Nice looking shop, the work turned out good, but $350 for a piece that took less than an hour and a half is ridiculous, Lawyers don't even charge that much.

Cristina did a great job with ear piercing for my daughter (age 14)!

I’ve been getting tattooed for a long time now and have never seen a shop as awesome as this. Great people, great artists and very friendly atmosphere. I brought my daughter to get her first one here and we’ll definitely be coming back for more.

I can’t brag on Kyra enough, not only is she professional and thorough, but she genuinely cares about what she puts on your body and makes sure that you absolutely love it before she does. She literally makes you feel at home and I will never go to any other tattoo artist but her! She’s one of a kind in the best absolute way!

Always a great experience!! I have had 4 tattoos done here and they all look amazing! I do not mind the prices since the work done always comes out amazing. Will definitely have this as my regular go-to shop!

I had mostly a good experience here. My daughter wanted her ears pierced for her 7th birthday. I called around a lot of places and this was the first place that could do it (she was anxious to get it done and TTGTC was able to schedule same day). Her piercer Mandy was awesome and sweet, very careful to make sure both sides were even and talk to her about what was going on for each step. She was patient and knowledgeable with my questions, too - making sure they used proper sterilization procedures, etc. There was no bleeding and is almost no redness or swelling the next day. I have no complaints at all about the piercing itself.
Here are the things I wish were different and why I docked one star: 1. Jewelry. I was not thrilled with the jewelry choices. The free jewelry options were all very simple steel balls with butterfly backs. I was expecting a flat or locking back since these have to stay in so long. Even the options that cost extra were not that great. I've seen better quality jewelry and more options at most other places. 2. Aftercare supplies. Namely, they were not included. I've had a number of piercings myself and they've always given some sort of wound wash or saline. They did have some I could have bought. 3. Notary. This is a tiny nit, but it's pretty easy to become a notary. Since all minors must have a notarized form, it would be nice if the receptionist could notarize rather than me having to go to the UPS store. 4. Price. With tip I paid $100 for earlobe piercings that took about 10 minutes. I know that good piercing places must charge a lot, they have disposable implements and an autoclave, etc, and I'll pay for quality, but between the jewelry, having to go buy aftercare supplies, and having to pay a notary, it seems overpriced and was more than all but one of the other places I called. Soapbox time: I'm a strong proponent of taking girls to professional piercing places that use needles, not piercing guns. I try to convince everyone I know. But when Claire's and the mall pierce for free with the purchase of a pair of earrings, it's a hard sell. A great step to making professional-ear-piercing-not-guns more popular would be to close the gap as much as possible. Anyway, the piercer herself is the important part and that was great, but imo 5 stars is for businesses that go the extra mile. Had they used better jewelry and thrown in aftercare, 5 stars even at that price. Had they charged less, expecting me to buy aftercare and bring my own jewelry if I wanted more than butterfly backs, 5 stars. The overall combination, however, left me feeling it could have been better.
(Something to note for parents of young kids: the decor is somewhat macabre. The logo includes a coffin, there are taxidermied animals, tribal-type masks, and a variety of skulls (including human). This did not bother my daughter in the least, she was actually psyched about the human skull, but if you are bringing young kids who are frightened by things like that, might want to prep them.)

I’m in love with my tattoo! Walked in and immediately felt comfortable by the staff. Mike is incredibly talented and made sure I was 100% happy with my design. Thank you so much! So glad our group decided on this place.
