My appointment was with the owner Ryann. She was amazing. She made me feel comfortable. Her design was exactly what I wanted. She was very nice and treated me very well. This was my first tattoo, she was calming and didn't make me feel nervous at all. I definitely want another tattoo from her. Was a great experience. Thank you for my beautiful tattoo.

Did not have a great experience at this shop. I got a tattoo over the summer, in July, and it needed touch ups by October. I have a lot of tattoos all over my body and usually they never need touched up so soon. At any rate, I made an appointment for early November in the beginning of August. They gave me the appointment date and time. They called me a week before the appointment to confirm the date and time, which I confirmed. The artist texted me the morning of to confirm the touch up appointment. So, I show up at the appointment time, and sign the paperwork they asked me to sign. Then the girl at the front desk tells me my appointment is in a half hour, and I said no I made this appointment months ago and they called to confirm it last week, its at this time. At any rate, she says I am just going to have to wait, so I leave the shop for 30 minutes to make some calls for work in my car, rather than sitting in the shop to wait and stare at the wall for 30 minutes, which by the way, you are not required to do. You are required to show up on time. So, I go back in at the 30-minute mark. I am in there for 2 minutes and I ask to use the bathroom, and I know the artist seen me walk through to the bathroom. At 50 minutes after the hour, I go up and ask her if she is still going to do the touch ups. At this point, they gave me the wrong appointment time, I came back at the “correct appointment time,” on time, and sat waiting for 20 minutes. When I ask, the owner/artist, says “oh well they said you stormed out and now you’re late.” I laughed and said I was here at the 3:30, I used the bathroom when I walked in. Okay, so it takes her 15 minutes to set up, which should have been done at the original appointment time. I had to laugh when she said I was late, because I was on time and early, and she was literally an hour late to the appointment. Also, I am not going to sit there and do nothing when I could spend 30 minutes doing something for work in the time that I would have spent waiting. At the original appointment, she was an hour late as well. So that really made me laugh, that she made that comment. It was rude and unprofessional. Then, she proceeded to dig so hard into my skin with the needle (tattoo on my belly, too) and kept wiping it with a dry cloth, which I perceived as passive aggressive considering her attitude. I had one too, rightfully so considering both times I came in at my scheduled appointment time, made 2 months in advance, and confirmed a week before, and still got me in an hour late. I kept my mouth shut though, but they can’t expect good reviews doing stuff like that. Any good artist does not tattoo like that because they are annoyed. Then, when she was done, she wiped it once, but since she went so hard with the needle, it was bleeding excessively, which again, fine, just wipe it and tape it with a bandage. When I got up, she asked if I was allergic to anything and before I even responded, after asking her to tape the bandage on it like she did originally, she just went ahead and sprayed liquid bandage on me and it didn’t even get sprayed on evenly and told me to wash it off in four hours. I had to go back in before leaving to get a paper towel to line my pants wit before I left so blood didn’t get all over everything while I was driving home. I had to wipe it off too and clean it with dial soap when I got home because it was burning and irritating my skin so much and it kept bleeding and bleeding and I did not want it to crust over and turn into dried blood on the ink. *if there’s a lot of ink in the tattoo, its normal for it to bleed a little, but the black bandage that usually gets taped over a new tattoo (or plastic wrap that gets wrapped around it) will soak up the blood, that way it’s not still excessively bleeding after you remove the bandage. At any rate, would not recommend. Owner is rude and unprofessional and is frankly just inconsiderate. They also cannot seem to keep their schedules matched up with the front desk.

My daughter called on Friday evening and asked if we could get matching father daughter tattoos. I drive truck so time is a problem. She asked if they did 16 year olds told yes. We called sat at noon again said yes on 16 year olds. We drove a hour plus were told all good til the woman applied ink then said no to 16 year olds. I had to at least have the outline done now. Not only did this embarass my daughter but it totally ruined here first tattoo with her dad. Too bad cause we as a family have alot of ink we want done. But we will take it to aputable established. The line work was well done but I was not given back my deposit or have it taken off my charge. They screwed up not us. I will be telling everyone that asks about my new ink not to go here. Very dissatisfied.

One of the best places I've been to by far! Very professional and welcoming. Everything was very clean and they made my friend and I feel very comfortable. They also got me in right away! Tom did my sisters belly button a few weeks back and recently did a great job on my piercing! I am more than happy with how it came out, this is now the place I tell my friends to go here if they need anything done! Overall great place !

Everyone here is so nice and does amazing work! I have been tattooed by Ryann and Adam- both came out unbelievable. Tom pierced my septum and was the most professional and talented piercer I've ever used. The shop is beautifully and and uniquely decorated. I encourage anyone and everyone to get a tattoo or piercing here or even stop by and just shop for their beautiful jewelry! You won't regret it!!

Awesome people! I made a gamble and decided to drive in from Essex, instead of going to Burlington to a different place. And I am beyond happy I did. Very welcoming, laid back no stress atmosphere. Very clean and responsible. I will forever be coming here!

Tom was very thorough with explaining barbell vs. hoop, and asked me if i had an questions a few times. the process was quick. he is SO AMAZING at piercings. it barely hurt and the whole process was over in 3-5 min. 100% will go there again in the coming months!!! thank you Tom!!!

Very clean and very cute shop! They have a boutique in front for you to shop around. I was tattooed by an apprentice, Alex, who did a wonderful job. Ryann, the shop owner, was very helpful before and during the tattooing process as well. I would like to note that although the process was smooth there were some inappropriate comments from the shop owners boyfriend about her fourteen year old daughter that I found supremely unprofessional and inappropriate. I love supporting independent female businesses, but the fact that a young male spoke of a minor being a "manipulative b*tch" seemed way out of line. Four stars for service, one star deducted for atmosphere.

I would actually put O if I could! Our experience started out fine. I made a phone call a few days before we were planning on going to Stowe and spoke with Ann. I made appts for my son and nephew both minors (almost 17 and almost 18) which I let her know on the phone. She made the appts, took a deposit and asked that I send details of what they would like by email. So far so good! The boys were both having a memorial tattoo done to honor a significant loss in their lives and had put so much time and effort in to the planning and design (as well as their parents). I sent the email the following day complete with design details, sizing and where on their bodies they would like the tattoo. Upon arrival we were greeted, checked in, and then we waited for 45 minutes. Finally, Ann came to tell us that she wouldn’t put a tattoo where the boys wanted them (upper arm/shoulder and forearm) bc they were minors. She said they had to go where they wouldn’t be seen, ankle or shoulder blade. We were so confused. How is your ankle less visible then your upper arm? She said, “I hope you didn’t drive to far”. Only 3+ hours but that wasn’t the problem. We had followed all the rules and sent the details which she either never bothered to read or she could have let us know beforehand of this “rule” or she and her co-worker decided they didn’t want to stay any later so they came up with this “rule”. We didn’t think this was an actual law and when we mentioned some of the places that we knew did work for others, the owner (I think) comes out to say’ “well if you want a tattoo from XXXXXXX, you can get it with a side of meth”. She was so unprofessional and rude. I have 2 teenage boys with me that were much more mature and respectful. Needless to say, we went elsewhere that was professional and organized.
