Tribal Rites Tattoo and Piercing Westminster: Reviews
Negative experience: If I could give ZERO STARS I WOULD, but that’s not an option! My daughter scheduled an appt and made an honest mistake and thought it was for a Thursday instead of Friday. We did a $45 deposit for the appt but because my daughter made a mistake they wouldn’t honor the deposit. They used the excuse that it was because she wasn’t able to pierce anybody else during that time. However we’ve been here MULTIPLE TIMES and if they actually had people waiting for a piercing I guarantee you they didn’t just sit there and make them wait because her appointment (my daughter) didn’t show up. I should also mention that when we made the appointment her schedule was she completely open. Absolutely ridiculous!!!! Although we have been here multiple times, I will never spend another dime at a tribal rights again. There are way too many other good piercing places to spend my money here. It was an honest mistake but clearly customer service isn’t in their business model.
Katrina,
I'm truly sorry to hear about your frustration with the deposit situation—it's never our goal to leave a valued customer feeling this way, especially one who's visited us multiple times. We appreciate your past support and understand that honest mistakes happen, like mixing up appointment days.
That said, our policy on deposits is clearly outlined when booking: they are forfeited for no-call/no-shows to help protect our piercers' time and income, as missed slots can't always be filled last-minute. While we do try to be flexible where possible, in this case, the slot went unused, which directly impacts our team. Your daughter handled the situation gracefully, understood the policy, and even proceeded with her piercing—she was a pleasure to work with, and we're grateful for her tip to the piercer.
I was disappointed to learn about the interaction with our staff, as we pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and expect the same respect in return. We've reached out to your daughter multiple times via email (including an offer for a $30 discount on her next visit), phone, and text to resolve this amicably, but haven't heard back yet. We'd love the chance to make things right—please feel free to contact us at https://tribalrites.com/contact-us/ or stop by the shop. We're committed to fair resolutions and hope to welcome you back soon.

Fantastic experience: Taylor was the friendliest most helpful front desk person I have encountered!! Great customer service!!! If you need piercings or good quality jewelry this place has you covered!
Dean,
Thank you for the wonderful review—we're so happy Taylor made such a strong impression on you!
It's fantastic to hear her friendliness and helpfulness stood out at the front desk, along with the great customer service overall. We take a lot of pride in our team being welcoming from the moment you walk in, and Taylor truly shines at that. Plus, we're glad you felt confident in our piercing options and high-quality jewelry selection!
We truly appreciate the kind words and your recommendation. Come back anytime you're ready for your next piercing or just to browse jewelry—Taylor and the whole Tribal Rites crew will be excited to see you!
Thanks again!

