I love going to this shop. Theyre personable and always provide quality service. I keep coming back for all my tattoo and piercing needs. I highly recommend them too all who ask.

Tony is an amazing artist!!! He did a wonderful job on my daughters tattoo.

Tony was great! We will be back for more.

My 16 year old daughter, her mom and myself decided to get the same Tatt, so we drove down and arrived to make an appointment. When we got there they had a cancellation, so we were able to be fit in. 40 minutes and $309 we were all done. Very quick, clean, and professional.

I went In to see Jordan the piercer he did an amazing job I went in to get my two nose rings fixed he took his time with that and then I had a couple other piercings that I did Not mention I needed fixed and brought it up to him I was there and he still took the time to help me with those Andy only charge me a very low amount in my opinion make sure you tip your people well because I definitely gave him an extra $40 for taking the time to help me

I went in for piercings with MattyB. He was absolutely amazing. Made me feel so comfortable and was very professional. I was extremely nervous going in, but it was done and over with in a blink and was a quick pinch on both sides. He was able to get me in earlier than my appt time and I was in and out within 15 minutes. I definitely recommend and will be going back for any future work. Thanks again!

Everyone there was so nice im planning my next tat

Got my first tattoo today. EMS is a very friendly guy with a huge imagination and great skills. Very informative, very comfortable environment, you can tell the customers safety is their first priority. It was a fun experience, albeit a little painful as expected lol. Thanks guys!!

Super cool environment and staff made my first piercing really enjoyable

Absolutely amazing. Fast. Kept my appointment time in mind. Made sure I was good and not gonna pass out. Got my septum pierced. Going back to get a tattoo as well. MattyB is awesome! Definitely see him for your piercing needs.

I got my tragus pierced on each side and was extremely pleased with the overall service I received. From the cleanliness of the shop, to the piercer being friendly and talking me through the whole process, I left a very happy customer! Matty B was professional, friendly, and made it a great experience. I definitely recommend going to see him for your piercings!

I love my cover up tattoo. Pleas go check out Jacob he have the skills an talent to give you exactly what you are looking for there clean an have good customer service. I will be back for more they get 5stars from me

Awesome place Awesome people Ask for Mike)

I’ve gone to Ink Assassins twice now. First time I got my daith pierced by MattyB. He talked me through the whole process and he did it so quickly I barely had time to feel it. Second time I went I got two tattoos by Jake. He did an amazing job on a coverup on my hip and another tattoo on my arm. The detail is just amazing and I am in love with my new tattoos. Very clean and comfortable environment and all of the guys are super nice and helpful. I already have another appointment lined up. Definitely recommend for piercings and/or tattoos.

Please listen to the one star reviews. I have had 11 piercings done in total and mine from Ink Assassins was the worst by far. I had my industrial done, which I know can be a tricky piercing to heal. When I went into the shop, I was not greeted kindly and made comfortable like you would be at a good shop. My piercer barely talked to me, probably said a total of 10 words. The whole process was uncomfortable and seemed unprofessional. I tipped generously and didn’t even receive a thank you. I cleaned it as instructed but a month later, my piercing rejected and I almost had to have stitches because of how close it was to splitting my top cartilage in 2. I went to Buddha’s which is a shop I know and trust, and have had excellent experiences with in the past. He removed it for me and not only was it pierced incorrectly by my piercer at Ink Assassins, but it was also pierced with low quality jewelry that did not even have threaded ends. Please do not go to Ink Assassins, worst shop I have ever been in in my city.

This place is a joke they owe my 60 dollar deposit.I recommend other not to go this place

Took my daughter there for a belly button piercing the guy was very understanding that it was her first he made her feel super comfortable and he was very easy to get along with i would recommend taking any first timer there its a very clean place as well they get an A+ in my book

We had a good experience for first timers!

I got my lobes pierced and two mid-sized tattoos here this month, and I couldnt be happier with how they all turned out. The piercing was relatively painless and the tats (designed by EMS) look absolutely gorgeous. Highly, highly recommend!

I went in looking for a traditional tattoo because I knew the shop was known for it. I worked with Thorns. He was able to get me in for the same week which is pretty quick considering Covid times. I was treated very well and I was super comfortable during the whole process. I ended up leaving with a really awesome traditional tiger tattoo. I would definitely go back for traditional pieces because they seem very passionate about that style there and their passion reflects in the work!

Love this place.Everyone is always so friendly, the work is amazing, and the prices are good.ETA: I absolutely love my tattoo. Jacob Miller is amazing at his work. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone who asks!

