The main customer/lobby area has a really great feel and is well decorated! Everyone is very polite and customer service was good! My artist is Laura and we have finished part #1 of a two part tattoo! So far I am pleased with the outcome!

Great place to go. Everyone very personable and friendly. Some great talent works there too.

The studio was clean and was very welcoming. Travis was super nice and polite. My piercer was also very nice and he made simple conversation which I liked. I did a walk in and the wait time was pretty short. My overall experience was great. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Have gotten work done here several times over the years. Its not really a warm and friendly environment but they do good work and thats all that really matters. Recently got a flash tattoo by Lucky. Hes a great artist and did a great job. Nice guy and will book with him again soon for a bigger piece.

Absolutely do NOT get pierced here. If you actually do your research, you’ll know that the correct piercing to have when your get your ears pierced is a straight bar. It’s outrageous that their first option is HOOPS. Which is 30 bucks! And then they have the audacity to charge you an extra 20$ if you want the correct kind of bar. I wish someone would’ve told me sooner not to get my second lobes pierced, because they haven’t been healing right because I had to get hoops, even though I’ve taken care of them, and now it’s past the point that they said I can change them and I’m pretty sure they healed curved, so I don’t know if I’m going to be able to have a straight piercing in it. This makes me furious because that’s all I wanted was a NORMAL piercing, not a hoop. Please, save yourself the money and pain and go someplace else where they actually know what they’re doing. You won’t regret it.

Gwyndolyn was incredible! She got us in pretty last minute, and was just great to be inked by. My best friend and I got matching tattoos, and it meant so much to have a woman do our ink. She was so accommodating when I needed a second to get my blood sugar back up; it just really put me at ease.I will absolutely come back.

I had Gwyn & Kyle do my Friday the 13th tattoos. They did a fantastic job, are pleasant to chat with, and their lines were absolutely crisp. Im going to recommend this shop for tattoos in the area. One of the better experiences Ive had with tattoos in a while

They do such an absolutely phenomenal job! Gwyn Is highly recommended she takes her time and is very detail oriented and shes does beautiful work!! I am yet to get my tattoo done by the other tattoo artist there but they all do such a good job!! The whole staff there is so funny and so sweet I almost feel like at home being there!! Definitely going to be my place to go for tattoos from now on! Very happy with my tattoo!!

I had two tattoos done by Laura and from consultation to finish she was awesome. She kept the mood lite and was meticulous in making sure I was good during the tattoo. Not to mention the memorial tattoo she did has gotten so many compliments and is just stunning. I highly recommend having Laura do your tattoo.

I had a tattoo done here yesterday. Ive never been here before but I had the artist Lucky and he was amazing. He did a great job and he even accommodated me towards the end of the day even tho he thought I was there for just a consultation. AAA place, very clean and professional full of fun people who take their work seriously.Just to add on in response to the Goad guy down there mad about hoop earrings. Outside of a Claires store, every piercing Ive ever gotten in the ears (12 in total), at numerous different tattoo parlors, all pierced with hoop earrings.Youd think thats info youd have gotten beforehand, plus you can just wait until its healed and put in whatever you want. 1 star for your own lack of research is pretty weak.

Easy to find and really clean on the inside. Very chill atmosphere, they have dope decor, and play good music to listen to while waiting. The staff was friendly and they also had a wide range of merchandise available in shop (shirts and piercing jewelry. I believe they offer other beauty products but I was mostly interested in their tattoo services) Have my tattoo appointment scheduled with Hannah for next month. She was able to transform my original idea into exactly what I wanted and made it so it fit me more. I will say if you plan on getting tattoo services here BOOK IN ADVANCED. The wait period is very long; but worth it. Super pumped!

I feel that Elysium Studios is the most professional establishment of its kind here in Northwest Indiana. The feeling you get when you walk in is comfortable, clean, and professional-feeling which leads to peace of mind that youve come to the right place. All of the employees and staff are great people. Ive talked to all of them and I would welcome everyone inside my home without a second guess, which is a great feeling when walking into any business. This is the 3rd time Ive had Ruth cut my hair and every time Ive left feeling like she did an amazing job. Thanks, Ruth!!!

The guy at the counter was really cool and the one that did my piercing, Travis, was really cool too. For my first time getting a piercing I would give them a 10/10 and it wasnt a very long wait either for a walk in. :)

My granddaughter had her ears pierced. The gentleman took the time to see she is only 5yrs old, and he played soundtrack of Frozen so she would feel more comfortable. He did a great job !

