Services
We fully exceed all State of Michigan health requirements & exceed the CDC guidelines for autoclave testing. THIS IS THE SAME OR EVEN MORE STRICT SAFETY STANDARD THEN WHAT DENTAL LABS or small surgical clinics use. Our safety testing is done by an outside lab and our records are available for your inspection upon request.
Artists set their own prices individually and each have a different rate, style, and availability. Most tattoo appointments require a deposit (typically 25% of the total cost or 1 hour of the artists rate) to book an appointment. Our studio features 100% private rooms - our studio is small therefore we will only allow you to bring one guest to your appointment.
All of our starter jewelry is externally threaded which has been in the industry standard for over 20+ years. We do offer some upgrades (anodized colors, gemstone optioNS) for an additional $5 charge. Our starter body piercing jewelry is made from ASTM F-136 certified (G23) implant grade titanium or ASTM F-138 certified implant grade "SURGICAL" stainless steel.
For any procedure involving a minor Michigan State Law requires that the parent be present to sign the paperwork, remain present during the procedure, and provide to the studio their ID, the birth certificate of the minor, and some form of ID for the minor having the procedure done. The minimum ages that we've established are requirements laid out by our insurance.
Q: Why are your body piercings priced lower the some other studios? A: Our body piercings are performed with implant grade metals (see our piercing page for more info). We cut costs by simplifying the choices offered for starter jewelry (most piercings have several choices), and buy our supplies in bulk from the factory to keep the prices lower.

I’ve been to this shop for 3 tattoos. 1 that was poor quality, one that was good quality, and one that was just a consultation. All I worked with Seth on. I can tell he takes a lot of pride in his tattoos because when I received my first tattoo and it began to fade within the first month he said it was fine but after in insisted on a touch up he followed through. The tattoo is still very blurry. I gave him a second chance and he rocked my second tattoo and it’s still beautiful. But when I came back for my third which was a memorial tattoo, and in the middle of us emailing back and forward designing

I came here to see Stevie for my first tattoo back in October and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience! I gave Stevie a few ideas in regards to what I wanted and let her create something for me and somehow she was able to draw up exactly what I didn’t even know I wanted, without me needing to change a thing. Stevie is beyond talented and the after-care process was seamless. Will definitely be back!

I’ve gotten most of my piercings from here and lemme just say: they are amazing! The inside is always so clean and the environment is so welcoming. Both of the piercers I’ve had (Roxy and Stevie) have been so awesome! They really help calm your nerves and every experience has been so pleasant.

Got my belly button pierced here awhile back. Finally got new jewelry from a different parlor after getting sick and tired of cleaning out my piercing after having it ooze everyday for more than a year. Turns out the jewelry isn't quality like they advertise and is externally threaded which is bad for the piercing as well. Beside piercing it crooked the piercers were nice. Sanitation was iffy. Just pay the extra $20 and go somewhere else.

I normally do not write reviews but this is hands down my favorite place for piercings. They are professional, clean, so nice and accommodating and make you feel just so comfortable. I’m so happy with all three of the piercings I’ve had done here and the experiences I’ve had both times in the shop.

Heather is absolutely amazing! She has done my nose, upper lobes, daith and helix. Will be back for another helix and 2 more love piercings!
When I needed a breather after the daith She was very calm as she grabbed me some water and talked to me as I calmed down. I am so excited for her to obtain her certification!

I have been going to No Name for a little over 3 years now and Stevie always does an amazing job! Stevie is easy to talk with and is also down to make any of your tattoo dreams a reality. The rest of the staff are also great and super friendly. I recommend No Name to all my friends and family for piercings or tattoos :)

Wow is all I can or could ever say. This place is unbelievable with, alone, the exceptional level of customer service from literally every employee that works there.
Long story short about me: I love the idea of tattoos and always have, I want many, and I have a very low tolerance for pain. So it's like wanting something that will always hurt you but ends up being beautiful and good in the end.
Back to No Name and, to a greater extent, Roxy the tattoo artist there. Flawless? Amazing? Intelligent? Understanding? Calming? Funny? Clever? Inspirational? A GREAT TATTOO ARTIST??? I mean yea true

Seth was the most wonderful human. I was getting a piercing and he made me comfortable and was very laid back while still being professional. Everything was clean and sterile. He made the whole process easy and communicated what he was doing as he did it. I am plotting my next piercing already because he made the process so enjoyable. They were very thorough with care instructions, I have a printed copy and email copy from them and Seth went over them verbally as well. I will for sure be back. And I will be recommending to friends.
They also have fundraisers for Turning Point which is amazing

I've been getting modifications at this shop since it opened. A wonderful, clean, friendly and welcoming building. I've been in some terror dungeons of tattoo shops.... Not enjoyable. I've had work done by many of the artists that have walked that hall and have always been impressed by the quality of work that comes out. Recently just finished a half sleeve with Chino that is beyond beautiful. Chino is extremely knowledgeable about his trade and equipment/supplies. The only way I could see something bad coming out of that shop is if you go in there with a bad idea or go against what

My advice to this place ? SLOW DOWN! Super friendly, decent work, nice price, rushed tattoo. Rushed tattoo= imperfections. I was a customer with an appointment and just because other people walked in wanting something doesn't mean you rush my work or stop in the middle to do someone else's stuff. Tattoo had missing lines in some places extra lines in the others. If this place took their time and waited on one person at a time these problems wouldn't happen or at least I would hope they wouldn't.

I wish I could give this place negative stars. I went last week to get an industrial piercing. 4 days later my ear is swollen three times the size and I can barely touch it because I was in so much pain. For the record, I followed all the cleaning instructions. I went back to No Name to see CHINO who pierced my ear and you know what he told me? To just take out the piercing. OH! OKAY! His coworker, who was sitting at the front desk mentioned that chino could put in two small rings to keep my piercing open and then when my piercing was healed I might be able to put in a new bar.

I had a cover up tattoo done by Chino and it looks great! He created a free hand design based on my description of what I was looking for and you can't see any of the old tattoo (which looked like it was drawn on in crayon - long story - college tattoo). I am planning on going back and adding more to the piece.
Reasonably priced for the size and time. Great guy with a lot of talent.

I went here for a simple tattoo, only 4 square inches. It is the umbrella symbol from the resident evil series. I had just had an unreal shift the night before on my paramedics job. I was kind of in a "high" state due to the life changing events and had an over whelming desire to get a tattoo, something that meant something to me and would remind me for the rest of my life what had happened in the last 16 hours. That being said I was not in the most clear of mind sets. I had been waiting for a long time to get a tattoo and already had about 6 professional piercings done (in addition to
