I came in with a friend as a walk-in, it suggested to make an appointment beforehand since Melinda is very busy with other piercing appointments, however we got lucky. She took her time to clean the area, made sure everything was organized and sanitized. This is definitely not the shop to go to if you’re in a hurry for a quick piercing-they take their time and make sure you feel comfortable. We were offered a bowl of candy, water, and breaks in between the prep. We were given larger jewelry to ensure that the site does not swell, and small jewelry would be too risky during the healing stage. We were given a pamphlet of aftercare treatment and Melinda’s information in case any questions arise. Overall, a comfortable experience.

I went to Dark side Tattoo to get my ears pierced. The place was amazing such beautiful decor and so clean. The people that worked there were so nice and Marissa was excellent. I recommend this place 100%

Currently on my 5th piece with Joe. I've been working with him since he was an apprentice here. Between the cleanliness, overall positive and welcoming atmosphere of the studio, and Joe being such an amazing, talented and patient person, I'm a client for life. I've also been pierced and tatted by other people here too, but Joe is for sure my go-to. Best tat and piercing experiences every time, hands down.

Took my Dad to see Joe for a tattoo- he did an awesome job, even with my father’s mature skin. He had a gentle hand as my father bruises easily. Can’t say enough about Joe and his patience and client first mentality and a great guy to hang out and get tattooed with!

I was in town the other day and decided to get my 1st tattoo. Dan couldn't have been more helpful and patient. He understood what I wanted to do and instead of going with it...he gave his recommendations and concerns. I decided to go with his suggestion. I'm glad I did! His suggestion makes it possible for color to be added. Can not recommend more for the caring and looking of every tattoo
