I always get my piercings done here recommend 100% for that. Recently my husband and I got ring tattoos (so 4 small lines). We love how they turned out, the artist was great, always a fun atmosphere, but we were charged $160.00 total for these tattoos. I have a shoulder piece and a forearm piece and I paid less for those then I did my ring tattoo. Artist did a awesome job, I just believe we were over charged for what was done.

Ive never had any piercings before and went in for just lobe piercings. I wish I remembered her name, but my piercer was super sweet and friendly and made me feel comfortable. Everything appeared to be very clean and sanitary too. She did a fantastic job because I didnt feel any pain during the process, and still have zero pain, swelling, or redness a couple days later. The earrings I bought from them are beautiful as well. The whole process was so easy and fun, Ill definitely be back for more piercings!

I recently experienced a devastating family loss and wanted a tattoo to commemorate the loved one. I called Grade A and not only were they able to get me in very quickly they also were very kind and compassionate and were able to get a second family member tattooed with the memorial tattoo we wanted. The tattoos turned out beautiful: the attention to detail and the precision on the finer details of the piece were exquisite.
Hands down. 100 percent recommend this shop for any tattoo needs.

Marco did a great job doing a dermal piercing underneath my eye, it was fast and he wasnt super aggressive on my face which made it better as well as coworkers from grade A talking to me which helped me feel more comfortable getting a piercing like this, thank you!! I also got a tattoo with Enrique, it turned out amazing i love it, always made sure i was doing ok as well as making sure i was comfortable with the placement of the tattoo. Me and my mom got matching tattoos and he did an amazing job as well as keeping conversations with us to make the time go by faster and for us to ignore the
