I went here for my first tattoos ever. I had a basic idea of what I wanted but was open to some other ideas. When I told Chad (who did mine), he was so fun and nice and awesome and very talented. He came up with a design that was perfect. And it turned out perfect, really. I would highly recommend this place.

I got my first piercing here, it's a labret (Monroe). I set up my appt for five pm on my eighteenth birthday but since my boyfriend and I don't know the area very well we got lost and ended up calling Fluid Ink around 5:05, Chad picked up and told us exactly how to get there from where we were and we walked in the door at 5:15.

So far I was thinking that even though the guy was obviously friendly and helpful the building looked pretty sketchy. However, after I signed the waver form and we went to the basement I saw how clean everything was and that the floors and walls were just old. Chad explained the procedure to me and we chatted about why I was getting the Monroe, I was really amazed by exactly how calming Chad was, he did the piercing perfectly after showing me where it would be with a dot. It just felt like a strong pinch (much less pain than any cartilage). Chad explained the cleaning procedure and told me when to come back to get my piece changed. I love the piercing and it was a great experience, I'm going there for the rest of my tattoo and piercing wants for sure!

I went to Fluid Ink to get my first tattoo 2 years ago and I wish I never went. I got my tattoo done by the owner and it was HORRIBLE. He took advantage of the fact that it was my first tattoo and he could tell I didnt do much price checking or shopping around before I came in. I had to put $40 down to hold my appointment. I showed him a picture of the tattoo I wanted and he told me the tattoo would cost around $150. Fine by me....So, I go in and he starts working on me. We decided it was enough for the day, so we stopped. When we're done, he says I owe him $200, so I hand over the two hundred knowing the $150 was an estimate. He then tells me to come back in a week and it will be $175 an hour after that. He completely f**ked me. So, not only did I give him $40 to hold the appointment and $200 for the 45 minutes he worked on me (I thought it was only $175 an hour?!), but now he expects another $175 an hour after the $240 I already gave him. Initially I was told my tattoo would only cost around $150. Then, to top it all off, the tattoo is about 2-3" longer than I had asked for and the artwork is shotty. The lines that are supposed to be straight are all over the place...Fluid Ink SUCKS and I strongly suggest NEVER going there.
