Absolute Ink

Letter is awesome! I’ve gotten 3 piercings here. My first one was my forward helix, was fast and painless. The second time I got my double belly button which was done by an apprentice (I don’t remember her name, nor am I sure that she is still there), and the third was my rook. When I got my navel done they could tell I was getting a little dizzy so brought me water and some candy to get my blood sugar back up lol. And they let me rest and lay down until I felt better. When I got my rook pierced, that night the balls on both side came off, so I came back a couple days so Letter could help screw them back on. He ended up having to put in a new bar, but didn’t charge me for it! Overall he’s a super chill guy and always makes sure you’re doing okay. I recommend this place, especially for how inexpensive it is.

This is the only piercing I’ve ever had get infected. It also turns out he did indeed use the wrong jewelry. I’ve still not been able to get into contact with them via phone/​email/​website. AVOID.

I came there get pierced. I was told the piercer wasn’t there. Ok, understandable. So for two solid weeks, I called to make sure the piercer was there. The phone just rang and went to a full mail box. I even submitted an inquiry on their website to schedule the piercing, I have never heard back and it’s been over a week since I submitted the online inquiry. I’ll pass.

I’m giving five stars for Letter’s customer service. I’ve had a nose piercing for two years and it fell out this morning and I lost the ring. Apparently, I’m a fast healer as it started to close by the time I made it into the shop this afternoon. Letter spent time with me choosing a replacement and then at least another half hour getting it in. He was friendly and professional and I’ll go back to buy another nose ring or get a piercing. Thanks Letter!

I came in just to buy a jewelry piece. For the exceptionally awesome price, I expected a shady place with creepy workers. That was somewhat true but if your on a budget, I’d recommend this place.

My friend and I came here to get piercings. My friend got her industrial piercing for $ 50 and I got my naval pierced for $ 30. It was cheap and a fast process but they only accept cash.

I went to get my industrial piercing (55 including tax). It was worth it and a bit cheaper than most other places. On a scale from 1 to 10, it was a 4 for me but the again, everybody is different. The place is clean, no stains or anything. I got my piercing done by Letter and he’s a pretty chill dude. He knew what he was doing and that’s all i could really ask for. If to want a quick and easy piercing? Go here. My experience was pretty good overall and I don’t have any dislikes or complaints about the place.

I came here with my friend. I got the septum & she got the Medusa. The piercer guy Duke was really cool.

I came here with my friend & she got a septum & i got the medusa. The service was great we stayed longer then expected just chatting with the piercer. The pricing is the best yet ! I love this place !

Got my nose pierced here for $ 25, paid another $ 5 for a «diamond» nose stud. Now reading other reviews and trying to remember my experience back in February 2014, I don’t think he washed his hands after a client either, but rather put on new gloves??? lol uhhhh… maybe just hand sanitized. Not sure.
Well my experience happened pretty quick, and wasn’t too painful. He sanitized my nose area, marked where I wanted it pierced, pulled out sterilized needles & etc, and stabbed it through real quick. Yes, stab lol. It was all done and over in a couple of minutes.
Then he advised me on how to take care of it, and I believed the only thing he told me was to clean it with anti-​bacterial soap; although I was also told outside of the shop to use sea salt and warm water which worked fine as well in combination.

I like getting my body jewelry from Absolute Ink. The prices are reasonable and they also have friendly people there!

I GIVE THIS PLACE 1 STAR FOR THE PRICE! I went here on Saturday to get my tongue pierced! My friend got her Lip pierced, and my other friend got his Nose pierced… From the moment we walked we were disappointed! The place smelled of weed and the piercer was clearly high!(I don’t care about smoking weed I smoke too, but not in a work place!) he was unwelcoming, he set all 3 of us up at once in the same room. he was very rough and didn’t even let me know when he was sticking the needle through. My tongue bled and when he finished with me, he NEVER washed his hands! he put on new gloves and pierced my friends lip!!! when her lip started bleeding. he then again NEVER washed his hands!!! he put on new gloves and pierced my friends nose! I am like wtf how unsanitary and gross! not only that!!! he gave NONE of us aftercare instructions! definitely will never go here again! the only thing good about this place is the price.

My girl got her vertical lip pierced and the gentleman did an excellent job in about 5 minutes, plus this coupon, got 3 pieces of jewelry for less than 40 $. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ she will get pierced here again

I have been wanting a cover up for a tattoo I was coerced into getting years ago by an ex. This thing was big, dark, and humiliating. I searched for a long time for an artist or a place where I felt like I wasn’t going to be forced into something I didn’t want or have my ideas shot down. I finally stumbled across Absolute Ink via other Unilocal reviews. When I came in for a quick consult I was shocked at the size of the shop, kind of small, but there are only 2 artists. How much room do they really need? The shop was clean and neat so I didn’t feel like I was going to catch something. I was able to get an appointment with PENZ for the following week. This dude is AWESOME!!! He immediately made me feel comfortable by listening to my ideas and reassuring me that he could do what I want. He is an amazing artist! His interpretation of my idea turned out to be an effin amazing one of a kind tattoo!!! He’s creative, thorough, organized and knows his craft well. I am in love with my tat, so is every one who sees it. Will for sure go back to have more pieces done by him.

I went in there for a septum piercing, with no clue of how much it would hurt or cost. They told me it would cost 25 $. I paid, even though I felt like that was a little low. We went in, the man was covered in tattoos and piercings, which was expected but it seemed like every time I looked at him I noticed a new piercing.
He quickly put the clamps on, and slowly pushed the needle through. Afterwards, he then started prepping the actual piercing! It took him five minutes to get the piercing out, clean it and attach it. I was in the worst pain ever, he had pierced through the cartilage. The entire ordeal took about an hour. I nearly passed out from pain, but he was nice enough to give me some water. I didn’t get a receipt, and he gave me a quick walk through on how to clean it and sent me on my way.
I don’t recommend ever coming here for a piercing, about a month later I got my septum pierced the CORRECT way. It doesn’t hurt at all now, and barely hurt getting it done.

It’s safe to say that I have many piercings and tatts all of which I got at the same place. When my shop got closed down I was a little afraid to try Someone new. Z at Absolute Ink took really good care of me. I got my dimples pierced and love em. I feel very comfortable knowing that if I have any concerns or questions about the work done I can call or walk in to a solution! I recommend Z at Absolute Ink with every compliment I get!

I absolutely love this place, the guys there are very friendly and attentive the prices are very affordable also. I refer all of my friends to Absolute Ink, I look forward to returning!

When looking to get a tattoo of any sort — whether its some huge «mural» on your back or a small French idiom (aka ME!), head on over to Absolute Ink and ask for Penz. He is a wonderfully skilled tattoo artist that makes any tattoo come to life — literally. Your whole experience from beginning to end is memorable. Not for the pain that is inflicted with a tattoo gun, but because he is meticulous, careful, and expertly crafted. I recommend him to anyone who wants to get permanently inked.

GO SEE PENZ!!!
I have gotten several tats from other inkers, he is by far the best artist i have ever been in contact with!!!
Penz has done 5 tats on me, starting 3 years ago and they all look brand new.
He has a high attention to detail and gets them done promptly! Highly recommended!!!

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE! I got snake bites with studs at Absolute Ink, and they pierced it crooked! I also went home to clean it and one of the balls fell off because they didn’t screw it on all the way. they told me fake names and NO RECEIPT. I even asked for a receipt, and they wouldn’t give me one! they were RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL!
