Obsidian Ink — Local services in Anderson

My boyfriend and I did a walk-in with Tony at about 8:15 PM. This was both of our first tattoos but luckily we had brought a friend with prior experience. He traced my reference onto an iPad, printed it, and started my tattoo WITHOUT SHAVING IT. It didn't hurt too bad but it felt like he was dragging the needle across my skin. Multiple times during the process, he would blow onto my tattoo and also hit his vape multiple times. Afterwords, I had ink all over my arm and he didn't wipe it off (I would've asked but I didn't notice until we left). He then talked my boyfriend out of the tattoo he wanted (an idea Tony would've had to draw) and made him show him a reference so he could trace it. When my boyfriend's stencil was placed on, it was smudgy and he asked Tony if he would fix it. Tony said he's make it more clear. My boyfriend started getting the tattoo in the SAME place I got mine & began to tear up and complained audibly; saying "I'm never getting another tattoo." Tony said, "it doesn't hurt that bad" instead of offering to stop. The tattoo was smudgy, Tony didn't fix it like he said. My boyfriend was bleeding and Tony didn't wipe his tattoo either. We payed using venmo and Tony insisted we pay and label it as "a gift" (under the table to avoid IRS.) He basically rushed us out without telling us about aftercare, no aftercare sheet, and didn't wrap us. Afterword, our experienced friend told us everything he did wrong. My boyfriend also mentioned to me he felt the dragging feeling as well. If my friend wasn't there we would've never known not to itch, peel, etc....

I was in studio X about 2 weeks ago when I was talking to a woman about getting my nose pierced! The lady was very short and rude. I still decided to go ahead and get my piercing. As I was being prepped for it a young girl come in and called the young lady mom. I was in a bit of shock. I could not believe that woman aloud her daughter to wonder threw the studio with people getting inappropriate tattoos and piercings done! ABSOLUTELY NO YOUNG CHILD GIRL/BOY SHOULD BE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT! Dont you have to be 18 years and older to be in a tattoo shop? What is wrong with parenting these days? But I would not recommend using this place. You might have a child interrupt during...

This review is long over due but my mom & I decided we wanted to get tattoos for her birthday back in July & I honestly couldn’t be more happy & impressed with our tattoos, Tony was our tattoo artist & he did such an amazing job, like I was so nervous and scared just thinking about it before we even left the house, but once we got there he talked to us like he’s know us our whole lives which made things incredibly less nerve racking lol!! But I love my first tattoo so much, he really took the time to make sure it was what I wanted and that it really matched my animals!! Definitely will be back for my...