Got my small butterfly tattoo an it turned out amazing very smooth and perfect lining

Private room while getting tattooed, room is cleaned after each client is done. Laura (tattoo artist) beautifully corrected a botched job that my granddaughter got somewhere else and now it looks like the dragon she wanted in the first place.

Awsome place to get tattooed or pierced . Friendly staff and amazing artist. Definitely recommend this place.

Such a wonderful studio with extremely good prices. Upon arrival, the girl working the front desk was very pleasant. Both herself and our piercer kept us very well informed before and after our service about how to take care of our piercings. We had the pleasure of meeting Travis, the new piercer! My mom and I both came in for piercings. She got her nose and I got a double helix.Travis was friendly and personable. He made our experience so comfortable, as he is extremely likable and an excellent conversationalist. He did an excellent job with our piercings. He made sure we were satisfied before and after the piercing! He is very knowledgable and it was so easy to ask him questions we had. Absolutely an amazing experience! Thank you for being so accessible, unlike some of the other studios that are impossible to get into without an appointment in the area.

Cover up in process amazing artwork and staff Hannahs amazing at her job and all staff is wonderful and prices are great also have hair care crystals clothing and soon to be Cafe shop next door highly recommend 10/10

They pierced my tounge that was cool but I brought my 10 gauge hoops in to ask if they could taper them through my existing holes because I had to take them out for awhile but the guy didnt even have a taper and if they did they wanted 20 dollars to do it. Not trying to be rude but I got it done at Body Gallery for 10 bucks no problem.

Hannah was so much fun and did an amazing job. Definitely going back.

Why only five stars, because Google wont let me give six! Laura does competition quality tattoos. I had a few tattoos since October and I hope this place stays the same because I plan on having a lot more done.

I go here for every piercing that i have! Recently got my septum done and Travis did an amazing job, no pain at all! Can’t wait to go back soon :)

Lauras Lynn with that Heat ! 🙏.

Everyone is awesome at this shop! I highly suggest this shop for any of your tattoo or piercing needs. This is gonna be my forever shop to go to!

The staff passes it off on Management to resolve problems & Management isnt doing their job when a customer has a complaint they avoid addressing it. I have tried now 3 times to speak with Management regarding a poorly done tattoo & not a single return call.

I loved this place just got my nose peirced and they were awesome

I went here for a small memorial tattoo for my cousin who passed away I did a heart on my wrist. When I tell you some lines are faded, thicker then others, every thing about it is uneven. I’m so upset. I wish I could post a picture I’m not sure how.However she was SO KIND. They were SO PROFESSIONAL. But the work was really upsetting..

Always amazing work and people

I called ahead and they told me that we could come on in and get a piercing and then we got there and they told me that they couldn’t take us any more 🙄

Travis did my tattoo and he gave me exactly what I asked for turned out so nice the colors just collab so perfectly. Thank you!

Great service and professional

The owner has no customer service skills. Acted like I was going to walk out not paying. Too bad too I really like the artist Gywen. Told her to keep my deposit of 100 dollars and will not be back. I want some to treat me like they want me there. She made something I was excited to get into a stress filled ordeal.

Clean, professional, and did a great job on some nipple piercings

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!

Johnny is absolutely the best tattoo guy I know hes so supportive a really cool guy to talk to he give you what you want for an amazing price. When you go there or even call you get treated like family its amazing feeling definitely will be back

*UPDATE*How do you argue with someone who was intending to make a purchase, then lie and say its illegal to purchase something to bring to another store, when its not? Also no one cares about drama. You are a buisness, I am a customer who does not care and had children present. My original review stands, Adam didnt discuss drama with me. Just suggested that you had gem earrings I could purchase for my daughter since he only had metal ball earrings. Seriously so much drama and on my daughters birthday!!Place has gone under since Adam left.

Discouraged me from getting any type of tattoo, got that feeling of not wanting to be helped so I left ☹️

Had a tattoo from a different shop fixed. Was very happy with the outcome. Shop was huge and full of fun stuff. It was very clean and organized. I also liked that the tattoos were done in separate rooms. Privacy is important to me. Very professional. Highly recommend.

Great selection of body jewelry! (Although the new counter girl was kind of lazy with opening cases for me, and sold me the wrong jewelry for my monroe my last visit.) The old piercer fixed my cleavage piercing for free and got me out of terrible pain. He is no longer there, and they do not currently have a piercer. I always recommend this place! I have no experience with tattoos here.

I had my nose and industrial pierced here and loved the results. Very clean and friendly. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone.

Talented n fast, keeps appointments on time

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.

