Got my first tattoo here just last night. Ev spent a lot of time with me discussing options beforehand; very knowledgeable and thorough, and everything came out perfect. I'll definitely be back, both for myself and to refer anyone else I know.

I absolutely loved my experience! Ana did an amazing job! It was my first tattoo and she made sure to ease into everything and I was super satisfied. She was very clear with every thing she was doing with the tattoo to ensure that we agreed!I would highly recommend and I can not wait to go back!

Roger Pé-Curto

Super friendly people. Tough getting an appointment sometimes.

This review is long overdue and I'm not the type of person to leave reviews on anything ever BUT I feel like something has to be said. Back in October my mom and I made appointments to get tattoos for my brother who had passed away from suicide the year before. I have gotten multiple tattoos at First Place and was always happy with the result so I figured why not take my mom there for something that meant so much to her. Our appointment was with Ana C. who we were told would be very understanding and sympathetic to the situation. Unfortunately Ana did nothing but shoot down my mother's ideas from the moment we stepped in. She questioned everything about the tattoo that my mom designed and basically told her her original idea was cheesy. For example, my mom wanted tear drops and Ana insisted that that was a prison tattoo and meant you had killed someone. We said that it only matters if it's on your face and either way that was what my mom wanted. Ana had to go ask someone else and look it up on the internet before finally agreeing. This happened with every little detail. Instead of just copying my mom's idea she insisted on drawing it out on her surface which resulted in it looking too perfect and like a 10 year old went on power point and designed this tattoo themselves. I have multiple tattoos and I understand that fonts and sizes need to be a certain way so the tattoo doesn't blur together but Ana insisted on changing everything. Once we began the process she seemed to become less annoyed and more relatable but at the end of the day my mom was the one tattooing this on her body and there was zero reason for every single one of her ideas to be ignored. I also don't understand why Ana insisted on copying a stereotypical heart from her tablet when according to her artwork on the website she does intricate tattoos all the time. It seemed like she was in a rush and uninterested in what my mom had to say. I get it has been almost 8 months since this has happened, but the anniversary of my brother's death is coming up and my mom is reminded every day about this tattoo that she hates. Her only options are to have it be covered up completely or at least go over the lines to make it look less childish and both are expensive. I'm sure Ana would touch it up for free or with a discount but honestly my mom would not trust her again. I should've spoken up and taken my mom elsewhere the second Ana started questioning all of my mom's ideas but I didn't realize how unhappy she was with it and this was her first tattoo in over 30 years. I just hope that no one else has this experience because like I said, I have been happy with multiple tattoos I received here but we don't plan on coming back after this. * the picture on the left was what my mom designed and the picture on the right is what she got

a tattoo gem in a rural town. you can always find good artists here, and amazing unique work. appointments may take a long time to get, but worth it, everytime.

I called in advance and reserved a time slot for a twenty minute tattoo at 6:00pm. I enter the building confused and untreated, for it was the first time I'd ever been there. When one of their employees finally noticed me and asked me how they could help me, they were rude and short. It was my first time at your tattoo parlor and my first impression was already not to a good start. My tattoo artist Evan came out twenty minutes late for my appointment and gave me a half fast handshake. It took him an additional ten to fifteen minutes to get my design on the tracing paper (why is that so hard not like he had to draw anything up). He then told me he was “going to set up his tools” twice before he actually went to set his supplies up and did not come back for an additional twenty minutes. Evan did not provide a welcoming environment. I felt uncomfortable and a burden to his poor time management. My tattoo was rushed and was not quality. My tattoo required no advanced tattoo art technique (shading, color, filling, etc), it was simply just tracing a sentence of letters (not even a complex fancy font). Some of the letters are not the same as the orginal design I gave him. When my half fast tattoo was complete, he rushed me to get out of his room and did not guide me to where I had to pay. Evan was not sure how to charge me for the tattoo either, which also showed me his unprofessionalism. NEVER going there again. worst costumer service ever.

I love this shop. I've had two of my tattoos done here by Evan. Great guys and fabulous artists here. Clean and good energy environment.

