Speakeasy Tattoo

I went in the other day to get a geometric eagle tattoo, I ended up speaking with John and we figured it out as I wasn’t really sure which one I wanted I just knew I wanted an eagle tat on my forearm and continue working on my sleeve. John was awesome for only doing it for a certain amount of time he was great! I ended up telling him why I wanted to do an eagle and that reason was for the military men and women I’ve lost, he was cool about it. I will definitely be coming back in to work with him or any other artists willing to do geometric tats. My next tattoo idea is to do not just 1 but hopefully get 3-4 tattoos on my left forearm(bear, lion, shark, tiger, etc), I want to do my entire left forearm and up/sleeve with the geometric style and my right side with random stuff that matter to me. The vibe of this shop too was awesome!

Atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and professional. The artists are not only incredibly talented but also genuinely passionate about their craft. Dan took the time to listen to my ideas, offer helpful suggestions, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The detail and precision in the work is outstanding and prices were fair. My tattoo turned out even better than anticipated. Cleanliness and safety were clearly a top priority, which gave me total peace of mind. Can't wait to come back for my next piece.

Me and my boyfriend went in to get some piercings and tattoos, and the entire time that I had called ahead and everything the person speaking Dalton, had to go and check everything with the piercer Jason whom I thought would be doing my piercing and to my surprise it was not. It was Dalton and okay fine I thought the best of it I was willing and hopeful that it would be fine but it just threw me off when Jason wasn't the one piercing me and Dalton called us over to get it done and I sit down and he lines up the clamp, it immediately felt off I could tell that it was too low and I kind of said something that like maybe it should be a little higher and that was ignored, obviously I'm not a piercer but I do my research and watch videos I know where the placement should be, so when he put the needle in it hurt like hell and obviously did not go through all of the way which left it bleeding from both sides somehow so the septum was a complete fail, so I thought okay I'll just get a normal lil stud cause thats super easy and quick and again, to my surprise it was most definitely not quick, he was struggling and shaking while trying to not only pierce it but get the jewelry in as well my nose was already in pain from the failed septum but this was just making it worse, he gets it through and it's a corkscrew nose stud, the only option they had. I went and look at it and the placement is completely off. It's way too high like wayyy too high and if I wanted to change it to a hoop like I had planned on, there was no way I could because of how freaking high on my nose it was, granted we didn't pay that much for it but Speakeasy did not offer any kind of piercing solution which I feel should be required if your going to do a piercing so I walked down to silver safari and got both of the piercings checked out, they were all in shock when I showed them the hole from the septum it was just completely incorrect and they immediately told me to go get my money back for that damage and the fact that they even said the stud was way too high and I couldn't change it to a hoop if I wanted too as well! So I know that I wasn't in the wrong. I hate being that complaining person, but I should just check who is actually going to be piercing me from now on. Was not a good experience the professionalism was not there what so ever, they did not once ask for id so basically anyone could walk up in there and get something, everything just altogether even trying to get my money back was a hassle, he kept trying to make excuses until the ACTUAL piercer came over and even said yeah you did it too high that's why it didn't go through so I knew for sure I wasn't in the wrong. I felt real bad going back and requesting my money back but I took the stud out because it's not what I wanted or was even feesable !! Would not recommend getting pierced here unless you get someone very experienced.... Obviously didn't end up getting the tattoo because of this experience it was just upsetting so I can't say anything about that but overall just make sure you know what your getting yourself into beforehand! I would give no stars if I could.
