Shout out to Raquel Ruthless! I have been wanting this tattoo for so long, and she did an amazing job bringing it to life. I feel the price was appropriate as well. Also, I appreciate that all of the staff was polite and friendly, not just Raquel. 100/10, would go to her again for a tattoo.
Faith is a awesome artist,I had just a rough idea for my tattoo....but she reached into my heart and soul and gave me exactly what I wanted to remember my daughter !!Thank you Faith!!!
Faith did an amazing job on my tattoo. She was very nice, clean, and took her time to make my tattoo amazing! Her artwork is nothing less then a masterpiece. I couldn’t have been more please with the professionalism, and uniqueness she has. Can’t wait to get my custom sleeve done by her amazing skills! Shout out to Brad, also really cool guy as well
Wonderful shop! I had my nose pierced back in April. Brad put me at ease and was very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The shop is clean and I appreciated how they sterilized the jewelry in front of me. The piercing itself did not cause me any pain and it has healed perfectly, all thanks to having an experienced piercer. Thank you Brad!
Nate and Shelby have done fantastic work on my body and I couldnt thank them enough, today I got 2 tattoos done by Nate and they couldnt have turned out better. I highly reccomend this place. My friends and I come here for all of our tattoos and piercings! Thanks Nate and Shelby!
Rob was great! Listened to what I wanted and he did a great job!! Very happy with my tatts!! He added the paws to my feet that I already had... Just the way I wanted!! Covered up scars with other ones.
I had my nipples pierced today with Brad. I was totally bugging out beforehand but him, Faith, and the owner were so friendly and nice. Truly it was a no brainer after the first piercing. I felt really good walking in and even better walking out. I highly recommend coming here, they were fantastic, professional, and really down to earth. Good vibes all around. Shop is clean too. Thanks to everyone there, I’ll be back for my next piercing for sure!
I did not get pierced, my friend did. I am rating a 5 on hospitality because the piercer was so sweet and welcoming. Always spoke to us and made us laugh. My friend loves her piercing too! Highly recommend this place.
Tristan is awesome! Very professional and precise. 2 tattoos so far looking forward to more!
Great experience over there, feel very welcoming coming in, artist have great work, and everything about that place gives out a good vibe.
Absolutely fanastic tattoo shop! Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and 100% professional. Shelby did my artwork, and I couldnt be happier with the experience, and the tattoo. I wanted a tattoo redone, with abstract designs added. Shelby did everything I asked for, plus more. I highly recommend this shop!
I got a vertical philtrum piercing just yesterday with Brad, he was absolutely amazing. Super down to earth, comforting, easy to talk to. He was thorough in explaining why he was doing what he did. This piercing isnt super common so I had a lot of questions and had been researching for a few months how the piercing should be done, however Im still not the professional.Anyway he freehanded my piercing after marking it several times to make sure we were both super happy. He also added in a travel size neilmed for keeping me so longMy experience was nothing short of phenomenal. I will be going back to size down my jewelry as well as any further piercing needs.
Brad not only met our expectations, but he far exceeded them! My daughter (11) has been wanting her ears pierced again for quite some time now. However, she is terrified of anything that may be even slightly painful. Before he began the piercing he had her comfortable, giggling, and laughing. Once the process was about to begin, she started to cry a little because she was scared and asking how bad it will hurt. Brad told her, The fear of it is far worse than the actual event. Just like most things in life with some more added awesomeness and silliness to ease her nerves. They did a couple practice breath holds then *BLOOP* in with the piercing. She winced a wee bit, then started laughing at herself and the situation realizing that it, indeed, was not painful, only slightly uncomfortable. She was so beyond proud of herself for going through with it, and I can say with full honesty, had we gone anywhere else and it was anyone else, she most likely wouldnt have went through with it. Brad made this experience so phenomenal for her!!! Thank you again, Brad! You absolutely rock!!
Brad changed my nose ring jewelry which was infected because of an allergy, and he managed to do is as painlessly as possible i was so scared it would hurt but I barely felt a thing! The jewelry I had in was a weird one too and he was great at removing it and putting in another one. Great service and great pricing! Would definitely come here for future piercings.
Visited this location 3 weeks ago to inquire about getting one of my ears repierced. The nice young lady at the front counter explained the procedure and told me to come back in 3 weeks, after not wearing an earring. The shop was clean and comfortable. TODAY I went back to the shop and met with AJ. He was very professional and did a good job on my piercing.I would recommend this business.
Me and my sister came to get a nostril and ear piercings from Brad, he was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable! He was also very clean and sanitary with our piercings. Very good vibes in that shop 10/10! Will definitely be coming back:)
