I have been here 3 times in the past year- twice for piercings and once for a tattoo. I have had nothing but good experiences. All 3 times I arrived, I was a walk in and they got to me very quickly. Most recently, my friend and I came in for piercings in a private areas....if that makes sense. Scott did a phenomenal job and made us feel really comfortable in what could have been an awkward experience. He was professional and had a great sense of humor. This place is definitely my go to for any future tattoo and piercing needs.

I called about walk in service for a nose piercing and when I arrived everything was prepped for me. The owner Scott did my piercing and he did an amazing job. While getting my piercing I asked about a small tattoo which he was also able to fit in right after my piercing and that also turned out great! Definitely going back, highly recommended. Scott the owner and the other employees are all an amazing team of artists. Thanks again!

Chad was fantastic. Staff was exceptionally nice and the skill level is way up with this crew.
I got a horrific big solid black tattoo in my 20's. Now in my 40's with a daughter it had to go. I brought in a design, worked it over with Chad and got it inked on, big tree about ¾ sleeve or larger. I'll be going back in a month for the shading. I did mention it was big. I was able to see other interactions with customers of all types and each was very friendly and outreaching. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions about what you really want. They want you to be happy

I went here for my second and third simple word tattoos. The staff is so cool and friendly. It was a long beforehand process with my tattoo artist, but the actual tattoos were done quick and look great. I was able to schedule an appointment for the same day and the tattoo shop itself seemed clean and had a good atmosphere. Overall great experience with super cool people, just took one star away for the waiting time.

My boyfriend and I called last minute for tattoos and they were able to get us in no problem! The owner, Scott did both of ours. Not only were the tattoos everything we both wanted, but getting them done was an experience that him and I will remember for a life time. We felt like we were best friends with all of the artists as soon as we walked in. They were crazy, fun, and hilarious. I was laughing the entire time and will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much Scott, Megan, and others! You guys made us feel like we belonged.

Kenny did a great job on my tattoo and was super helpful throughout the entire process. He even stayed late to tattoo me and was totally understanding after I made some unfortunate paperwork mistakes. Everyone at the shop was super cool and approchable and I they definitely adhere to the sign on their window that says “We’re looking for
friends, not clients.” I’d certainly recommend Knuckle Up to anybody looking for a comfortable, friendly, and professional environment.

If I could give less than zero stars I would! I made an appt 3 weeks in advance just to see some chic named Amber for a tattoo. She never even showed up! The staff was sitting around joking and laughing that her and her boyfriend we're drunk last night, probably hung over, and one of them has a black eye but they didn't know which one. They tried to call her phone and no answer. According to the owner she never answers though. So isn't that nice! And honestly would you want somebody to tattoo you who is hung over still at 2 o'clock in the afternoon? So after standing around

I just had work done by Amber and I couldn't be happier. I looked for a year for an artist I felt comfortable doing this piece for me. It is in remembrance of my father who meant the world to me. She knocked it out of the park and I can't thank her enough. I recommend her to anyone looking for great line work and an eye for all the little details. Thank you Amber.

Excellent place to go!!! This shop is friendly, talented, and easy going. If you want an atmosphere where you can walk in and literally be amongst friends then this is the shop for you. We walked in thinking it would be like every other tattoo shop, not very kind and full of ego trippers. This shop is unique. They were so kind and cool to be around. Emily is the best, honesty don't delay of you want great work. GO HERE PLEASE! Honestly a great place to go.
