Very helpful and professional. I brought my 5 year old daughter to get her ears pierced and it went perfect. Also, a week after one of the earrings fell out and he gave me the replacement stud complimentary.

Walked in Tattoo Artist was already ready to go when we walked in. Got a matching tattoo with my Mother. Turned out absolutely amazing. Was done so gently, didn t even hurt. Was very considerate if tattoo were to scab was willing to fix it instantly instead of having to make us wait, like other shops.

Ended up not going back to get it done the gentleman who did it was very rood. And told me it was my fault the ring was off. The ladies who work there made up two different stories so i couldn't go back there and get it fixed. Never again.

I reccomend Smokin' Ink to anyone looking for killer tattoos and great piercings. Clean and amazing atmosphere. Great customer service (works with your schedule and price range). I will be a returning customer and finally found a shop that cares and is willing to go the extra mile. Always willing to help! And the jewelry selection is incredible and was told they will be expanding even more! Thanks everyone who works there- you guys rock!

I got a helix piercing 2 days ago, the bar on the earring is too small to deal with the swelling and I can t get the earring out. Had to enlist the help of my whole family and still can t get it out as my ear continues to swell even more. Piercers should have the common knowledge that the bar is supposed to be longer to deal with the swelling. Super unprofessional and I will not be getting another piercing from here.

It was meh. I waited a really long time for an appointment that I had had scheduled for awhile and nobody seemed to know what was going on with it. The vibes were just not professional, they didn't have change despite a sign that said cash only. The piercing itself was fine though. A side note- nobody was wearing masks during the Covid pandemic which is like, whatever, but just something I noticed.

I made an appointment for a nose piercing at 7 pm. We showed up on time but were asked to wait while a family that walked in could be taken care of. I was told on the phone that there was no walk ins and that it was appointment only. We waited for over an hour and a half while the one employee working took his time talking instead of actually doing the piercings. He didn t wear a mask and we even noticed he wasn t wearing gloves for one of the piercings. After finally getting pierced, he told us after that it was cash only. We should ve been informed before our appointment that it was cash only. Overall it was a super unprofessional place. We will not be returning and do not recommend this place.

They didn t have their store open when I had an appointment and when I called about they gave ME an attitude and told me I should ve knocked on the door because someone was there when should ve answered the phone when I was calling or had their store open. they should ve treated me a lot better for their mistake I wasted 3 hours of my time for (long drive). They told me to leave a bad review sarcastically so here I am. Would NOT recommend to a friend.

We originally went to Barton ink, because a friend suggested it, to get something pierced. But she was never in. She has "SPECIAL HOURS". The first two times we were never told that. Just told what day she would be back. Came in that day and they said she leaves @7pm & had already left. It wasn't EVEN 7 we had 30 mins still. I am not going to keep chasing you around to give you my money.
We were leaving i saw this shop, Smokin Ink. Wish I would have seen it sooner!!! (I finally wore my glasses so I could actually see). By far THE BEST customer service. We said what we wanted done and got it done. He was friendly and made us comfortable. I loved that there is also an age requirement on how you old have to be to get something pierced. Definitely suggesting SMOKIN INK to anyone and everyone, especially over Barton Ink. Smokin Ink Tattoo work is AMAZING too. We are going in to set up getting tattoos there soon too.

Shilow is always great to talk to and always very helpful for what ever needs you have. I have gotten 4 peircings and 3 tattoos done so far all by him. 1 tattoo to come that he is fixing. I tend to get faint when I get a peircing. He has the fan and water ready and doesn't let me leave until he knows I'll be ok even though he knows I bring someone with so I'm not driving after. He cares about his clients. He always has deals going on, all you have to do is mention the deal. The shop is great, there's enough space to bring along a couple people and the jewelry he has is of wide variety and not the cheap crap you can get at walmart or Claire's best part the price isn't to bad. I will always and forever go to Shilow for all my artwork I want done!

