For a first tattoo, I was nervous, Gabriella talked me through the whole process, from design to final tattoo. I am very happy, got exactly what I wanted.

I got a navel piercing and had such an amazing experience with Gaby! I was extremely nervous, but Gaby put me at ease. She is so sweet, gentle and professional from booking to the end of the session.
She walked me through the entire process, and the studio is incredibly hygienic - which made me feel so comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone getting their 1st or 10th piercing!

I honestly can't recommend Alternative Ink Studio highly enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, comfortable, and completely at ease.
Matt was incredibly attentive, listened carefully to what I wanted, and went above and beyond to create tattoos that exceeded my expectations. His talent, patience, and genuine passion for his work really shine through.
Gabriella was absolutely wonderful with my piercings. She was kind, reassuring, and exceptionally thorough throughout the entire process. The studio's hygiene standards are outstanding, and every step was explained clearly, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable.
You can truly see how much they care about their clients and take pride in what they do. I'm so grateful for such a positive experience and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Matt, Lindi and Gabriella for making the whole experience so memorable!

I was very impressed with the lady Gaby who did my nose piercing. Very patient with me. Gave me her squeeze ball Sam to comfort me and it worked. Sterilizing and sterilizing which really impressed me. She let me choose stickers and that cheered me. The piercing experience was a good one for me. We will see how it turns out but i don't really expect anything bad to happen to the piercing.

I had an amazing experience at Alternative Ink Emporium! The service was absolutely top-tier from the moment I walked in. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and make you feel comfortable right away.
The artists are seriously talented — the quality of their tattoos is outstanding, with amazing attention to detail and clean, precise work. You can tell they really care about their craft and take pride in making sure every piece looks perfect.
Their piercings are just as impressive: super hygienic, quick, and done with great care. The team explains everything clearly and makes the whole process smooth and stress-free.
If you're looking for a place with skilled artists, great vibes, and excellent customer service, I highly recommend Alternative Ink. I’ll definitely be coming back for more work!
