I Got My Nose Pierced Here 4 Months Ago And They made It easy On Me as Possible And went threw The Cleaning Process And The after care and how to change a Nose Ring And Even Asked if I wanted To see The Jewlery ......I Love this Place we Bassically Go there 1 or 2 times a month to go back and get a piercing,the Shop Is Very clean And Sanitery The Guy changed his Gloves about 3 or 4 times through the Process and washed his hands each time with soap and water to make it Clean and Safe As Possible ,I love this Place I would recommend this shop for anyone.
Awsome work!
AMAZING! Extremely professional. Clean. Friendly. I was well informed about the piercing, process, after care and healing. Highly recommend! I will be coming back for all my piercings!
chill vibe, fantastic quality, fun signage, affordable pricing. highly recommend for anyone 18+ who isn't noticably messed up - respect gets respect. integrity, quality, &again chill vibes.
I got a piercing with a girlfriend of mine at this place and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Sterile and professional. I’ll be coming back soon.
I drive approx 1hr to come here and am never disappointed!!
I've been coming here since they first opened. I love how this shop has evolved through the years. I make sure everyone I know goes to Bert (the owner)
They are very unprofessional and rude here. Wouldn’t waste my time ever going there again.
Best prices around! I always get pierced with their titanium and I have had a single issue.
Great place! Very clean and professional! Love my new tattoo. Thank you!!
Best jewelry selection around. If they dont have something you're looking for, ask. I've had them order me jewelry and they also have a lot that isnt in the display cases.
Not a good place to go, me and my husband was visiting and stopped in to check things out, not a good idea, the guy was very rude I just wanted a tattoo on my leg something small and maybe a new tongue ring but he was very pushy and demanding of my choice, we had to walk away from that situation, I can’t stand people like that
I've been here many times and it's always fantastic! Everyone is very friendly and helpful with any question you may have. I would recommend them to any and everyone!
Amazing services & beautiful art work!!!
I love Bert and Misty. Not only do they have great prices, but are good people and they follow protocol! Couldn't ask for a more reasonable fun place!!!
Really cool people, will definitely be returning!
I would personally not go anywhere else! I had a piercing that was messed up by another shop and Bert fixed me right up!!!
I have 13 piercings and almost all of them were done here. Highly recommend, they're always so helpful and kind! Always willing to work with you on the after care process even months later. Can't wait for my next piercing!
My second tattoo, the guys did a custom design with great detail!
Hand down one of the most professional and curteous, well mannered establishments ive ever been to. Have been there several times and plan on going back many more.
Never a bad experience!
These guys ROCK! This was my second tattoo in over 20 years and they by far exceeded my expectations. Bryan, my artist, was helpful, accommodating, kind, and patient. He was very informative and made sure I was comfortable and felt at ease. Pat is a sweet guy who really made my visit a pleasure. The shop is clean, well-organized, efficient, aware of health and safety requirements, and their work is amazing. They do piercings too and also adhere to all the strict health requirements and restrictions as demanded by the State. Their prices are very reasonable and they take as much time as you need in order to make sure you are 100% satisfied with their work. They offer a one-year guarantee on their tattoos and will fix any work that you might not be happy with for free at any time in that first year. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a great place for their next tattoo or piercing!
I have gotten 2 of my tattoos and all of my piercings here. Coming from someone who has had bad experiences in other shops, I will never go anywhere else. You can tell that Bert knows what he is doing and has a passion for his job.
I got my ear pierced here a month back. I’m very happy with the outcome. Over all my experience here was great.
Bert does great work and is very clean! He is the only one who does anything on me now!
Best tattoo shop around hands down!! Ive been coming here for years and recommend this shop to all of my friends.
The dude needs to chill out. Ridiculously rude for absolutely no reason. Edit: I didn’t come with a group of friends and I wasn’t drinking or under the influence of anything else. Your thinking of someone else. My sister got her nose pierced and you insisted she wasn’t listening as she was trying to take into consideration the fact that she has sensitive skin. If we were rude and we’re acrually trying to be rude, we’d own it. This time we both had absolutely no idea why you acted as unprofessional as you did. You didn’t even explain the care instructions as you just assumed we didn’t want to hear them. Even though she really did. Oh and remember common courtesy goes a long way in these situations. That means BOTH ways.
i got a piercing here less than a week ago and it’s a pretty good piercing for the amount of money i paid except for the bar maybe being a bit too short, however the piercer’s “customer service” made me incredibly uncomfortable. i make it a habit to get to know my piercers/tattoo artists prior to them performing their work on me because it helps me build a good foundation of trust with them, and this includes asking questions on their history and process. this piercer was unfoundedly defensive when i politely questioned him on some things he told me that were different from what my other piercer tells me, simply because i was curious about his process and knowledge. he boasted 20 years of experience but level of experience will never trump making sure your customers are comfortable in your shop and i was not, and i am not typically someone who is made uncomfortable easily. i almost jumped out of the chair and refused the piercing when he very rudely confronted me on “making him explain himself to me.” professionals should always be open and accepting to questions, no matter how long they’ve been in their practice. i won’t be going back here, instead i’ll continue to go back to my preferred piercer who is more than happy to educate his customers. cheap work is nice, sure, but i will gladly pay extra for kind service
I've had all my piercings done here. I refuse to go anywhere else. The owner is not rude and has made me feel comfortable and happy every time I go in!!