I love this place. The staff is amazing, I love my tattoo, and the piercing side is awesome too. The best place in Valpo for both tattoos and piercings. They are also very community oriented and do a lot for charities.

I have gotten 4 piercings done by Jessica. She is super nice and professional! She makes sure you’re comfortable & satisfied with placements and even gives honest feedback. Can’t wait for my next one!!

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!

They do amazing work. Clean and very trustworthy. I will go here always for my piercing needs.

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 Im definitely going back for another tattoo.

I went here to get my labret piercing and it was quick and painless. Very kind people. Highly recommend to go here for a tattoo or piercing if you like to get things done right and quick. They are very clean too

Love my tattoo done by Johnny. He always does awesome work and always makes me feel right at home. Will be back soon for my next tattoo !! Love ASG!!

Unprofessional staff. Left messages on the phone, by email and in person for the owner to contact me on covid 19 policies. Never recieved a single reply. Peronally Im new to the area and was looking for a dependable tattoo artist. I have approximately $5,000.00 of ink completed. Their loss not mine.

Adam pierced my 6yr old daughters 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.

I have never been to a place like this before. But damn! Best place EVER to get piercings. Havent gotten a tattoo yet here, but Adam was awesome! Ill be coming back here for sure. Awesome prices, clean!

Christina and the entire staff are very welcoming, fun and most importantly, willing to LISTEN. Ive 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 cant 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!

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 Johnnys 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.

Just got my snake done bites here, it was very fast and easy and the staff was very helpful with questions and very friendly! I highly reccomend this place for piercings. :)

Always a great experience here! Super friendly staff and they truly know what they are doing, plus their artists are amazing!❤. LOVE THIS SHOP!!

Nice environment. Artist are really friendly and they even allow your kids and make it kid friendly.

I love my tattoo so much just got it today unfortunately I cant show any pictures but I recommend when you go to American skin graphics you ask for Johnny V he did my tattoo today I love it so much

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

I love Christina so much. She is kind, patient, and is an amazing artist. We just completed my 6th piece and the originals shes 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 Ill never trust another artist with my ink. And if that wasnt enough, the manager Crystal treats you like youre an old friend and remembers your name even if you havent walked in the door in 6 months. No matter how busy she is, Crystal takes the time to treat you as if youre the only one in the shop. I love ASG and highly recommend them.

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. Its a great atmosphere, good prices, professional, and just feels comfy. Like home. Thanks yall! 💗

I went here after having a bad experience with Umbrella Tattoo. I am so glad I did! Adam is amazing! Hes 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!

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

So my intentions were go bring my daughter in for a naval piercing, Ive 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!

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.

The staff there is really nice and helpful got my first tattoo their and it was lots of fun and laughter definitely will go back. Their artist are also really good and will help first timers.

Cool, friendly people. Clean and professional. We drive 45 minutes just to go here because we refuse to go anywhere else!

Went in for a piercing and the wait time wasnt too bad. Nice friendly guy you can tell he is very experienced. Made it a breeze

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 didnt 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.

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.

The artists are skilled, friendly and professional. The business is clean and organized.

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!

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

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

Jessica is the best ! She is very fast and she always will talk to you to distract you she is really cool! Definitely come here and get all your piercings !

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.

I got three piercing from there. They are truly great, and the price isnt bad!

I loved the feel of that place. Adam was the one who did mine and my best friends tattoo and he was super nice and answered all of our questions. I didnt 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.

Great people. Their tattoos are great. Ill 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.

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

Got my nose and Tragus pierced today! Adam was great in telling me exactly how it felt and why I shouldnt 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 Ill come here!

Friendly staff and clean facilities, my fiance loved his experience! They even talked over some possible color changes and he walked out with a better tattoo than what our idea was.Great prices too. Definitely will be going back.

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 cant wear it anymore. The receptionist just said No returns! And didnt 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.

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

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

Very professional shop. They do a lot of piercings that other shops shy away from, and they do them well.

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.

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. Im so mad, half of this was a waste of money and pain, oh the pain.

My wife and I were walk ins 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.

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.

Got two small flashes last Friday the 13th! Great care was taken by Johnny and Cristiana and I’ll definitely be back:)

JOJO IS AMAZING!!!! This place is AMAZING! The staff makes you feel right at home. JoJos work is off the chain. Shes very professional and doesnt like to rush her work. I will never go anywhere else!!!!😘💕💯😍 A.S.G. FOR LIFE!!!!😁🗣️

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.

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

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.

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. Im not happy at all with this tattoo. The fact that Im already trying to figure out a way to cover it up speaks volumes. I recommend going elsewhere.

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 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.

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.
