Got my nose pierced here and a tattoo done by Justin. He is a PHENOMENAL artist and has such reasonable prices. I'm in love with my tattoo. He works super quickly and has incredible linework. Never going anywhere else for a tattoo!!

My wife and I each got a tattoo. Justin was super professional, kind, and did phenomenal work - just exactly what we wanted. We look forward to returning to him again soon!

This business is so botched I don’t think anyone there knows what they are doing and after they screwed up the placement of the piercing the owner went on about how she doesn’t want to hear about what other people have to say. Very unprofessional and they are definitely not certified.

I went to VCTP to get my second hole in my ear lobes re-pierced because it had been decades since I had been able to wear earrings there. I went here and was so happy I did. They were professional, kind, and knowledgeable. The piercer told me that she always checks to make sure the hole is really closed before re-piercing it. Low and behold she was… able to clear the holes out and get earrings in. I felt bad for taking up her time and she was so kind to me. The shop as a whole was clean and friendly. I have a few tattoos and other piercings and it had everything I would look for in a good

My daughter had her ears pierced for the first time a few weeks ago. Julie was a great person to work with; she was very informative, professional, and calm. My daughter experienced no pain during or after the piercings and her ears are healing beautifully. The shop is very clean and cozy. I would definitely recommend Julie for anyone having their ears pierced (or other parts!).

Julie is awesome and even came to visit me at my work days after my piercing just because she’s so sweet! Super fast appointment and inexpensive ear piercings. Been there twice now for multiple piercings and can’t wait to go back. My brother also got three tattoos there and loves them!

It’s been years since I had gotten a piercing about 15years. Julie was absolutely amazing so understanding and very patient with me. She even checked my earring gage when I asked her if she could let me know what it was, also checked if my belly ring was still open.

Mary was very accommodating and got 7 girls in on a Saturday afternoon with pretty short notice. She was knowledgeable, honest, and the most gentle artist I've had work on my skin. They do beautiful work and have a professional environment. I can't wait to go back! Thanks for being awesome!

I got a tattoo from Mary and had an excellent time! The tattoo was across my ribs and the entire process was absolutely lovely. Mary was super understanding of my initial issues deciding a font, and reassured me of her proficiency in small details which she definitely delivered on. She was extremely light handed and absolutely prioritized my privacy and comfort, which was incredible. Overall, the vibe in the shop was super accepting. I would totally recommend Mary as a tattoo artist, though all the art I saw in the shop was incredibly cool and creative. I also got pierced by Julie a few months

I brought my daughter in last night for her first tattoo. They had a cancellation and allowed me to get one too. Joe was really nice and very professional. He made the whole experience very special since we decided to get matching tattoos...She also got her tongue pierced while we were there and Julie was wonderful, very quick and gentle. We will definitely be back.

Great place. Happy that I was able to make time and take the 2hr ride to go and see them, even tho I was 2 hrs late from when I had my appointment he understood and I’m thankful that I didn’t have to make another date, he stayed late and was able to lay some ink on me after hours, thankful for that. Down to earth people and great environment. Thank you for the great time and taking me in after hours.!! Means a lot and thank you all whom work at this fine business. Thank you, thank you