The Tribal Rites Team (Taylor says thank you!!)
Fantastic experience: Went in for my nipple piercings with Nails back in June, then came back to downsize a few months later. Nails was always respectful, professional, and had a wonderful bedside manner. They really eased my nerves for such a scary piercing and were very lgbtq+/trans friendly. The receptionist (so sorry I didn’t get their name!) was very helpful with jewelry recommendation and pricing. Definitely recommend this studio for anyone in the area, I’d even go as far as to recommend traveling to this studio because it’s just that good.
Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful review—we're so grateful you chose Nails for your nipple piercings and the downsizing follow-up!
It's really meaningful to hear how Nails' respectfulness, professionalism, and gentle bedside manner helped ease your nerves for such a personal piercing, and that the LGBTQ+/trans-friendly environment felt safe and supportive. We take a lot of pride in creating that kind of space for everyone.
Kenneth,
We're also glad the receptionist could help with jewelry recommendations and clear pricing—little details like that make a big difference. Your recommendation (even suggesting people travel for it!) means the world to us and to Nails especially.
Thank you again for trusting Tribal Rites and for sharing such kind words. We'd love to welcome you back anytime—whether for aftercare, new jewelry, or whatever's next on your list!❤️✨
With appreciation, The Tribal Rites Team (Nails says thank you so much!)
Fantastic experience: I have been pierced by Nails and Jane has helped me switch out jewelry! My fiancé has also gotten pierced by Nails too. We love this place for piercings. They’re sooo professional, helpful, FUN, kind, and they make it easy. They have a wide selection of jewelry and it’s so fun to talk about different options and ideas. Anyone I’ve interacted with here (whether piercer or tattooer) is super nice. Thanks for all yall do!!
Jess,
Thank you so much for the amazing review—we're genuinely touched that both you and your fiancé have had such great experiences with Nails and Jane!
It's wonderful to hear how Nails' piercing work and Jane's jewelry expertise have made every visit professional, fun, kind, and effortless. We love that the wide jewelry selection sparks those exciting conversations about options and ideas—it's one of our favorite parts too! And knowing the whole team (piercers and tattooers alike) feels welcoming and nice means the world to us.
We're so grateful you've found a spot you both love and trust. Thank you for the kind words and for being part of the Tribal Rites family—come back anytime for more piercings, jewelry swaps, or just to hang out!
With big thanks,
The Tribal Rites Team (Nails & Jane say thank you!!)
Fantastic experience: I’ve had all my piercings done by Jane and she’s amazing!! She’s always so helpful and honest to the point where I only will go to her to get a piercing!! Thank you Jane:)
Rylie,
Thank you for the sweet review—we're so happy Jane has become your go-to piercer!
It's really special to hear how her helpfulness, honesty, and amazing skill have earned that kind of loyalty. We love that you've found someone you trust completely for all your piercings—that's the best compliment we could ask for.
Jane will be touched to read this! Thanks again for choosing her and Tribal Rites every time. We're here whenever you're ready for the next one
Best,
The Tribal Rites Team (Jane says thank you!!)
Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic for both kids' and adult piercings. I want to thank one of their piercers specifically- Nails did such an incredible job with a tricky 3rd lobe piercing. They were patient, so kind, and did such a wonderful job ensuring I had the piercings exactly where I wanted them and made sure I knew how to take care of them. I would recommend this shop for anyone needing a phenomenal piercer in Arvada.
Lauren,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Lauren! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience with Nails and that you appreciated their patience and care. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Warm Regards,
Tribal Rites Team
Fantastic experience: Took my daughter here to get her ears pierced a couple weeks ago. She was a bit nervous about getting it done but had been asking for months. Nails and the person's whose name I forgot were fantastic. Not only were they patient with my daughter working through the courage but even stayed late so we could take the time that we needed to. I would totally recommend this shop to anyone looking to get their kids ears pierced, just make sure you bring an actual copy of the birth certificate.
Josh,
Thank you so much for the kind review—we're really glad we could turn your experience around after the previous shop!
It's awesome to hear Nails and Q made you feel supported as a walk-in, helped nail down exactly what you wanted for your nostril piercings (and upcoming chain), and that the transparent pricing, great jewelry selection, and welcoming vibe stood out. We take pride in being a safe, inclusive space, especially for women and queer folks, so that means a lot.
We're excited you're planning to come back—can't wait to help with the chain placement or whatever's next! Thanks again for trusting us and for the sweet words
Best,
The Tribal Rites Team (Nails & Q say hi!)
Fantastic experience: I got my nostrils pierced here for an upcoming chain placement. I came here unsatisfied from a different shop, and they helped me find what I wanted as a walk-in. Nails and Q are great. The prices were great and given upfront, with a good selection of jewelry. It's a safe place for women and queer people. I plan to come back again
Celes,
Thank you for the lovely review—we're so glad we could turn things around after your previous experience and help you get exactly what you wanted as a walk-in!
Nails and Q will be thrilled to hear they made such a positive impression. We're really happy the transparent pricing, solid jewelry selection, and welcoming vibe felt right for you.
Thanks for the kind words and for planning to come back We're excited to help with that chain placement (or anything else!) whenever you're ready. See you soon!
Best,
The Tribal Rites Team (Nails & Q say thank you!)
Fantastic experience: Best experience ever. Went in after a really bad experience at a different piercing shop. Q was very informative, kind, and helpful. Nails took me in and was super skilled, knowledgeable, and efficient. Left loving my piercing even more <3
C E,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience—we're really glad Tribal Rites could turn things around after a rough time elsewhere!
It's wonderful to hear Q was informative, kind, and helpful from the start, and that Nails made you feel confident with her skill, knowledge, and efficiency. We're thrilled you left loving your new piercing even more—that's the best feeling!
We truly appreciate you giving us a chance and for the kind words. Q and Nails will love hearing this. Come back anytime you're ready for more—we're here for you! ❤️❤️⭐
Best,
The Tribal Rites Team
Fantastic experience: Jane is the best! She gives gold standard care as a piercer and I appreciate how warm she is and her attention to detail. The girl working the front (I’m so sorry I suck and didn’t catch her name) was super sweet as well and helped me pick out new jewelry. Always a good experience here and I look forward to coming back soon. ⛓️
Taylor,
Thank you for the heartfelt review—we're so happy Jane made your experience feel truly special!
It's wonderful to hear how her warm approach, top-notch care, and sharp attention to detail stood out, and we're glad the front desk team member (no worries at all about the name!) was sweet and helpful with your new jewelry choice. That kind of welcoming vibe is what we strive for every visit.
We truly appreciate your kind words and can't wait to see you back soon—Jane and the whole crew will be thrilled to hear this. Thanks again for choosing Tribal Rites! ❤️
Best,
The Tribal Rites Team
Fantastic experience: Stopped by the other day, to ask a question about a piercing, wasn't intending on getting pierced that day. Q at the front desk was extremely knowledgeable and kept me company until the piercer was ready to talk to me. Nails (the piercer)made me feel so comfortable I ended up getting my septum pierced on the spot. Easiest, most painless piercing ive ever had. Q and Nails you rock!!! Thank you for making my experience so easy and fun!
Arielle,
Thank you so much, Arielle! We're thrilled to hear that Q and Nails made your piercing experience enjoyable and comfortable. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We can’t wait to see you again for your next visit!
Thank you,

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a clean and friendly place to have your child get their ears pierced- THIS is the place! Nails was AMAZING with my almost 7yo daughter. My daughter was very excited but also nervous about her first piercing experience. Nails made her feel relaxed and comfortable through the entire experience. 10/10 recommend!! Can’t thank you all enough! My husband and I are coming back for tats asap!
Thank you so much, Tina! We’re delighted to hear that Nails made your daughter’s first piercing experience a positive one. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you both back for tattoos soon!

Fantastic experience: Jane and Taylor were very professional. I came in for some new earrings, they were polite, respectful and gave me exactly what I was looking for. This is the gold standard of customer service and they deserve recognition for their effort.

Fantastic experience: Kenny is by far one of the most personable, passionate, and attentive tattoo artists I’ve ever worked with. My best friend and I sent him an idea and what he created was truly stunning. It wasn’t what we expected but it was so much better. The man is truly an artist. He was interactive and really made for the best experience! We spent 5 hours with him and truly enjoyed every minute! We plan to seek him out for our next one and would not hesitate to recommend him!
Jodie,
Thank you so much, Jodie! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your best friend had such a fantastic experience with Kenny. It's wonderful to know that his artistry exceeded your expectations. We can’t wait to see you both again for your next tattoo!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service and nice quick piercing. However I got really embarrassed after being rightfully called silly freaking out ovef my peircing holes getting all puffy. It was my first peircing wand was told to not touch ever and i waited too long to go get me jewlery shortened. It's my fault, and if I was stronger, I would 100% go back. 10/10 experience. Nice vibes. Just can't handle being seen as uncool compared to what is one of the coolest staff I've encountered ever.
Thank you, Callestarria, for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear you had a 10/10 experience with our team and appreciate your understanding regarding your piercing. Remember, everyone has their moments! We can't wait to see you again when you're ready. Keep rocking those nice vibes!

