I did not get pierced, my friend did. I am rating a 5 on hospitality because the piercer was so sweet and welcoming. Always spoke to us and made us laugh. My friend loves her piercing too! Highly recommend this place.

Faith did an amazing job on my tattoo. She was very nice, clean, and took her time to make my tattoo amazing! Her artwork is nothing less then a masterpiece. I couldn’t have been more please with the professionalism, and uniqueness she has. Can’t wait to get my custom sleeve done by her amazing skills! Shout out to Brad, also really cool guy as well

Tristan is awesome! Very professional and precise. 2 tattoos so far looking forward to more!

Wonderful shop! I had my nose pierced back in April. Brad put me at ease and was very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The shop is clean and I appreciated how they sterilized the jewelry in front of me. The piercing itself did not cause me any pain and it has healed perfectly, all thanks to having an experienced piercer. Thank you Brad!

Brad not only met our expectations, but he far exceeded them! My daughter (11) has been wanting her ears pierced again for quite some time now. However, she is terrified of anything that may be even slightly painful. Before he began the piercing he had her comfortable, giggling, and laughing. Once the process was about to begin, she started to cry a little because she was scared and asking how bad it will hurt. Brad told her, The fear of it is far worse than the actual event. Just like most things in life with some more added awesomeness and silliness to ease her nerves. They did a couple practice breath holds then *BLOOP* in with the piercing. She winced a wee bit, then started laughing at herself and the situation realizing that it, indeed, was not painful, only slightly uncomfortable. She was so beyond proud of herself for going through with it, and I can say with full honesty, had we gone anywhere else and it was anyone else, she most likely wouldnt have went through with it. Brad made this experience so phenomenal for her!!! Thank you again, Brad! You absolutely rock!!

Faith did a fabulous job on my chest piece! She was very knowledgeable and I cant recommend her enough!

Sketched my idea and showed her what I wanted. A week later showed up to my appointment and Faith had a few stencils for me to choose from. Whatever, so I picked one I liked and asked her to add shading and give her zing to it… looks exactly like the stencil. Not the end of the world, I planned to go get more done to blend it in.Made an appointment for my girlfriend to get her first one and had art to show what she wanted. She arrived to Faith saying she didn’t do other people’s art (she made me choose from a pre drawn stencil the week prior!). So she sketched out a preschool drawling of what she wanted. She proceeded and got it done. Needless to say fooled me twice! Faith you get a half star from Melissa and I! Thanks but never again

I got an autism tattoo for my son and Frankie did an absolutely amazing job. Ive been looking for a new tattoo artist and I found one, she has an awesome attitude and makes you feel comfortable. I highly recommend frankie!

Visited this location 3 weeks ago to inquire about getting one of my ears repierced. The nice young lady at the front counter explained the procedure and told me to come back in 3 weeks, after not wearing an earring. The shop was clean and comfortable. TODAY I went back to the shop and met with AJ. He was very professional and did a good job on my piercing.I would recommend this business.

4.5- Kinda slow but they were busy so its understandable. Nice workers, brad was a sweetie. Quality piercing work, very happy with it.

I had my nipples pierced today with Brad. I was totally bugging out beforehand but him, Faith, and the owner were so friendly and nice. Truly it was a no brainer after the first piercing. I felt really good walking in and even better walking out. I highly recommend coming here, they were fantastic, professional, and really down to earth. Good vibes all around. Shop is clean too. Thanks to everyone there, I’ll be back for my next piercing for sure!

My friend and I came in to get some ear piercings with Brad, and he was awesome! Friendly, funny, and definitely made us feel comfortable. He was excellent at recommending different jewelry options and making sure the piercings were the best spot for our ears.

Great work. Beautiful art work. I have a few tattoos and piercings done from them.

Brad changed my nose ring jewelry which was infected because of an allergy, and he managed to do is as painlessly as possible i was so scared it would hurt but I barely felt a thing! The jewelry I had in was a weird one too and he was great at removing it and putting in another one. Great service and great pricing! Would definitely come here for future piercings.