Very clean, professional environment. Went in for a piercing, super chill and not intimidating. Jordy was helpful and made us feel comfortable.Only letdown was the pricing was a little unclear on the website, so I was a little surprised when it ended up costing more than I had expected.

Got my first tattoo in honor of my wife who just passed away. It was done in Cyrillic Greek lettering and it came out perfectly. My thanks to the young man who did this for me. He made me very comfortable and at ease. Just in case youre wondering it says Susan is love .

Best place ever...

Going in for my second tattoo on May 1st from J-Miller. Custom design, great quality, he was able to take my vision and make it reality.

Nice tattoos to choose from.

Great Shop. Felt comfortable and informed about what I had done

I got my septum done here today, and Matt was honestly amazing! It was a quick and i was surprised at how it only hurt for a few seconds. Thank you Matt!

Loved this place, very professional, quick, to the point.

The music was too mean lol . Good place though was treated good.

Its the best place ever even people were nice there and they talk to you really nicely

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE. STRAIGHT TOOK MY DEPOSIT ON A TATTOO BECAUSE I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL SO I COULDNT MAKE IT. NOR WOULD THEY EVEN LET ME RESCHEDULE WITHOUT A NEW DEPOSIT THEY ARE HEARTLESS MONEY HUNGRY SICK PEOPLE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY TO TAKE MY MONEY. OVERPRICED TATTOOS AND A UNWELCOMING ENVIORMENT. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM TO NOBODY.

The artist was professional and followed protocols. My tattoo is what I wanted

Very professional and clean. They are a little high priced but as I always say you get what u pay for. And this place is definitely worth the money...

I received my first tattoo here (Simba). They did a excellent job. I recommend this place, if youre wanting to get a tattoo. Ill definitely be back.

Matty B did my piercing, quick, painless, did not feel a thing. He is thorough, knows what hes doing. I definitely wont trust any other piercer. Thank, Matty! Youre awesome! I love it.

Great place... MattyB is the best...

MattyB is so professional and quick at his job! Another successful daith piercing.

Just got my nose pierced by Jordy. It was a really relaxed environment and Jordy was informative, quick, nice, and super patient when my card was was an issue. They followed all COVID guidelines and it was super clean. Definitely recommend it. :)

Please spare yourself and go to Sacred Piercing for your piercings and body mod. I went back to ink assassins 4 or 5 times and consulted both piercers trying to fix a mistake they made and never owned up to. In reality they were too inexperienced to fix the issue. Other than being very frustrated I now have scaring for life. Love and respect your body enough to never go to Matty B.

They were amazing n fast I live they work n how they interact with the people

Me and wife and son got tattoo from Jacob and was great did a

Their piercer Matty is always a pleasure to work with! Makes sure youre comfortable and provides great customer service! Highly recommend him.

I got an impulsive nose piercing at Ink Assassins while on senior trip and I couldn’t be more happy with my choice! The service was excellent, my piercer was friendly, and I am very content with the outcome. The entire facility was extremely cleanly and welcoming. Shoutout to the long haired man behind the counter and the bespectacled piercer who fulfilled my first-time piercing dreams.

Always a good time! Very professional and friendly!

Me and my wife went in to get piercings. Took less than 20 mins to get both my wifes septum and for me to get snakebites. Guy was amazing at it Id highly recommend this shop for piercings.

This was my first time going to Ink Assassins for anything and I honestly love it. Having it as my first facial piercing too, the piercer explained what each piece did and how hed do it. Really great service

Ive gotten a couple intimate places pierced, and Matty B has done an awesome job every time. Everything is very clean, he walks you through step by step whats going to happen and answers any questions you have with the utmost confidence. Very professional! He made what couldve been an awkward situation very casual and not uncomfortable at all.I would definitely recommend Matty B for any piercings.

Made an appointment a month ago walked in today (my birthday) and was told I could not get it because the guy was not there to do it. I was not called in advice my time was waisted. Not Impressed with the staff only good for piercings.

Got my first few unique piercings done here but the prices are a bit much and the amount that they charge for tattoos is extravagant.

Lovely people

Awesome environment and service

Got my largest tattoo here about 6 months ago. Never had an issue scheduling an appointment or describing my idea to get what I wanted. Line work turned out great and solid. If you dont want to pay the price for good work then go somewhere else. It was one hundred percent worth it in my opinion. The building is older and yes, has chips in the ceiling, however I felt it added character and it wasnt like it was falling on my head. I really enjoyed checking out the architecture while getting my tattoo done. Cant wait to go back for more.