Negative experience: What kind of tattoo/piercing shop only carries push pin jewelry? Good way to continue scamming people out of money because you only sell jewelry that loses its push pin. Seems like the gig, because you dont sell secure jewelry (internally threaded/ externally threaded) do better y'all
Rheanna,
We are sorry you find push pins hard to deal with. They have become standard in the industry for ease of use and universal systems for tops and barbells. That being said, we also carry internally threaded jewelry and usually stock a decent variety for those pieces as well. Thank you, for your feedback. We aim to keep an inventory that is the the best quality in the industry and have enough choices for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Super great staff, I have had work done twice by 2 different artists and both a great.
Fantastic experience: David and Robert were amazing, so patient and felt so comfortable with them. Did an excellent job, my third time here :).
Fantastic experience: I love coming to Tribal Rites for all my piercings. Today was another great experience. Michelle was so sweet and welcoming helping me get checked in and letting me look at jewelry. Avery did amazing on my piercing she talked me through the whole process and answered all my questions. I highly recommend getting piercings here!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Desiree! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with Michelle and Avery. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for your next piercing!

Fantastic experience: I’ve used Kenny for a few tattoos and they’ve all been great! He’s very responsive to messages, and friendly to work with. He even added on to an existing tattoo I had from a different artist and you can’t tell that 2 artists worked on it. Highly recommend him!
Hey, thanks for the awesome review! I'm really glad you’ve been happy with the tattoos Kenny’s done for you. It’s great to hear he’s so responsive and easy to work with, and that seamless addition to your existing tattoo sounds impressive! We truly appreciate the recommendation and look forward to seeing you back for more ink.

Fantastic experience: Nails did my vertical nip piercings today and she was a dream. Super professional and nice, and so informative. Ive had a ton of piercings in my life and this was definitely one of the best experiences I've ever had with it. Even though I'm super decorated, I always get nervous with new pieces, but Nails was so chill and encouraging, it made the nerves go away quickly and the piercings were fast.
Glad we could give you a great experience! We hope to see you soon!

Fantastic experience: Wow, what an awesome shop. I was greeted and treated with such respect and care by both front desk staff and Nails, my piercer. They were excellent, and handled my requests with diligence and care! They were gentle, talked me through the whole process, and were so professional. I will be back! Thank you so much
Brianna,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We’re so glad you felt welcomed and cared for from the moment you walked in.

Fantastic experience: this is a shout out to Nails for their incredible patience, unbelievable professionalism, attention to detail, care, love, humor, and gentle touch. they are the best of the best - and absolutely who you should go to for any piercing - hands down. they were SO KIND and patient with my 11 year old son when he came in to get his ear pierced ... even when we left and came back the next day because of nerves... they literally spent over an hour with us. and my son, who has wanted to do this for over 3 years, is thrilled! nails, you are the BEST! thank you, liz and eli
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! We're ecstatic to hear about your experience with Nails. Their patience, professionalism, and care truly make a difference, especially with first-time piercings. We're so glad your son is happy with his ear piercing! We appreciate your kind words and support. Looking forward to seeing you both again!

Fantastic experience: I just got my belly button and other nostril pierced by Nails (Naels?) and they were AWESOME! They were very clean and their gloves, jewelry, and everything else that goes into piercing was very sterile. They made sure I had the right anatomy and knew what they were doing. They also were AMAZING at lining up the piercings.
Thank you so much, Hannah! We're super happy to hear that you had a great experience with Nails and that you felt comfortable and cared for during your piercings. We take pride in our cleanliness and precision, and it's wonderful to know that it made an impression on you. Enjoy your new piercings!

Fantastic experience: Really great overall vibe - very clean: smelled nice, saw proof of cleaning, they were vocal about sterilization, glove changes, etc. The front counter gal (I didn't catch her name, Jess?) was so sweet and enthusiastic and made me feel at ease and welcome. My piercer Jane was extremely thorough, calm and accommodating. I felt comfortable with asking her for changes and she talked me through each step even though I clearly have tattoos and piercings, which is nice and she was not condescending about it at all. It was a breath of fresh air to experience a shop with a good balance of light (not a dungeon) with good music (not SOLELY hardcore screaming) and two excellent female staff members. I will definitely be coming back for any future jewelry and piercings desires! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Tasia! We love to hear that you had such a positive experience with us. It’s great to know that our cleanliness and the care from our team made you feel at ease. We can't wait to welcome you back for your future jewelry and piercing needs!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough kind things about them. We came in to get my 10 year old daughter’s ears pierced. Everyone was so extremely kind, supportive, and built her up every step of the way. From picking her earrings to walking her through the process - they were fun and attentive. Not to mention, Jane, did so well at the actual piercing that my daughter didn’t even flinch. I 100% Will come back for any sort of piercing.
Thank you so much, Hillary! We're thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had such a wonderful experience with us. It's fantastic to know that our team made her feel supported and at ease during her ear piercing. We can't wait to welcome you back for more piercings in the future!

Fantastic experience: I got my nipples re-pierced here by a piercer who is no longer there but she did a great job in following my requests during my appointment. I also got a vch here last year from Liz and while it was painful, she did a great job in making sure my anatomy was correct for the piercing and explaining everything I needed to know about placement, healing, and jewelry selection. I would recommend going here for your piercing needs!
Thank you, Lindsay! We’re thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with our piercers. It’s great to know that you felt well taken care of and informed during your appointments. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again for your piercing needs!

Negative experience: $47 for just a downsized bar is crazy not gonna second guess a business but honestly, a changeout cannot possibly be worth that…. Rethinking the vibes and trust built here forsure!
Fantastic experience: Dean was incredibly patient when I first came in out of the blue with an idea but not much else attached to it. He helped me kinda build it up alittle more, and was flexible when I had to reschedule it two days later. When it came down to getting the tattoo he was quick, friendly, and was letting me know what he was doing and when. A very good artist, will come back again. Amazing price too!
Thank you, Ace! We're thrilled to hear that Dean was able to help you bring your tattoo idea to life and that you had a great experience with us. We appreciate your kind words about our pricing and service. Looking forward to seeing you again for your next tattoo!

