Andrew / Bo did my ear piercings today 3 on each side. Not only was he extremely professional but took extra precautions to ensure everything was clean and that I left happy with my new piercings. He was really nice and made it a relaxing experience for someone who is nervous about getting a piercing done! Would highly recommend!!! 10/10

Received a very amateur tattoo, extremely poor quality and they would not correct as the placement was on my foot. Understanding that I received the tattoo in November and had to wear closed footwear over the winter, they would not guarantee nor would they take a look to clean it up.
I reached out and provided the opportunity to have them correct as the quality of the tattoo was so bad for a place that has such a good name.
I have other tattoos on my feet from other less popular tattoo locations and they still look brand new.
I am extremely upset with the quality and less than impressed with

I got an extremely bad piercing done in Sydney and called Adept to fix it! They got me in that same day and the piercer was super professional, explained what went wrong when the first person in Sydney did it, and even explained how it should have been done and will be done better. He educated me on the anatomy a bit and mentioned that he does annual courses so he always has the most current information available and also had his certifications on the walls too. Super clean as well! Once I'm all healed from the first piercings we had to remove, I'm absolutely going back to him to get them done

This is one of the cleanest tattoo shops I have ever been in. When you go into the shop every single person is friendly, it’s a great atmosphere. It’s one of the only shops I have been to that brings you in for a consult before booking your appointment, so it allows you and your artist to make sure your getting exactly what you want. I went to Amber, not only is is beyond talented but she also keeps you laughing through the whole session. Greg who does the piercings is hands down the coolest most professional one out there. Don’t second guess booking with adept, you will absolutely love it

My first trip back into a tattoo shop in 13 years and happy I did. Have been wanting to get work done for awhile and Adept made it happen for me. Very professional, organized, easy to communicate with, customer focused shop. Will definitely be going back here for more work. The staff at Adept made for a really great and positive experience. Thanks to all staff at Adept and big thanks to Dakota!

I had work done by Travis. A simple ankh. It was done very poorly, the shading went outside of the line work, and the black was not well saturated at all. It was spotty and the line work was not even close to perfectly straight
I had it touched up by Travis after it healed giving him the benefit of the doubt. To fix the shading going outside of the line work he just made the loop of the ankh fatter, which distorted the ankh completely. Even after the touch up the black was poorly saturated and the line work was a mess.
I was very dissappinted as an ankh is such a simple design, it was hard to