I was really happy that the guy who re-pierced my tongue moved it up so it wasn't hurting. Would give 5 starts but it was still a bit sideways crooked.. not sure if it wasn't lined right or old piercing our tongue weird but I will definitely be going back and loved the hospitality!!!
Really great people, and great price. Never had a tattoo there but many piercings. Some people complain of infection like any other place but thats not the piercer thats people not taking care of themselves. They use clean needles fresh out of the package and sterilized jewlery every time not once have i been dissatisfied. I will be going back with friends i recomend it.
Very clean and fairly priced. Bert does amazing work.
I love this shop!! Bert does great work and explains everything to me!
Between my family and I, we used to get a LOT of tattoos from here. Since the good tattoo artists left, this place has dropped its standards. The customer service this place gives is AWFUL! One incident, they had me drive an hour and a half for my tattoo APPOINTMENT to decline me because he wasn't prepared for the workload. This time I provided a simple drawing and they stated I would have to drive an hour and a half to make a deposit, just to come in another day to get it done. when I explained the bullshit I have already gone through with them, they said I could go somewhere else with a
Cute and simple
Got my nose pierced a year ago it was amaazing for only 10 dollars and i might go back with friends to get are toungeeee
I received all my piercings from here, the owner is very professional and helpful in every way. Anytime I had an issue with a piercing or just questions he helped at no additional cost. You can tell he really cares and is genuine about his work. Go here if you can!
Felt very pushed off by the staff. Even when my piercing got infected it was just them telling me that is was all my fault. We not very good at answering my questions for my different piercings and concerns. But they are cheep so that is a plus.
Always loved getting piercings there but totally forgot do they take credit cards or just cash?
Great people, great place. Straight forward. No BS and they won’t rip you off. Great place to get a tattoo or piercing!
THIS GUY IS A TOTALLY MEAN PERSON HES VERY RUDE BRUSHES YOU OFF AND CUSSES AT PEOPLE A LOT NON PROFESSIONAL. I WILL NEVER RETURN NOR MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY , GARBAGE PLACE
I love this place! Went in with a friend she got 2 cartilage piercings and I got a eyebrow piercing. The guy was super nice and is really awesome! I'm recommending this place to all my friends and actually taking one of them there today for an industrial. Can't wait to go get more from here! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Best tattoo parlor in the area!!!
Bad service owner refused to service me and my friends after the piercing my friend had kept falling out. Doesn't recommend. Pay the regular price else where.
I loved this place! My sisters and I came here for matching tattoos about a month ago. I messaged the parlor ahead of time letting him know what we wanted and when we were coming- when we walked in, he already had our design ready for us to look at. We also got a discount for all getting the same thing on the same day. Also, our artist was extremely patient with us, especially as my one sister had never gotten a tattoo before. He also did a great job! I will definitely be coming here again!
Felt extremely comfortable as soon as i walked in the door! Very awesome shop with amazing owner's!
This shop is AWESOME. I've had nothing but fantastic experiences here, and all of the work he's done has been phenomenal. Highly recommend coming to Manipulations.
This place is awesome place
Great place to go
Bert did an amazing job on both my tattoo and my piercing. It was the most professional experience i have had with an artist. <3
I was in this shop yesterday when a group came in after drinking and the owner had to ask them to leave. He was very patient with them. And I see now that they left him a 1 star review. Personally that situation makes me question the validity of any of the negative reviews found here. While I was there another group came in for piercing and were handled with the utmost level of professionalism. I will be returning and recommending Bert to all my friends and family.
High quality ink at very affordable prices. I would highly recommend this shop. Will be returning for more ink ASAP thanks again for the awesome work and experience!
The prices and the guys are great...can t wait to go Saturday
By far the best shop I've gone to, and I've been to most of the shops in this area. Bert (the owner/piercer/tattoo artist) has been a 1 man shop for as long as I've known and he obviously puts his heart and soul into the business. He takes extra steps to not only make me (and my friends) feel comfortable but also to ensure the cleanliness of every piercing and tattoo.
Got a daith piercing at this place yesterday. Great price and great service. Everything was explained in detail to me (procedure and after care). It’s not even sore today- best experience with a piercing that I’ve had. Highly recommend, and I’m going to let other friends know to go there, even though we aren’t from around that area. The travel is worth it.