Fantastic experience: Good piercer dont remember her name she did mine and my gf at the time.. On top of that I bought a second beautiful lavender opal nose ring from them. They offered to put it in, but I handled it myself. Idk about the tattoo side but seems like a great shop overall.
Fantastic experience: Extremely nice, and very helpful staff. I felt extremely welcomed, and comfortable. Jane the piercer was super kind and really listened to me and provided options, and wanted to make sure i both felt safe and comfortable but also that i was taken care of. I walked in, did not wait a minute before i was helped, taken back and given service. I will definitely be back, I didn’t realize people were so cool still lol
Fantastic experience: I had two lobe piercings done today (standard hole was done years ago) and I couldn't be happier. David at FOS was able to answer any questions I had over the phone the day prior, and he was just as helpful in-store today. He was friendly, helpful, patient, and just generally wonderful. Jane, who did my piercings, was just as fabulous. I hadn't had any piercings since I was a kid, and she explained the whole process and aftercare very thoroughly. The piercings themselves were so quick that I barely registered the pinch. I didn't have a preference on the piercer when making my appointment, but I'll definitely request her specifically if I get any more done. Overall, this experience was such a breeze. The jewelry selection was lovely with a good range of styles and prices. The shop was easy to get to, very clean, and welcoming. And obviously the people were great.
Thank you so much, Emily! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with David and Jane. It's great to know that you found the process smooth and our jewelry selection appealing. We look forward to welcoming you back for any future piercings!
Thank you,

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here from the first phone call to the checkup on my piercing weeks later. Nails was beyond wonderful and I’ve been to her for 4 piercings now. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. This is a great staff and a good place for novice piercers like myself who want to feel comfortable but still enjoy the process. Thanks Tribal Rites!
Thank you so much, Sarah! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with Nails and our team. It’s wonderful to know that you feel comfortable and enjoyed the process of your piercings. We can’t wait to see you again for your next one!

Fantastic experience: Lovely piercing experience and vibes here. Came in for a tongue piercing and a load of questions and came out with a sick mod and a smile. David and Jane are the homies forsure!
Thank you so much, Julia! We’re thrilled to hear you had a lovely piercing experience with us. David and Jane are indeed amazing, and we're glad they could help you leave with a smile. We can't wait to see you again for your next mod!

Negative experience: GREEDY! THIS PLACE HAS BECOME A RIP OFF! THIS SHOP IS GOING DOWN HILL! My daughter went here to have a earring removed (that they did mind you) removed and they wanted to charge her $25 to remove the earring so she could change it out. A friend of mine went here, and for a regular double ear piercing with jewelry (not even gold jewelry) was over $200! That is INSANE! Used to be my favorite shop. And I used to recommend ppl go here. NOT ANYMORE! BOO! HISS!
Negative experience: They refused to sell me jewelry for my tongue because they had to "evaluate" me before they would even talk to me about my options. They also said I would have to wait at least 30 minutes if I was going to get evaluated because the piercer was busy. I understand the wait, but I didn't need to be evaluated because I wasn't having them touch it! I was just buying the jewelry! I pushed my piercing out for a second as we were talking, trying to demonstrate I had too long of a bar, which is what I was trying to fix! She scolded me like I was a child, saying, "You really shouldn't play with my tongue piercing," as if I was sitting there spinning it. I was very disappointed because this place was recommended by my closest friend. I was telling her about the condescending lady I experienced today when she shared that there's really only one nice person she's ever had. Her favorite lady has a shaved head and is always great, so shout out to her for being nice! I, on the other hand, had a young lady with multiple face piercings and short hair but not buzzed. It took everything in me not to be rude right back. Condescending people don't belong in a CS position! I would give it 1 star if my friend didn't tell me about the one nice lady she goes and sees.
Lily,
I apologize for your poor customer service experience. This is definitely not up to Tribal Rites expectations. We do an evaluation for jewelry purchases to make sure your new jewelry will be an appropriate choice for fit and comfort. I appreciate that you may not have felt you needed an evaluation, but that is standard policy. Certainly, there are better ways to explain to a customer our preferences and concerns about "playing" with jewelry and such. I'm in agreement with you. Really, what is a tongue ring for, but to play with.
I will be looking into this situation personally. We always strive to have the best customer service possible, and again I apologize that we did not meet your expectations or ours. We hope we can get you back into our good graces in the future. If you would like to talk further or leave us a number where we can get back to you please go here: https://tribalrites.com/contact-us/ and leave us your pertinent information.
Sincerely,
Mike Shuger

Fantastic experience: I've trusted Tribal Rites with piercings since 2014! Over the years I've had a variety of piercers, but Liz and Mo have each done several of my piercings! I never hesitate to recommend Tribal Rites if someone is asking about a piercing shop. The front desk people are always welcoming and helpful! (I usually see David in there). Mo has even re-pierced a couple that were done a little funky before I came to Tribal Rites. I just got these opal beauties on my lobe over the past few weeks and I am IN LOVE with my jewelry that Mo helped me pick!! I usually pick the standard jewelry but invested in the pretty pieces right away. Pictures for reference - all piercings except first two lobes, rook, and one nostril have been done at Tribal Rites! (Price for piercings can vary pretty greatly depending on your jewelry choice.)
Hi Ali,
Wow, thank you for the incredible five-star review and for trusting Tribal Rites with your piercings since 2014! We’re thrilled to hear Liz and Mo have been standouts for you, with Mo even helping fix past piercings and picking out those opal beauties for your lobes—we’re so glad you’re in love with them! It’s great to know David and the front desk team have been welcoming and helpful too. We appreciate your shoutout to our commitment to sanitizing between clients; your patience means a lot. Thanks for sharing your journey and photos— we’d love to see them! We’re honored by your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back for more.