Excellent service, got my septum pierced by Brad and it was an amazing experience. He was so friendly and funny and made me feel comfortable. Explained everything throughly and when it was time for the piercing it went great, fast and easy. I would highly recommend going to see Brad for your piercing. A++

Brad was very nice and gentle doing my piercings!! The shop was nice and clean. Ill be back soon to get a tattoo.

Two family members tattooed by Tristan. He is very good. We will be going back from now on. Very clean well managed.

Brad was amazing! Highly recommend seeing him. He’s very honest and helpful with the whole process. Will be coming back for more holes soon.

Very straight lines and fast too! Will definitely get the rest of my tattoos here

Me and my sister came to get a nostril and ear piercings from Brad, he was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable! He was also very clean and sanitary with our piercings. Very good vibes in that shop 10/10! Will definitely be coming back:)

I called Vicious Ink when I was experiencing what I would call a personal crisis. You see, my nose ring (a hoop, open on one end) that I have had for 13 years, got stuck inside my nose and I could not get it out. Needless to say I was horrified. I panicked and called Vicious Ink and spoke to Brad the Master piercer there who was very patient and kind to me. He said he had not heard of this before but to come in and he would take a look to see if he could help. I did and he got the ring to spin in one direction until it popped out and then was able to put in a new, safer ring by repiercing the inside portion of my nose that had closed up. He was calm and talked me through the whole process. It was PAINLESS which I was so grateful for seeing as the first time I got my nose pierced it was so painful I almost passed out. The place was very clean and they got me an appointment the very same day I called. He answered every question I had very patiently and thoroughly which is great because I ask a LOT of questions. So thank you to Brad and Vicious Ink for saving my life and saving me a trip to the ER. I highly recommend them.

Tristian was amazing. Both my tattoos are perfect. He was patient with a few changes I wanted, and made it happen. I appreciate the kindness and care he put into his work and awesome to chat with.Highly recommend Tristian and the shop. Thank you so much Tristian.

Shout out to Raquel Ruthless! I have been wanting this tattoo for so long, and she did an amazing job bringing it to life. I feel the price was appropriate as well. Also, I appreciate that all of the staff was polite and friendly, not just Raquel. 100/10, would go to her again for a tattoo.

Faith was not the nicest person to talk to. Wasent very helpful, felt like i had to struggle to get her on the same page as me and made some comments that came off as rude. Tattoo itself was solid i just wish the expierence was better.

We used to go there when Sam did piercings and she was lovely. I had all 10 of my piercings done by her. The new piercer Brad is horrible, stay away. It took 3 hours for him to do 3 nose piercings. And no, not over exaggerating on that either. And he took multiple smoke breaks in between. We really wished we ended up going somewhere else. Very unhappy about it and hope they can eventually get another experienced piercer in there.

Brad did an excellent job with my septum peircing. I love it!

I love this place. This was my second time getting pierced here and I was pierced by Brad, he’s simply amazing. He’s funny, talkative, informative and precise. I will definitely be going back here for any more piercings and tattoos.

They definitely know what they are selling and providing people with. We went in and they explained everything to us very well. The piercing was quick and efficient. I’m very happy with the end product!

Went in with my friend for a nose piercing for myself and ear piercings for him. Brad is a super laid back and funny guy, very comforting and professional too. I was really worried about it hurting a lot and my friend was a bit nervous too because hes never had any piercings done and the last time I was pierced it was in a Claires at 8 years old and that was traumatic. But Brad was super quick and gave us a breathing technique to do that helped us focus our nervous energy as the needle went through. Only ended up being like a 3/10 on the painscale and I was expecting a 6 or 7 so I was very happy. Very minimal pain for my buddy too. Would definitely go back for future piercings.

Rob was great! Listened to what I wanted and he did a great job!! Very happy with my tatts!! He added the paws to my feet that I already had... Just the way I wanted!! Covered up scars with other ones.

I’m so thankful i found brad. what an amazing piercer with the best personality. i would get my whole body pierced just to hang out with them. thank you for making me feel comfortable and for listening to me. i love my new jewelry and i told you, i will be back!!! you are all the best, i’m very happy to have found my new shop!!kayla (ms. protesting appointment times)

Got my nose pierced and the piercer was funny and easy to get along with.

