Shamika Goode

So far I've received 3 tattoos from Pete and he is the best. His work is phenomenal. He's like the coolest tattooist I've ever met. I will never go to a different tattoo shop. Will definitely recommend any and every one to go to BDC Tattoo.

First off, this review if for the piercing aspect of the shop. I've never been tattooed so I can only speak about the piercer and my experience with him. I have had countless peircings over the years, so I really just went in for a repierce. I've been pierced by many different people at many different shops so I feel like i'm giving a reliable review. First, I will start with my piercing experience itself, then I will talk about my experience with the employees, then I will end with price. 1.) So I must say, this is the most painful piercing i've ever gotten. I have had my right nostril pierced before, and the first time it just felt like a pinch and didn't hurt at all. The needle hurt quite a bit but the jewelry hurt way more (it was a hoop) at BDC. My experience with nostril experiences, they should not hurt that much. Then again, i've never been given the option to get a hoop in instead of a stud. All other shops I been too require your starter jewelry be a stud because they give your nose room for swelling to help you heal better. This I liked about BDC, I don't have a problem with it but I know other piercers would. I suggest that if you think your nose would swell, pay the extra $20 and get a stud to avoid scarring. If you're like me and more experienced with getting pierced and know you won't swell, then I think its okay for you to get a hoop. Also- I don't think that my nostril was cleaned enough prior to the piercing. He did a quick two swipe with an alcohol pad and all the other shops usually swipe around my nostril many times (at least 20 seconds, this guy did 2 seconds) to ensure sanitization and to avoid infection,so I do wish he had spent a little more time cleaning the area to be pierced. 2.)I filled out the paperwork and gave them my ID and was seen within a minute. The piercer himself was very nice and seemed very happy that I am experienced in getting pierced because it made things run super smoothly. I was in and out of the shops in less than 6 minutes total. I was only with the piercer for 2 minutes and he seemed to really enjoy me being there just because I gave him no trouble. I do suggest that if you do not like his placement, please do tell him. As long as your both on the same page on placement, things will be fine. 3.) The cost of my nostril with the hoops was $45. It would've been $65 for a stud. (Idk why but I like hoops much better so...). I'm very happy with the price, where I come from in south Dakota it would be $80 to get the same thing done so its nice that its this affordable here. Overall, great pricing and clean environment. I do not reccommend to those who are nervous and are getting pierced for their first time to go here. If you are super anxious about the pain, I do not think that this will be the best place to go for your first experience. Remember to stay hydrated and if you feel like you might get nauseous coming here, make sure you come on an empty stomach.

Jess

I got a Navel piercing here and a week after the procedure my top ball begun to sink into my skin. I ask someone with many piercings and experience if this was normal. She told me the piercing was too small in the first place. I think the piercer at BDC should have known the piercing was too small and would start burrowing into the skin with such small balls (me experience person compared the jewelry to a lip piercing jewelry...). But the piercer at BDC never said anything and acted as if it would be fine Overall i wouldnt suggest going to BDC for piercings.

Dex Newsome

I'd recommend BDC to all & anyone. I personally worked with Steven, dope artist, we completed a full sleeve, about to start on another & many more to come, he's that good! Great atmosphere, even Trey, Pete, Jeremiah & Erin the receptionist, all dope people, all always make you feel welcomed! Check them out!! 10/10 for me!

Christine Damsgaard

Got my first tattoo here. It was simple, and the people were patient and willing to explain some questions I had to me which I appreciated. The tattoo looks great too!

Lindsey L

My mom, me and our friend were waiting outside at 12pm waiting for them to unlock the door, the dark haired receptionist came out and told us to hold on in a rude tone, she never greeted us and acted like we were a bother to her. We walked in but ended up leaving due to her attitude & felt un-welcome.

Carrie Anne

If you're someone in the Lawrence area that is looking for a good tattoo shop I completely recommend this place. The artist Erin was so fantastic. She was welcoming, sweet, and super funny, and the tattoo I got turned out beautiful. I will be back! :)

Zach Smith

Polyana De Melo

Front desk attendant is very unfriendlyfly but Jeremiah makes up for her. Great piercer!

Phill Becker

Great place. I went here for a tattoo and came back for a second one; that speaks for itself.