I was here in August of 2017 and got a tattoo on the top of my foot and it turned out amazing! I highly recommend Teddy Rex, he was the one who did it. Even with how often I was in either the bath or even pools and hot tubs it still looks great. I havent heard too many good things about some of the other artist, my friend went the same day and got one on the side of her foot, which was a poor placement on her part, but its almost completely gone, I cant remember who did hers though. So as long as you get Teddy to do your tattoo youll be golden! Also for how big it is, very well priced.

Always do a great job with my piercings

I feel I was over charged for a nose ring 55. Was steep! I coulda of gotten a tattoo for that price....and its COVID 19

Did not feel comfortable or welcomed there. They werent understanding my vision of what I wanted and talked down to me for it. Sorry I dont want something a million other people have.Clean place though and good prices. Ill give them that. I chose not to get ink there, so cant review that.

Best tattoo shop in Erie for sure!

Got my first tattoo there 8 years ago. Friendly folks, good music and relaxing but my tat is raised which I dont personally mind. However, Ive been told its technically scarred which is not proper tattooing technique.

Clean, professional and quality art. You can get a small piece for about $60, but this is the place if youre looking for large, custom, distinctively good tattoos. Jake Miller has done some incredible artwork for me. Ive also seen really impressive pieces from the other artists on friends.No wonder they have the best reputation in Erie!I dont have any piercings, but Ive seen a lot of really happy customers move through while Ive had my work done. I would recommend them for anybody looking for any body art while in Erie.

Just left Ink Assassins a very happy customer! David did my tattoo, and Teddy did my husbands. They are everything we wanted them to be! Everyone was very professional and nice, we didnt have appointments but were done in about an hour. I highly recommend for your next tattoo!

This place is trash. My husband, mother and I went in for tattoos. It was my mothers first time getting a tattoo and Tony had the WORST customer service we have ever experienced. My mother was nervous and Tony did nothing to reassure her even when she asked his opinion and eventually even got a little frustrated with her (all before he even started tattooing her). Thankfully our tattoos turned out okay but my husband wasnt so lucky. We all get done and leave the tattoo parlor and my husband notices that an entire line in his tattoo is missing so we call the shop and ask for David (the artist who did my husbands tattoo) and are told that David went home. My husband continues to explain the problem and the guy on the other end of the line tells him that no, no one here can fix it and David wont be in again until Saturday. My husband asked no one can fix a line real quick to which he replied nope I cant do that. Okay bye. A couple minutes later DAVID calls back and tells my husband to come back in. We went back to the shop where David continued to argue that the tattoo is fine and found every reason why what he did was right. Overall horrible customer service, overpriced, and crappy artists. What a joke. Never again.

Got my nose pierced and i never had a better experience! We got right in and Matt was amazing! Funny, friendly and Amazing! Thank you!!

Went in for a small tattoo on my hip and told them what I want just for them to completely change the tattoo. He also missed a few spots and I had to get it retouched else where. I also got my nose pierced here and he made the hole too big for the stud he put in so it eventually fell completely through my nose and became severely infected. Will not be going back.

Totally awesome guys fun time and good price for a quality tattoo.

Having gotten several tattoos here, and also having gotten many elsewhere, I can tell you that in my experience this place is a bit costly for what you are getting. Now obviously with something like a tattoo, the artist you choose matters. And the art you choose matters. And the combination of the two also matters. But as Ive said, Ive been here several times. So have my friends and colleagues. I always think the tattoos are okay, but not great, and I always gasp when I hear the price. I can tell you that the last time I was there I paid $150 for something that would have totally been a shop minimum tattoo elsewhere. But, it was a Sunday and I wanted ink, so there you go. Still, its a clean establishment. I recommend them if you are a walk-in sort of customer and you want something now.

Love this place. Just got some piercings and tattoos from here. They are professional and friendly. Havent had a bad experience yet! I definitely recommend them.

Jordy did an awesome job with my tongue piercing. Super relaxed vibes and super quick.

Awesome experience. EMS is an awesome artist and even greater person. Cant wait to get my ink done by you. Amazing job on my fiancee.

Decent on price an they do walk ins on Saturdays, not like most places that overcharge an take alot of smoke breaks... they get it done an make it look great an out the door you go, best in Erie for customer service Id say

Definitely my favourite place to get pierced. Very clean, professional and quick. Definitely will be coming back to get my next piercings.

This place is one of the best places to get a tattoo in my opinion. Make sure you get there early or make an appointment because they get busy really quick. I would definitely recommend this shop to anybody looking to get some ink done. I know I will be back.

I was extremely upset and had an issue with only one artist, who was very unprofessional , I paid for 2 tattoos sitting fees. Then he told me he could not do what I was asking for. The art work was just traced from a picture that I sent him with all the flaws and was not altered the way we asked. Then I was charged for art work he didnt do. I went to Buddhas who was extremely professional was very patient and understanding to what were looking for. My son got an amazing tattoo from Rob that my son and my family are extremely proud of.

