Diana Humphrey

Awesome my daughter is very happy

Scot Morin

What a great experience. I was traveling through on business and called to see if they could fit me in. The receptionist was super friendly, even helping one lady who didn't understand the whole process of getting inked, Adam was easy to work with and improved upon my original concept. Several repeat customers came in while I was there which told me that I made the right choice.

Rachel Eberle

Jonny V does some of the most amazing work ever! Crystal is pretty amazing shop manager! Would highly recommend this tattoo shop to anyone

Amber Nelson

Amazing group of people and great work

Sharon Kaminski

Great people. Their tattoos are great. I'll be back for another tat. However, my 2 ear piercings were not put where I wanted. I enclosed 3 pictures. One of my ear and pictures I showed to the ladies at front desk of where I wanted the piercings located but they were not where I wanted them.

Cheyenne Davey

Just got my nose done. The guy, Adam, was friendly and kind to both my sister and me. Even dealt with my sister squirming and being difficult. She also got her nose done. Pretty quick. Clean as heck. Loved it.

Autumn Ronco

I absolutely love ASG when I turned 18 and decided to get snakebites done like I’d always wanted I was really nervous but the staff primarily Adam made the experience very easy and relatively painless wonderful crew and great environment highly recommend

Tricia Reid

WOW! Johnny is awesome and very professional. He took an old tattoo and put a new spin on it. He made me feel extremely comfortable and calm. I was a walk-in just to see what Johnny could do with it. I loved what we talk about so much that I asked if we could do it same day. My husband used Johnny in the past for a sleeve piece and my husband was blown away by his talent. I really appericate Johnny's kindness and professionalism. The office staff made sure the correct and right forms were filled out. Johnny is a true artist and ASG made me a customer for life.

EDIT: I went back to support a friend and not only did they loudly confront me about this review, but they also spent the entire time talking about my review to my friend instead of focusing on her piercing. She is a minor and they used the f-word multiple times while talking to her. The professional thing to do after a bad review is to try and rectify the situation. As another reviewer said, very unprofessional and not how to run a business. Save your money and time, go to Unity. My initial piercing by Adam was a good experience. I really liked him and was happy with my piercing. However, when I had my jewelry changed by Johnny, it was painful and confusing. My piercing immediately became infected and irritated. I went to Unity to get titanium put in and they told me that he had ripped the hole, causing the jewelry to start migrating out of my ear. They removed it free of charge. I bought two earrings from ASG and just tried to return one since I can't wear it anymore. The receptionist just said "No returns!" And didn't even ask why I was returning. It was still in the original packaging, the least they can do it refund me and throw it out. Terrible customer service and very unprofessional work. You will be amazed at how much better Unity is.

When my mom and sister got their nose and my brother and I got our septum he was so funny and I am really happy I went there because I had a very good experience.

Braelyn Marie Molenda

I do not recommend going here. I went in with a friend to get our nipples pierced. The whole time I was in there the talked badly about the other piercing places in the area including the one that had done all my other tattoos and piercings (Unity Studio). The receptionist was very rude and was on her phone a lot. When mine were done he did a freehand piercing (no marking) without tools (clamps) and had me sitting up (versus laying down). The piercings ended up being very crooked. I returned to get my money back in which I was disrespected, yelled at and treated like I had no knowledge of what they did wrong when I had gotten multiple professional insights. They had offered to put another hole in the one that was crooked which would have been detrimental to the healing process which I refused to do. Thankfully I was able to get my money back since I was not keeping the piercings in and would have to take them out and get them re done. After my encounter with the owner, one of the employees then contacted me unprofessionally and accused me of yelling at the owner and and being a child (neither of which I did) and cussed at me and called me profane names. I will never return here and I do not recommend anyone else to either. Go to Unity Studio. Much better service, better jewelry better work and nicer people.

Went in today for a coverup, and got a Harry potter sorting hat. I'm so excited I LOVE IT! Adam did such a great job. He made me feel comfortable and he's a funny guy. The shop is so clean, even the bathrooms. Will definitely be seeing Adam again, for more work. Thanks:)

Susan Jones

Great place and great artists

Mauro Gonzalez III

Very clean & respectable place. Took my daughter there to get her nose pierced.

Geneva Wolfe

Johnny is awesome! Love his work.

