    We had a great experience here! My daughter is 8 and got her ears pierced, and I also got my cartilage pierced. Rayne was so sweet and amazing! Highly recommended.

    My daughter and I both had piercings done here. I had my nose done and she had a industrial ear piercing done. We did these at separate times and both times the people walked us through the process, everything was super clean, they are VERY knowledgeable and they have everything ready for your after care. If you have any issues during after care they are there to answer any and all questions or to take a look at things. My daughter changed her piercing a bit to early causing a small issue and they were able to look at it and tell us what we needed to do right away. I highly reccomend them for any and all piercings needs.

    Steel and ink is honestly the move! Been coming to steel and ink for the last 5 tattoos and just recently my septum. Always has a welcoming environment and they don't make it weird about how or where you want a tattoo done. Go see Rachel! Highly suggest her work.

  • 3/5 Hello! I am tired all the t. 1 year ago on Google
    Got two piercings here! The first one was with Fino, and he was amazing. I was nervous and he handled it very well and I had a great experience with him! The second one was my helix - she pierced it five times without warning, which hurt a lot. As well as that, she did not tell me the price before hand and it ended up being around $150 with tip. Helix is $40 (as listed on the website) but she charged me $60 for the actual piercing? She pierced it 5 times without warning, I thought I would get a discount for that? As well as that, we were not told the price of the jewelry, which ended up being an extra 40-50 dollars. Basically, Fino is awesome, and ask to see the price of the piercing before it is done. Also the doubles did end up closing up after a few months, even though I was cleaning it twice a day. They got blood blisters and I cried while taking them out. I honestly don’t blame the piercing shop for this though, my ears are just extremely sensitive. Side note: I did ask questions, she said that the needle malfunctioned. That’s okay that the needle wasn’t working, but please just tell me when to breathe instead of just piercing my ear 5 times while saying nothing. I also would’ve liked to be informed as to what was happening each time, as I was very very confused in the moment. I wish I had asked about the price, as I am still very confused.

    Haven’t been to a tattoo shop in forever and these guys know how to do it right! So many places are short staffed or simply just don’t have but 1 or 2 artists on staff. So appointments are the only way most shops operate. That’s fine and dandy if you know what you’re doing 2 months from now. Get there when they open and you have a better chance of getting in right away for their walk in artists. If it’s less than a 3-hr job you have a great chance of getting your new tattoo that day. Front desk staff are professional and know their $hit. Everything seems and feels clean, reliable and high quality. Rachel gave me a badass new tattoo and I think I’m going to going back way sooner than I had planned for more work.

  • 5/5 Gabrielle d. 8 months ago on Google
    i’ve gotten tattooed by a handful of artists at steel n ink and each one of them brings so much talent to the table and whoever you choose, you cannot go wrong. no matter who helps me out with perfecting a vision, im never let down. aleenah has done a majority of my traditional sleeve and i could not be more satisfied. i’m constantly getting complimented and connecting with people regarding my tattoos, and every time i’m approached i have to mention the shop. there is so much talent in one place. i’m happy with whoever ends up being available when i feel like getting inked because each artist is incredibly talented and i am never ever let down. my favorite place to spend my free time by far.

  • 5/5 Benjamin L. 10 months ago on Google
    Hands down my favorite shop in the area. Quality work, fair pricing, qualified and knowledgeable staff. Everyone is super friendly; I would trust every artist to get a tattoo, only have 2 artists left then I can say i have work from everyone there

  • 5/5 Guard r. 10 months ago on Google
    Clean, inviting shop. Lorenzo was great and you can tell all the artists like each other for a great environment. Got a great tattoo.

  • 5/5 Mario E. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing tattoo artists, atmosphere is off the chain, I have for 4 tattoos from steel ink and getting more. I would recommend 10 stars.

  • 5/5 kathy w. 9 months ago on Google
    I was a walk in and Lorenzo was available so they got me right in. I was wanting an owl done on my forearm. He did a sketch and it was great. Everyone was very friendly there I will definitely be back. Thanks Lorenzo! I couldn't figure out how to ad the photo but it looks great. Kathy Reader

    Love this place. Just got my 6th tattoo (4th from them). I have had my nose pierced twice here. They all do such a great job. Also took my son for his 1st tattoo here. They are so patient with everyone.

