I got my septum done here and I didnt have the best reaction. My piercer was super kind and took care of me and made sure I felt okay before I left! Plus the piercing itself is healing nicely and feels and looks really good.

Was told that piercer was going to be there when open, called , claimed she started at 2 , then Called again at 2:15 and the piercer wasn’t there. Told me to wait a couple minutes . Sat there for 15 minutes and didn’t even see her . I ended up just pulling away . Glad I didn’t get service there after that

Love my anti-tragus piercing! The piercer was very professional, took a while to heal but any cartilage piercings always take a while to heal for me!I am looking to buy some new jewelry now that it has been healed for a while, hoping someone that works at Big Als can help me out and remind me what size gauge you all use for ear cartilage piercings! Thanks :)

Went with my girlfriend to get matching nose rings. Her nose is bigger than mine and the ring used on her was entirely too small to be able to withstand the swelling. You would think that someone who has been piercing for 14 years would know that bigger noses need bigger rings and to also choose a ring with room for swelling. The ring completely submerged in her nose. When we called back, she automatically told my girlfriend that she must be allergic and offered to remove it for a fee! Really? Youre charging to fix your screw up? We went somewhere else (I was honestly turned off when told to put A&D on them) and the guy removed it and put a bigger ring in, only charging for price of jewelry. Her nose is perfectly fine now. Needless to say, this was our first and last time going here.

Regina was absolutely amazing! It was my first tattoo so I was picky, didnt quite like the design she had drawn up but she was very patient with me and drew up a few other designs based on what I told her I liked. She never made me feel like I was being too picky and didnt rush the process at all. The tattoo ended up being better than what I had imagined and I cant stop staring at it! Super professional, and the space was clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing.

Big Al’s is AMAZING!!!!!!! Best piercing experience I’ve ever had. Granted, I’ve had quite a few piercings, and yesterday was my second time getting my belly done as well as my first time getting my rook done. Their piercer Hershey was super super knowledgeable, and gentle as well. She has a great personality and made the experience very pleasureable. Will be going back soon!

Coming here was a terrible decision. My sister and I decided to get matching heart outlines. I thought since it would just be a really small heart it couldnt be messed up. Hers turned out perfect but unfortunately for me, a different person did mine and it literally looked like a blob. It was so bad I had to have it filled in. The whole point was to have matching hearts but now theyre different.

Poor line work, even on an easy, lines only tattoo. Bad decision to use this place for anything on your body permanently.

Review №26

Used to go here all of the time and the artists were amazing, so when my husband and I decided to get small, simple matching tattoos for our anniversary, we decided this would be the place we went.Never again. I guess since it was so small and simple, the actual experienced artists didnt want to do it, so they passed us off to an apprentice. The end result was terrible. I dont know how someone could mess up 5 small numbers so badly, but somehow they managed.Just because we wanted something small and simple, doesnt mean we didnt expect quality. Tattoos are on your body FOREVER. Tattoo artists should have more respect for your decision and honestly should be excited to make $100+ dollars in 20 mins.At least my husband and I can share our pain together and laugh at our awful tattoos until we get them fixed, somewhere else.I will note, none of the artists I was used to and received amazing work from, were working there anymore and I should have known at that point maybe there was a reason.Lesson learned

Cool place, good vibe. I have been in and out of this place a few times. It is right next door to the paintball store I got to, to find cool oldschool paintball stuff and get my guns repaired. I dont think I would have got anything done there before but, the staff seems to have changed a lot and, for the better! When you walk in your greeted right away by somebody who is actually friendly. Everyone seems to be smiling and its got a family kind of vibe. Which in my opinion is exactly how a tattoo shop should feel. Anyway went in there just to check the place out again recently and was so blown away by the change and impressed by what art I saw I decided to make an appointment. I leave another review later and let you know how it went.

Their piercer Kara ROCKS! She did a dermal anchor corset on me, and was professional, clean, and courteous. She took the time to ensure that it was lined up properly with my tattoo, and just did an overall tremendous job. And everything was clean, sterile, and opened in front of me! She is the only person I will let pierce me.

Whole new staff since the last time I was in here. still, always a very friendly staff and clean environment. you dont feel unwelcomed, like you do at all the other shops out in these suburbs. Hands down, 5 star rating :) Very classy artists with genuine skills. I love Big Als and everyone who works there: the new shop manager, the artists even the apprentice...this shop is the best!!!!

Ive been to Big Als a few times, got pierced by their old piercer, Scary Mary. She was ok, guess shes been piercing a while, but i wasnt happy with my bellybutton, it looked kinda crooked. SO, I stopped in and talked with their new piercer, Kara. MAN SHE IS AWESOME! She repierced my bellybutton, and its PERFECT! She explained everything before she did it, and I barely felt it. In my opinion, Kara is awesome. I had her pierce my lip, and tragus after my bellybutton because shes that good. Glad Scary Mary is gone from this place.
