Ink Side Out Tattoo Lounge

I got my second lobes pierced here a year ago and after studying proper piercing techniques I realized they were pierced completely incorrectly. They were pierced at an angle (which makes it extremely hard to heal) and put in a butterfly back which added extra irritation. The piercer barely said a word the entire process and didn't give me proper advice/education on how to clean and take care of the piercing. It's extremely painful to change my earrings and still hard for me to find the back of the hole because they were pierced incorrectly. They also often hurt with or without earrings. Please do not come here for piercings it is such a red flag that they can't even do a simple lobe piercing.

Everything about Ink Side Out is top-notch! Emily is easy to work with and effortlessly cool. She took my ideas and brought them to an amazing level. She makes you feel like a part of the shop and encourages you to ask for breaks throughout. The shop is clean, comfortable, and very chill. I have gotten several tattoos done by Emily, and I will be getting several more. 5+++++ Stars!

10/10 experience getting girls’ ears pierced!

5 Stars I had an incredible experience with Mario at Ink Side Out in Norwalk! I came in with just a rough idea for a tattoo, and within minutes, he had sketched out a design that was even better than what I imagined. He made the whole process feel easy and fun — super personable, professional, and clearly talented. From the moment I walked in to the finished piece (which only took 2 hours total), everything went smoothly. The detail and clean lines on my sword tattoo are unreal — I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Highly recommend Mario if you’re looking for top-tier work and a great experience

I just got my favorite tattoo ever at this place! 🤩 Emily helped me initially to clarify the idea for the tattoo, and then Mario took it further to something even more beautiful than I imagined, and executed it flawlessly. I feel so much gratitude tonight for this artwork that means so much to me, done with such care. Thank you so much Mario, you are so talented and sweet!! And thank you Emily for your help and wonderful studio. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely loved my experience! Emily was super sweet and so easy to talk to—made the whole session feel relaxed and comfortable. The shop was super clean, and she did an amazing job freehanding my tattoo. She worked quickly but with so much precision and care. Such a talented artist and a great person all around. Highly recommend!

Let's start with I love Inside Out Tattoo Lounge. I contacted them through Instagram and the manager was very thorough and explained the services they offered to me in full detail. She was very polite and time efficient. When I walked into the lounge, i arrived 25 minutes early and they took me straight in regardless that I was early! MUSA is the BEST piercer hands down! I was nervous when walking in but he was so polite and walked me through each and every step! After the piercing he gave me information of how to care for it. Even after I left, I contacted him and he gave me a full professional run down of what to do to care for my piercing. The vibes are there and the energy was high! I would recommend this lounge to anyone! THANK YOU so much for everything Inside Out Tattoo Lounge! <3

Emily is an incredibly talented tattoo artist who turns every idea into a work of art. Her attention to detail and creativity made the entire experience amazing, and she worked with me to make sure the design was exactly what I envisioned. Emily's steady hand and expert precision gave me a tattoo that I’m truly proud of and excited to show off. I would highly recommend her and the shop to anyone looking for custom artwork and a fantastic overall experience!

Val was my artist and she is very talented! She’s done three of my tattoos now and I couldn’t be happier! Can’t wait to keep working with her!!