We used to go there when Sam did piercings and she was lovely. I had all 10 of my piercings done by her. The new piercer Brad is horrible, stay away. It took 3 hours for him to do 3 nose piercings. And no, not over exaggerating on that either. And he took multiple smoke breaks in between. We really wished we ended up going somewhere else. Very unhappy about it and hope they can eventually get another experienced piercer in there.
Went in with my friend for a nose piercing for myself and ear piercings for him. Brad is a super laid back and funny guy, very comforting and professional too. I was really worried about it hurting a lot and my friend was a bit nervous too because hes never had any piercings done and the last time I was pierced it was in a Claires at 8 years old and that was traumatic. But Brad was super quick and gave us a breathing technique to do that helped us focus our nervous energy as the needle went through. Only ended up being like a 3/10 on the painscale and I was expecting a 6 or 7 so I was very happy. Very minimal pain for my buddy too. Would definitely go back for future piercings.
Got my first two tattoos ever here from faith. did a fantastic job on both and they’ve both healed great. fs coming back for more
Friendly, clean and kind. Brad definitely knows his craft. Did a great job on my nose piercing.
My friend and I came in to get some ear piercings with Brad, and he was awesome! Friendly, funny, and definitely made us feel comfortable. He was excellent at recommending different jewelry options and making sure the piercings were the best spot for our ears.
Excellent service, got my septum pierced by Brad and it was an amazing experience. He was so friendly and funny and made me feel comfortable. Explained everything throughly and when it was time for the piercing it went great, fast and easy. I would highly recommend going to see Brad for your piercing. A++
I got an autism tattoo for my son and Frankie did an absolutely amazing job. Ive been looking for a new tattoo artist and I found one, she has an awesome attitude and makes you feel comfortable. I highly recommend frankie!
Faith did a fabulous job on my chest piece! She was very knowledgeable and I cant recommend her enough!
Customer service was great! staff was professional and efficient all around comfortable and enjoyable experience highly recommended for piercings or tattoo work across the board!
I called Vicious Ink when I was experiencing what I would call a personal crisis. You see, my nose ring (a hoop, open on one end) that I have had for 13 years, got stuck inside my nose and I could not get it out. Needless to say I was horrified. I panicked and called Vicious Ink and spoke to Brad the Master piercer there who was very patient and kind to me. He said he had not heard of this before but to come in and he would take a look to see if he could help. I did and he got the ring to spin in one direction until it popped out and then was able to put in a new, safer ring by repiercing the inside portion of my nose that had closed up. He was calm and talked me through the whole process. It was PAINLESS which I was so grateful for seeing as the first time I got my nose pierced it was so painful I almost passed out. The place was very clean and they got me an appointment the very same day I called. He answered every question I had very patiently and thoroughly which is great because I ask a LOT of questions. So thank you to Brad and Vicious Ink for saving my life and saving me a trip to the ER. I highly recommend them.
Polite, very welcoming, through. Explanatory. I definitely will be going back again!! Thank you so much!!
Fidelia (Faith) did the tattoo and it turned out awesome! Definitely a great person and amazing tattoo artist!! Will 100% be back.
It was very nice seeing one of two old friends Brad did a great job on piercing my daughter nose!
Sketched my idea and showed her what I wanted. A week later showed up to my appointment and Faith had a few stencils for me to choose from. Whatever, so I picked one I liked and asked her to add shading and give her zing to it… looks exactly like the stencil. Not the end of the world, I planned to go get more done to blend it in.Made an appointment for my girlfriend to get her first one and had art to show what she wanted. She arrived to Faith saying she didn’t do other people’s art (she made me choose from a pre drawn stencil the week prior!). So she sketched out a preschool drawling of what she wanted. She proceeded and got it done. Needless to say fooled me twice! Faith you get a half star from Melissa and I! Thanks but never again
I’m so thankful i found brad. what an amazing piercer with the best personality. i would get my whole body pierced just to hang out with them. thank you for making me feel comfortable and for listening to me. i love my new jewelry and i told you, i will be back!!! you are all the best, i’m very happy to have found my new shop!!kayla (ms. protesting appointment times)
After visiting Im highly satisfied with the professionalism and work done here. I got the most fabulous tattoo and it was done by Shelby. Shes gentle and very courteous and makes sure your satisfied before walking out the door. If you want anything with flowers or skulls shes your lady. Ill definitely be bringing myself and friends here from now on. Ill update with pics after healing!
Ive been to this shop multiple times and have never been dissatisfied. Nate Nash is an amazing artist, very friendly, clean line work, and great blending skills. Ive also been pierced by Eve Severe and she does a very efficient job. My nostril piercing looks amazing and was nearly painless. Highly recommend for all your ink and piercing needs!
Extremely clean , Very professional and Very friendly. Thank you Brad for everything you did for Missy and I.
