Y’all, if you weren’t convinced by the multitudes of amazing reviews, be convinced by mine. GO HERE for piercings - Bonnie and Karen are amazing! I have gotten my ears pierced many times (as you can see by the pictures) and this is by far the best experience; from earring choices to attention to detail, Titan is the best option!!

5 stars for the employees. Bonnie is the best. Go to her for piercing whatever you need. She'll take care of you so well. The whole crew there is really great and personable.
The one thing I'll say is I wish the owner treated the employees better. She degrades them in front of customers and it just isn't right. As long as you don't have to witness that, you'll have an amazing time getting any tattoos or piercings here

Had the best piercing experience with Bonnie! My boyfriend and I came in as walk-ins, and felt incredibly welcomed by every artist that greeted us. They got to us quickly, and everything was very clean and professional! We will definitely be coming back to Bonnie in the future.

Get your work done here. Austin could not have killed it any more than he did. He put our ideas onto our skin and made the tattoos come to life.
We have a lot of meaning behind the tattoos we got and have been turned down by others who could not envision what we wanted. The fact he did all of them blows my mind and they are CLEAN!
Austin you sir are doing what you are meant to be doing.
Love the atmosphere and the other people in the shop. Shop owner is pretty freaking dope as well glad we got to meet y’all.

Paul is amazing! My fiancé and i have been going to him, since we started to date. He’s done 3 out of my 4 tattoos from Titan Tattoo. I completely trust him on his designs & free/hand work.
He has also done a half sleeve on my fiancé arm. He’s amazing! Never get rid of him. If you do, you’ll lose the best employee you have.

I went here to get a tattoo. Unfortunately, I was not told that the tattoo would fall off. No it did not fade. My skin literally fell off with the ink.

This was a super meaningful tattoo. Austin and his team did not warn me this would happen.

I don't recommend this place if you want to get a tattoo. They don't care if you want a meaningful tattoo and won't do anything to fix what they didn't do properly.

Avoid going here for a tattoo. All they care is about their money and not the meaning of tattoos and making sure the tattoo last and is placed properly.

I got a small semicolon tattoo, my fourth tattoo. The artist left spots not filled in, tried to talk me out of my placement because "that's not what most people do" and was quite expensive compared to so many other places for what I feel was half effort work. I went to get the same tattoo for my mother and it was almost half the price and they stated she went too deep and scarred it (this was a separate place).
She offered to fill it in for free within six months (right after I got it) but there's no way I'll ever go back. Not to fill in her work or the other work I had

Bonnie and Grace are soooo knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I got my nose pierced by Bonnie & my medusa piercing fixed by Grace after 2 other shops messed it up and gave me incorrect info/aftercare. I won't go anywhere else from now on!

I came here on a Saturday in February & decided i wanted my nose pierced. Billie was the person who pierced my nose & she was actually the sweetest! so informing, great spirits & overall a pleasure. I can tell she truly enjoys what she does! she was easy to talk too quick & efficient! I came back probably a month later because i thought i broke my nose ring , I got the nose ring with the screw on top & didn't know what it looked like because i had never taken it out. I came in a panic & she's like no you didn't break it that's where the screw on part

Originally scheduled with Austin, but he was tied up. Ty took over and took care of us. Listened to our suggestions and created the perfect tattoo to celebrate our anniversary. The place is very clean and staff was friendly and professional.

Friendly, patient and will pair you with an artist to create what you want or ine who will just stamp that Google image on you :-) this is one of the cleanest tattoo shops I've been in and the artists are considerate of there time and yours! I'm from out of town and the communication and coordination was a breeze, even with a challenging cover up piece.

Went in on a whim for a small hand tattoo and I didn't have to wait at all! Austin did my tattoo and was so helpful in redrawing what I wanted done and putting it to scale. Next time I plan on getting another tattoo, I'll be coming here!

I saw Kelsey a few weeks ago for a water color tattoo. She is super talented. She was fast, too, which is a bonus when sitting through pain. Very clean shop. I had a great experience and I hope to go back and see her again!

Brittany did an amazing job on both my dad and I! She was very accommodating and friendly and explained everything as she did it knowing it was my first tattoo. The shop was very clean and we were super comfortable. We couldn't be happier :)

Should've been easy to fix some of the issues from Ty's initial drawing. He redid the head but didn't like that I wanted to change the eye brows. Asked for me to come in and said he redid the head 5-10 times. He never redid the head but once and did a quick sketch of the rest which Ty didn't do the back leg like we talked about; and so he gave up and kept the $50 deposit. Unless you want what they do already, don't come to these novices.