Never had a single problem with and/or at this place. From my experience, the staff working here are quite honest and frankly have a calming sense of humor. EMS normally does my tattoos and I never feel overcharged or over whelmed. From what Ive witness from other artists works on my friends, Thorns and Jake Miller are also talented. I would recommend this place to anyone. Keep in mind, my experience is with the tattoo artists only. I have never received a piercing at Ink Assassins.

Great artists, ive had some wonderful work done here!

Worst first experience I could be asked for. Not even sure of the name of the guy because I was never told. Dug up my arm so bad it was bleeding for 12 hours while my friend (who got the same tattoo in the same place by a different guy, who was very nice) was fine shortly after. I took care of it exactly how I was told to, by the card given to me with care instructions. Lines are very crooked, its extremely faded, and some spots arent even filled in at all. For a tattoo smaller than a credit card, consisting of 2 letters, I really expected a better experience.

Matty B was awesome! I got my nose pierced today and he walked through everything and made me feel comfortable!

Jordy was professional and I felt very relaxed in an atmosphere where there isnt fake cha-cha. A place where tattoo and piercing junkies will feel right at home. Cant recommend enough!

I am not impressed with this place at all!! im actually very unhappy. the guy who did my tattoo was extremely rude and would ignore anything that we asked him. also very expensive and shouldnt be considering the fact ive taken excellent care of my tattoo following everything im supposed to do and not supposed to and part of my tattoo just completely faded off. ive had one other tattoo before done about a year ago (not at ink assasins)and it is in perfect condition , so its not even like i didnt know what to do. i will not be going here ever again or recommending to anyone.

Been coming here for my tattoos since 2011. Never had issue once and its the only place I feel comfortable getting a tattoo at.

My first tattoo at age 50,Teddy Rex was awesome, for someone being as young as he his, he is very talented. He had my idea of a tattoo drawn out in about 20 mins. I had to laugh when he said it was a classic tattoo, and when his colleague came in and said the same thing. The Customer service was fantastic, and the way they take care in every process was awesome. 5 thumbs up for this place. If i decide to get another tattoo, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!!!!Thanks again guys Job Well Done.

These guys are great. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Very professional and caring for childrens ear piercing

Mean, rude, careless... I regretted getting the tattoo the minute he was done. Tony has no emotional intelligence. Tony had no interest in discussing the details of my tattoo and/or addressing any of my questions or concerns. Lastly, I scheduled an online appointment with another person, but was told only Tony was available. I strongly recommend that NOBODY wastes their time with Tony. I truly wish I had walked out.

We went here for a nose piercing. The staff is really friendly and had us in and out in about 10 minutes. Great experience!!!!

Had a VCH done by Matty B he is fun and friendly he made me feel comfortable and did an amazing job highly recommend him Ill be going back for all my piercings

Very rude when me and my boyfriend asked for a price on a tattoo that meant something to him. He told us to go somewhere else because he aint doing it. So glad we didnt go here to get tattooed. Never.

Went there to have ears being prie everything was in sterile packages they use a needle and not the gun. So you know that the equipment was actually sterile. Ive been to other place and had my ears pierced and the used the gun and my ears got infected. This the third time for my ears. Two were by the gun and got infected.

Very organized and confident in what they do. The displayed art is awesome and the guys are easy to talk to and they help you get the look you want.

Excellent they were so friendly kind and professional ill go there everytime

I went there with my sister a couple days ago for my 18th birthday. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and they were very friendly. I had an idea of what I wanted and they helped me out alot with it and where to get it at. I highly recommended this place. They did an amazing job. Ill sure be back soon!

Too expensive for my taste and lack of body piercings

Knows what theyre doing and does it well

I’m sure they do good work. But I’m highly dissapointes in them.. I was charged 150$ to make a single line around my ankle and three small (1 1/2 inch) simple flourish designs below the single line.. wish I could post the picture, because anyone would agree I was over charged. The tattoo it only took 20 minutes! And I had made the appointment in advance! I won’t be going to them again. I have a lot of tattoos, some of which were 100$ per hour. So I know this was an overcharge. Other places will give you great quality work, for fair rates, Ink Assisns is not one of them. If you’re a local Erie-ite, you probably already know this lol I’ve never talked to a single person who had good things to say.

Quick friendly visit. Jordan was excellent with his skills.

Thorn did everytime a great job!!!

Fabulous experience..

Got my lip re-peirced and it was quick and painless.

Great service, very helpful and knowledgeable.

The guy who did my Piercing was super nice
