MCNABBS TATTOO & PIERCING REVIEWS

Another amazing experience with Sean DeHart! He is an amazing artist. Always does custom pieces drawn to my body shape. He was amazing and made my appointment happen last minute knowing I was coming to town from out of state! He is professional, fun to talk to and just an amazing artist. If you’re thinking about booking with him do it! I can’t wait for my next one!!.

My husband and I got tattoos from Betty and Paul. They turned out amazing! As I was sitting there watching people leave with many different tattoos from different artists and they all looked amazing! They are so busy but get people in and out for piercings. The staff is all super friendly! They have someone to greet every customer that walks in. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.

Absolutely legendary spot to get a tattoo. My dad and I both got full sleeves and had the pleasure of working with Betty and Eric. Both are talented and amazing artists. You can also see the work of the other artist in the shop and every single one is an absolute legend. We were on a tight schedule and they worked with us both coming in early or staying late as needed. Betty did the tattoo in the pictures below and I can honestly say I will never go anywhere else but here. All the artists are polite funny and professional all of them passing by checking in on the tattoo as it was in progress and complimenting it and the artist. I will be back here again for my next sleeve and all other tattoos in the future.

IKON TATTOO & PIERCING REVIEWS

This place is the BEST!! I’ve been coming here for my piercings for probably 6 years or so, and they have always done a fantastic job. Today I went in thinking I would be having my septum re-pierced, since I had removed my piercing 2 years ago and thought I had let it heal up. I had not been able to get my piercing back in myself, but they were able to do it within 5 minutes without having to re-pierce it! They were very kind the whole time. I 100% would recommend them because they are professional, clean, and great at what they do.

Thanks so much to Jessica, my newly discovered birthday twin, for providing myself and my father in law with amazingly beautiful tattoos!! We spent all day hanging out at the shop with you in early Sept and your attention to detail, humorous candor and professionalism made the day fly by! You are so talented and we both haven’t stopped raving about our finished products! Your ability for realism and covering up an old piece with a spectacular masterpiece is amazing. I can speak for the both of us and say we will plan on seeing you again the future!.

Absolutely amazing experience. Thank you so much Janelle for putting up with all of our caffeinated shenanigans. You did an amazing job piercing my friends eyebrow. Also I appreciate your patience with me, super indecisive. You were very professional and have a very awesome demeanor. We called prior to coming in and the man that answered was very informative. When we walked in it was very inviting and warm.
