I had an appt next door and decided to stop in. Great atmosphere, great work, and great price. Mike was cool to talk to, definitely helped me get passed my anxiety I was having ,I think I have 5 piercings from him, Ive been trying to redo my ear like before but It was swift, minimum pain and great placement. I've been to other places for Piercings and had a jerk or two but complete opposite at Tat Cave. I would regret going anywhere else!

Fantastic piercings for only $20! I had to get my belly button repierced because my last one (from another shop) got infected. My new one healed incredibly quickly and never got infected! The service here was super quick and everyone is incredibly friendly!
