Josh did an amazing job! He was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. He really took the time to make sure the design and placement were exactly what I wanted, and his attention to detail was excellent. The tattoo came out even better than I expected. You can tell Josh takes a lot of pride in his work. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented tattoo artist, and I’ll absolutely be coming back for my next one!

This place is very professional! They have very talented with their tattoos and do amazing work. The piercings are done quickly and come out amazing. You can readjust how many times you would like with no complaint. Steph did my eyebrow piercing and it was such a painless process and it came out amazing. They are such nice people.

Had a wonderful first tattoo experience with Stephanie at Bad Decisions. She helped me finalize the design and walked me through the process before we began. Her lines and shading are top notch. Also had some help from the owner with an earlier idea that eventually morphed into my final tattoo. Service was great, the store is clean, and it was an all-around lovely time. Would highly recommend, especially for first timers.

Went as a walk-in to get my jewelry replaced for surgery, so I was only there for 15-30 minutes and yet I still had the most amazing experience ever. The staff was the NICEST EVER. My mom and I were astonished at the vibe and atmosphere of the shop, felt like an actual piercer / tattoo shop, nowadays we don’t get that feeling at other shops. Stephanie is THAT girl, her vibe and energy was just so relaxing and refreshing. In the time span of when I was there, it felt like I’ve known her for months, that’s how comfortable I felt with her. Most definitely one of the best experiences I had at a piercing and tattoo shop that’s around my local area. 10/10 would recommend and WILL be going back!

Went as a walk-in to get my daughter’s nostril pierced, liked it so much I ended up getting my septum done as well. The artist (man with a beard, septum pierced, lip pierced... I'm terrible with names since birth and the business card I took is for the business) was super chill, explained the pros/cons of different jewelry types and piercing locations to my teen. He was great at providing directions and repeating as necessary. He was OK with my daughter FaceTimeing her friend during hers, and even adjusted his approach to accommodate her phone without a hint of frustration. After she got hers done, I looked at the jewelry again and ended up with a "eff it, why not" approach to my own and he just rolled with it. To be clear though, this is not my first professional piercing, but I think it was the best experience I've had in a total now of 3 different states over about 20 years. All of that by itself is reason enough to go back in my opinion. But, what we didn't exactly tell him is that my nephew, my daughter's closest cousin, took his life a few days before and these were memorials to him, in a way. In summary,m - walking into a shop unannounced, during a time of immense grief, not exactly sharing what happened or why were were doing this, goofing off a bit, changing plans, and then having a professional there treat us well and not be judgemental... without even knowing what we are struggling with... was huge. We appreciated it and will return there for future work.
