My daughter wanted her septum pierced, and based on reviews I took her here. She had her septum checked out, and due to her not having the «sweet spot» necessary for a septum piercing, she was told, «You’re asking me to cause you future pain, and I simply can’t do that.» I am grateful for this place having the integrity to turn down business when someone is not a viable candidate, and I highly recommend them. She ended up having her upper ear pierced instead, and they did a great job that was quick, professional, and is healing nicely.

Advertises Tattoo & Piercing, but not interested in doing any piercings. We called ahead to see if we needed an appointment because, we are 20 minutes from the location, and were told no, but as soon as we got there he was wrapped up for the rest of the night on a tattoo. We talked to the very nice guy at the counter, and made an appointment for the next day. When went there the next day for our appointment, again the guy that does tongue piercings is not available because, he is giving a tattoo and won’t be available for a couple hours… why offer appointments if they don’t honor them! Very unprofessional! We will take our business someowhere else. I do not recommend them for piercings and if you make an appointment, it could be canceled without even a phone call to let you know. They defintely couls work on customer relations. The only reason I gave a full one star is because the guy at the counter with glasses was very courteous.

Went in to get a nose piercing for my birthday w/​a few friends, the gentleman at the front desk was not very friendly but pushing that aside TERRY did an amazing job with the piercings. Honestly barely hurt at all! Very quick and efficient & CLEAN! Will definitely go back in the future! Thank you Terry!

I was only in town for a few hours. Walked in and was greeting by a nice guy at the desk and told him what I was interested in. Hooked up with Austin and he drew up a beautiful piece for me and got it all done in one sitting. Austin was very professional and easy to converse with for the duration of my session. Very nice, sexy, and detailed tattoo. Very pleasant experience. Clean and sanitary work environment and he explained everything he did from start to finish. I will definitely be returning and looking for him when I am back in town for my next one!
Even though it’s quite a drive for me… as long as Austin is there, I will be a repeat customer. Thanks for having me!

Called to make an appointment and the male that answered the phone spoke to me as if I were uneducated and was asking a dumb question. He was also very sarcastic. Not only did he speak to me in this manner, he was slow to respond to my questions, not sure if he was trying to be sarcastic or just slow minded. Poor customer service. Wouldn’t recommend.

Kingpin tattoo is amazing. I’ve gotten a coverup from manda may here as well as a septum piercing and both times were beyond my expectations. I am going to forever go to manda to do all my tattoos, she is amazing! & I love my new piercing & it was pretty painless. This place is awesome.

I finally found a tattoo studio to call my own, and that’s Kingpin. They are knowledgeable, friendly and keep the studio very clean. My artist is Manda May (
). Not only is she an amazing artist, but she’s well organized and always puts the customer first. I have had 2 custom pieces from her so far and definitely plan to be back for more.
It’s a 2-​hour drive for me to get to Kingpin, and well worth it for the caliber of talent there.

Would not go back. Piercer who pierced my nostril told me I had a keloid when I went in for a small bump that was growing from the site. It was not a keloid in fact those are very uncommon and require surgery or steroids to get rid of, are hereditary, and she knows nothing about keloids. She told me to put teatree oil which made it worse! It took forever to heal when I should have just applied warm sea salt soaks when bump appeared. Bump finally quit appearing and has healed after 5 months. Also the first words that came out of their mouths were extremely rude to me and embarrassed me. Very unprofessional and I did not go back when I wanted my septum pierced. I went to Zack at Jaded Dragon and it healed within a month no problems (wish I had gone there for my nostril)! I would not go back here if it was the last place on earth to get pierced anyway.

Well I can rate one Artist pretty well MANDA MAY is pretty AWESOME. Everyone in the shop is pretty cool and friendly. Looks like everyone has return customers. I got my first (only one so far) tattoo from Manda May and it turned out GREAT! I went 3 times in all and literally watched Manda build me a work of art on my shoulder. From her books of artwork and of her tattoos I think she can pretty much do any style. So hit her up. The shop only takes cash though… I guess that is a good thing because if the took credit cards Id probably have a few tattoos and be broke. Basically all I am trying to say is Kingpin Tattoo (and Manda May) are NICE… go see em.