Sherry Syverson

JOJO IS AMAZING!!!! This place is AMAZING! The staff makes you feel right at home. JoJo's work is off the chain. She's very professional and doesn't like to rush her work. I will never go anywhere else!!!!

colby morgan

Fantastic work definately going to be getting my ink there from now on thanks johnny

Tim Whiteside

Went with my girlfriend to get her tattoo and had an appointment 11:30 and had to wait over 40 mins to an hour just to get it.

Sonia Sanchez

I suffer from frequent migraines so I decided to get my daith pierced and I had an amazing experience. I’m afraid of needles and Adam did an amazing job keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable! Since getting my piercing I haven’t had a migraine! I’m very pleased with the piercing and it is healing up nicely.

Catherine Roland

I've received several piercings here. There is usually a little bit of a wait but it's worth it. Fair pricing and a knowledgeable piercer!

kyle faught

very helpful very clean the tattoo of the piercing artist was very nice and he gave me a lot of information on stuff that I needed to do

Breanna Dillard

Went there to get my nose done today. Walked in it was very nice and they were very welcoming❤. The place was nice and clean! I signed in around 145 and was in and out by 225 . It was very nice and very quick and the lady who did my piercing was very nice and gentle definitely coming here for all of my piercings!

Virginia Christine Davis

This guy knows what he's doing!

Gregg V

Great Artists, Service Merchandise, Professionalism & Prices!

Erin Bartolo

They have very nice people their that makes you feel very welcome very clean place

Krissy Matushek

Have gone twice to piercing side to purchase 4 new dermal to have put in, both times by Adam. N both times they have fallen out with in a few days to a week and this last time which was today, June 7, 2019 my top dermal fell out n was lost within 2 hours. And they will only fix their mistake if iI is back thre same night, which is a little hard for me being a mom, full time college student, n should not have to come back at all! Especially on same day. N which ever girl I talked to put me on hold right in the middle of me saying something, so that was rude af. Now i just want them to fix get another one of their mistakes and I will never go there again.

I’ve been to this shop several times for a few different piercings and consultations. I’ve had experiences with two different piercers, and I am just going to say this- if you’re going to get a piercing, have Adam do it. He’s very kind and jokes around a lot which is nice for when you have a problem with needles (like I do). When my navel piercing was in the wrong place and crooked from my first experience there, he repierced it free of charge and just how I wanted it originally. The receptionists are always friendly, and I never really have that long of a wait. You definitely cannot beat the prices either. Overall, I would rate it a 5/5 thanks to Adams solution to my first problem.

Dustin Wolford

Was a fun experience. Had piercings done instead of ink this time. Very classy and professional and I will be going here for future projects.

P Williams

Awesome staff. Jojo rocks as a person and as an artist.

Amanda Rickard

I love it here! I highly recomend this studio!

Katie Jo

Went in for a piercing and the wait time wasn't too bad. Nice friendly guy you can tell he is very experienced. Made it a breeze

AJ Williams

The tattoo I wanted was simple, but the tattoo I received looks like a cartoon sketch done by a child. Several lines are nowhere near symmetrical and the few details in the design were carelessly tattooed. I'm not happy at all with this tattoo. The fact that I'm already trying to figure out a way to cover it up speaks volumes. I recommend going elsewhere.

Shane ford

Fantastic artists! Amazing piercers!! All around amazing staff!!!

Lloyd Fleming

Love this shop! They are very professional with the process. I am very happy with my tattoo which was done by Joshua...he explained what he was going to do and listened to what I wanted. The end result was awesome. I recommend this shop...because I'm definitely going back for another tattoo.

Sam B

Christina and the entire staff are very welcoming, fun and most importantly, willing to LISTEN. I've been to other artists and, while I respect their Art, Christina was the only one who asked me what I wanted, rather than telling me what she could do for me. In the end, it allowed me to trust Christina to work her magic. She was able to interpret my desires, design a piece that speaks to me on such a deep level and then placed her art on my body. I have another appointment to finish my piece, and honestly can't wait! From the moment you step in with an idea, through the initial free consultation, and finally from concept to reality, the entire staff works to set you at ease, meets you at your level and, again, LISTENS. Sure, look around, bit in the end you will end up back at A.S.G Ink!

got two piercings on my nose and they did a great job and gave me aftercare

Nikole Mendoza

We arrived at 8:45 on a Saturday when the hours clearly say 9pm. The woman working attempted to lock the door on us. While walking away she told us she didn't have a piercer. This business lost a lot of money tonight.

