Just had my ear piercing done, and Helen was incredibly friendly and welcoming! The placement of the piercings was spot-on, and she was so sweet throughout the process. Highly recommend this place for both piercings and tattoos!

Came here to get my first body piercing. Have had so many horrible experiences with ear piercings in the past with infections, decided to do it right for once with my nose piercing. I was extremely nervous walking in but Helen made me so comfortable and was asking questions to ease my discomfort. The piercing itself went amazing, almost passed out afterward when standing up and she did everything in her power to make me feel better. Gave me a mint, water, ice packs, and assured me it’s normal for adrenaline to make you feel this way. Will definitely be coming back if i need anything in the future + AMAZING PRICING. Thank you Helen!!!!!!

My gf has gotten a great tattoo from evil rob from this place but unfortunately their eyebrow piercings were not done correctly and there was no offer to look at it in person or fix it. We went to a different piercer and they are the one that told us it was pierced incorrectly not to mention when my gf was getting pierced here the clamp fell out of their face during the Piercing

Couldn’t be happier with the work done! I booked with Alegra who drew up an awesome design exactly how I envisioned it.

Only place I will go to for anything, tattoos and piercings. Always have the best experience here, and everyone is very friendly, kind, and welcoming. I have gone to Blackworks for all of my tattoos and recent piercings and I just keep going back because of the great environment they provide. I love all the staff here. They are amazing and treat you with nothing but respect and are very accommodating when it comes to what you’re looking for. I recently worked with Heena, and she was amazing. I gave her an inspo pic and told her what I wanted to do with it and she made that vision come to life leaving me with a perfect tattoo. If you are looking for a place to go, I 1000% recommend going here.

Helen at Blackwork Tattoo was truly AMAZING! There are no words to express my sincerest gratitude to her. She is knowledgeable about piercing care and she is the reason that I was able to save my tragus piercings! Helen gave me such grace, care, and patience.In September, I got 2 tragus piercings outside of New Jersey (Black Cloud Tattoo and piercing -Pineville, North Carolina). They were both pierced with a curved barbell. Day 7 post piercing my ball fell off and I went to a shop to have it looked at (7souls tattoo-Fairlawn, NJ) where they just screwed on the ball. This piercer said nothing further.Two weeks later I had issues with the earrings (ball falling off again and earrings shifting) Helen had me come to Blackwork Tattoo shop right away so that I could get a flat post instead. She explained that these piercings should have NEVER been pierced with a curved barbell due to the potential for rejection.I am so grateful for Helen's expertise because it is obvious that the people before her were amateurs. Helen made sure I felt like I mattered to the point where she would follow up on my progress with the piercings since the very first day I met her.Fast forward to surviving one left inner ear infection and one right tragus irritation bump plus lots of cleaning and drying I can finally say the both of my tragus piercings are healing very well! I even was able to get my posts shortened by Helen. This could not be possible without wonderful people like Helen. I wish her many blessings as well as to her family. I will always think of her when I see my beautiful tragus piercings. ? thank you again Helen.

Great tattoo shop. Very professional and clean. Heena came up with multiple design options for me to pick from and was flexible with changes. She is very creative and detail oriented. Love my new tattoo and can't wait for my next one!

This past Friday was my first time at Blackwork for a tattoo but it was not my first time getting work done by Rob. The shop itself has such a chill and clean atmosphere. Both front desk women I deal with were sweet and fun to have a chat with. It's very spacious as well. If you come in feeling nervous about the piercing or tattoo you're about to get, I promise most of it will fade before you know it with how friendly and understanding everyone at this shop is. You can tell as soon as you walk in it's a judgement free zone.As for Rob, I don't think there are enough words on this planet to describe how much I appreciate him as an artist and adore him as a person as well. This past Friday was my third tattoo done by him out of the three I have and there's a reason I seek him directly for ink work. He was very patient with me the first time I got a tattoo, walking me through every single step he was doing so I felt comfortable and was aware of every single thing happening, something he still tends to do now which is amazing.Did the tattoos hurt? Of course they did, especially the wrist haha. But the one thing that helped is how much of a conversationalist he can be. From the moment I sit in the chair to the moment I leave, Rob can talk about almost anything and will answer every single one of my ridiculous or random questions. He's hilarious but also very insightful. I'm so invested in our conversation, I hardly notice how much progress he's made on the tattoo.This last tattoo I got was in memory of my Nana who passed a week before my birthday last month. The original concept was supposed to be surrounding Hamilton, my favorite musical. When I messaged Rob and told him I wanted to change the concept because of her sudden passing, he had absolutely no problem doing it and was very sympathetic to my loss. The tattoo he did, like the others, is amazing and I think a beautiful way for me to remember her by. He's a 10000/10 artist and I will keep going back to him for tattoos until I run out of room or he retires, whichever comes first XD