Fantastic experience: Had to get my piercings removed for an MRI, Jane and Nails were helpful in removing them and putting them back in. All the staff at the shop were also kind and very welcoming! Made sure my piercings were sterilized before putting back in as well definitely recommend for any piercing needs!
Fantastic experience: I came in as a walk in for a piercing. Ephrain showed me different jewelry and made everything so easy. Robert has a lot of experience and made sure I was comfortable. He answered all my questions and they were both so inviting to talk to. Im very happy with my new piercing and I highly recommend this shop.
Fantastic experience: I needed to have a couple of my earlobes re-pierced because the back side had grown over. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and explained my choices and estimates. I highly recommend Tribal Rites for all your needs. I even got earrings that are threadless and very easy to take care of because they aren’t so cumbersome and look really nice. Thanks David and Jane for all your expert help.
Fantastic experience: Working with Kat was a dream! From concept to performance, she made it all happen. Chatting went from best Peruvian chicken in town to aliens. All in all a great experience and her flash designs were fun too! She exhibited incredible patience along the way! 10/10 Did I mention that we talked about aliens?
Fantastic experience: I took my granddaughter to get her conch piercing and David was wonderful. He was friendly making my granddaughter feel comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Got pierced by Nails and they were incredible! Their customer service was amazing and so was David. I was very nervous and they made sure I was comfortable and spent the time making sure I had the right jewelry that I also liked very much.
Fantastic experience: Great professionalism, very helpful & friendly staff, really impressive selection of jewelry for all kinds of piercings. We've been here a few times now and are always met with kindness and enthusiasm. Everyone there is such a professional - it gives you a lot of confidence in your result. Highly recommend, so glad they're nearby :)
Fantastic experience: Kat is so awesome! She gave me the sickest tattoo ever and was sure to make sure I was comfortable the whole time! Kenny is also super great! Definitely recommend tribal rites for tattoos and piercings! Never had any issues with any piercings or tattoos from them, very clean place!!! Make sure to tip too if you go in! Great people overall!
Hello Bryn,
Wow, thank you for the amazing review! We’re stoked to hear Kat gave you the sickest tattoo and kept you comfortable throughout the process—she’s truly awesome! It’s great to know Kenny also made a super positive impression. Your recommendation for Tribal Rites for both tattoos and piercings means the world, and we’re thrilled you’ve never had any issues and found our place very clean. Thanks for the reminder about tipping our great crew—we appreciate your support and can’t wait to see you back for more ink or piercings!

Fantastic experience: I chose Tribal Rites Westminster because that's the stomping ground of an artist whose style really caught my eye. Her name is Kat, and I knew she could help bring a vision I had been having for years to life. I told her my idea, and she immediately had things she wanted to try with the design. Once the day came, she revealed what she had and I loved it. I requested a minor change and she turned it around super quick. We did the tattoo in 2 sessions. The first one was 2 hours and the second was 10 hours. Both of us were excited to get this project done, and it speaks volumes to Kat's level of tattooing ability and general focus that she pulled through. She's super easy to talk with, which is a gift in itself, but it's an absolute asset when doing a long session. The tattoo healed lickity-split. I'm super stoked about it and I hope I can get a few more from Kat moving forward.
Dear Cristian,
Wow, thank you for the incredible review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear about your amazing experience at Tribal Rites Westminster with Kat. It’s fantastic that her artistic style resonated with you and that she brought your years-long vision to life, nailing the abstract/computational mathematics-inspired design with her geometric expertise. We love hearing how collaborative and quick she was with your design tweak, and how her focus and easygoing nature made those 2-hour and 10-hour sessions a breeze—her ability to keep the vibe great during long sessions is truly special! It’s awesome that your tattoo healed so quickly and that you’re super stoked with the result. We can’t wait to have you back for more of Kat’s bamf artistry, and we’re so glad you found our space clean and welcoming. Thanks for choosing us!
Warm regards,

Negative experience: $95 for an earring that has come apart and fallen out twice now.. just insane. I find this place to be extraordinarily overpriced and clearly the jewelry is inferior. How does an earring just come apart in your ear?? The technician even had to put the earring on for me and charged me $10 + tip to do so and two weeks later it’s gone. I’m going to Claire’s next time.
Fantastic experience: I have had all my piercings done here, this place is amazing. They get you in quick, even on busy days, the quality of the jewelry is great, the piecer is knowledgeable and explained everything. Everyone including the people are up front are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: Great people and made it a comfortable experience! Thank you Jane for my first piercing and David was great to visit with while we were waiting!
Hello Tasha,
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad Jane made your first piercing a comfortable and memorable experience, and that David’s great company added to the fun. Our team loves creating a welcoming vibe, and we’re thrilled you felt it! Come back anytime.
Kind regards,

Fantastic experience: I’m a male and did a piercing I’ve always wanted to do (iykyk) and I had an amazing experience. I actually had to cancel my first appointment because I just got too nervous and Liz was WAY more that comforting and understanding about it. Came back today and got it done. Liz is extremely professional, quick and very communicative. Avery was very quick to get me everything I needed when I had an adrenaline dump. They all kept it comedic and talkative the whole time to ease the nerves. I cannot thank every single one of them there enough for the professionalism. I feel so bad about this but I already forgot the receptionist’s name but he was awesome and kept the vibes cool long before I went back to get the piercing done. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Fantastic experience: Tribal Rites is an incredible place to get your work done at. I’ve gotten 3 different pieces done by Kenny Haskins and he has killed it every single time. He always makes the time to plan your design out and really goes above and beyond with everything relating the tattoo process. His artwork is amazing, his attention to details is amazing, and he is just a great person to get a tattoo done. For all 3 of my tattoos Kenny has seen my idea of what i want and came up with a design that is even better. All my appointments have been extremely cleanly and enjoyable. I can’t wait to get my next piece from Kenny in the future and i would recommend to anyone interested to look into his work!
Hey Hudson,
Wow, what an incredible review—thank you for sharing your amazing experiences with Tribal Rites and Kenny Haskins! We’re beyond thrilled to hear that Kenny has absolutely nailed all three of your tattoos, elevating your ideas into even better designs with his killer artistry and attention to detail. It’s awesome to know his dedication to planning, cleanliness, and making the process enjoyable shines through every time. We’re especially grateful for your kind words about our shop’s cleanliness and the care we put into ensuring a healthy tattoo process—it’s something we take to heart. Kenny’s going to be stoked to hear this, and we’ll make sure he gets the praise! We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next piece and appreciate your heartfelt recommendation for Kenny and Tribal Rites.
All the best,

Negative experience: Charged me $230 (not including tip) for ONE nose piercing. Rip off I noticed upon leaving they offered everyone a text or email receipt. I wasn’t offered one and I felt so awkward and bamboozled that I just left.
Dear Des,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and that you felt overcharged for your nose piercing. Your feedback about the pricing and not being offered a receipt is incredibly important, and we apologize for any oversight or discomfort caused. At Tribal Rites, we aim for transparency and a positive experience for everyone, and we’d like to make this right. Please reach out to us directly so we can discuss your concerns, clarify the pricing, and ensure you receive a proper receipt. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to restore your trust in us.
Sincerely,

Sorry for the late reply. This one got past us.
Fantastic experience: Kenny did an amazing job on my tattoo! You can tell he’s very passionate about his work! He made sure I was comfortable with size and placement and all over I had a very good experience! Definitely recommend going to Kenny for your next tattoo!
Hello Mordecai,
Thank you for the awesome review! We’re thrilled to hear Kenny’s passion for his craft shone through and that he made sure you were comfortable with every detail of your tattoo. It’s great to know you had such a positive experience, and we’ll pass your kind words along to him! Thanks for recommending Kenny—we can’t wait to see you back for your next piece.

