Monster Ink is the place to go for a tattoo or a piercing. The atmosphere when you walk in the door is excellent. A little fun, a little creepy (in the best way). The shop is very clean, the staff are friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable! I had my nose piercing changed out and Brenna had it done in 10 seconds and I felt nothing. Cheyenne did an arm tattoo for me on my forearm that is awesome!! Check them out the next time you want a piercing or some ink!

I had a phenomenal experience at Monster Ink! This was my first time getting new ink at their new building, and I loved every second. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Cheyenne was my tattoo artist, and she did amazing work. I would recommend Monster Ink to anyone and will definitely be going back if I have any future projects.

Danny did a fantastic job completing an update on my Tatoo honoring my grandchildren. His design skills and communication skills are outstanding. He took time to make sure I understood every step of the process. I am very satisfied