DJ Seberger

Steve is always fun. Lots of laughs while enduring a tattoo. Makes it easier to deal

John Riggs

BDC is the place to go for tattoos and piercings in Lawrence! The staff and artists are knowledgeable and friendly. The shop, located on Mass street, is clean and has a good vibe. Erin has done 3 of my tats, and I couldn't be happier with her work!

Alexis Rainbolt

Erin is amazing and always makes my skin beautiful with her artwork ❤️ I always look forward to every appointment! Very clean and I love everyone who works there! Even the front desk gal Heather!! You're amazing girl! We always have amazing chats. Love ya BDC! Until next time!!

Bam Bam Higgins

Awesome place Staff is friendly & answers your Questions

Billie Jean

Went there for a nose piercing. They allowed me to just do it as a walk in and it was done fairly quickly with a decent piercer. He didn't really go out of the way to make me feel comfortable, but he got the job done. A week later I accidentally ripped out my piercing, and they put a new one in for me. Pretty good service.

Shea Visser

Steven has done multiple of my tattoos and I've always been blown away with his work! My most recent work I've got done absolutely exceeded my expectations, I threw a bunch of different (difficult) ideas at him and his design was better that I ever imagined! If I ever move out of Lawrence I will go back everytime, this is my forever tattoo shop!

Blaine Rush

I had a great time with Steve at bdc, sent him some ideas of what I wanted he combined them all now I have a sick half sleeve.

Scott Burke

I got tattooed by Erin and she was amazing. Love the shop and plan on going back for more.

Ashley Murphy

Love their work

Kaeleen Laird

Absolute worst customer service. Told us to come on a Wednesday and we could get in, we show up and they say they didn't have time so we made an appointment for that Friday. We show up Friday and they act like they've never seen us before and then they pull up the schedule and they scheduled the wrong date and refused to work with us about it. We drove from Manhattan twice to come to this tattoo shop and they knew we were coming from mhk the whole time. I wouldn't go to this shop ever again.

Daphne Basinski

Shannon Schmitz

Chuck Leistner

Erin was very friendly. Awesome tattoo.

Jessica Williams

Had a great experience. The shop was clean and the staff were friendly and inviting. 10/10 will go there for any other piercing I want in the future. Thanks BDC!

K B

I got two facial piercings in one sitting. The piercer was really chill and knowledgeable. I was in and out pretty quickly. Didn't need an appointment. I had called prior to going in and the woman on the phone was polite and full of information. The only downside is having to park downtown.

heath morris

Spenser Adams

Cool place. Nice people. Awesome artwork.

martha knowles

Piercing guy was freaking amazing!!

Renae Lanigan

Erin Bratzler is fantastic. Absolutely worth the wait for an appointment. Won't go anywhere else.

Jeff D

Grace Hileman

Don't get pierced here! I went to get two piercings (the top and the bottom one). I asked the guy to mark my ear so I could make sure I liked the placement and he made a huge deal about it. He was very rude the whole time. He finally marked them and I approved and he went to pierce them. He didn't pierce them where he marked. They were all supposed to be evenly spaced but, as you can see by the photo, they aren't even close to that. He also shoved the needle through very slowly which caused my whole ear to bruise. I ended up having to take them out and now have to wait 3 months to go pay to get them re pierced somewhere else.

Justine Onnen

Melissa Lewis

Got 4 piercings from here and he is great!!!

Luke Fire

Beth Hanna

Great personnel, with friendly attitudes. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Great experience with getting a piercing. Having a tattoo designed, so holding back one star until I get that done.

Britney Frost

I got a beautiful tattoo my Erin. Great experience and friendly! Will be back .

Sulliver Vittles

Got a tattoo done by Pete. Absolutely love it! The chick working the front desk was rude as hell, though.

Haley Minear

Erin did my tattoo and she was AWESOME! Great to chat with as a distraction and the piece turned out utterly amazing. She’s quick yet doesn’t rush and her details are phenomenal. Would absolutely go see her again!!!

Caleb Kraemer

Rachael Huffman

Good experience with the two tattoos I got here. They are clean and organized and very non sketch. Touch ups were free when the ink didn't take on one of my tattoos. Would come here again.