Tristian was amazing. Both my tattoos are perfect. He was patient with a few changes I wanted, and made it happen. I appreciate the kindness and care he put into his work and awesome to chat with.Highly recommend Tristian and the shop. Thank you so much Tristian.
I received a botched nipple piercing in June/July of 2020. It went way too deep and caused me a lot of discomfort and bleeding (like way more than the average amount), and then when I went back to have it looked at I was told a longer bar would help, not actually removing the piercing (which is what you should do). Im extremely angry that this was done to me, and even when I went back for help my problem was still ignored. Now I need to wait months for my piercing to heal so I can get it redone at a place that actually knows what theyre doing and will not harm me. I had an overwhelmingly negative experience here, if youre reading this you have been warned.
Brad did my tragus piercing. He was very thorough and explained everything from beginning until after care. He also joked and talked alot to make me less nervous and more comfortable. He was very quick and gentle! Thanks for a great experience!!! Would highly recommend!!!
4.5- Kinda slow but they were busy so its understandable. Nice workers, brad was a sweetie. Quality piercing work, very happy with it.
My sister and I came in today to get piercings, and I just wanted to say how amazing Brad is!! He definitely had an amazing attitude, hilarious personality, and always made sure to explain, and help out in the best ways. Thank you Brad!
I took my 8 year old daughter in to get her ears pierced. The whole staff we encountered during our visit were very friendly and patient. Instead of just explaining the process and the aftercare to mom, they made sure she was completely comfortable and knew how to take care of everything herself. The place was very clean. I would definitely recommend them!!!!
I love this place. This was my second time getting pierced here and I was pierced by Brad, he’s simply amazing. He’s funny, talkative, informative and precise. I will definitely be going back here for any more piercings and tattoos.
Very clean place with a nice, friendly staff. It really seems like they care about what they do here. I like that they have signs posted regarding pricing so youre not wondering what youll pay. Nate was super friendly and down to earth. A friend and I got small tattoos but he still treated us like we mattered and took the time to make sure they turned out perfect. I love it! Will most likely return if Im ever in the area looking for a tattoo. Definitely recommend Vicious Ink!
Not sure what I wouldve done without Eve, she is absolutely amazing! She pierced my nose about 3-4 months ago. It was doing amazing, NO problems. So I decided to changed the jewelry just recently and what a big mistake. The prongs on the new jewelry was catching on everything! Went back to see Eve who is extremely knowledgeable and so helpful. She changed out my existing jewelry with not an issue for a new manageable one that wont snag on stuff! I was so ready to take it out but Eve made the process much easier. I would highly recommend this shop and Eve, shes the best!
I loved the piercings I got here! Got them done around Thanksgiving of 2018 and wanted to wait for them to heal to see how they look (great!!). I got two upper ear cartilage piercings during one appointment and I have had no problems with them since! the piercer at the Rochester location was awesome, and was willing to spend a lot of time working with me about where I wanted my piercings. the price was high, but covered the cost of the earrings and the actual piercing itself. I was more than willing to pay this because I had paid less for earrings in the past at other piercing shops which had gotten infected which needed antibiotics. I will be going back to vicious ink!!
Awesome experience at Vicious Ink! My mom got her first tattoo from Bre and she did wonderful work! I also got my ear pierced by Randee and I love it! She was the most knowledgeable piercer Ive ever met. The shop is very clean and everyone is so nice. We are definitely going back!
My first ever tattoo experience has left me very pleased, thanks to Vicious Ink tattoo! The building is lends a clean, friendly, and professional atmosphere with a unique edge of its own. Nate Nash was my artist, and he produced two beautiful pieces of art for my best friend and I. The whole experience was enjoyable, from him helping us create custom pieces to the tattooing itself. At no point did I have any concern from my experience. Highly recommended!
Awesome artists, they have no issues working with you to get what you want your piece to be.I recommend Shelby Johnson over at the Rochester Location, but theyre all fantastic artists.
I got my helix done here a few months ago and my piercer was incredibly nice and friendly. She helped me through the process and went in depth with after care. After the healing time was up i realized it was still not healed and had a big bump on both sides. I went to a near by shop to get my 2nd helix done since I wasn’t able to make it out here. When I went in the piercer at the new shop was disgusted by how bad it was pierced. She removed the jewelry to reveal I had 2 huge bumps on both sides of my ear which was caused by the piercing being pierced crooked. I told her I did sleep on it a few times and she explained this had nothing to do with sleeping on it and all about how it was pierced. She told me it was one of the worst piercing she’s ever seen done. I never realized how much the piercing had hurt me all the time until she took it out. I’m now left with 2 giant lumps on my ear which are very noticeable and left me unable to get the piercing I wanted on that ear due to the swelling cause by the bad piercing.