Jessica

Fair price. Clean. Professional. I'm glad I went. Thanks Adam!

Rebecca Faught

Adam done my double nose piercing and helped with an issue I had with my dermal. Very friendly! Be going back!!!!

Amber Mote

Absolutly the best most friendly shop in the area. Went in for spur of the moment piercings and Andy was a delight. Very reasonable prices and super friendly staff

Jay n Jenn Rogers

So my intentions were go bring my daughter in for a naval piercing, I've decided that after reading all the reviews that this is most definitely not the place. While it appears that Adam is a great tattoo artist and apparently great at piercing, I have had the say tattoo guy for well over 14 years drill into my head that you never ever allow someone who is doing tattoos that fay pierce you as well as never allow someone who is doing piercing that day to tattoo you. Definitely not how I want my child to start this journey with cross contamination!

Randy Schrag

Great place. Ask for Adam.

Jess Paige

I’d give no stars if I could. I’m never going to asg again. I’ve gotten multiple piercings done at unity studio and never had a issue but i went to asg for a industrial piercing and help putting in some jewelry on existing piercings and everything got infected. My whole ear for the industrial is infected and I had to go get heavy antibiotics. Not to mention my existing piercings got super irritated and slightly infected. Clearly they do not sterilize things correctly. Do not go there.

Rebecca Lemanski

Very nice staff, clean, great price for my daughter's nose piercing. They extremely careful to make sure parental permission and ID were legitimate.

Adam Gessler

Love this place.I proposed to my fiance here and then we both got tattooed. Super friendly service, reasonable rates, and great tattoos. Plus they have a new piercing studio as well.

Copper Bullet

Highly recommend. Clean, friendly, professional and talented artists and staff.

Chad Wade

Was recently there yesterday for a tat appointment had an American flag with an eagle in the background and gotta say, bada** lookin, within an hour he had the whole thing almost done. I'm still lookin at it like he just finished it. The artist made it look even better than in the original pic. Highly recommend here, awesome job Johnny!!

JULIE NASSERJAH

Just had three tattoos done by Johnny. Then came to Adam for my piercing. Decided today after not seeing my daughter for two years that we were gonna get tattoos together. With as much as I have just had done and the fact I brought in my daughter as a new client. I wanted a small semi colon and Johnny would not give me a deal. He wanted to charge me the shops minimum of $50. Umm. No. $50 for two dots. But then you charge my daughter $50 for a big saying. But a couple days ago he charged me $15 for an arrow tattoo. But today it was $50. I will be back for my touch ups but I am done with you all as far as tattoos go.

Karen Reid

Family get together place.....Awesome Job!!!

Courtney Toth

I loved the feel of that place. Adam was the one who did mine and my best friend's tattoo and he was super nice and answered all of our questions. I didn't feel like he was getting annoyed by our questions. One part of my tattoo was taking to my skin because of the color and Adam gave us 3 months to go back and refix it without a charge! Definitely will come back for my next one :) I would highly recommend them to anyone getting a tattoo done.

Brooke Spradlin

Christina did an amazing job on the tattoo for my grandmother. Everyone is clear when explaining things to you and very professional. The place is clean and comfortable. I will 100% be going back, and recommend this tattoo shop to all my friends.

April Marie

I love Christina so much. She is kind, patient, and is an amazing artist. We just completed my 6th piece and the originals she's created are so spot on and amazing it is like she drew what was in my mind. I get compliments almost daily on her work. We have 3 more pieces scheduled and I'll never trust another artist with my ink. And if that wasn't enough, the manager Crystal treats you like you're an old friend and remembers your name even if you haven't walked in the door in 6 months. No matter how busy she is, Crystal takes the time to treat you as if you're the only one in the shop. I love ASG and highly recommend them.

niki vand

Awesome artist's awesome prices. They do almost any custom piericeing. Very friendly and professional.. I love this place.❤

Autumn Towner

I’ve gotten a tattoo from Jojo and a piercing at asg and both were really good experiences. Jojo is extremely light on the needle and the tattoo still looks amazing months later.

Kaeleigh Graham

On a whim I walked into the shop wanting a piercing. I was welcomed in by the front desk girls. Very sweet and professional! I had the privilege of having Johnny piercing my septum. He was very professional and explained everything before he even started. During the process I passed out twice haha, I feel bad but he assured me it was completely normal. (Or was trying to make me feel better) Either way, he did an amazing job! I will definitely be coming back to see him for any future piercings or tattoos. It's a great atmosphere, good prices, professional, and just feels comfy. Like home. Thanks y'all!

