Big City Tattoo has a great team of employees. Everyone there is always so pleasant and nice. They are reasonable with prices. One of the many reason why I love going there. Plus their artwork is AMAZING! NEVER FAIL TO AMAZE ME! I would so recommend getting your tattoos here.

The guy who does the piercings, Malik (sp?), is awesome. I’ve gotten three on the inside of my ear. He is personable and knowledgeable. He recommended that I make my own saline solution and it was the best advice I’ve ever gotten for my piercings. I will definitely go back and recommend to a friend!

I just visited the shop and had an urge to write a review. I went to get a second ear piercing and Malik was very easy to work with. He is detail oriented and did an excellent job making sure we had the placement just right. Thank you for your great service! :D
Also - the price is fantastic (Especially for us college students).

Got my ears pierced for the first time. So I did all my research and chose this place. I'm really glad I did. When I got there I only had a 10 minute wait. Then when it was time to get them done he was very patient and skilled. I highly recommend going there. It's only $5 per ear piercing.

I got my lip and tongue pierced here at two separate times. Both experiences were wonderful. The staff was professional and seemed to know what they were doing. Both piercings came out well, it was super quick for a reasonable price. I think I spent about $40 each for both I'd recommend them for their piercings

Disappointed! Not professional and very irresponsible of them to hire anyone!
I’d have done better if tried by myself!
Considering to see a lawyer, I’ll have to remove the whole thing with laser

I recently visited the shop with my daughter on the 2 yr anniversary of my mothers passing. My daughter wanted to get something special to honor my mother(her Nana)she picked something she'd found online. Eli wanted to tweak it a little so she something original. What he did was so much more beautiful than the one she'd originally choose. He took his time, put a lot of effort & it truly felt like he was tattooing her with love & compassion. It was a very emotional thing for my daughter & I & he made even more special with his words of encouragement & empathy. It's her 1st tattoo & he kept telling her how great she was doing & that he was proud of her. She was scared & he made her calm & comfortable. It was so nice to sit & talk while he tattooed the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. He was able to take my mothers actual handwriting & put it on her. For her & I both to be able to look at that & see her actual handwriting is going to comfort us for many years to come. I plan on going back to get my own tattoo to honor & remember my mom. I hope you are able to read this Eli(& also the woman who was there also...I can't remember her name)you both wer very encouraging & kind. I can't wait to go back. We drove from Buffalo NY & I can honestly say I would gladly make that drive again. I'd drive 6 hrs if I had to. Again thank you both for making that experience so special for us.
