I had such a good experience at Old School. I got both my helix and lobes pierced and both Sal and his apprentice did an amazing job. Very friendly and welcoming and made me feel very comfortable there. Thank you so much!

Discrimination Rude Staff Poor Customer Service Intimidation

Absolute worst experience at a local business I’ve ever had. First appointment, I could tell the guy didn’t like me just because I didn’t fit his profile. He was rude. Not at all friendly. Wouldn’t even really talk to me. I went back for my 2nd appt and he wasn’t ready. Then proceeded to tell me that my appointment was on a different day and then told me I had to have a mask on. I didn’t have one. Asked for one and they told me to go buy one. Mind you, the two workers WERE NOT WEARING MASKS. The guy then proceeded to berate me and try to intimidate me when I said I wasn’t going to go buy a mask. Would have gladly put one on if they had one for me there, like all other business offer. He was basically trying to start a fight with me over this. I have his name and I’ll be reporting him to the police and the state board. If you’re a regular person like me and not one of “their ppl”, you will be discriminated against. Oh, and at my first appt, nobody asked me to wear a mask. So they are selective about who they are rude to. Discrimination all around. It’s very unfortunate. Getting threatened while getting a tattoo was not what I had in mind. Cowards is how I would describe these people. Please keep in mind I had no problem putting on a mask but they couldn’t offer me one and I didn’t have one with me. I heard countless ppl tell me not to go here but I went 20 years ago when I got my first one so I decided to try it again because the first experience was amazing!

Friendly Staff Skilled Piercer Good Vibe

Second time going there. I really enjoy the vibe of this place and how friendly everyone is at the shop. My piercer Cori is very skilled and is very friendly and good at describing her steps while going through it. I will definitely be coming back again, maybe for a tattoo next time 💕

Unfriendly Service Bad Experience Not Recommended

In the spur of the moment 3 adults decided to get a tattoo, so we came down to this place, I told them what I wanted and I was quoted. We agreed to pay the minimum since it was a very simple and quick tattoo. We are happy with it. But I think the service needs improvement. I tried to make conversations with the artist and it simply didn’t work. The other two persons that went with me felt as if the artist didn’t even want to do it from the beginning. She was very unfriendly and quiet throughout the experience, not to mention it was a first time experience for one of the one that got tattooed.
I always like to see the good in people, and tried to convinced my wife and daughter that some people are just quiet and we should just enjoy the moment. It was a pretty bad experience and I only stayed courteous because it was my daughters first experience and I didn’t want this to leave a stain.
I mentioned how I wanted to finish my sleeve but definitely will not consider using the same artist. Too many smoke breaks, unfriendly attitude is not what I look for in a tattoo establishment.
Will not recommend either to any of my friends.

talented artists attention to detail worth checking out

The artists here are incredibly talented and each and everyone of them love what they do. They are quick, yet their attention to detail ranks them (personally) as some of the best artist in the city. Definitely worth checking out!

Great Experience Professional Staff

Cori pierced my nose and did an amazing job! I was very pleased with the way the piercing went. Quick and easy. I’ve always been known to pass out when i got piercings/tattoos and i mentioned that to her and she was completely understanding about it and even got me water once i started feeling light headed after the piercing. Overall i had a great experience and i will definitely be coming again for another piercing!