The tattoo and piercers were hilarious and very friendly! Tristan did an AMAZING job fixing up my tattoos! Definitely going back to finish up my sleeve.

Nate and Shelby have done fantastic work on my body and I couldnt thank them enough, today I got 2 tattoos done by Nate and they couldnt have turned out better. I highly reccomend this place. My friends and I come here for all of our tattoos and piercings! Thanks Nate and Shelby!

I am a very satisfied customer also highly recommend VICIOUS INK TATTOOS & PIERCING .. Brad pierced me today and I loved that he was so caring, passionate and did such a incredible job on my face

I am very please with the way my new nose piercing turned out. Brad was amazing and down to earth. Loved his personality and his blue hair.

I received a botched nipple piercing in June/July of 2020. It went way too deep and caused me a lot of discomfort and bleeding (like way more than the average amount), and then when I went back to have it looked at I was told a longer bar would help, not actually removing the piercing (which is what you should do). Im extremely angry that this was done to me, and even when I went back for help my problem was still ignored. Now I need to wait months for my piercing to heal so I can get it redone at a place that actually knows what theyre doing and will not harm me. I had an overwhelmingly negative experience here, if youre reading this you have been warned.

Brad did a great job piercing my twin infants ear lobes! He was patient and made sure I was happy with the placement.

I was looking to have two helix (cartilage) piercings done and had passed this shop many times. I decided to drop in to ask some questions and ended up getting the piercing done the same day. Great decision to go to Viscous Ink!The staff was very helpful and accommodating to my requests. But I loved that they did give their professional opinion on things. They wanted you to make wise decisions and have the best experience possible. Long story short - they took care of their people!Shout out to Spencer for a great job and experience.

Brad is the best! 10/10 experience at Vicious Ink :)

My sister and I came in today to get piercings, and I just wanted to say how amazing Brad is!! He definitely had an amazing attitude, hilarious personality, and always made sure to explain, and help out in the best ways. Thank you Brad!

I’ve gotten about 4 tattoos and 3 piercings from this place they’re really good very talented creative and they know exactly what they’re doing!

First ink done! Chill and good work imo

Great experience. Tristan Michilli was my artist, great work, clean, professional, and more than satisfied with the tattoo. The owner was a cool guy along with Faith. 10 stars

I took my 8 year old daughter in to get her ears pierced. The whole staff we encountered during our visit were very friendly and patient. Instead of just explaining the process and the aftercare to mom, they made sure she was completely comfortable and knew how to take care of everything herself. The place was very clean. I would definitely recommend them!!!!

I was told my tattoo would be $480. After faith did my 2nd section of my tattoo she charged me a total of $300. So I paid $700 for mediocre work. The colors did not complement my brown skin color. If 1 hour is $150 and the first section was 2 hours and I paid her $480 then I was cheated. She told me after 1 hour and 30 min on the 2nd section I owe $300. She over charged me willfully and my tattoo is not beautiful. I will have to get a new artist to do a cover up. I have never had tattoo regret until now. Im heart broken and upset that a person could deceive another paying customer. If you dont know how to tattoo African American skin in a way that complements them then dont take the money. I will never get another tattoo from this shop again. I dont know if she used the wrong needle because this is how it healed. All my tattoos heal bright and properly. There are sections of my tattoos not completely covered with ink. This tattoo she did is not worth $700 period.

Great place. Very detailed. Amazing staff

Brad did my tragus piercing. He was very thorough and explained everything from beginning until after care. He also joked and talked alot to make me less nervous and more comfortable. He was very quick and gentle! Thanks for a great experience!!! Would highly recommend!!!

Got my nose pierced sept 21st and brad has been very helpful and did a great job he was also super nice and answered all of my questions throughout healing and all my anxiety questions with the process!

Frankie was great..love it!!