Vanessa Petitclerc

I went in for advice on a piercing of mine and wasn't even seen by a piercer. The girl at the front desk was snotty with me when i asked to see a piercer and told me "to do what i think is best". i went in for professional advice and was blown off and she gave me no other options so i left. My advice would be to take your business elsewhere to piercers who care about you and want to know what's going on until this business gets a front desk girl that is actually nice and not a total wench.

Alexandria Martinelli

Krista McShane

Steven is very nice!! makes sure you are comfortable while he makes beautiful art on your body!!

I went in on June 12th to get an industrial piercing. The whole process went very smoothly from start to finish. Jeremiah Maska was the one who did the piercing. He was very friendly and did a good job at creating a comfortable, casual environment. He did the piercing so fast that I was legit surprised and impressed by how quick it was, plus it didn't hurt much at all. I recommend them!

Catie Burkhead

Hannah McClelland

Great experience, Jeremiah was fast and very nice. Definitely going back.

Camden Johnson

Todd Miles

These guys do great work. You won't leave disappointed!

Carla Cooke

Greeting etiquette needs to be improved. The lady with nose ring and colored hair acted like I was inconveniencing her with my general question. She needs to know that attitude is everything and that day she gave an negative impression that she did not care. I took my $ elsewhere.

Callie Lemon

I went there to get my nipples done, and I was really anxious. Jeremiah did an awesome job, the whole process took maybe five minutes. Very clean and professional.

tori hernandez

They're fantastic, went in and saw Steve to get a mother daughter tattoo with my mom before I moved to Iowa, he had a conversation with us and was really helpful and reassuring. Will definitely be going back to him for more tattoos! And about to go back for some piercings. They're fantastic!

AJ

Kailey Niccole

Very disappointed in my experience here. My best friend and I had been planning to come to this shop to get a piercing done together for almost 10 months. The first time we went in the piercer wasn't there so we were given a $5 off card for when we came back. We both got super busy and she moved home for the summer, so when we finally had time to we went. Once we walked in the staff was incredibly rude. There were three employees at the entrance all on their phones, and continued to stay more interested in their phones while my friend and I filled out the paperwork. The woman at the front desk was incredibly unfriendly, rude, and acting like she wanted to be anywhere but there. We continued through with the piercing and waited in the sitting area to go in to see Jeremiah. While we waited we were completely ignored as the piercer stood at the front desk still on his phone. He called us in after a little while and got right to it. He did not explain how he would proceed or even make some amount of conversation towards us. Yet this was the guy we had waited to see for 10 months.. The situation was uncomfortable and made even worse when my friend got the medusa piercing. He did not explain his procedure to her either, and the needle got stuck when he tried to pull it out. The end was very bent when he put it in, however it caused her a lot of pain when he was in the process of putting her jewelry in due to it getting stuck. Her whole lip was extremely swollen for the next several hours. We were both very worried. After everything was done no one said anything to us as we paid and walked out. Worst service I've ever received which is extremely disappointing given the time we waited and the fact that we planned to go back very soon to get more piercings within the year before. I will never go to BDC again, and I can say I truly don't think they care about that.

Jeremiah has now done 4 piercings for me, and he’s done a great job every time. Both times I’ve gone I’ve been in and out in 20 minutes. This store has a very clean environment, and the front desk receptionist explained what kind of metal would be involved in my piercings. Jeremiah (the piercer) wore gloves and a face mask and I saw him sterilize his equipment. The whole experience was very professional, and both Jeremiah and the front desk receptionist were very chill. Overall, I would highly recommend going here for piercings! (I can’t comment on the tattoo portion because I haven’t gotten a tattoo here!)

Anija philip

I had my first piercing experience in US from here July 2017. Very professional and very good. I would recommend this place highly. After my piercing I had issues because of the nature of my skin and they were always helpful and cooperative.

Maria Xoxox

Very unprofessional, i called ahead of time to ask about industrial piercing and if they were available, the girl on the phone didn’t mention anything about jewelry. But once I got to BDC the piercer Jeremiah lied and said they had no jewelry till next week and this was on a Wednesday. I believe if they were then the girl on the phone would’ve said something to me, he was very lazy and seemed like he just simply didn’t want to do it since it was around 6 pm and near the end of his shift. Went here for a nose piercing but he didn’t have any good advice for placement and did it as fast as he could. Would never recommend anyone to go here.

