Fantastic experience: We’re on the road trip of a lifetime to celebrate my birthday. Got my favourite artist to sign my arm and then decided to get it tattooed. A quick search bought up Pretty in Ink. They were amazing from start to finish. It’s my first tattoo but Jessica put me at ease from the start. Did an amazing job. The whole place was super friendly. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough. It’s a shame I’m from England, but I think if I ever decided to get another tattoo I’d be tempted to travel and see these guys again!!

Shawn had actually done my nose and tongue almost 10 years ago so when i decided i wanted my nose re done i knew i wanted to go to him again if possible. i’m glad i found his info on instagram. thanks again Shawn. To anyone looking to get any piercings, Shawn is awesome and i will always recommend him.

We did a 9-hour session for a Catholic piece, and her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail were incredible from start to finish. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time, checked in often, and took real care in making every line and shade perfect.The artwork came out even better than I imagined — clean, meaningful, and beautifully done. You can tell she truly cares about her craft and about giving her clients something they’ll be proud to wear for life. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, talented artist who puts her heart into every tattoo. Let her know that Jesus recommended you to her for your next tattoo.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a client of Shawn’s for years. He’s always been professional and advises piercings that are aesthetically complimentary to my face shape. He thoroughly explains aftercare, and I trust him in his experience and knowledge, not just in the moment of piercing but in the continuation of piercing care after care. I’ve seen his practice grow and change over the years and he’s always had health and safety of his clients in mind. He has always provided above and beyond customer service, and standard of care. He offers top notch jewelry selection unlike I’ve ever seen before from a piercer. I’ve been with him through 4 shops over the years. He’s the only piercer I will go to. So if you want quality care, quality jewelry, and quality service, go to Shawn!

Fantastic experience: Shawn was so amazing. Very knowledgeable and his “bed side manner” is far better than any piercer I’ve experienced.

Fantastic experience: He was a really good piercer! He did everything I asked and did a good job!!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Pretty In Ink. The shop is very clean, organized, & professional. Everyone who works there is very kind & looking to make sure all of their customers have a great experience. I had a couple of piercings done by Shawn, & I absolutely love everything he does. His piercing station is in the back to be out of view from anyone else, in case he does "personal" areas, & all of his equipment is from sterile packages. He let's you see how he cleans his station & sets up his "sterile field" for his "procedure". I'm a nurse, so I appreciate how clean & meticulous he is. He also chatted with me & made sure I was comfortable. Shawn makes sure to go over after care with you & answer any questions you have, & leaves you his card to contact him with any questions or issues that may come up. I recommend Shawn every time!

Fantastic experience: I love my piece. The details and shading are amazing, and everything was very clean and professional. He created exactly what I asked for and was great to talk to throughout the session.

Fantastic experience: Shawn did my industrial piercing for a good price, also did my piercing fast and smoothly. Gave after care tips etc. I would recommend

Fantastic experience: I have came to Shawn multiple times over the pst few years. He is highly experienced and talented. I trust him with all of my piercings. I got my ears pierced as a little girl and have never been able to wear jewelry because of how sensitive my lobes are to nickel. As soon as I wear jewelry in them, they immediately become inflamed and itchy. To the point where I started to accept I would never wear earrings. I finally messaged Shawn and asked what my options were as one last cry for help. He had me come into the shop and pick out the jewelry I wanted and he placed them in my ears. NO IRRITATION!!! I am almost in tears. I thought I would never be able to wear earrings. Shawn has once again nailed it Highly recommend him to everyone who wants piercings or has issues like I do with finding jewelry my body accepts. Thanks !!!

Fantastic experience: Got my belly button pierced, I was super nervous but Shawn made me feel so comfortable & welcome. Pain level 4-5 out of 10. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Customer service was amazing! Got a conch piercing done by Shawn, it was very quick and easy. Overall great experience and would come again for my next piercing!

Fantastic experience: I got my first piercing from Shawn 20 years ago. And I’ve only trusted him since then..7 in total! He has also pierced my daughter 3 times. Shawn is very quick and efficient in his work, however he takes the time to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed as well. All my piercings have been minimal pain and quick healing. I have needed him after hours for questions and concerns and he has always been available and helped me with all my needs. Shawn is truly an awesome guy and great at adding the extra bling to your body!! 10 out of 10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have trusted Shawn with numerous piercings. He observes sterile technique, understands the anatomy for safe piercing, has quality jewelry, and is responsive to any questions regarding healing. He is the person I recommended to my best friend when she wanted a new piercing, and I recommend him to you, too!

Fantastic experience: Jessica was extremely friendly and welcoming. She did an amazing job on my tattoo. She messaged me back promptly which I greatly appreciated. It was also super clean in there. I would 100% go back to her for future tattoos and recommend her to everyone.

Fantastic experience: i got my eyebrow pierced by shawn, and let me tell you that man was awesome! he even texted me the day after and i told him i loved it. just be aware that you can’t have anyone with you in the room when getting pierced which did make me nervous but he reassured me that it would be a quick, easy piercing. it was exactly that, quick and easy. he made me very painless and even when putting in my jewelry i thought it would hurt but nope, it didn’t hurt one bit. he told me it would be $60, so i was thinking it would be $60 for just the jewelry plus a piercing fee, plus more on top. also nope! it was $60 even and i loved the jewelry it came with. overall he made it a 1.5/10 for the pain of the piercing. i definitely will be coming back for any future piercings!
