Artist Performance
Pros:
"Ray Rivera-Bovo has done a ship steering wheel, a harpoon, and a shell for me over the past couple of months. Ray is an awesome tattoo artist and a great guy."
"Candence is an amazing artist! I felt like she really cared about making sure everything was the way I wanted and executed my birth flower wrap tattoo beyond my expectations."
"Gary was awesome and gave me just what I wanted while going it a way to make it the best tattoo possible highest recommendation for Gary for tattoos."
"Mike Heston is my absolute favorite tattoo artist. He is patient, very easy going, and friendly."
"Lexi is the best!! She’s done multiple tattoos for my fiancé and I, they are all super clean and exactly what we wanted."
"Matt Doherty did my Majin Vegeta tattoo the other day. It's my second tattoo by Matt. If you're looking for an artist that is going to exceed your expectations every time, you want Matt."
"Doug Sparks was the tattoo artist I booked with. The man is an absolute genius when it comes to concepts and design."
Cons:
"I have about a half inch mark next to the tattoo that i noticed a week after because i thought it was the original ink they used to trace it."
"Never actually saw or talked to an artist."
"We waited 2.5 hours to get told no to the second friend's ratio of a simple band around his calf."
"The front desk staff was very unorganized and had no useful knowledge to offer."
"Then the piercer was another shTshow being unprepared and not happy to be there."
"Terrible ignorant rude individuals. Got a piercing and the stone fell out the same night. Went back the next morning they told it was my fault and there is nothing they could do."
"The artist I thought was very room, during the process I was very still & I tried to ask a few questions & he would refuse to answer me."
Customer Service
Pros:
"The ladies at the front got us in and found us an amazing artist quickly."
"The staff are fun, friendly people who answer any and all of your questions with a smile and make you feel welcome and comfortable."
"Always welcomed in with a smile and a laugh."
"Shop is such a friendly staff and care about their customers too just overall a great environment."
"Rocco was welcoming, friendly, and able to answer the questions I had! A huge perk for me at a shop."
"I’ve been here three times so far... Getting tatted by Michael is such a joy, he keeps great conversation as if you’re talking to a friend which helps since you’re sitting in a room together for hours lol, his artistic abilities are amazing."
"The shop was clean, organized, and welcoming."
Cons:
"I walk in, none of the piercings are available or sanitized."
"The two girls were pretty rude and I thoroughly enjoyed the unprofessional behavior from them."
"The professionalism alone drove me away. I went in a few days ago to get pierced and the girl with black hair at the counter was rude and unwelcoming."
"This shop had taken to slandering him and destroying his private property including his Instagram. Very unprofessional."
"Rude place, terrible customer service. They act like they are performing surgery in there come on it’s a scummy tattoo and piercing shop."
"I was refused service because I asked who the manger was."
"I won’t recommend this place on the fact they lied."
Shop Environment
Pros:
"The shop is also great - incredibly clean and bright. Everyone is very nice and stoked to be there."
"They are professional and run a clean environment."
"Everything was so clean and everybody was very professional, I still go in to get my hoops changed/purchase new jewelry and every time the staff is always so welcoming and friendly."
"Empire as a business was incredibly clean organized and helpful!"
"Super clean well run shop!"
"The place is incredibly clean as well. Would recommend everyone try out this shop at least once."
"Shop in general is very clean and professional, friendly staff and an overall comfortable environment."
Cons:
"I called to schedule a piercing appointment the lady laughed at me and said that they don’t do that to just come in."
"Then, today, I had a consultation with Candence for the same piece. I scheduled a week in advance. An hour before the consultation I received a voicemail saying that Candence couldn’t see me until three hours after the scheduled time."
"My new tattoo is bigger than my others but it was ridiculously expensive for taking only 45 minutes."
"Their pricing is like many other shops (around $100 an hour or so with a minimum of $60) and they require a $100 deposit at the time of your appointment."
"Bad business practice!"
"DO NOT GO HERE!"
"Disappointed is not a strong enough word: disgusted is more fitting."