  • 5/5 Alinoshka Z. 9 months ago on Google
    To start, thank you so much to Fino, who was the sweetest, he was patient and understand, and made me feel very safe during my first piercing. I got my lobes done, and they look extraordinary. The blue opal earrings they use are super pretty, and the entire shop was VERY colorful and unique. It felt extremely welcoming, and I think that helped to get rid of my stress and anxiety about the situation. I'd absolutely reccomend, and would come here again.

  • 5/5 Nic W. 9 months ago on Google
    I had a wonderful experience. This is my second time being tattooed here and I’d recommend this establishment to anyone. It’s a vibe! The customer service is also top notch.. Go see Aleenah.. 🙌🏽

  • 5/5 El 10 months ago on Google
    had an amazing time both times i’ve been here. fino and aleenah did my septum and tattoos exactly how i wanted them and were super kind and helpful throughout the process. will 100% be returning to get more stuff done. pricing was great, service was great, get ur stuff done here !!!

  • 5/5 Jeff H. 8 months ago on Google
    Awesome shop and tattoos. I was a walk-in and got Lorenzo as my artist. He was not only professional with me but also provided honest feedback to the piece with what I wanted to get accomplished.. Truly did an awesome job. Linework and shading were on point. Although he is headed to Houston in a couple weeks, this studio will always have great artists on deck, and Will definitely return again. Thank you Steel & Ink- you guys rock!

  • 5/5 Emily M. 7 months ago on Google
    I LOVE Steel and Ink. I won't go anywhere else. The artists are amazing, the space is open and clean, the atmosphere is awesome, and the prices are completely fair. I've been tattooed by 3 artists here (one just recently moved out state) and I have had a great experience with each. The artists are honest, creative, and genuinely want you to have a positive experience, and walk out happy. I just got done with the first session of a big piece, and it is better than I ever imagined. Tyler absolutely crushed it! I have to go back for a color session, but he took great care of me! You will not regret going to this studio!! *note: it is on the second floor of the building, and the stairs are fairly steep, so accessibility might be a barrier for some people.

  • 5/5 Skylar E. 6 months ago on Google
    My go to forever!! Everyone at steel n ink is so friendly front desk always greats me by my name! I started getting piercings here and I’ve never had any issues with them plus they offer trendy jewelry and good prices. Shawn has done all of my realistic tattoos he goes above and beyond my expectations I always get compliments on my tattoos and piercings from them!

  • 5/5 Bohdana S. 8 months ago on Google
    That was my first time getting a tattoo, and I absolutely adored these folks and the whole place itself! The tattoo artist I asked for, Rachel Meister, was so sweet and lovely, responding to me each time I had a question or doubts, and she indeed did an excellent job! The snake tattoo I dreamed about turned out even better than I expected! Many thanks to you again!!!

  • 5/5 Rachael C. 6 months ago on Google
    Everything about this shop is perfect! The shop is clean and all the artists are friendly and professional. I have been there 4 times now with 2 more sessions being booked this year. I have been tattooed by 3 different artists, and they have all been quick to respond to inquiries and worked tirelessly with me to create perfect pieces. Booking is also easy! I have tried to book with other shops before and I don’t get the same professionalism and treatment that I get from Steel and Ink, so I won’t go anywhere else!

  • 5/5 Rich B. 7 months ago on Google
    The shop is extremely clean and has a great vibe going. I could not be more happy with my piece. Sofi is extremely talented with an eye of someone who’s been tattooing for years and years! Well done and thank you.

  • 5/5 shayla r. 9 months ago on Google
    I got my tattoos done by Sofi. She was amazing and so kind. I’m not much for talking but she did not care and created my ideas so perfectly. I would say as a women wanting a more feminine touch with tattoo shops this place is it. I felt very comfortable being there.

  • 5/5 Martin B. 9 months ago on Google
    Steel and Ink Tattoo is the place to go! I have 9 tattoos so far between the artists Aleenah and Rachel (thanks ladies!) and get constant compliments from people about the detail they have put into them. Ava also does a great job getting you checked in and keeps the front desk running efficiently so clients get taken care of in a timely manner. The business overall is nothing short of amazing! If you're considering getting some ink done or a piercing, go check them out! ...and no, they do not have a gun to my head as I write out this review. 😅 Thank you Steel and Ink!!! See you soon!

  • 5/5 Lillie 11 months ago on Google
    Absolutely LOVE this place. Friend brought me here for a septum, love how they talk you through everything and are super friendly the whole way through, and make sure your safe, this is the best epically for someone like me who doesn’t do well with needles. Best place in my area especially compared to others. Would recommend!