Brad very professional sterilized his tools and less pain on my nostrils. Brad highly recommend 5 stars😊

The place is clean inside and there is some great artwork done by the tattoo artist on the walls. FYI: they’re cash only right now and the website lists two artists that do not work out of this shop anymore, but not the artist who does. When I stopped in the first time the artist was doing a consultation and was a little short with me. I put down a deposit and scheduled a consultation for a later date. At the consultation, she helpfully suggested removing my old art as opposed to trying to cover it, which I’m 100% on board with. However, as I pivoted to “here’s the new piece I want to do in the interim”, she pivoted to, “you can fill out this form and schedule a new consultation.” We were only 20 minutes into it... so I either wasted $20 or saved hundreds. It’s all in how you look at it, I guess.

Fidela (Faith) was great! Took her time to understand fully what I wanted at the consult, and delivered above and beyond!I cant wait to go back and get another tattoo from her!

Absolutely fanastic tattoo shop! Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and 100% professional. Shelby did my artwork, and I couldnt be happier with the experience, and the tattoo. I wanted a tattoo redone, with abstract designs added. Shelby did everything I asked for, plus more. I highly recommend this shop!

I came here to get my nose pierced and was so impressed. Dave did a wonderful job. He was professional and polite.

Super laid back enviroment. tristan does a killer job

Well they were very nice, but that doesnt make up for the fact that my tongue piercing is beyond crooked. I even went back a few days later and the piercer, brad, said thats not as straight as it should be. Thats obvious. Thanks. Not only that but my tongue has been numb ever since. This is not my first tongue piercing. So i know how to take care of it and i know how it should be. It was excrutiating. I will probably be taking it out and getting it redone. Just a waste of money. Unfortunately i dont know if or when i will get feeling back in my tongue.

Great experience, very clean shop and professional artists!!!!

A friend and I called about doing a small custom piece on short notice. Shelby took our call said she could help us when we got there. She drew us up exactly what we wanted, she was super nice and fun while working on us. Can’t wait until she comes back up, will definitely be back to see her

Awesome artists, they have no issues working with you to get what you want your piece to be.I recommend Shelby Johnson over at the Rochester Location, but theyre all fantastic artists.

No one cared to give me any assistance.

Not sure what I wouldve done without Eve, she is absolutely amazing! She pierced my nose about 3-4 months ago. It was doing amazing, NO problems. So I decided to changed the jewelry just recently and what a big mistake. The prongs on the new jewelry was catching on everything! Went back to see Eve who is extremely knowledgeable and so helpful. She changed out my existing jewelry with not an issue for a new manageable one that wont snag on stuff! I was so ready to take it out but Eve made the process much easier. I would highly recommend this shop and Eve, shes the best!

Ive been to this shop multiple times and have never been dissatisfied. Nate Nash is an amazing artist, very friendly, clean line work, and great blending skills. Ive also been pierced by Eve Severe and she does a very efficient job. My nostril piercing looks amazing and was nearly painless. Highly recommend for all your ink and piercing needs!

David was amazing with my 5 year old. She was a little nervous and he completely calmed her down. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend them for ear piercings!

They closed early and didnt tell me, even though I had an appointment. It was for today at 7:30pm. I was told to call when I arrived. I arrive at 7:20 and call the store. No one answers so I get out of my car and try and open the door, but it’s locked and its pitch black inside the store and theres a closed sign on the door. I call 3 more times and leave a message. They never let me know that they were closing early. Incredibly unprofessional and I will be finding a new tattoo shop to go to because today was ridiculous. Dont waste your time.

Slowest team ever! I was told that I would be out in 30 min going in for a couple of ear piercings. It ended up taking 2 hours. The peircer, David, and his assistant took 2 smoke breaks while I was there. The next day, the end of a piercing (the rook) fell off, I asked to get it fixed because it had only been 1 day. Needless to say they said no, even after spending $500 there. BOTTOM LINE- DONT GO HERE. They are totally unprofessional and unsanitary.

Spencer and the rest of the crew are fantastic. The only place my wife will go for her piercing needs.

Faith was great she did an amazing job on my sons tat!

Had a really great experience getting two piercings here over the weekend! Everything was really clean and Eve was super nice and knowledgeable - I went in not really knowing what I wanted and she talked about what would look best on my ear. I walked away with a whole plan for my left ear and two awesome piercings!

