This was my first time here and everyone had a really cool vibe. Guilherme was a great artist he was funny to talk to and had good technique. The tattoo also came out amazing, would definitely recommend!
I had my conch pierced recently by Salomé, she was very professional and walked me through every step of how to care for my new piercing. She was very thorough and knew how to ease any anxiety I had; I felt comfortable to ask her all of my questions. She also helped me to choose the right jewelry for my conch and even anodized the jewelry to my color preference! The front desk person was also very friendly and approachable, and I felt super safe and welcomed. HOWEVER, I didn't have the greatest experience when I came back to Mission Ink a second time. I am still rather new to getting pierced and I felt that the person who downsized my jewelry (I didn't get their name as they didn't introduce themselves) during my second visit was slightly rude towards me and suggested that I was not taking care of my piercings as I should've been, despite carefully following the instructions from Salomé/the aftercare card I was given from her during my prior appointment. I totally understand giving customers feedback and tips on best practices, but you shouldn't be condescending to paying customers. I didn't feel 100% comfortable asking questions about how I should be treating my piercing because of this interaction. This person also suggested that Salomé didn't have as much experience or expertise as them, which made me feel even more uncomfortable. I am not sure I would go back to this specific piercer. **I would still choose to go to Mission Ink should I be interested in getting a new piercing or tattoo despite my recent experience 😊 Calling ahead is important because it can get quite busy! I would recommend Mission Ink to other people, weekends are best though. Highly recommended booking an appointment with Salomé!
Came in for a walk in labret piercing, Jake was super clean, professional, meticulous. He made sure to answer all of my questions beforehand to ease any unnecessary anxiety and the whole process was over super quickly! 10/10 would go again
Got my eyebrow pierced roughly 1 year and a half ago, (may 2024). Was one of the piercings I was most scared of since I've never had anything on my face beside my nose but my piercer was very quick and gentle! Took time in finding a ring that fit my eyebrow and matched all the gold piercings I had (septum, earrings, plugs) and in making sure I was satisfied with placement Overall very happy with my piercing and jewelry and would come back.
Ariel created a friendly and engaging environment. She did an amazing job my tattoo as well. The Mission Ink Tattoo supporting staff was super friendly and helpful. Their second location is bright and beautiful. Loved it.
