I have had my upper lip area ( Monroe) and nose done here. I actually had the Monroe done twice because I was letting it close and then changed my mind after several months had gone by. The shop owner, (artist) assured me he would do his best to use the same spot. He did and each time was very professional.

Bob is awesome. He is hilarious. He is professional. He does solid work. I see another review about loss of deposit. I mean that is standard. You miss your appointment you lose your deposit. He has done several tats for me and my family members. Check out his Instagram.

I got a nose and an industrial piercing. Bob explained everything so detailed about what he was doing, the healing process, and products needed to help the healing. Very professional. You can tell he cares and wants you to come back with questions if you have any. Great service! Coming back in the summer with my little sister for her belly button piercing.

Bob is an amazing tattoo artist! He is blunt and honest and will give input if the tattoo is going to work or not. You can see the passion he has for tattooing in all his work.

I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a piercing. Very clean and friendly environment. The piercing themselves were super affordable and fair too.

Review №16

Very relaxed atmosphere. Got my first tattoo there. Bob took his time with me and made sure I was comfortable and liked the drawing before I got the tattoo. I LOVE it! Very beautiful artwork! Would recommend to everyone. Yes there is cheaper shops. But you get what you pay for. The colors are amazing for my tattoo. Explained how to care for my ink. Got a feather with doves. The blues in the feather is so amazing and the feather looks 3DWished I could share a picture

First I would like to say Bob is so cool and down to earth and honest, almost 7 years ago I walked in and he pierced my nose for the very first time and I love it !!!! Yesterday I was in the neighborhood and I said to myself I want a tattoo of a lotus behind my ear, I walked in and he was right on the money,long story short he did the damn thang, and I’ll definitely be back I promise!

Received my first tattoo here nearly 7 years ago. Tattoo is still nice looking, nothing has run together, etc. Ive also gotten snakebites (piercing) here and Bob educated me on caring for it, how certain piercing methods (gun versus needle) can run the risk of infection, etc. Have never had an issue with anything Ive had done here. I used to think they were a bit pricey but being more educated now, I understand why many shops worth anything charge as they do.

I first came to Bob when I was looking to get a semi-colon on my wrist. He did it the same day, and it was far more than I expected. The shading different and unique and it went by like a breeze. I went in today for a nose piercing, and I left super happy. He walked me through it and I didnt even feel any pain. Super chill guy and comforting.

I had my nose pierced here a couple of times. They are very professional. Now it did hurt, but that is to be expected. This wasnt my first time having my nose pierced, so I kind of knew what to expect. Oh, and the price wasnt bad at all.

Review №24

I had my very first tattoo done today, and the man that did it was very nice, and held a conversation with me while getting the tattoo done. I was able to do a walk in rather than wait for an appointment too. I would DEFINITELY go back for another.

Review №32

I didnt end up getting my piercing here. I called at 7pm and the shop closes at 9pm. I called for a nose piercing With Bob. He answered the phone I asked him what that night looked like for him if he had time. He said he had two clients waiting and that he would be ready by nine. I get there at 845 just in case he was early. Instead of it being at nine. He said it would be ten. Upon entering I wasnt greated and it smelled like mildew. Would never recommend if I could give a zero I would.

Review №36

I stopped by on a cross country road trip in a panic over a bad nostril piercing Id gotten done in Denver. Within 36 hours the skin had healed over the piercing and I couldnt get the disk of the ring back through. Bob was super helpful, thoroughly explained all my options, and was gentle when forcing the piercing back through. He also gave some great after care directions and product to help reduce swelling and prevent infection /further complications. I only wish I had gotten my piercing done here in the first place!

Review №42

I would not recommend it to others. Hes a thief, plain and simple. If you miss your appointment its your loss you lose your deposit. If your few minutes late you lose your deposit. He does not have the courtesy to inform you of those rules ahead of time. Only open 4 days a week most of the time. The guy is a real character take my advice stay away from him.

This dude does NOT care about his customers! DO NOT COME HERE! He didnt give mouthwash to my wife before or after piercing her upper lip (madusa). She also gave her a bar that was waaayyyy too small and it went inside her lip. Go to WICKED OWL TATTOO ON TORRENCE! 604 TORRENCE AVE.

How is it that hes a thief for keeping your appointment deposit when he dosnt do appointments? He only does walk-ins. If you put a deposit down to hold a block of time with an artist in my shop and just didnt show up id keep your damm deposit to ya knucklehead!