I called earlier this week to see if I could make an appointment for a piercing on Sunday (today 02/02/2020) and I was told to just give them a call before I come just to make sure the piercer would be in. I tried calling this morning twice and did not get an answer. I tried calling again in the afternoon and still no answer. The hours online say open Sunday s. If you re actually open answering the phone might help get some more business. I ended up going to Wisconskin Ink in Grafton and was given amazing service. I would definitely recommend them.

I went in for a septum piercing, I showed up 20 minutes early for my appointment and Dan was more than happy to clean everything beyond my expectations and get everything ready, he was respectful, fast, and made the experience as comfortable as he could. 10/10 would recommend.

I got my septum done here and I ended up having to take it out because I went to another place to have it looked at and they told me the placement Was way off and way to low. One side was way lower than the other. The piercing was just crooked. And the piercing
just didn t feel comfortable in my nose. Also not to mention I came in with a paper id and they never gave it back to me and then I called to see if they had it and supposedly they couldn t find it there lol.

Shillow and Smokin Ink are fantastic! He did an excellent job piercing my septum. He treats his customers like friends and family! He did a tattoo literally 10 years ago and I never had it touched up. I recently came in and talked to him about it, he told me he d not only touch it up but revamp the whole tattoo!

Called on a day they were closed, wanting a tattoo I designed myself as soon as possible. Cage called me right away the next day and got me in a couple days after that. Clean, professional, quality tattoo by Cage! This was only my second tattoo, but if/when I get my next one I m definitely requesting Cage.

10/10 would recommend

Went to Smokin Ink today to get a small tattoo. Had an appointment at 3:30pm and waited over an hour and half after being told to take a seat to even be spoken to. The customer service of this establishment was absolutely abysmal. Ive never waited for any product or service this long without at least updates on why Im waiting or for how much longer. Their complete lack of care for me as a customer was not only unsatisfactory but insulting to say the least. On top of that once I finally was acknowledged by the staff they acted like nothing was wrong and like I hadn't just wasted an hour and a half of my life. It was absolute unbelievable. I understand some places have waits, but no heads up at all to an hour and a half wait was so rude. If you are looking to get a tattoo don't waste your time here. The quality of the tattoos isn't worth the blatant disrespect you'll be treated to.

This is a spectacular tattoo shop! I just recently got a tattoo done here by Jimmy, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
I was pleasantly surprised I was able to get my tattoo done as walk in, and Jimmy was very accommodating. He did such an outstanding job drawing my requested piece, he really understood right away what I was looking for. He was so easy to talk to, and really put me at ease, not to mention he did a phenomenal job in a very short amount of time!
Jimmy is a brilliant artist, and I will definitely be back again!

I've been going to Shilow since he was at his old shop. He is absolutely fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable about piercings and really wants to make sure you have the best experience possible. He's always available any time I have questions and really goes he extra mile to make sure everything heals properly and looks the way I want it too. His shop is incredibly clean and I've never had issues. It's always my first choice for myself and always my first recommendation for anyone interested in a piercing!

My sister and I got a tattoo and nose piercing. We were super happy with the results and we expected to pay so much more than what was charged so the value is excellent. Our artist and piercer were both very professional, very easy to converse with. The artist took our idea and made it so much better. The piercer made sure to show us that all of his instruments were sterile and opened the packaging in front of us. The chairs and counters were sprayed down and sanitized while we were there. Over all, we had a great experience and will return when/if we want another tattoo or piercing!

Shilow did my first tattoo and I couldn t have asked for a better place to get my tattoo than here. I was very nervous going into it but within a couple of minutes of being in the shop I felt very comfortable. The tattoo itself turned out amazing and I will definitely be going back for more.

We were stood up at our last tattoo appointment and the owner took a look at what we wanted and allowed my friend and I to get our tattoos (four between the two of us) as a walk-in. The prices were fair and the work is super quality. 5/5. Definitely going back.