Patricia Tanewasha

I called and had a question regarding a septum quote. Got a call back, and went in an hour or two later. Steph what quite knowledgeable regarding septum the overall experience was clean/professional and humble.

Rosie Mistretta

Not looking for attitude at the front desk

Molly Naylor

Absolutely horrible. I would NOT recommend going to them for piercings. I had my tragis done and after six weeks it was still bleeding and pussing. It hurt to the touch and it was actually beginning to fall out of my ear. I went to a professional piercing place and was informed that #1 I had been given the wrong jewelry. #2 the jewelry was too big for my ear. #3 they had given me an ointment that says right on the package that it was not to be used for puncture wounds, which is exactly what a cartilage piercing is. and #4 they had missed my cartilage completely. And when I called to ask for a refund they were so unbelievably rude. Her tone of voice was rude, she told me that there was no way my ear had been bleeding after 6 weeks and refused to refund my money. After spending $50 on a piercing that I had to remove because it was done so poorly I am absolutely unsatisfied with both the customer service and their piercing ability.

Deja Jones

I had a wonderful experience here! It took a little longer than I expected piercing my nose because of a minor complication, but all in all Jeremiah is a wonderful at his job and if anyone in Lawrence is looking for a to get something pierced I would recommend him!

Abigaile weiser

Went and got my first tattoo with Pete, and everything was amazing! They definitely don't sugar coat that it will hurt, which honesty helped me be ready for some pain, even though the pain was minimal. Everyone was extremely welcoming, I would recommed them to anyone asking for a good tattoo place, and would get another one there myself!

Anita Welch

I am glad that I got my nipples pierced before I read the reviews. I got my nipples pierced about 3 weeks ago by Jeremiah. He was very nice. He explained want he was going to do before he started. Also before he started the piercing process he told me that if I started feeling sick or light headed to let him know. Just before he pushed the needle through through he told me to take a deep breath. I was surprised that it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Before he pierced the second one he made sure I was feeling ok. I told him that I had read that you should have the piercer change the jewelry the first time and he said that they would do it Free of charge. I was in there no longer than 15-20 minutes. About two weeks after having my nipples pierced I had to have a longer bar put in one of my nipples. He said that the other one could be put back in in two weeks. I asked him if I would do it like the way he changed it. He said yes or I could come back and they would change it. I am very happy with my piercing. I would recommend them.

Caroline Miley

Was in and out in 10 minutes getting my nose pierced. He was very reassuring and quick! I would highly recommend this place

Elijah Storm

Gail Courtwright

Erinrae Daniels

I got my septum pierced. They were very quick and still professional. Very good experience.

Mike Hensley

We can't speak for the service because it was refused. We attempted to have five piercings done on three people as a birthday present and we were literally told to go somewhere else. Because my daughters are under the age of 16 they are apparently not allowed in the store for any reason, ever. Really? Not even to spend money with their parents?! They get a 2 star review from me because I have to assume anyone turning away $ on the door step is doing extremely well with the customers they do let in.

Amber Smith

Angel Acton

Ive had two tattoos and three piercings here. Ive always had an amazing experience. I will always go back to get my tattoos done.

tatiana sweeten

I called there twice to find out all the rules when I came they told me that they would not do anything and I had to leave without piercing, I will not go there anymore. Bad service!

Nichole Pearsall

My piercer was Jeremiah! I got 7 piercings in one day! Jeremiah was theeee best! He did everything to make me comfortable and talked me through! He's amazing and I will be back to him! Check him out he's awesome!!!

Katia Anguiano

Casey Shockley

Heather Shehan

I went in with body jewlery from Third Planet, the staff was very helpful and changed my nose jewlery FREE of charge, however I did tip 10$ because they were so helpful!!!

Eliot McNall

Definitely the most skilled tattooists in Lawrence. Absolutely worth the price, as they can make even simple tattoos beautiful.

S C.

Great, talented tattoo artists but do not come here for piercings. They most likely won't heal right. I have had to completely remove ear piercings that were done here when they wouldnt heal after months and I know several people who have had to remove cartilage and body piercings that didnt heal properly after getting them done at this shop. Honestly just go somewhere else to get pierced

Very clean place, skilled artists. Well worth the money

Quality tattoos and friendly service.

