I got my nose pierced by Bill (Manager) he was very kind the first time and I ended up having to go a second time because my nose was giving me complications with the piercing, so I called to come in and he stayed just to help me out even though he was off clock. At one point I started to feel dizzy because of the blood and he went to go get me water and a snack very quickly. He was very kind and wasn’t rushing me or anything and made sure I was okay after both appointments. I really appreciate him for helping me thank you Bill!
I had a really good experience with Tanya, getting my first tattoo. I was a bit nervous, but it was completely unwarranted. Most importantly, she's an extremely talented artist, but she was also quick to put me at ease. I was confident very quickly that I was in good hands.
Also, the shop is very clean, and the owner and other staff all seemed friendly and happy to be there.
I love Aardvark Tattoo and all of their staff! I have been going to Risa since 2008 and she has been professional and most importantly CLEAN! She opens everything in front of you and makes sure everything is in order before she starts! She always recommends a consult with new clients since she wants to make sure she completely understands what you want. I have sent other people there and they too love her work. She is amazing!