Very clean place with a nice, friendly staff. It really seems like they care about what they do here. I like that they have signs posted regarding pricing so youre not wondering what youll pay. Nate was super friendly and down to earth. A friend and I got small tattoos but he still treated us like we mattered and took the time to make sure they turned out perfect. I love it! Will most likely return if Im ever in the area looking for a tattoo. Definitely recommend Vicious Ink!

I met Eve today to purchase and change a piercing. She was real cool and very gentle. I recently moved to this area, and was looking for a new piercer in case I get a wild hair...may have found one.

I got my helix done here a few months ago and my piercer was incredibly nice and friendly. She helped me through the process and went in depth with after care. After the healing time was up i realized it was still not healed and had a big bump on both sides. I went to a near by shop to get my 2nd helix done since I wasn’t able to make it out here. When I went in the piercer at the new shop was disgusted by how bad it was pierced. She removed the jewelry to reveal I had 2 huge bumps on both sides of my ear which was caused by the piercing being pierced crooked. I told her I did sleep on it a few times and she explained this had nothing to do with sleeping on it and all about how it was pierced. She told me it was one of the worst piercing she’s ever seen done. I never realized how much the piercing had hurt me all the time until she took it out. I’m now left with 2 giant lumps on my ear which are very noticeable and left me unable to get the piercing I wanted on that ear due to the swelling cause by the bad piercing.

After visiting Im highly satisfied with the professionalism and work done here. I got the most fabulous tattoo and it was done by Shelby. Shes gentle and very courteous and makes sure your satisfied before walking out the door. If you want anything with flowers or skulls shes your lady. Ill definitely be bringing myself and friends here from now on. Ill update with pics after healing!

My first ever tattoo experience has left me very pleased, thanks to Vicious Ink tattoo! The building is lends a clean, friendly, and professional atmosphere with a unique edge of its own. Nate Nash was my artist, and he produced two beautiful pieces of art for my best friend and I. The whole experience was enjoyable, from him helping us create custom pieces to the tattooing itself. At no point did I have any concern from my experience. Highly recommended!

Shelby was the best artist I could have asked for! Not only was she super understanding and patient, the sketch she came up with was beautiful!! I will definitely be going back to her in the future.

Excellent experience and artwork!!

I loved the piercings I got here! Got them done around Thanksgiving of 2018 and wanted to wait for them to heal to see how they look (great!!). I got two upper ear cartilage piercings during one appointment and I have had no problems with them since! the piercer at the Rochester location was awesome, and was willing to spend a lot of time working with me about where I wanted my piercings. the price was high, but covered the cost of the earrings and the actual piercing itself. I was more than willing to pay this because I had paid less for earrings in the past at other piercing shops which had gotten infected which needed antibiotics. I will be going back to vicious ink!!

Rob has been working on my tattoos the last year, and I wont ever go anywhere else. From covering up bad tattoos I had, to creating ones I love he knows what hes doing. People always stop me to tell me how good my work it. Thank goodness I found someone who knows how to tattoo. Thank you Rob!!!!!

Just had the most amazing experience. Shelby Johnson is an amazing artist and all around cool chick. She did an amazing job and captured exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend this place.

Raquel did a great job on my tattoo and im looking forward to my next one with her. I gave her details of what was in my head along with some pics as examples and she came back with some art!Id recommend her to anyone looking for a tattooVicious Ink as well, very clean and prompt.

My husband and I have gotten several tattoos here. It’s clean and comfortable. The staff is really friendly. We got tattoos from Mike and Brandi, they were both awesome! Will definatly go back.

I recently went to Vicious Ink to have a bald eagle and American flag tattooed on my forearm, and I have to say my experience was nothing less than awesome. Shelby was extremely helpful and knowledge from the drawing process to aftercare. She is utterly talented and a true artist. I will most definitely be going back shortly for my next tattoo.Thank you Shelby and the rest of the Vicious Ink staff for making my experience enjoyable.

Had an amazing experience with Shelby- she was friendly and super patient going over the designs and making sure we got exactly what we wanted. She took her time with the tattoo and fine details and it still looks amazing months later.

