only got quoted $150. After it was all said and done I looked down at the time and what was supposed to take 2 hours only took 1 hour. When I went to pay I questioned the artist about the charge of the tattoo due to the fact that it did not take 2 hours it only took one and he even confirmed it only took one. He then said didnt we agree on $250? I then returned with you said $250 for a 2 hour job, not a 1 hour job. It then went back and forth for a minute but I finally said forget it and payed. In conclusion dont go here unless you want to get ripped off or at least dont go to David that works at Mystic Marks Tattoo Co.

Review №73

I knew the woman that started this shop, she was an early mentor of mine and gave me great advise about using safer products like Intenze ink (yes believe it or not it is NOT a board of health rule federally mandated for inks to be MADE STERILE ) that is sterile made and doesnt contain things linked to cancer Jan was also an art teacher . My initial contact came when i asked a gal in the Texas hill country about tattoo shops and she said her and her friends liked THIS one: Mystic Marks. It is now ran with similar integrity by her Son who also has continued to give me good advise . they stay busy but seem to have a knack for having one artist available for when people walk in

Review №74

I wish I could give this place less stars. I didn’t even get a tattoo here and the experience was still terrible, I called to ask a question and the staff member who answered the phone was SO RUDE. I asked if they took walk ins and they said yes we are usually good for walkins between 8 and 9, I told them we would be there about 830 if that was okay, the guy then told me that they would likely be closed by then?? Their information clearly says that they close at 10, I asked why they would be closed if we were trying to make an appointment and they say they close at 10?? The guy was extremely rude and said that he didn’t have to listen to be complain about their hours. I immediately hung up and was just appalled that they could be so rude. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I have no idea what their work is like to be fair but purely based on a customer service standpoint this place is sorely lacking. I do highly recommend Body Expressions instead their customer service was amazing, they stayed open an extra 4 hours just because they had so many walk ins and the work is top notch.

Review №75

WORST ESTABLISHMENT EVER!Despite all the horrible reviews I still decided to give this joke of a shop a chance. Was waiting for 15 min in front, one of the workers made eye contact with me but never greeted me or said ill be right with you. Until i went towards the back to ask a question i was met by the most unpleasant guy Ive ever encountered. I asked if there was a piercer on site and he said yes and asked what was roughly the wait time and he chucked and said pshh i dont know Just very passive aggressive and then asked a question about the documentation needed for my 16yr old sister and he just so bothered that he actually had to work. Needless to say he was super rude. I made a suggestion that he needed someone in front to greet customers coming in and his response was yeah well its our business so I dont know how this company is still in business but I will make sure I warn everyone I know how this company works.

HORRIBLE!!!!!!! I had Hoyt put a quote on my bicep. I spell checked it and had my friend confirm. He SPELLED A WORD WRONG. Not only that, but he checked the stencil to see if I was lying. He tells me to let it heal and come back to let him fix the mistake. I do, thinking that he actually would repair all the horrible line work and the spelling error. My mistake. He managed to make the tattoo WORSE. He thickened it all up so everything is so much more obvious and he shook the whole time! So it looks absolutely horrific. I wish he had to pay for the damn cover up Im about to have to get! Beware of this artist!

Review №82

Idk what was wrong with my tattoo artist, but he was constantly shaking and messed up my tattoo. It looks horrible and after messing up he charges me $80. The way it was tatted was unprofessional, and it was more like he was just trying to hurry up which caused it come out bad. The font was printed out and he decides to do his own filling it in. And my t is filled uneven, my k is messed up due to him shaking. The tattoo itself was not straight. And upon doing my bfs tattoo it was not what we had ASKED for and the line was uneven. JUST UNPROFESSIONAL! I AM highly disappointed due to the fact this is the first tattoo out of 5 that I regret. I hope I can get it fix otherwise I will have to get it removed. This is bs. Also he had suggested I get it elsewhere which I took the offer thinking he was professional on to see I was wrong. Even my before said it just looks terrible. Overpriced. DO NOT GO HERE!

Got my wrist tattoos i drew there and it was quick easy painless but not much on the respectful side no conversation and no welcome. They just wanted my money in and out. second time i went in because the tattoo did come out good and didnt have any problem with me bringing in my work and i wanted a tradition style skull eyes and everything and the gentlemen there refused to do it because it wasnt in style. I dont care if its in style or not tattoos should be for meaning and personal to someone not just a popular print you see on everyone....