Fantastic experience: Kenny at Tribal Rites is the best! Very professional and personable. He's an amazing artist and does incredible tattoos. I brought my initial idea to him, he put his own spin on it, and my mind was blown at how great it came out. I'll definitely be getting any future ink from Kenny (hoping for soon!). The shop itself is clean and has a good vibe. Thank you, guys!
Fantastic experience: I got a small tattoo from Kenny, amazing artist and guy!! I just turned 18 and was so excited to get it, and he was beyond amazing! It was a great atmosphere everyone there is so nice, and the tattoo turned out great!
Hello Debra,
Congrats on your first tattoo and turning 18—what a way to celebrate! We’re thrilled to hear Kenny was beyond amazing, creating a small tattoo you love while making the experience awesome with his artistry and great vibe. Thanks for shouting out the nice atmosphere and our friendly team; it means a lot! We can’t wait to see you back for more ink.
Cheers,

Negative experience: The individual with the blond/multi colored bob cut at the front desk was extremely entitled and was rude to us the moment we walked in, smirking and making rude comments that made us feel unwelcome. Our actual piercer was very nice. However, the rudeness of the individual was not worth the money. I have heard other things about this persons rudeness before and I’m not happy I experienced it myself. I was happy to go elsewhere for my piercing the next day.
Fantastic experience: I've had piercings done here and everyone is so nice and helpful I've also had multiple tattoos by Kenny and he's great! Listens to what you want and is super artistic, really an understanding & professional artist. (mwk.tattoos on IG)
Hey Sarah,
Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so glad you had a great experience with your piercings and that our team’s kindness and helpfulness stood out. Kenny’s going to be thrilled to hear your praise for his artistry, professionalism, and how he listens to bring your tattoo ideas to life! Thanks for the shoutout to his IG (mwk.tattoos)—we’ll pass this along to him. Hope to see you back for more piercings or ink soon!

Fantastic experience: Liz is freaking awesome!! She pierced my forward helix with some really cool locally made gold jewelry by Darling Body Jewelry and I am obsessed!! It healed beautifully and the whole process was awesome
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here with the tattoo artist, Kenny. He was very accommodating for what I wanted to do with my tattoo and went over different designs with me to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted. In the end, the tattoo came out great and I was very satisfied. Definitely recommend getting a tattoo with him if you are interested!
Fantastic experience: I have been here now for both piercings and a tattoo. Great experiences both times. My tattoo guy Kenny is amazing. He worked with me to get my tattoo ideas to paper, and the line detail is nothing short of perfection. The compliments I get say enough.I’m already making plans for the rest of my work with him and highly recommend for detailed work.
Hi Lindsey,
Thank you for the fantastic review and for choosing Tribal Rites for both your piercings and tattoo! We’re thrilled to hear Kenny worked his magic, bringing your tattoo ideas to life with perfect line detail—those compliments you’re getting say it all! It’s awesome that you’re already planning more work with him, and we’ll pass along your high praise for his detailed artistry. Can’t wait to see you back for your next piece!

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to put this out here but Kenny is one of the best tattoo artist I have ever met. I have gotten my first 2 tattoos from him and I will probably won't go to anyone else. He has done an amazing!!! They look amazing and have healed greatly!! He always makes it an awesome experience!!
Fantastic experience: Kat recently did the biggest piece that I’ve gotten so far. She’s done all of my pieces and i never have had a bad experience. The piece took longer than expected and she did an amazing job the entire time and made sure i was good to keep going throughout the afternoon/night. Would highly recommend this shop and the artist Kat.
Fantastic experience: Kenny did my ear tattoos yesterday and made the whole process so easy for me! He gave me time to pick what I wanted, gave me good advice about waiting on what I wasn't sure with, and was overall a pleasure to do this with. Not only that, but his skill in tattooing is incredible!!! 100% would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Kenny Haskins is THE MAN! My wife and I got matching tattoos by Kenny and the whole experience was fantastic! Kenny took his time with the design, making sure it was EXACTLY how we wanted it, created beautiful pieces of work on each of us and even spent plenty of time explaining the aftercare with us! I’ve had tattoos from 6 different artists and I will definitely be going back to Kenny when it’s time for the next piece! Thank you Kenny and Tribal Rites for a great experience in a very clean and inviting atmosphere!
Fantastic experience: This was a really great experience! Kenny H. was so accommodating. Our tattoo had been a work in progress for years. Kenny helped us realize our vision…end result is so much more than I could have imagined!!!
Hi Chas,
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear Kenny H. helped bring your years-long tattoo vision to life, exceeding your expectations with his accommodating approach and incredible talent. It’s amazing to know the end result was more than you imagined! We’ll pass this along to Kenny, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience, got a tattoo with Kenny who helped me and made an amazing design for a turtle tattoo that I have been wanting for awhile. This was my first tattoo and he made the whole experience a lot less stressful for me so I appreciated that.
Fantastic experience: Kenny is the guy for tattoos at this location. My sister and I booked with Kenny for a memorial tattoo of our late father and Kenny worked his magic for us! I will definitely go back for my next major piece.
Fantastic experience: My artist was Kenny, he is such an amazing tattoo artist and always made sure I was doing good and took his time to make the tattoo look amazing! I will definitely be booking with him again for my future tattoos
Hey Carli,
That’s awesome to hear! Kenny’s talent and care really shine through, and we’re thrilled he made your tattoo experience so great with his attention to detail and check-ins. Can’t wait to have you back for more ink with him—thanks for the love!

