The Darkside Tattoo

Just got my first tattoo here. Went with my son who added another to his every growing collection, lol. Our tattoo artist was Brandon. It was highly recommended by several people and they take walk-ins (but be prepared for a long wait).

Wasted 6 hours for them to tell me they "forgot" 2 others had appointments and I wasn't getting in that day, drove an hour away and wasted 6 hours for nothing! Communication needs to be way better!

I initially just walked in to ask about prices and ended up actually signing papers to get one cuz $100 isn’t so bad. It was my first time and my artist was Brandon. He was really nice and was very familiar with the anime show for the design I wanted and it turned out nicely. I would post a picture if I could. I expected it to be really painful because it was going to be on my neck 😬! But I must have high pain tolerance or something because the needle wasn’t painful enough to make me scream or fidget around so he was impressed that I was still and quiet the whole time. I would describe the pain as a 6 and having like 20 of those syringe needles poking you at the same time constantly. So I didn’t think it was that bad but everyone is different and it might feel more painful to others. At the end he even lowered it to $80!!! Really good prices here!!

I went in to get a piercing. the staff was nice. That is the only positive thing I have to say about this place. As I walk in, first thing I smelled was cigarette smoke. When brought back, the room was a storage room with a chair that was shoved in a corner. The floors were needing a sweep and deep clean. when I was in the process of getting the piercing, the technician rushed through. This was my 3rd time getting this piercing done and the other two times it was symmetrical. This time however, she just eyeballed it and just shoved the needle through without using extra tools to keep the skin from moving. I was wanting to get a tattoo done here but after seeing that room, I won't ever go back.

Great first impression of my first ink and piercing outside of Canada. If your scared don't be of this place go do it you won't be dissappointed

Gave me a piercing I don’t have the right anatomy for. Industrials are meant to be horizontal not vertical. Literally would’ve been fine with being told I don’t have the right anatomy and would’ve just asked about getting a different one. Instead I spent over 200$ and wasted a month healing to then find out it’s never going to look right or how I wanted because someone didn’t have the guts to say it wouldn’t work.

I got back dermals back in November on my birthday. The lady who did them messed them up. She marked that she pierced me standing up but she pierced me laying down. Took her longer to do my right side, cause she couldn’t get the piece to sit. Overall it hurt really bad and only my right side got infected. I don’t recommend going for dermals but maybe a tattoo.

Hailey was phenomenal!!! She made my naval piercing quick, and as painless as she could, and was so sweet!!! 1000% recommend!!

Awful. Went in for a consultation and was practically ignored. Ashley is terrible. Stay away!

Best experience ever with piercing. Explained everything in detail and Ashley was very professional
