👍👍 As someone who treats herself to a tattoo every year I can say blue horseshoe is very clean and nice. The artist I prefer is Jimmy James who specializes in color creepy and cartoonish. They also just renovated the bathroom which was the only thing I felt was lacking. People often mention piercing, tattoo, great, super, nose, experience, friendly, time, artist, pierced,

    Got two tattoos here both of them are infected. Just went to see James older white guy that did my tattoo. He had nothing to say about the fact my tattoos are infected. Avoid this “artist “ .

    I was terrified when I walked in. The attendant (I hate I forgot his name bc he was funny as heck) made me feel so relaxed. Very friendly and helpful. The tech Crystal was amazing! Quickly made me feel at ease. Answered all of my questions in her introduction. Walked me thru everything. It was over before i knew it. I didn't feel a thing. Highly recommend!

    I went there a week ago, to get a new tattoo. I spoke with Jimmy. Told him what I wanted. I went back yesterday and the picture he came up with was awesome. He is an awesome Tattoo artist. The time and details he put into my piece. I recommend to see him. The whole staff was professional. The studio was clean.

    Came in for nose piercing. Crystal was great! Surprisingly didn't hurt at all. It felt like a tiny pinch and it's healing nicely. The cost is really affordable (I paid $35 which included my nose stud) and it's a cash only place so be sure to come prepared. Had such a great experience my mom came in a few days later and got her nose pierced by Crystal as well!

    I really want to love this place and have nothing but a five star review but since being to this place twice I've had a change of heart. I like the convenience and pricing of this place but I just can't get over the lack of hospitality. Everyone just looks as if they have some place better to be. The first time I came in I got a septum piercing and I had an okay experience. The jewelry was too small once I got home but I could tolerate it. I had to come back again months later to get my septum repierced (which was totally on me) and this time the experience wasn't so great. The piercer was a little standoffish even though I tried to be friendly. It seemed like she just wanted me in and out quickly. This time the septum piercing was crooked which I noticed the next day. I also believe that the piercing was too far down in my nose instead of high up closer to my nose bridge. The jewelry was also too big and uncomfortable but I guess it was my fault for picking it out. If I do decided to get it pierced a third time I think I'll find another location. My first experience was great so I would recommend this location but just do some research beforehand.

    Best piercing place on the peninsula, all around. I've been coming here for about 4 years and the front desk staff was not always the most hospitable, but recently they've made adjustments and restaffed quite a bit. I send everyone I can here, and specifically for piercings I try to get them to Justin. In ten years of body modification, Justin is the best piercer I've ever met. He makes you incredibly comfortable and informed with all your piercing decisions and placements. One of the artists Paul is super awesome as well, and very creative- I enjoy seeing the art he puts out. He also makes sure you're satisfied with the art before leaving. Make trips right after shipment though, they sell super fast.

    I went here for the first time a couples weeks ago. It had been a while since I got my last tattoo. Sarah was the artist and price was $300. I got a harlequin type clown. She was awesome. Very friendly and not heavy handed. I will be back for at least one more.

    Went for a walk in for a small tattoo, Brandon was available and was super nice! Easily was in and out within 45 min. Brandon made sure that I liked the design, size, and position. He did a great job :) Only charged me $80, which is the minimum for a tattoo there.

    Crystal and Justin are the absolute best! They've been my piercers every year since 2012. Always super helpful and make everything virtually painless!

    very friendly people, & I LOVED the atmosphere and energy in there. My piercer was Jessica Murphy and they did an amazing job super fast very friendly as well!! I absolutely love my piercing I will definitely be going back!! Not quite sure what the other reviews are talking about “the workers having an attitude” no one there was rude or bad an “attitude” it’s a professional place with professional people.

    I went in today to have a new tattoo done. I was greeted by James🙂 super nice guy and did an amazing job on me today. I found a new tattoo guy lol! I also want to compliment blue horseshoe on using the electronic way to sign in and submit ID and how they include the after care in the pricing. I had a good experience once again with this place. I am a returning customer. Thanks James!

    People were super friendly, Rhino did an amazing job, tweaking my choice to be just perfect. I can't wait to see it healed but it is already perfect.

    I walked in for a cover-up & Brandon did a great job. I love my tattoo. The shop was clean, great atmosphere & great vibes. I definitely recommend!

  • 1/5 Sarah D. 10 months ago on Google
    We were from out of town and called ahead to get details about getting a nose piercing for a minor. We were just told an ID of parent and teen to make sure last names matched. Upon getting there my teen only had a student ID and we were told we needed a birth certificate. That would’ve been helpful phone information. I was clearly the parent. The child’s ID said Grade 9. How many ages can you be for grade 9 and it’s clear it was an ID from last school year and school is almost out. My signing off and that ID should’ve been enough. Very disappointing!

    The front desk ladies were very helpful and super knowledgeable. I was referred to Justin by 2 different people for piercings. I wanted my nipples done (for the third time), and he made it the easiest, less painful piercing of all. He explained every step and made me extremely comfortable. Highly recommend Justin!

    Love Jessica she did my first nose piercing, I was super nervous and she comforted me. Noel did my second nose piercing which was the double piercing I wasnt as nervous but she was quick and they look great . Love this place overall 👏🏾

    Got a walk in with friends - very easy to do red ink rose. Everyone was very nice. My artist (Brandon?) did not allow us to look at the tattoos while he was doing them and was visibly very shaky while tattooing. He went over the stem multiple times which caused the lines to bleed (thicken), and be itching painful and bumpy for 2 weeks now. The tattoo looks terribly messy and is my first poor experience getting one in 10 years :( never leave reviews but wanted to warn other people against walk ins at this location for simple line work, don’t be like me, plan out your tattoos and artists!

    My husband and I both got tattoos and Rhino was our artist. He did an awesome job! He was very helpful, gave really good suggestions, and the overall tattooing experience was much better than my previous sessions (at another place). Everyone was friendly. The atmosphere was peaceful & fun. I/We will definitely be going back!

    Dropped in to get help with my nose stud. Just needed a change! Everyone was just as friendly & professional as they were when I first got pierced. Adam is great and knows what he's doing! If you're gonna get pierced, this is the place to do it. Highly recommend!

    Rhino was my artist (He’s also the shop manager). He is AMAZING in his artistry. When you are in his seat he is very personable and kind. We held a great conversation. Don’t believe the bad reviews about Rhino from disgruntled people because they are NOT true.

    Went in last for the Friday the 13th event, and Paulie did an amazing job with my tattoo and made sure I was happy with it. Always feel super welcomed and it's a clean and professional environment. 🖤

    15 years ago I got my ears pierced by a piercing gun at the mall. The holes closed up and I decided to get them pierced again but this time with a sterile needle at blue horseshoe tattoo. I told the staff I don't like needles but I knew it was better to go this route; they reassured me it wouldn't be bad. It def. Hurt a little more than a piercing gun but my ears healed so much faster and better! I wish I could remember the names of the woman who helped me pick out my earrings and the woman who actually pierced my ears. They made the experience a lot more entertaining and they even offered me a lollipop due to me being nervous lol I'm considering my first tattoo and I think I'll come here just because of this experience.
