Walked in and got a tattoo done with my boyfriend only took about 2 hours and the work turned out amazing! Not only do they know what their doing there, but they also have GREAT customers service and will work with you on price, DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

I purchased a product from this store and when I got it to my hotel it worked for an hour. I tried to exchange it for a product that worked. I was told that it was not likely, they would have to get a message from the owner and that there was no way to speak to the manager/owner. The man acted like he didn’t want to help resolve this issue. Just not good customer service here in lieu of a defective product. They don’t stand buy what they sell apparently. Not a good experience to have while on vacation. They took my money and offered no resolution. Ive been waiting for 5 hours so I’ve decided to go elsewhere as I don’t feel comfortable spending money here any longer as a result of this.

Ive had three tattoos here and they have all been on point. Just had my hands done with freehand cursive... really good work.Les, chubbs, calexo... all good artists with lots of good work under their belt.

Would give zero stars if I could. Took payment before even having a tattoo artist on site—-without being informed they were not onsite. Told it would 20 min—-an hour later, nothing. No refunds. No artist. They can take the reservation, they just can’t keep the reservation. Manager was lazy, rude, abusive, and insulting. Avoid at all costs. Services not rendered. Scam and a fraud.

Says hours are 12-2. I walked here just to find a padlock on the door and no employees inside, only a ladder.

Hours are never current, they often say they’re open and no one is there. Also are usually rude. Don’t mind coming here because it’s convenient but not great service, and I’ve never actually there

Matt is the best man at this store. He opened the store after it was closed. I have been to several smoke shops and this is my favorite spot. Best store hands down. Ask for Matt he will take care if you.

I went here back in February 2017 and I’ve had a lot of tattoos done since then, so let me tell you about these guys. I was 22 when I got a simple tattoo done with about 7 other of my friends. All the tattoos were identical and extremely simple (being 3 two-inch, black lines, about 1/2” thick), so every single artist in the shop contributed to doing the tattoo on my friends as well so it would be efficient.Well, I woke up today and finally realized, man, I should write a review about this place since they screwed up my tattoo so bad and I have these beautifully done tattoos now.To begin, the guy that tattooed me (I forget what his name was), put the purple outline on my arm. He said he didn’t like the placement of the first outline, so he adjusted it about 1/4” away (and angled) from the previous outline, with a second outline. Yeah, he didn’t wash off the initial outline. He then proceeded with the first line, and says “Oh no.” He then says that he started it out by tattooing the first, incorrect outline, instead of the second one. Okay dude.So then he says, “I’ll correct it by going over the line with brown ink.” Yeah dudeguy okay. He says it’ll just blend right into my skin. I have a white to tan skin color. He continues on with the tattoo and well, he screwed up my tattoo bad. The lines aren’t filled in to be completely straight, and the edges aren’t straight. Let alone when it healed, the blacks were very splotchy, and yes, I can see a wrong black line with a thick brown outline over it. He then expected a tip, saying he’s won countless tattoo competitions. Yeah alright buddy. I said nah.All of my friends tattoos were also screwed up in a minor way. Being not filled in enough, breaks in a straight line, etc. i just happened to get the worst version of the tattoo.So yeah, it’s a funny experience because I got to do this with friends and it’s hilarious how bad they all screwed up. Be wary, maritime.Response to Owner Edit:Dude, take the review and not whine about it like with every other person that gives you a bad review, and then try to insult them with petty comebacks. It speaks a lot about your business when you do that.Also I probably don’t remember if it was every tattoo artist in the shop that day. I just know it was 3 artists. That’s my bad, I’m sorry. I rescind any implication to not give you any business at all. That’s not fair at all, I’m just giving a review of my experience.

Matt did an amazing job on my tattoo , highly recommend, walked around to atleast 8 different places and finally decided to come back here glad I did. I spent close to 3 hours in the chair for my first tatt and couldnt be any happier, very patient and skilled artist. Showed him a picture of the beach theme I wanted, (he looked at it once) and he drew it free hand, also including his one personal touches and came out better than what I showed him. What really made me come back here is out of all the shops I went to, he overherd me talking to one of the other artists there and he saw the picture and was really interested in doing the piece and made me feel very comfortable in doing it won my trust to come back, very happy I came back. Very skilled and passionate about his career, thanks again matt

Unreal, we paid over $100 for 2 piercings with a party of 4 and they would not let one member of our party use their facility for the bathroom.The lady “Lucy” demanded $5 for him using the bathroom and follows us outside to fight us for using the bathroom. The Piercing also did not go well and was done in the wrong spot and not done properly. I will not return to put the new studs in rather I will go to another spot. Very unprofessional. They did not even use real jewelry for the piercing and ended up taking it out later the same night. Spend money somewhere else where you will be appreciated as a customer because they do not value the people that spend money with them.