Michele Jurov

Amazing service so friendly got my Monroe re pierced and he did perfect so professional. Its still not even swollen. Absolutely getting my next tattoo here as well

Bria Thomas

I just went to ASG for piercings and i had a great experience! Jess was absolutely amazing! She made me and my friends, who were also all getting piercings, feel so comfortable! I highly recommend ASG Ink!

jamie lawson

Very friendly staff. Work well with your schedule. Takes time to find exactly what you want. Offers great after care advice and products. Can usually get you on straight away for piercings...at least most, in my experience. Answers any questions you may have.

Sherey Shoble

What a super shop... friendly, informative, great place .. got a toe tattoo was AWESOME from Adam...Office Girl Crystal super helpful... going soon for more

Christina White

Love this place they take care of me with my dermals very friendly and clean. Also had a great experience with my tattoos there.

Tina Webb

Adam pierced my 6yr old daughter's ears. She was thrilled until the first ear was done. Adam was patient and helped to distract her and make her feel better. He did 2nd holes for my mom and me. He was quick, and as gentle as possible. Clean environment. Welcoming staff. Will use for any future piercings or tattoos.

Marissa Workman

Christina is the best!! Got tattoos with my bestfriend and she made it a fun experience with her great work and personality! We’ll both be back

Anonymous

My wife and I were walk in's with a general idea of tattoos that we wanted to get. We had a very positive experience and Adam made time to fit us into his already busy schedule. He was very patient and took the time to draw up our ideas and work through them with us. Since it was our first tattoos, the staff were very educational on what to expect and how to care for the tattoos. Adam ended up having to stay late just to fit us in, but was happy to do so. One week later, our tattoos are looking great and healing up much better than what internet research had shown as the expected norm. Will definitely come back here again and recommend to friends.

McKenzi Marie

I have never been to a place like this before. But damn! Best place EVER to get piercings. Haven't gotten a tattoo yet here, but Adam was awesome! I'll be coming back here for sure. Awesome prices, clean!

Krystine Foreman

Johnny has done all my tattoos and Adam has done all my piercings and they're great people and I've had no problems with anything

Jewel Hernandez

I went to A.S.G. Ink to get my nose pierced. Adam did my piercing. He was very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend my friends to go here.

Kyle Beam

Went in as a walk in to get a nose piercing changed as I had lost the captive ball to my other one. Receptionist was really helpful in finding a piercing that was the right gauge and that I liked, the piercer was super welcoming and made the change a breeze, would go back again in a heartbeat.

Cassandra Kormendy

I went here after having a bad experience with Umbrella Tattoo. I am so glad I did! Adam is amazing! He's so nice and friendly. He really just sat and talked about what I wanted with me. The place is super clean and great atmosphere. He did a killer job too! I would recommend this place to everyone!

Sarah Bach

I got 2 helix piercings in each ear. The first ear turned out fine. However, the piercings on the second ear are placed much higher and are crooked so they appear to be right next to each other from the front (The piercings make a V through my ear, first 2 pics idk if they uploaded). Now I have to go somewhere else to get another piercing to correct it. I'm so mad, half of this was a waste of money and pain, oh the pain.

Flawed IRONy

Christina is phenomenal, the entire shop is nothing short of great people, all of whom are at the very pinnacle of their chosen craft.. There may be other artists in Valparaiso, but from my experience, A.S.G. Ink just feels like home from the first moment you walk in. The entire staff take active interest in making sure you receive exactly what you desire. When you come back (and you will) they remember who you are, which is a great thing. Truly a one stop shop, their aftercare line of products are top of the line, their clothing and accessories are very fairly prices, and they offer rechargable gift certificates, what more could you want? Piercings? Yup, they have that too! You can spend your time looking at the rest, but I firmly believe you will end up at A.S.G. Ink!

Katelyn King

Got my nose and Tragus pierced today! Adam was great in telling me exactly how it felt and why I shouldn't be worried. Everyone in here is super friendly and funny. Both piercings and a pair of regular earrings only cost me $43! I love this place and if I ever decide to get another piercing I'll come here!

Stephanie S

The artist I spoke with, Christina, was both friendly and informative, and I don't feel rushed in deciding on a tattoo.

Mike Arwood

Great staff adam dose a good job
