Love this place!! I got my son's name on my forearm in a very fancy font while each letter is filled in with two colors and it was worth every penny!! Very clean and safe environment. The owner is a very friendly guy and the rest of the artists are awesome too. I will definitely be going back again!

Went in to get my dermal piercing and my daughter got her belly piercing.....it was fast and painless....I'm going back in a few weeks!! I truly recommend Skin Worthy Tattoos for all your needs...AWESOME STAFF, funny too... now the bad news. 2 weeks later my dermal was coming out and I had to remove it. They tried to charge me $20 or $25 to take it out after I paid over $40 to get it!!! I let it fall out on its own......Neosporin was my friend. I healed perfectly!!! Pay attention to the procedures they do. They're different...i have to take away 2 stars......

The shop itself is nothing like I've ever seen before. It was so open, the guys were very friendly, the music was different (which was very refreshing) and overall very clean. Let me not forget the bathroom! Don't forget to use it, it's badass. My artist was really cool, very thorough in his explanation of aftercare as well. I will say I'm not 100% happy with my tattoo. Obviously, it's not as bright as the day I got it, which is expected. But if you look closely you can see the outline stand out more than the color filled it, as if it wasn't blended well or the fill in color wasn't filled in enough. One of the major lines isn't straight, but I guess I could blame that on the lines on my achilles tendon? Also, a piece is missing that was never tattooed. Not terribly worried about it because it's small, between the ankle bone and achilles tendon on the inside of my left foot. Doubt anyone will get that close, but I know it's not there so it's annoying. What was really interesting is they offer free touch ups up to six months after your original appointment! I've never had that offered before. Overall, the experience was great, my tattoo is just 'okay'.

Got a few different piercings by Jordon and he was very professional and funny which made it a lot less nerve racking! Definitely would recommend and plan on going back for more piercings!

When I went I got a piercing, a helix one. The girl didn't get the needle through all the way on the first try but still tried to stick the piercing piece in. Let me tell you, it was insanely painful and there was a lot of blood. Went to another piercer at my now favorite shop and they said there might be some issues healing.

My friend wanted to get her first tattoo of an arrow(extremely basic and only about 3 inches long). We called and were told that there would be someone available for walk-ins and drove an hour from where we live to get there. When we showed up, the apprentice (who answered the phone and told us someone would be available) was the only one there. He then proceeded to convince my friend that he could easily do her tattoo. She really wanted to get it and it was simple enough we figured you couldnt really mess it up.
I have two tattoos of my own and have seen plenty of other people get them done so I noticed a few things were off. First off, he took extremely long to set up. He kept playing with the gun settings and speeds and settled on something that seemed very low. That is when I started to get concerned but my friend had already paid upfront and we didnt want to leave.
Almost 45 minutes of him "tattooing" a tiny arrow on her shoulder later we were ready to leave. Before we could, he kept tugging and pulling at different parts of her sore shoulder to check what spots he missed and hurting his customer.
This whole time, another artist walked in about fifteen minutes in to the process and continued to be loud, obnoxious, and ignoring the clearly struggling customer less than ten yards away to attend to his girl friend.
Now, a week later, her wobbly and gap filled arrow has now faded to a pencil lead color and when we call, the apprentice is the one answering phones and still pushing his services.
We are driving to Ames tonight to get her tattoo basically completely re done. I will not return or recommend this place to others.
