“Id gone to the Babcock location years ago and liked it, but my former artist is no longer there. I heard good things about StoneOak so figured to check it out. Justin is cold with the needle, hooked my girl up with piercings, and Nico mastered a thing of beauty on my arm. The entire staff is on point, professional, cool, upfront and real, talented and prices are fair. Check'em out people;)“

“Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you! This is an incredible piercing shop. It’s incredibly clean and there are so many jewelry options! I got my daith piercing done by Derek a couple weeks ago, and not only was it the most affordable and least painful piercing I’ve ever had, it has also been the easiest healing process! He took the time to really make sure that the placement was perfect, and I truly believe that Derek’s patience and passion for his art is the key to the best healing process. He’s super talented, and I would 100% come back to him!“

“When I first reached out to Jasmine, I was carrying the weight of a tattoo that never felt right—a mark meant to honor my beloved bird, Julius, but instead reminded me of loss more than love. Jasmine changed everything.

With compassion, patience, and extraordinary skill, she transformed that heartbreak into a masterpiece. The new tattoo isn’t just art—it’s Julius in flight, forever present in the beauty of every detail. The birds, the florals, the way the design breathes... every glance at it brings me peace and reminds me of how special he was. It's not just on my skin, it's etched into my soul.

The process felt like working with your best friend—the kind who just gets it. Jasmine listened like a kindred spirit and translated my emotions into something tangible and lasting. Her thoroughness and attention to detail made me feel so cared for, like this tattoo was just as personal to her as it was to me.

I recommend her to absolutely everyone. If you want a tattoo that speaks, heals, or honors someone you love—Jasmine is the one. I’ll return to her without question for future pieces, because it’s rare to find someone who tattoos with both heart and precision.“

“My mom and I recently got matching tattoos at Firme Copias Tattoo Studio, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the studio was clean, welcoming, and had such a great vibe.

Our artist, Palomo, was incredibly nice and accommodating. He took the time to listen to our ideas and worked with us to create a beautiful piece that we will both cherish. His attention to detail and skill really made the tattoos turn out even better than we imagined.

We both felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process, and it’s clear Palomo truly cares about his craft and his clients. We’re so happy with our tattoos and will definitely be returning to work with him again in the future!

Thank you, Palomo, for making this experience so memorable for both of us!“
