Mars did an amazing job on my tattoo! He took his time and made sure that it was something that I would love... which I am absolutely in love with it. I highly recommend going to Omega Red to get your tattoo because they will listen to what you want and are so easy to talk to!

I’ve been going here for several years for piercings & have always had a good experience.

This place was very easy to get an appointment schedule, they take a deposit to secure your spot. Tattooing is fast too... however- tattoo artists are not considerate of time, and show up rather late. Tattoo artist was over 10 minutes late, and took almost 2 hours to prepare their station, and trace the stencils of the tattoo. When actually tattooing, only took 30-40 minutes to finish (super fast and clean lines!) also, I understand not everyone wants to wear masks during this pandemic, but please do not cough in your client’s faces. It is extremely unhygienic and dangerous. Please be mindful of your time if you want to keep customers.

one of the tattoo artist is very rude, i called just to ask a simple question and he didn’t even let me talk or ask the question. just kept shutting me down. i also got my tongue pierced and the piercing is sideways causing The bottom of my tongue to swell and it is extremely irritated.

Jeff did my tattoos and was very patient to get the placement just where I wanted it. He left all decisions up to me and when I wasn't sure on color- he said to wait and add later- can't take it out once done but can always add. Lines are clean and tattoos are healing nicely. I went in for a double heart on my arm and left with a cross on my other arm too- which he was able to add during the appointment time. Would definitely go back- the front desk girl was very nice as well.

Was relatively easy to get an appointment scheduled and they communicated with me well! Everything about getting my septum pierced was clean, painless, & professional. The only qualm I have is not being given any directions for aftercare other than acting like it doesn't exist and leaving it alone. Wasn't prepared to feel like my someone had punched my nose for a week plus the swelling since this is my second piercing on my nose. But asked around for suggestions on care from friends who had had their septum done. Something I should consider asking more about next time.

I made a spontaneous decision to get my tongue pierced. Was terrified. But the guy piercing me was really calm and helped try to take my mind off of the needle and such. It was also very clean. I watched them sterilize everything myself. All in all highly recommend.

My experience wasn't bad (just went there on December 30th, 2021), a small little hiccup during the piercing process due to my nose being a gusher (nose is bruised and has a small amount of swelling due to the slight problem with my nose). Sadly a few days later my nose ring popped off while I was blowing my nose. Thankfully I had just bought some spare rings and popped one in. Not fully sure why it happened (probably the swelling), but I am not dissatisfied with the experience as the guy who pierced me was very nice. Really this is probably just a fluke, I mean, none of us expected my nose to gush blood like that (picture cheesy movies where blood spurts out when a body part gets severed). All in all, not too bad of an experience and I am happy that I finally got this done.