Fantastic experience: Kenny has been my artist for a while now and he’s amazing at what he does. The work he creates is always beautiful and incredibly well done. I’ve always felt comfortable around him and so has everyone I’ve brought to him. The vibes are always top tier and i’d recommend the shop to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Ive been getting pieces done by Kenny since june 2024. Each session has went really smooth and I've been super happy with the two pieces I have got from him. He has also given me great ideas for other pieces I want to get in the future, all of which I want to get done by him due to his skill, art style, and his ability to minimize pain to a great degree. I plan on getting more tattoos from him in the foreseeable future.
Fantastic experience: Kenny is an amazing artist/tattoo expert!! Not only is his working amazing but how he is able to work with someone that has multiple illnesses including diabetic 1, heart disease, and coronary artery disease. Kenny will work with anyone that has illnesses and knows how to manage each session beyond anyone I have ever worked with. I have worked with 6 tattoo artists in the past and I will tell you Kenny is five stars compared to 2 star artists that I worked with before. I have had work done in Las Vegas and Denver CO and Kenny is just all around amazing!! Oh, and Kenny’s attitude and coolness is way hard to find. Please go see Kenny or look him up on social media!! I am so blessed by Kenny’s work and please see my photos attached. Thank you Kenny for being so amazing!!! Brandon P

Fantastic experience: Kenny (mwk.tattoos) was fantastic to work with! It was easy to plan appointments with him, and his line work, attention to detail, and stunning realism techniques were perfect for bringing my art dream to life. He was very collaborative and it was easy to tell he really cares about the work he does as well as being kind and considerate to his clients. My tattoo was a multi-session piece which was very reasonably priced, and Kenny always checked in with me regarding what I thought about how the piece was progressing as well as if I needed breaks during the sessions. He’s very passionate about the work he does and his skill is well beyond his years. Excellent artist to go to for realism!
Fantastic experience: Shop is super clean and everyone there is great to work with! Sent several friends in for piercings and have gotten a couple of tattoos from Kenny. He's a great artist that has amazing talent and is super professional! Is always willing to tweak something if need be and has very good attention to detail. I'd recommend Kenny and this shop to anyone that is looking for ink and artists that bring your ideas out
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with KW for my recent tattoo, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, KW was professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. I gave him a general idea of what I wanted and just let him go for it and his artistry and talent definitely exceeded my expectations! If you're looking for a talented and dedicated artist who really cares about the craft, I highly recommend KW. I’m hoping to be back for more!
Greetings Emma,
Thank you for sharing such a fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear KW delivered an exceptional experience, turning your general idea into a tattoo that exceeded your expectations with his professionalism and incredible artistry. It’s awesome to know his dedication to the craft shone through! We’ll pass along your kind words, and we’re excited to welcome you back for more ink with KW soon.

Fantastic experience: Kenny is the man!! His art and use of realism is amazing! I have two tattoos so far from him and I am in the works for another piece. Kenny takes his time to make sure your tattoo looks epic when it's all done!
Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of working with a few extremely professional people at Tribal Rights. One I would like to highlight. Kenny, has made my experience in a tattoo shop comfortable, affordable, and very professional. Got me and a friend in, did the exact design we wanted, and at a completely reasonable price. I would have no other Tattoo (and also piercing) Shop I would recommend to anyone. Honestly, I have no complaints, and have been completely won over for any further tattoos or piercings. I will continue to bring my business here an recommend anyone else the same.
Fantastic experience: I went to get a piece by Kenny at Tribal Rites of a skeleton praying. I went to do this on my birthday. After meeting Kenny for the first time, he was very careful with creating my vision, and worked so diligently to create the best experience, the best product, and to make it very affordable. He was so interesting to talk to, and it really showed that he is a passionate artist. I have vowed to never go anywhere else but Kenny, however there are plenty of extremely talented artists here. PLEASE GO HERE!! IT IS THE BEST EXPERIENCE YOU CAN GET!!! BRING YOUR FRIENDS!! THANK YOU KENNY
Fantastic experience: This location was amazing! I got my first tattoo done for my 18th birthday by Kenny and it was great. I was able to express and receive exactly what I wanted for my first one. I felt comfortable the whole time and just had an overall amazing experience!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, it’s a little on the expensive side but it’s well worth it. Kenny my tattoo artist did an amazing piece on me. He really cares about how the client feels throughout the whole process and is super understanding. Most definitely coming back to this place and I highly recommend it.
Hi Gabe,
Thank you for the fantastic review and for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear Kenny created an amazing tattoo for you and made you feel cared for throughout the process with his understanding approach. Your kind words and recommendation mean the world to us, and we’re glad you found the experience worth it! We’ll pass this along to Kenny, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more.

Fantastic experience: I've had 2 experiences here and both were great. Liz did ear piercing for my daughter and she was so patient, kind and professional with her and really put her at ease. Kenny did some fine line tattoos for me and 2 friends and was so easy to work with. He helped us finalize designs and did a great job with the whole process. Super professional and easy to work with. We were all super happy with our results!
Fantastic experience: Kenny did a sternum piece for me, designed it all based off random ideas I threw at him. The design and final piece came out absolutely amazing. Definitely will be going back for my future tattoos.
Positive experience: Update: I was able to get in contact with Liz and we were able to make this situation right. Original review: I went here to get two earlobe piercings and was told that the total for a set was $45. I was fine with the price. When I went to pay, I was shocked to find out that two sets of earrings and an individual stud was $300. I only got jewelry so I wasn’t charged a piercing fee for the earlobes. Apparently there is a fee for the post of $15 per earring, which they don’t tell you until the piercings are done and you’re about to walk out. To top the experience off, two weeks later, one of my lobes is infected and has a giant bump on it. Update got my abscess removed just over two weeks after getting my earlobe piercings reopened. $300 for the trauma of having to get a procedure done on my earlobes on a random Tuesday. Save yourself the money and headache and take your business elsewhere. Went back and there piercer was clearly high and just said everything was fine with my conch. Oh and for the consumers out there, the piercer sat right behind the front desk staff during check out as they asked how much you wanted to tip. It was super uncomfortable. Mo was an awesome piercer and this review should not be taken as a reflection of their work in anyway.
Positive experience: Got my second piercing in both ears. Staff friendly. Loved the guy that did the piercing. Very friendly and nice. Did a good job.
Fantastic experience: My daughter got her first ear piercing, my older got her second and I got my second nose piercing! Will not go anywhere else! They did an amazing job and so fast!
Fantastic experience: Spectacular place, guys. I applaud you all for a wonderful experience from start to finish. We came in a few days prior to our tattoo date, to inquire about pricing, as well as discuss our design for matching tattoos. The front office staff were extremely friendly, and helpful/knowledgeable. I wish I thought to get your names ladies because you were all delightful to work with. They had us speak with a couple artists and provided contact information on all of the artists that we spoke to. We spoke with Kenny, and Dean. Both were very helpful and receptive to designing and providing much needed feedback for tattoo design! Solely due to availability we went with Kenny since I was visiting from out of town. Both of these artists were fabulous. We felt very comfortable and excited with what we discussed and decided with the artists. The day of the tattoo we finalized our design thoughts with the artist. We decided to change a couple things for the final design. The artist was great to chat with and he was very professional. After care was explained thoroughly, and the tattoo is healing well! Very clean technique was used. Very very happy with this shop, and will be back again!
Thank you for the great review!
We look forward to seeing you again!

