Mission Ink Tattoo & Piercing

My friend was in the city visiting and on a whim we popped in to see if they had time for a walk-in because she wanted her septum done. Jake welcomed us in, was super professional and obviously very good at his job. My friend had trouble with septum piercing before because of the shape of her nose and septum, and he was able to work with her anatomy to make a piercing that looked really straight and fit her face so well. Then we both got earlobes too. He was quick and smooth with it and the whole thing was practically pain free. Cute little shop right in the heart of the mission.

This was my first time here and everyone had a really cool vibe. Guilherme was a great artist he was funny to talk to and had good technique. The tattoo also came out amazing, would definitely recommend!

Ariel created a friendly and engaging environment. She did an amazing job my tattoo as well. The Mission Ink Tattoo supporting staff was super friendly and helpful. Their second location is bright and beautiful. Loved it.

Absolutely amazing experience. I got my tattoo done in July. My artist was Ariel, and they were very kind, patient, and listened to me ramble. This was my first ever tattoo and I was incredibly nervous but they listened to me yap away. Was willing to work on sizing, placement, and re-printing the stencil. barely hurt at all and took around 2 hours. Incredibly sanitary, quick, and painless. My tattoo was 200$ before tip (amazing price). Pics shown are fresh, and 6 months healed. I will be back for another tattoo soon!

I had my conch pierced recently by Salomé, she was very professional and walked me through every step of how to care for my new piercing. She was very thorough and knew how to ease any anxiety I had; I felt comfortable to ask her all of my questions. She also helped me to choose the right jewelry for my conch and even anodized the jewelry to my color preference! The front desk person was also very friendly and approachable, and I felt super safe and welcomed. HOWEVER, I didn't have the greatest experience when I came back to Mission Ink a second time. I am still rather new to getting pierced and I felt that the person who downsized my jewelry (I didn't get their name as they didn't introduce themselves) during my second visit was slightly rude towards me and suggested that I was not taking care of my piercings as I should've been, despite carefully following the instructions from Salomé/the aftercare card I was given from her during my prior appointment. I totally understand giving customers feedback and tips on best practices, but you shouldn't be condescending to paying customers. I didn't feel 100% comfortable asking questions about how I should be treating my piercing because of this interaction. This person also suggested that Salomé didn't have as much experience or expertise as them, which made me feel even more uncomfortable. I am not sure I would go back to this specific piercer. **I would still choose to go to Mission Ink should I be interested in getting a new piercing or tattoo despite my recent experience 😊 Calling ahead is important because it can get quite busy! I would recommend Mission Ink to other people, weekends are best though. Highly recommended booking an appointment with Salomé!
