Everyone at Alter-Ego is amazing and nice. Heather was my artist and new exactly what I wanted and did an amazing job. She also pierced my daughters nostril and was professional and caring and made sure we understood after care fully before leaving.

Renee is awesome. This was my first tattoo. RJ on phones explained to me How the booked appointments but I was able to snag a cancelation.
Renee took the time to listen to me, assuage me of my fears and concerns, and worked with me in the design. This is a business owned by women and I'm glad to support them. I'm thrilled with my tattoo and recommend this place.

I love Alter Ego, I will forever be going there now. I just got my nose pierced today by Heather. She is soo sweet and amazing! I was so scared, she walked me through it, and I came out happy as ever all the girls are so nice, place is so clean. Thank you all, especially Heather! When I got done with my piercing she made sure I was okay, and let me sit down for a bit before I left while she went over how to care for my piercing as well. Ill definitely be back soon for my first tattoo
