All of my tattoos were done here and my first piercing as an adult. Chase is a phenomenal tattoo artist that will ensure that you’re comfortable and happy with your design. I was more nervous for my piercing than any of my tattoos and Rich was very sweet and patient! He answered all of my questions and the piercing itself was super quick (just a second lobe piercing). I look forward to going back soon!

Earlobes, daughter. Forget the gunshops. This is the greatest and best piercing parlor in the world. Tribute. The owner responses to 1 star reviews is what brought us in. Highly responsible. They speak for themselves. Front desk is strict with bookkeeping. Three or more times the standard operating procedures were explained. On the initial consult (telephone), at the front desk and on the paperwork, and again, with the child, at the time of the procedure. Clean, clean, clean. Most Excellent!!! Nicest people all around. Rich and the front of house staff are diamonds in the rough. Who could ask for anything more? The best there is in the business hands down.

An all around amazing experience! My 8 year old daughter had her earlobes pierced and was very nervous, but Rich was so great with her. He was very patient, calm, didn’t rush her. He let her know that she didn’t have to feel forced to go through with it, and walked her gently through each step. Everything was spotlessly clean and exactly as expected for a reputable tattoo/piercing studio. Plus both staff there were super sweet! You should definitely come here for all your piercing needs. (Photo taken seconds after first piercing was done- super calm and very happy!)

Rich is the upmost professional. All of my current cartilage and surface piercings have been done by him, and he always has the most modern technique and equipment to ensure the success and desired results of every piercing. Also the selection of jewelry is incredible - a little something for everyone. He's the epitome of a master of his craft! Highly recommend Rich for people both new to piercings and those (like me) who've collected quite a few over the decades.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR A PIERCING! They don’t know how to deal with unorthodox piercings and just want to pierce your ears and nose and charge you for overpriced jewelry! I have 30+ piercings and live in Detroit, it sucks that the only place that does piercings around me is afraid to take out and switch jewelry. The piercer told me he didn’t want to be “liable” for removing a piercing that was swollen, even thought that’s his job 😐 this is my second experience like this here so safe to assume they can’t help me if I’m gonna be met with smart comments and resistance when it comes to piercings. I’ll go to a more professional shop ✌🏾

Had a great experience at the studio and with Rich, who did my nose piercing. Rich answered all of my questions and at no point made me feel like the newbie that I was. Everything was very clean, professional, and affordable.

Going for another tattoo here. Matt is one of the best at Japanese style, and his art is fantastic! Translates well into the tattoo. He takes great care in getting the art done the way you want it. Will continue to come here until I probably run out of places to get a tattoo!!
