Korin Stocker — 5/5 (via Google)
Mine and my daughter's 1st visit & experience at Monster Ink and it exceeded any expectations I could of have. My 14 year old daughter got her 1st helix piercing with Marcus, and he was beyond Outstanding!! Aside from being so fun & personable, he was comforting & explained everything part of the piercing procedure to both of us. Even the other 2 people at the shop that were at the front counter upon checking in we're so much fun and personable as well. I can definitely see myself being a repeat customer!! Thank-you Marcus for your professionalism & humor.

We came here because of the awesome reviews and it did NOT disappoint! The lovely lady who made our appointment squeezed us in, it was literally a spur of the moment piercing. She was the sweetest on the phone and in person, I wish I could remember her name but she rocked! Super clean and such a really creative place that really felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. We came in for a nose piercing and Marcus was literally THEEEEE BEST! Talked us through piercing options, care/cleaning and best of all was SO nice to my daughter talking her through each step he was going to do. Y’all are fabulous!

Danny was polite and listened to all my ideas. His drawing was awesome and my tattoo looks amazing!!! This is my 3rd tattoo with Monster Ink. I’ve always had a positive experience here. Everyone is professional and nice. I trust all the artists here with things I need.

Session 1 of 2 today!! What an amazing job Colin did! My leg twitched so much and I felt terrible. Colin reassured me that everything was ok and that this is a multi-phase project. With the level of detail and the size of this project, I knew breaking this into 2 sessions like Colin suggested was going to be the best decision for the maximum quality possible. This shop embodies quality over quantity and works with every budget needs. I can’t wait for session 2 of 2 and many more tattoos to come! A lot of people ask me what am I going to do when I’m old and in a nursing home and my answer is simple, be a beautiful coloring book with a lot of sass and many adventures to show for it!!

First ear piercing for my daughter went insanely well thanks to Brenna and the staff for making everything go so smoothly! The studio was clean, vinyl was rockin at a calming volume and start to finish went perfectly, Brenna took her time marking and explaining everything to my daughter before she did anything and that made her so comfortable, and she didn’t even cry!! I loved that the flat back stud was the only choice too because my daughter hasn’t had that annoying irritation we all had to endure as kids with the long stud to the neck lol. Best experience, thank you MonsterInk!
