My wife had her tattoo done by Cory. Super awesome guy and very good at his craft. The shop was very clean and was inviting. I would definitely recommend this place.

I always go to Jamie for my piercings. She is very professional and talks you through everything. She takes her time and doesn’t rush anything. She’s done a nose piercing, double helix, and belly button piercing for me. I would highly recommend her! Cory did my tattoo and he was also great. It was simple writing on my foot and barely hurt. I followed his aftercare advice and it healed super fast without any problems.

Got a traditional piece done by Nic. I love it. Sharp lines and great color saturation. One of my best pieces. I can’t wait to go back.

Got my first tattoo Saturday from Cory. He was great! Showed me the needles and tools he would be using. Made sure to explain everything to me. Started off slow to make sure I would be ok and talked to me the whole time. I felt very comfortable with him and would recommend him to everyone. Very clean shop.

I came here to get my first tattoo ever. I got a black outline tattoo on my wrist by Cory. He is a super friendly, hilarious guy. I was super nervous. He was understanding and told me that I could let him know if I needed a break. I only took one, and my tattoo took a way shorter time than I expected yet it still looks fantastic. Cory also did my best friend’s tattoo. We just stopped into the shop toward the end of their hours, yet he stayed to do the tattoo for her. I thought that was super cool of him. The shop has a neat atmosphere. Lots of work from local artists on the wall. Lots of cool body jewelry to look at. Love this place!

I had gotten a couple of foward helix piercings at another place in town a few weeks before going into Exquisite(obviously a big mistake… I should have gone to Exquisite to begin with). I was having a hard time with the jewelry(and so was another friend of mine who got hers at the same time I did). So I went to Exquisite to see if they could help. Jamie was SO nice and helpful. She had very high quality jewelry in stock(adorable too), and she switched out the crap that had been put in previously. The environment was very clean, and she spent a lot of time with me. And even better, almost instantly my piercings started feeling better. I waited a week to write this review to ensure they continued in that direction, and they have. I ordered additional replacement jewelry while I was in there too. She was so helpful and professional, and of course very experienced. Trust me when I say I will exclusively go to Exquisite for any piercing or jewelry I get in the future!!!

Quality of tattoo, cleanliness, & professionalism =5 Price=3 Overall Cory did an amazing job on my boyfriend and mine’s tattoos. I couldn’t be happier with the way they both turned out. The shop is very clean, and he runs his needles soft so it didn’t hurt at all. Having said that, I would definitely recommend him for any first timers who might be nervous about getting tattooed. He showed us the needles coming right out of the packaging and showed us as he disposed of them after. He also ripped up our custom tattoo designs to ensure that no one else would be getting our tattoos. He went over aftercare with us and said he would do free touch-ups if needed within the next month. Unfortunately, he quoted us $ 85 and $ 125 respectively. When we arrived for our appointments he said it would be $ 200 and $ 250. Since this was more than twice what we were expecting we had not saved up that amount of money. Ultimately, he ended up doing our tattoos for $ 320. If there had not been such a discrepancy in the quote and the intended actual price I would give him 5 stars.

I just came here to get a piercing that I was super nervous about. My piercer was Jamie, and she made me feel completely comfortable right away. She talked me through every step of the process, talking about what sorts of jewelry they offer, the sterilized equipment, what exactly she was doing and why. It definitely kept me calm during the actual piercing. I appreciated that I was allowed to have someone in the room with me. She was also very clear about the aftercare and gave me some non-iodized salt to start my sea salt soaks that day so I didn’t have to run out to the store right away. I’ve been to two other places for piercings so far, and Exquisite is definitely my favorite. I can’t wait to come back and I’m now referring all of my friends here.