2022-05-01I love Vicious Ink! I got a helix piercing and I absolutely love it! Brad did an amazing job and was super fun to talk with. Im still amazed at how little it hurt. I will definitely go there again if I want more piercings and will recommend them to anyone who wants any. Thanks again!

2022-08-04Meant to leave this review months ago and had to come back to say what an amazing job Brad did. Went in with a friend to get my third lobe piercings and rook done. We had great conversation with Brad, he made us laugh a ton, and was super agreeable to let my friend get a spur of the moment rook piercing too! He even ran a pair of earrings I brought in through the autoclave to clean them and packaged them up for me so theyd be sterile for future use. He did such a great job with all of our piercings. He was thorough in explaining what to expect during the process and good tips for healing aftercare. Both of us have been saying for months how the piercings he did were unbelievably painless and both of ours have healed almost perfectly with no trouble. To make things even better, he also fixed a helix piercing I was unhappy with from a different shop that healed terribly and kept getting infected. Now it looks better than I couldve imagined and I love it. Will definitely be going to Brad for any future piercings. He went above and beyond from the very beginning. Huge thanks from the both of us!!

2022-02-06Brad pierced my ear about 8 months. I am happy with the quality of the piercing no keloid minimal infections(mild)I’m prone to them. it does seem like all of their jewelry is from body candy or something similar, nothing wrong with that but they definitely over charge on jewelry. bought the same exact earring I paid 40 dollars for for around ten at body candy, titanium and everything. In total I ended up paying almost 100 dollars for one helix. service itself was around 50 dollars if I remember correctly. If you’re going to get pierced here definitely bring your own jewelry or be prepared to pay a pretty penny on it. Besides being a bit overcharged on jewelry I do have to say overall I was happy with my experience brad was very knowledgeable and took the time to make sure I had exactly what I wanted. He was able to answer all of my questions and gave me detailed descriptions, the most enjoyable part of the experience was brad he had a good attitude throughout the entire process he was super enjoyable to be around made my friend and I comfortable we laughed a lot. Definitely would return for future piercings wouldn’t buy their jewelry again though 😂

2022-02-20I went in today for a tattoo and I am very pleased with the atmosphere and vibe the shop gives. Every single person was friendly and made it feel like a safe space. Frankie did my tattoo today and it is absolutely amazing we even slid in a tiny one Ive been wanting. Overall an awesome experience I am very happy with everything.

2022-06-10Brad did a great job with my piercings. However when I called the shop to get help with having the bar on my piercings switched to be longer (as Brad said to do at any time if needed) the girl who answered was really unhelpful, and told me they were completely booked tor the next two days even after I told her it was swelling and becoming irritated. Will have to find another shop to help me and give my business to moving forward.

2022-04-17I went w/ my sister in law to get our noses pierced, we loved the experience && our noses :) Our piercer was very friendly && funny to talk to . He made sure we were both comfortable the entire time , he answered every question we had && even questions we didn’t ask. We were both fully confident before he even took us to the room for our piercings . Definitely a better experience than other places i’ve gone && we WILL be back

2022-08-08Vicious Ink pierced my 4 year olds ears incorrectly. One earring was higher than the other with one being very low. The low piercing had trouble healing because of how it was pierced. Two people pierced at one time, and if they werent confident on their technique, they should have done it one at a time. My daughters ears are now incorrectly pierced for the rest of her life due to this shops error. I dont reccomend their piercings.

2022-02-11I very recently went here to get some facial piercings done (a septum and a vertical labret). i should note that i have never had a piercing (except for my ears) and was really, really nervous about getting this done — but brad the piercer was incredible. brad walked me through the process thoroughly and slowly, making sure i understood everything and double-checking with me constantly, assuring me when i needed it and making sure i was comfortable and happy the entire time. it was so quick, too, and honestly didn’t hurt too badly! brad barely took a minute or two to get the actual piercings done, and once finished, they were so beautiful and even. he is by far one of the smartest, funniest and most compassionate people i’ve met recently. i’m so happy with my piercings and i can’t wait to go back for more! i 100% recommend this place, especially if you’re a first-timer. thank you so much brad :) ! - lab-rett (teehee)

2018-07-21I was looking to have two helix (cartilage) piercings done and had passed this shop many times. I decided to drop in to ask some questions and ended up getting the piercing done the same day. Great decision to go to Viscous Ink!The staff was very helpful and accommodating to my requests. But I loved that they did give their professional opinion on things. They wanted you to make wise decisions and have the best experience possible. Long story short - they took care of their people!Shout out to Spencer for a great job and experience.