I highly recommend this shop, good prices, chill atmosphere and awesome staff. Bryan is a hilarious/goofy dude with an awesome personality and makes sure that youre comfortable. I had an excellent experience here and will be coming back.

Not that i’ve gotten (a) tattoo/piercing/vape supplies here but i was standing outside,, and i saw what i would say was one of the employees (she was standing around and going in and out of the shop, talking to other employees) flashing a small group. Yes, that type of flashing. Extremely low class and i wouldn’t trust them making a permanent mark on my body.

I rarely leave 1 star reviews and fully support quality businesses in Fort Lauderdale but this place has been repeatedly bad. Customer service is horrible, the people who work there make it seem like an inconvenience that youre there and every time I have gotten a portable e-cig or juice from there it has been absolutely horrendous and I never have these problems with tobacco shops...I do NOT recommend buying anything vape related here.

Im not sure if they thought I was drunk or just thought I am currently stupid but this tattoo, that Ruben did, that they charged me $75 for is a disgrace of tattooistry all around. Let me tell you something, I only have 6 tattoos but I hang around shops a lot considering I have some close friends in the field. When I ask to get a tattoo done, that is the size of a quarter, I expect there to be NO VISIBLE FLAWS. So at first they wanted to charge me $65 for my basic, solid colored semicolon and I accepted. I felt it was overpriced already. But I had asked that he does something, like add depth and a 3-D look because I wanted to make it look different. They obliged and charged me $10 extra, so the total was now $75. The best part is that after he finished the main piece, Ruben tried telling me I was done, as if I didnt pay an extra $10 and request on 2 separate occasions that I wanted a 3-D shading element. After I called him out on it, he acted surprised as if he was doing me a favor. While Ruben was finishing up, I looked over at the girl I was with and shook my head no because she actually thought about getting one after me, but wanted to see how it turned out. Thank god I was the test subject. The line work is horrible. The shading is horrible. The pricing was horrible. When all was said and done it legitimately looked as if I got this piece done by some random guy with 2 months of experience in the back alley of his parents condo. Ruben is a nice guy though. But his professionalism, or lack thereof apparent from his trade would force me to never visit this place again. Ill now have to spend however much money on a cover-up.

PJ is rude and easily offended. He sold me a nose ring and when I asked him to put it in, he had some woman try to put it in. 15+ minutes later and a pair of the shakiest hands later, she was unable to put it in. My sister had to come behind the counter and do it for me. Don’t recommend. Didn’t feel safe.

Review №38

If I could give this shop zero stars I would. Terrible service. I had the worst tattoo Ive ever seen done by this shop. When I was finished, I told the owner that I was not at all satisfied by the work. The tattoo was small, about the size of a quarter, totally uneven, lines didnt match up and half was much darker than the other half. I talked to the artist and he said well its like that because I couldnt see from the stencil. And I did half of it grey just in case it was right. This made absolutely zero sense to me. You did one image half black and half grey in case it wasnt right? They then asked me to sit back down in the chair so he could redo it. After I refused they told me I was being unreasonable. The tattoo is just BAD and I will be lucky to get it fixed. Not to mention the artist was cocky and rude from the get go. I would ask questions to ensure that it was what I was going to like and his response was sweetie I know what Im doingand once he was finished Well would you look at that I actually know how to do something right while throwing his hands in the air.. Now I am left 70 dollars poorer with a terrible tattoo that I will need to get redone. A week later the tattoo is infected and will most likely be a scar in the end. My dad, who got something a bit larger, is also going to need to get his redone. There were boxes of used needles sitting on stations and on the floor, the hazardous waste garbage was left wide open right in between the two artists tattooing. I even saw this artist wipe with his rag, squeeze it over this hazardous waste garbage and then wipe the tattood skin with the same rag. This place is just a mess. Who is doing the health code checks around here?I expected nothing less than a passive aggressive, defensive story in response from this group of people. I just hope to save the next people some trouble.

Update: ownership responded and accused me of hitting on the woman.. well, Im gay and married so, no.-------------------------------------The woman working the counter was clearly not very sober, and it took me scouring the glass display myself to find what I needed.