Torey Ravo

I was just in tonight to get a new piercing and Justin was beyond amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and at ease before starting and is able to make a connection with everyone! The facility is clean and welcoming and you can absolutely tell that Justin takes pride in his work. I can’t wait to go back

Having been born in NJ, but raised in a military family, I came to visit family that I haven't seen in 25 yrs. Only being here for a week, I decided that I wanted to get a tattoo done as a way to keep a part of NJ with me forever. When I called and spoke to Ana, she asked what I was looking to have done, as they were booked solid for my entire vacation. I described the situation and that I was looking for something simple. Ana said if I wanted, she would stay after closing time and help me out. Now while I didn't get what I had in mind, we came up with a better idea and she knocked it out of the park. Very nice, clean shop. Friendly staff. Best of all, I get to go back to Arizona with a killer kick ass piece from my home state. I couldn't be happier.

Maria Goncharenko

The staff is very helpful and welcoming, even if you ask five thousand questions. Got my piercing here, and planning on many tattoos. Definitely a safe place to go to. Most of people I know come here and their tattoos look incredible.

Dawn Hollenbeck

David Denner

Got my first tattoo there

Maddie Davies

I have a lot of piercings in my ears, gone to various places only to be disappointed. Countless piercings rejecting and not being done right. Within the last year I got my conch and rook pierced at a place near my school (both rejected/not placed right) but I knew if I found the right place I’d be set. Conch AND rook both beautifully done by First Place (in the same ear as the first ones with no problems at all) I’m so pleased and would HIGHLY recommend getting your piercings here.

Margarita Alvarado

Jess Elzinga

My favorite place for piercings and tattoos!!!! Justin has done so many of my piercings, and I'm happy with all of them. Ana has done two of my tattoos and I'm absolutely over the moon about both of them. She's an amazing artist and I will never go anywhere else

Nancy Mezzina

Bellamar Otero

Went in for my first tattoo, they treated us very nice and were verg welcoming from the start. I had Ana and she made me feel very comfortable and calm, she made me really trust her which is hard for me because I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I loved my tattoo would go again to her. Only detail I set up my appt for 9pm and they ended up taking me at 10 :/

Michele Serra

Clean, great with my daughter for ear piercing

Jen Mills

Very friendly and knowledgeable and clean! Great bunch of people with awesome talent.

Miss Thompson

Love our artist Everett, however a little disappointed in my hand tattoo. Which I was told would fade a little but over time I noticed blank spots in my art work but I do work in the health care field and wash my hands frequently so understandable, what I do like is he is willing to touch up our tattoos at no cost to us so hopefully it goes well. I would go again.

Joe Pearce

Had an appointment scheduled for over 2 weeks, an hour and a half before the appointment they called saying there was a family emergency and it would have to be rescheduled... Which is acceptable. What is not acceptable: the soonest they could to take me to reschedule after canceling was a month away. I will take my money elsewhere

Jurgen Junco

Great place to go!! Everyone was very friendly and inviting from the minute you walk through the doors. Was only a 15 minute wait to get my piercings done! Highly recommend

Jesus Arbelaez

Tom Wurtemberg

I like to go to a different artist for each tattoo I get. When I have an idea for a big tattoo I always go back to Everett at Firstplace. He’s the best at turning my idea into exactly what I want. His ability to use the shape and muscle lines of an individuals body to determine exactly how the tattoo will be positioned is like nothing I’ve ever seen anyone else do. He’s very efficient with the time booked for the appointment. I’ve been to other very good artists who seem to mismanage the time then tell me I’ll have to make another appointment to finish. After I was very clear that I didn’t care how long the appointment had to be as long as it’s done in one sitting. Everett is always done in the time he says or less. If he needs more than One appointment he already knows that before the first appointment is made. So there is never any surprises about needing more time.

Jon Paul Ward

My wife, and all the children with ink have had it done here. Can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area.

Candice Marie Cook

I love this place. Been going here for years

Kimberly Coslit

Evert surprised me by creating a new tattoo around my dove by making it my own freehand, on my ankle. It was a experience I will never forget and looking forward to having him create my next tattoo.
