Cuse Ink

Got a tattoo done here today by Shawn, and the tattoo isn’t the worst but it’s definitely not up to my standards. He told me off the bat he isn’t a color artist which is fine because most of the color looks okay. My issue is all of the lines are so shaky that it doesn’t look good, some of the lines aren’t connected and by the time I noticed was when I got home to wash the tattoo. In the tattoo itself there is a cross and the cross isn’t straight, the star doesn’t look like a star and some of the color does go outside the lines. The only thing he got down solidly was the lettering and his customer service (minus the aftercare instructions) he did do his best with the color for being a black and grey artist, but the 120 I paid wasn’t worth it for it to be fixed at another shop. Honestly would recommend going somewhere else Edited to add: it’s been a month since i got this tattoo and the lines are very inconsistent on the tattoo. Some spots are so light they look like they could fade in a week and others are blown out. I also have scarring in the star that isn’t shaped like a star. The color isn’t there in some spots and I could keep nitpicking, but I won’t. From what I understand Shawn is an apprentice- if I had known I would have said no to him tattooing me (I have had poor instances in the past with apprentices and this is another one, as he didn’t even mention him being an apprentice) but in my honest opinion- he needs to work more on fake skin or something else before tattooing a person again, it’s just so inconsistent he shouldn’t be tattooing on his own. Like I said a month ago, find a better shop.

My experience at this studio was a mixed bag. I had a fantastic outcome with my septum piercing, which healed beautifully. However, the navel piercing I received a year prior was a complete disappointment. It was pierced too shallow, leading to complications and ultimately rejection. After a year of waiting for it to heal, I had to get it redone elsewhere. This significant difference in outcome suggests a potential inconsistency in piercing expertise, specifically regarding navel piercings. If you're considering a septum piercing, my experience was positive, but I would caution against getting a navel piercing here.

recently had an amazing experience getting pierced by Rodney, and I can't recommend him enough! From the moment I walked in, he made me feel comfortable and informed. He took the time to discuss the process, answer all my questions, and ensure I was relaxed before starting. Rodney's expertise was evident; he worked with precision and care, making the entire process quick and almost painless. His studio was clean and well-organized, which further added to my confidence in his skills. What impressed me most was his attention to aftercare advice. He provided detailed instructions and made sure I understood how to care for my new piercing. If you're considering getting a piercing, definitely go to Rodney! His professionalism and friendly demeanor make all the difference. I’m thrilled with my new piercing and will be returning for any future work!

Baby teeth did a great job and gave a great deal on it. I'm definitely coming back for a bigger tattoo and travel 3 hours again

Perfect place to bring kids for ear piercing! We brought our 5 year old daughter to get her ears pierced and she was so comfortable the whole time. She shed a few tears after the first ear but was so brave for the second ear. The young man who pierced her ears was calming, he wore gloves, and everything was sterilized and clean. The staff were knowledgeable and kind, and answered the many questions I had. My daughters ears have responded so well to the piercing and she never once complained of pain after we left. I highly recommend bringing your child to Cuse Ink for their piercings!

GREAT experience here on 08/09/2024. Walked in to get shorter bars for my nipple piercings and in a whim decided to get my daughter’s nostril pierced. The person at the front desk was an absolutely WONDERFUL human being and boy oh boy what a contagious and kind smile. The piercer was straight to the point, but so gentle and accommodating. My kiddo was white knuckling the chair, but he was so good with her. Great pricing, quality employees and will absolutely be back!

I have had over 5 large tattoos done by Dashawn here and if I could give him 10 starts I would! This dude has great vision and just how he can draw something out is amazing! Highly recommend

Cuse ink is a great place for any tattoo, small and big! Very friendly and welcoming! Dashaun’s work is incredible! He did an amazing job on my inner forearm piece. Very patient, detailed and creative! I highly recommend Cuse ink and their tattoo artists!

I highly recommended Cuse Ink a few weeks ago, even when the owner, Chris, forgot my appointment and left me waiting for an hour, and then stopped to eat sushi halfway through my tattoo. He did a decent job and also graciously offered me $75 off my next tattoo for making me wait. Today, Katie and I arrived for her tattoo with Chris. We got there and he was not there. Apparently he doesn't drive and couldn't find a ride. Um, Uber? Lyft? As we sat there, the receptionist asked someone to pay for an Uber to go fetch him. Since our appointment was at 2:30pm, not first thing in the morning, there was no excuse for him not to be there. Make me wait an hour the first time, shame on me. Give him the chance to make Katie and me wait another hour, shame on us. So, we left and I messaged him and told him he lost my business. Attached is his completely rude and uncalled for rant. Just... wow!