General Manager
Fantastic experience: I took my six year old for an ear piercing after she had an ear infection the first attempt. The team is welcoming and professional. They set my daughter up for success!
Negative experience: We went here to get a piercing ring changed out. They told us a price of $40-$45, then after the new ring was put in and we were ready to pay, they said they quoted us a wrong price and it was actually $97! I asked if they could honor the original price they quoted us. The best they could do was $70! We had them take the ring out. The good ol' bait and switch.
Neva,
I am very sorry this happened. This is completely against policy. Not an excuse, but we have been training a couple new people. Please contact us at [email protected] and we will get this straightened out for you right away. Again, I am sorry for the hassle.
Sincerely,
Mike Shuger
President Tribal Rites
Fantastic experience: Favorite piercing studio, all staff I've interacted with are excellent, and Liz Murphy is my by far favorite piercer, really skilled piercer in all regards, wild depth and breadth of knowledge. Been going to her for 3? years. She's done both of my tongue piercings, navel, industrial, and nipples. My friends have had multiple eyebrows, PA, various weird ones, and my longtime area resident friends full of even more holes often reccomend her, too. All healed very well, no complications, excellent placement, jewellery selection and recs, and aftercare advice. I expect her peers at the studio have a high level of skill as well, although I have not had work done. From professionalism, to comfort in the process, to skill in executing the piercing, to working with all bodies as being unique and varied ( I ALWAYS suggest her to my queer, trans, disabled, and fat friends, because she is perfect for them especially). I simply will not go to another studio or piercer if she is available to book. Strong chance I'd travel or time my piercings with other travel if she moved, and I would pay more (which can be done w tipping :)), it is really and truly worth it in my mind to visit someone of this caliber for anything more complex than a lobe or easy helix or navel or septum piercing. Again, it is easier, you get better advice, you get general knowledge of the piercing process that other piercers are not able to provide mid-process. She makes it look crazy easy. I cannot speak to her proficiency with piercing children, because I am not a children, but from all accounts it is nicer than a lot of other experiences. If I was a child I think I would also suggest her if I wanted my ears etc pierced, deeply courteous and informative and skilled at making the process feel natural and smooth and nice. I had mid or even kind of bad piercing experiences at other locations, or just uncertainty on skill level, and Liz has always surpassed expectations. I feel very lucky I found her.
Positive experience: went in for a septum. took 30 minutes to clean the jewelry, then 5 minutes to do the piercing itself. Jane was so nice and comfortable during the entire thing an it looks so good!. healing has been easy, I follow the instructions she sent me home with and I'm so happy.
Fantastic experience: Marlee's 7th birthday was everything she hoped it would be. Liz Murphy was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure Marlee was comfortable and ready for her first piercing. 11/10 will be returning.
Fantastic experience: Great tattoo and piercing shop! The piercer (I'm sorry I forget their name) was super professional and friendly. It was my first times getting my ear lobes pierced, so I was a little nervous. But it barely hurt lol.
Fantastic experience: I've been to around 6 different shops in the last couple years, trying to find a place that did quality work and were also personable. My first interaction with this shop was a phone call I made to them. They had time to take me as a walk-in for piercings, so I arrived maybe 30 minutes later. My piercing artist was Ben, and I don't have enough good things to say about him! Not only was he knowledgeable about his craft, but he followed strict guidelines to ensure my safety. I tried to convince him to do an industrial on top of two daiths, but he reasonably put his foot down, and I acknowledge his wisdom now. The daiths are placed damn near perfectly. I did spring for one additional piercing, a new navel one to replace my old one which stretched way out over the years. All three piercings were professionally done, and that's really only HALF of why I'm going back. Speaking with Ben was beyond easy, I think he might be able to calm the most freaked out modification virgin in under 10 minutes. He recommended other artists for various modifications I've been considering, and wrote down contact info for those who's cards he didn't have available. He also recommended a tattoo artist who works in the same shop, based on my descriptions of rework, coverup, and new ideas. That guy is named Dean, and gotta shout him out now too! Dean set me up for a consult about a neck piece coverup very quickly. A day or two after my first visit. Dean took my rambling ideas and fired off 5ish ideas the night he was answering my questions via email. He seems modest about his abilities, but I need to shout this: HE'S HUNGRY TO CREATE. The way he articulated his understanding of my anxiety rambling was very professional. His hour rate was more than I expected, but just based on his online portfolio and the sketches he made I'm very willing to pay it. His art seems super complimentary to my ideas, and I'm beyond hopeful the coverup succeeds, cuz I have a lot of ink to fix. Overall: I'm overwhelmingly happy to have found this shop. I've spoken to 4 people who work there, and all 4 are polite, responsive, and friendly. If the shop owner sees this review: your hiring process is superb! I'll add more after my first tattoo session (dean was booked out a few weeks, but he has me near the first)
Fantastic experience: All of the front workers were so nice and helpful! Made my husband and I feel comfortable and truly expressed how sorry they were when they found out they didn't have the jewelry to pierce what I wanted pierced. AMAZING customer service!