Delaney Traynor

would give zero stars if possible. got pierced at a different shop but live in Lawrence, and when I had complications, I would come here. three times I was refused at the door by the awful receptionist, who told me my piercing didn't look infected (it was bright red and leaking pus for several days) and that I couldn't see the piercer. even when I made an appointment to see him for the infection, when I showed up for the appointment, the receptionist told me he didn't take appointments for things like that. honestly, just go somewhere else if you're looking to get a piercing. sore loser in hays, ks is a wonderful place.

Courtney Meyer

I got a cartilage piercing a little over a year ago at Fine Line Tattoo in Topeka. The woman who did my piercing was very rude when I was there, but it seemed like everything was fine. I went to change the earring and spent over half an hour trying to just remove the earring. The cartilage had healed in a large bump that wouldn't allow me to remove the earring. Frustrated and in tears I called Big Daddy Cadillac's, the woman who does piercings for them immediately offerred for me to come in and have her take it out. I went in and everything was very sterile. I was crying because it hurt so bad, but she removed it for me and inserted a new earring so that I won't lose the piercing hole while the swelling goes down over the next week. She also told me to come in when I was ready to put in a new earring and she would make sure everything was fine and help me insert it. She did all of this for free and at the drop of a hat. The staff was extremely friendly and willing to help me correct the problem. When I called Fine Line they simply told me it was probably my fault and that they couldn't help me in "Any way, shape, or form". I am now going to go to Big Daddy's for my tattoo and would not consider anywhere else if you're looking for a clean, friendly, professional environment.

Scarlet Ambriz

The girl working the desk with dark hair was annoying and snobby. Dont know who spit in her cheerios this morning but her attitude sucked and thats all i remember from the experience.The other clients that were in the shop with me at the time agreed.

Anne Marie Kauffman

I had my first ever piercing experience here yesterday. Jeremiah was quiet but friendly. The left piercing was perfect. Today I went back and calmly asked about the fact that my right piercing was not quite on the mark. Jeremiah was brusque and unfriendly even before I spoke to him today. I was told it would be $20 to pierce it again and he lectured me on how it was my responsibility to say I wasn't happy before I walked out. I showed him the picture and he acknowledged that it was a little off the mark but was completely unapologetic and unsympathetic. I got the distinct feeling he despised me. He clearly does not care if I ever return. I just wanted to be treated with respect. I wish I hadn't tipped him.

Kristen A

I went in today, after having no luck in Topeka. I walked in, was asked how old I am, waited ten minutes tops went back to the room got it done paid and left. I was in the shop for 20-30 minutes tops. Very please and very impressed with my nose piercing! Would definitely recommend Jeremiah, and plan on coming back to get a tattoo done & maybe more piercings!

Ashley Castillo

It really bothers me that the first review i see on the main google page is "I would not going here for piercings". Two friends and I all got our noses pierced by Jeremiah summer of 2014 and nothing but amazing things to say about him and the experience. I did have healing problems but you can't really blame him for how my skin heals. But I even went in to get a different size stud put in to help the process and he was more than helpful and free of charge. I've also received tattoos here and great experience and environment. My nose is healthy and happily pieced :) Thank you!

Brandon Bollig

I had my first tattoo done by Erin, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The experience was great all around and the tattoo turned out exactly how I wanted it. Update: I had my second, more extensive tattoo done by Erin. Same great experience. HIGHLY recommend.

Katrina Nuzum

Courtney Franks

I got my Medusa pierced here a few years ago and it was terrible, I told the guy I didn't want it that high and he said "oh it only looks that high BC of swelling" obviously it wasn't swollen & I ended up taking it out two days later $60 down the drain... So my dumb self went back and got the same piercing I told him where I wanted it he did I was stoked and it's crooked!!! I told him and he said it's BC my gums hitting the ring..... Couple weeks later nope still crooked. Not cool.

Only place I will go! Steven and Erin are fantastic artist.

Michael Swanson

Clean, quick, professional place. Glad I chose to come here for my piercing. Price was reasonable too. Will return to get my tattoos touched up one day.

Erin Bratzler is an incredible artist but Jeremiah Maska is a total, verifiable creep with many women who he has harmed and harassed.