  • 1/5 Tom B. 11 months ago on Google
    I am 49 years old. I went to the studio for a under the lip piercing with no explanation of the problems it could cause. The piercing broke inside my mouth from eating three times and chipped the back of my tooth. I went back to have nose pieced instead because of this reason. The lady at the desk said she would not charge me for the trouble for piercing I just needed to buy the jewelry. I left a 10 dollar tip twice for piercer as well. The piercer said come back in two weeks to have the inside pierce connector changed. I go back two weeks later which should have been included for no charge for piercer which I would have left another ten dollar tip. The female owner said I had to pay for the piercer and connector which was not what was discussed. My tooth fix is about 1500 dollars. While I was talking to the rude female owner her husband who works there came over and started screaming at me telling me to get the f out of the shop now. I was calm the whole time. He keep threatening me to leave agressevily. I told him to call the police since he was the agresseor. I left the store calmly and upset. I would not recommend this store. Very rude and unprofessional owners.

  • 5/5 Shannon E. 1 year ago on Google
    Renz did a phenomenal job. I’d give more stars if I could! The tattoo is from my favorite book series and he made it unique enough that it’s special, but it’s also true to the source material. He made sure I was comfortable and doing alright through the whole process. Definitely recommend both Renz and Steel & Ink!

  • 5/5 Rachel Hampton H. 10 months ago on Google
    Rachel is amazing! I came in April for a half sleeve tattoo and had two sessions with her. I explained what I wanted, showed her a couple of photos, she did everything I wanted and she did such an incredible job with it. She also checked in during the session to make sure I was okay or if I needed a break. She’s the best! I get compliments on my half sleeve almost everyday! ❤️

  • 5/5 Claire M. 1 year ago on Google
    Sofie and Tyler were amazing! They helped my mom, my sister, and me develop the right tattoo from our idea and they did amazing work! Their line art was perfect and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. I am so glad we decided to go with Steel and sink as they were helpful and time efficient.

  • 5/5 Rebecca W. 1 year ago on Google
    Mackenzie did an amazing job. Several months ago she pierced my daughter’s second lobes. The first holes were ever so slightly uneven, she was able to conceal this. She also re-pierced my lobes (they had healed completely) and pierced an outer conch. Absolutely love it. Healing was quick and simple. Shop is clean. They go above and beyond. Would recommend and will be back.

  • 5/5 Dennis Caldwell J. 1 year ago on Google
    I walked in with no appointment and was put with Lorenzo. He did an awesome job on my Tat and we had the greatest conversation during that time. I mean we talking about our upbringing, families, my occupation, and it just took my mind away from what he was doing. The rest of the staff were very inviting and kept the environment fun with a lot of laughter. If you’re looking to get some ink done, look no further!

  • 4/5 Shelley 1 year ago on Google
    Had Sofie who did my tattoo a few weeks ago. absolutely love it and she was great. Very hygienic. Would have given 5 stars but she couldn’t seem to stay away from her phone. Even mid tattoo she would get on her phone. Other than that, everything was great! (She switched gloves)

  • 5/5 Kelsey J. 1 year ago on Google
    I got my daughter’s ears pierced for the first time by Mackenzie. She was great and super patient with her 😀 I also got my septum done by Rayne who was equally wonderful! I love the shop and will continue to use them & recommend them in the future.

  • 5/5 Steve B. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a pleasure to get inked here. Will continue to come back to Aleenah and Lorenzo, both fantastic artists. Always friendly and the quality and care is excellent every time. Shop is always clean and professionally ran. Highly recommended, cheers!!

  • 5/5 Linda D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for my first nose piercing and everyone was super nice. Very clean environment. Went back today to get two ear piercings and everything was like the first time, quick, easy, and they took the time to explain everything in detail. Will be back in 6 months for another nose piercing!

  • 5/5 Jelena 1 year ago on Google
    Sofi was my artist today. It was my first tattoo and she made it it fuss free. I didn't have an appointment so I had a bit of a wait but I didn't mind. Everyone there seemed lovely and you can tell they love what they do. I'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Hannah S. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience was absolutely amazing! I've had other tattoos done by different artists at other tattoo shops, and none compare to Steel and Ink. The staff are friendly and engaging, not to mention my tattoo is absolutely incredible! Sophia was the artist, and she did a phenomenal job.
