I have been several places and no where made me feel as comfortable as here. Chris was very friendly and gave great advice as well as a wonderful tattoo. I would recommend him to anyone and will be going back. The environment was very clean and welcoming which is hard to find. Definitely great!

The staff was friendly, was there a waiting for a friend to get a tattoo done and had a few laughs at the artists yelling at Amazon Echo. it took quite a bit of restraint to not respond like a game of Marco Polo LOL. Artists are great very helpful with information when my fiance had questions about getting a piercing. Very open-minded individuals

I have been going to Chris for my tattoo's. I now have four done by him and each and everyone has turned out amazing. He listens to what I want. He will put his input in but like some people I been to he doesn't force it. Chris is very professional and so easy to talk to. Its a very welcoming shop and everyone that works there is great to talk to and makes you feel welcomed. As long as Chris is in the tattoo game I'll be going to him.

I have many tattoos already from a variety of places and artist but my most favorite was recently obtained from Tooth and Nail tattoo.
Upon walking into the shop I was pleased with the sharp decor and soft lighting. The artist there display some their wall and there are beautiful display cases for the piercing jewelry. I was greeted by the owner and piercer Chadilliac. I told him what kind of tattoo I was interested in and he referred me to Emi Lee Hollinger. He kindly told me what time she comes in and gave me her card.
I met with Emi and told her my idea and the style I like and the design I wanted. She was very receptive to my idea and was nice enough to show me a design she had done that was similar in concept. She took a $50 deposit and helped me schedule my tattoo.
Once I was done scheduling my tattoo I spoke with Chad once again, who was just as friendly as before. I informed him that I would like a piercing and he gave me the paperwork I needed, told me price, and took me back to his small booth. Chad talked to me about jewelry options and we both decided that bars would be best for healing (nipple piercings). He also informed me that the type of bars he uses he could change the color from plain silver to purple (and blue, green, red, etc). I was intrigued by the process and he explained to me how it works and gave me a color sheet to choose from. I chose a lovely eggplant color. My only complaint would be that though the process is very neat the color does not stand out as much as I would have hoped but I am still happier with a muted purple than silver. It has been almost two weeks since I got this piercing and I have zero issues with healing or lingering pain. I intend to go back to him for more piercings in the future.
On to my tattoo experience with Emi. I met with her a little before my scheduled time. She was setting up her booth to do my tattoo. She and the other individuals in the shop were welcoming and polite when I came in. She handed me the paperwork to complete for my tattoo. Once that was done she showed me her design that drew for me and it was exactly what I wanted (if not better!). It was a rather large tattoo so she took her time placing the stencil and replaced it to ensure it was a-lined perfectly. It took about 15-20 minutes for the stencil to dry completely. During that time we chit chatted and I was able to go out for a smoke to prepare myself. I will also mention that during this time I had my dress tucked into my underwear and not one soul in that shop made me feel awkward about it and that is greatly appreciated. Once the stencil dried we started the tattooing. I chose to have the tattoo on my upper thigh and it was more painful than I anticipated. Emi was understanding and talked to me during the process and soon I adjusted. She made great conversation and when there was silence it was not awkward. During the tattooing process we took two breaks and I was grateful for them. Upon completing the tattoo she looked it over carefully to make sure no lines were missed, there were two, she filled them in and did a few final touches. She cleaned my tattoo, rubbed it down with soap and water, witch hazel, and rubbing alcohol (which sucks as much as one would think), then she wrapped it. She closed up shop while I admired my tattoo and then rang me up. She also recommended Redemption which is an aftercare that is all natural.
Before leaving the shop I scheduled my next appointment to start an experiment with color and we left for the evening.
I would recommend this shop to both people with tattoos and people that are seeking to get their first. Everyone is polite and friendly and they all seem like they will do their best to make sure you get a great tattoo (including telling you that your idea may not work). I will be going back there for any all tattoo and piercing work from now on. I am excited to start exploring color with Emi and may try to talk to Joe about darker themes.

I was there with my son we both had got the same tattoo done. I had mine done after my son got his done. I felt that the artist was being rushed by his girlfriend that kept passing back and forth by the door. At 1 point she came in and said (jeez just gonna take your time and get all the detail) well I'd hope so! Needles to say my tattoo looks like it was way overworked and scared. My sons tattoo looks nice.
I dont have Facebook, I'm not downing your shop in anyway. I know the guy that did it isn't a normal artist there.

First time here. Walked in and someone announces they’ll be with us in a minute. Stood there nearly 10 min. a worker walked by us and went outside to have a cigarette. Waited a couple more minutes and left. Almost felt because we were females, with no tattoos visible, we were disrespected. Will never give them my business. First impression is everything.