Awesome experience at Vicious Ink! My mom got her first tattoo from Bre and she did wonderful work! I also got my ear pierced by Randee and I love it! She was the most knowledgeable piercer Ive ever met. The shop is very clean and everyone is so nice. We are definitely going back!

Extremely professional and understanding. Made my first (nose)piercing a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. Just be sure that you buy a piercing that you can remove at home. I havent been able to, but the overall journey was a fun one. I dont regret a thing.

My brother and I visited the shop yesterday for his nostril piercing. Spencer was thorough in explaining the entire process and after care to my brother, and all around sweeter than a jellybean. Hes very happy with his piercing and I appreciate you taking good care of him. Thank you, Spencer !

Got a tattoo of my dogs paw who passed away. Shelby did an amazing job with all of the details, and sized the tattoo to the paws actual size. Very happy with my tattoo and definitely plan on coming back for my future tattoos.

David redid my eyebrow piercing and although its only been a week I feel like it is holding up and healing pretty well.I am very pleased with it and not to mention have gotten some ink in the past with them,very happy with their work.Thank you David/Vicious Ink!

I have gotten 2 tattoos from this shop (both done by Chris) and I am so unbelievably happy with how they both turned out! Everyone is so welcoming! Very clean and professional. I need to get some touch ups on my most recent tat, but overall I am more than happy with the whole experience.

Very welcoming shop. Really neat art on the walls too

Raquel ruthless is freaking amazing!!!! Shes light handed and detailed. Fun to talk to also!!! Will never go to anyone else!!!!

Best tattoo shop around. Staff is extremely friendly and care about how your experience goes and how it was. They are experts in their field and can really give you a sick piece of artwork. Always go here

Vicious Ink is my second home. Im at Vicious at least 3-5 times a month if not more. I have over 30 tattoos and all but 5 are from Vicious. I wouldnt feel right going anywhere else. I recommend every artist here. They are all very friendly and extremely talented. The cleanliness is top notch, and the owner is very strict on keeping up with certifications and licencing. Awesome location, and set up inside. Very open but cozy inside as well and awesome prices. I cant wait for my next tattoo already.

I’ve gotten two tattoos here and making plans for a third. Very happy with the quality of the work.

Nate did my tattoo and then touched it up afterwards and did an amazing job. Im in love with my tattoo, as well as everyone else. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and make you feel really comfortable! I will definitely be going there for anything I need done!

Wonderful people! Just had my second tat from there. Shelby is an amazing talent and equally amazing woman, thank you so much. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for new art.

I went here for a tattoo, which was the first time I’ve been here in a few years, and the lines were so crooked and uneven that the entire thing looked like it was on a dramatic curve. I went back to have it cleaned up, and it looked even worse. It was the ugliest most embarrassing thing ever put on my body. The people made me feel anxious and not welcome there. The staff they have now are terrible. So, after it healed I found an incredible artist at a better/cleaner shop who not only fixed the monstrosity on my body, but made it so much more than I could’ve hoped for- which gave me my confidence back. DO NOT GO TO VICIOUS. They don’t care about the work they put on anyone’s body. Go literally any place else.Editing to add,I work a lot, and finding the time to get a tattoo is very hard. After I was able to get off work early for my “touch up” here, I spent almost an hour waiting for the guy who did my tattoo (and who was supposed to fix his monstrosity) to even show up. When he finally showed up, he didn’t even know he was supposed to tattoo me- and Shelby was making a joke about how she forgot to tell him.I was sitting in the shop like an idiot for over an hour after my “appointment” time before he spent 20 minutes making it worse.I can’t imagine there would be any way to fix this situation since I attempted to let Rob fix the thing he put on my body, and I was already able to hide his embarrassing hack job after giving it a second chance.

Raquel Ruthless absolutely did a fantastic job on my tat awesome work and a good place to chill and get your ink on...ty vicious ink

Clean shop and professional, talented staff.

I went in for basic ear lobe piercing. The shop was clean, the wait wasnt unreasonable since I was a walk-in. The piercings have been healing very well, I could barely tell I had anything done. Would recommend. Thank you, Spencer, for the positive experience.
