TATTOO CHARLIE'S REVIEWS
I’ve been going to Paul for my tattoos since 2017, he’s always done amazing work. Funny, intelligent, and REALLY good at the tattoos that he does. The shop has great and friendly atmosphere and music. Really friendly environment and always able to help. I’m definitely going to continue coming back again. Thank You for the great experience!
Such a wonderful experience! Justin was super amazing! He'd added some awesome ideas to my new tattoo that I would've never thought of. He really took note on what I wanted. Super clean and professional. The whole place is so awesome to walk and look at!
Received a tattoo from Paul, he did an awesome job. Great original design that he made. Was able to knock out an astonishing amount of work in one session as well. Killer tattoo artist, can’t wait to head back and finish up this piece.

ARTFULLY INSANE REVIEWS
They were some of the nicest people on earth. I came in a walk in waited about 20 mins then it was my turn. It was so nice to actually talk to people who made you feel right at home. 5 star service and my piercings were minimal in pain. I highly recommend them for piercings I got 2 snake bites on my bottom lip. They also do tattoos so go check them out.
I went with my friend today for her nostril piercing. It looks so cute! I did not get anything but did ask for an anatomy check for a snug piercing. Kevin answered all my questions and was so kind and patient with me! I will be back for a piercing.
This place is awesome!! Got a tattoo here and a couple piercings from Doc and Kevin. Everyone is friendly and professional. They're great with putting people at ease.

TWISTED IMAGES INC REVIEWS
Great experience! I came in to get my septum pierced and everything went smooth from the jump. She showed me sterile supplies so I knew everything was cleaned, made sure everything was comfortable, and even did breathing with me before the actual piercing. Not to mention my septum is naturally not straight so when the piercing was a little crooked she offered immediately to redo it because SHE actually cared about it. Not painful at all, actually one of the least painful piercings I’ve had, surprisingly. Very kind, comfortable, and professional staff! I will be back for sure.
Love this place! I have had my tongue re-pierced (a successful rescue), an industrial bar, and a nipple piercing. Fantastic experience every time, the staff are always informative and patient with questions. The services are very reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend Amy! She is my go-to.
This is THE tattoo shop in the Lou! We've been visiting here for years and know the owners and team personally. Many years of expert experience in this shop. You won't be disappointed with this crew.
