Ember pierced my triple forward helix and I would recommend her to anyone! Her space is very clean and she handled my piercings very professionally. Everything went quickly and smoothly.
Great service, really helpful and understanding. I got snakebites here (my first piercing beyond ear piercings) and theyve been really helpful throughout - especially Denali! Even when I mess something up at home, its been easy to schedule an appointment quickly and get it fixed up. And my piercings look great! :) Appreciate the work they put in.
Chameleon ink can be busy though the wait is worth it in my opinion. Their piercing is done very well and the selection of available jewelry is more than enough (they even provide anodizing for many pieces!). Theyre also kind about checkups if you are worried about your piercings condition or healing progress. Id recommend booking an appointment ahead of time to find a time that works well with your schedule or you may end up waiting quite a while.
I was there to get a piercing and the experience was exceptional! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and more than accomodating. The lead piercer Denali was not only more than professional but she also had an amazing way of making me feel calm and assured throughout the whole experience. This was by far the best time I have ever spent in any Tattoo and Piercing shop but far and away the whole experience was made perfect due to the level of service offered by Denali. She is remarkable and you should definitely pay her a hundred times what shes worth!!
Denali was so friendly, professional, and FUN. I had come in to just get a nostril ring changed, but she ended up finding my old septum piercing still open! I had been wanting to get it repierced (its 10+ yes old) but she easily got gorgeous new jewelry in. Everything was clean and organized, it was quick and easy, and I was so thankful she was willing to restore an old piercing I thought Id lost.
HUGE shoutout to Denali for doing such an awesome job with my piercings! She changed my monroe jewelry along with getting a new piercing as well. Super friendly environment!
My daughter was super nervous to get her ears pierced. Denali was so patient, kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!
Went with my best friend for her naval. Staff was fantastically friendly and definitely following covid protocols. Highly recommend.
Got my ear lobes pierced here by Denali, it was awesome. Super easy and fast, great employees all around :)
Denali is great with piercing minors. She has a whole consent conversation and really makes them feel in control. Thanks!
Denali is so amazing and sweet! I got my second lobes pierced by her about 5 years back and the experience was 10/10. She made me feel at ease and comfortable. She knows her stuff, and is very good with anatomy and piercing. She goes above and beyond to help her clients even years later. I recommend her to anyone who is interested in getting a piercing! I would have to say she is the best in town (and beyond) ❤️.
I came to this place to get a belly button piercing and a monroe piercing. Different times of course and the lady who helped me was Denali. She is professional, friendly, clean work area, very great to have your first experience in these pericings. Would recommend this place to everyone I know:)
Best experience ever! I will be going to them for my tattoo and piercing needs from here on out 😁 went to get my 7 year old sears pierced for the first time and Ember was amazing so caring, super gentle, and she made my daughter super comfortable PLUS she did an amazing job on my septum! Highly recommend
I got my nose pierced by Ember! she was very nice and did it super quick! didn’t hurt at all. Highly recommend:)
I went in for a septum piercing and Denali did an awesome job and was super helpful! Clean establishment and friendly service!
Denali is a bad piercer and a even worse person. don’t go here unless u want her to home wreck your family. the other piercers are wonderful and talented
Denali was really friendly, the piercing was fast, and she was super helpful with caring for it afterwards.
I would recommend Chameleon to anyone! Ive been tattooed there and has my nose pierced there with multiple jewelry switches and everyone has been so incredibly kind and very helpful. Definitely stop by Chameleon first!
I called a day ahead and made what I thought was an appointment for 12:15. I showed up and it seemed like they were juggling a lot of piercing clients at once. I waited until about 12:45 until I got pierced. The artist mentioned that she was going to take another customer before me because she had an appointment. As far as I was aware so did I, and I was in the books. I wish they had told me on the phone I was being sqeezed in last minute so I was prepared to wait that long. Once I did get my piercing it was very painful, and I started crying, and honestly my artist seemed really annoyed about it. This was my second time coming here and it will be my last, I am just super displeased with the entire experience. (My piercing is cute tho 🤷♀️)
Ive had awesome experiences with Denali and piercing. Really nice comfortable temperature in there & really nice customer service on all fronts!
They were GREAT, they have a good selection of body jewelry, theyre helpful.Denali was absolutely AMAZING, she explained everything, answered all of my questions, she told me everything she was doing as she was doing it and made me feel comfortable with the whole piercing process.I will definitely recommend them and I will be going back in the future.
Excellent communication from start to finish. Staff is friendly.Kamile Jordan was exceptional. Beautiful artwork and extremely professional. Couldnt be happier with my tattoo. Looking forward to more!
I got my second ear lobe piercings done here by Denali and it went super well! She was super nice and did a really good job on my piercings and made sure that they were where I wanted them to be. She also did my friends nose piercing which also went really well. I highly recommend getting piercings done here!!!
Denali was absolutely fantastic with my 15 year olds 1st piercing. My daughter was very nervous to go in but those feelings quickly faded. Id completely recommend this shop.
My daughter got her eye brow pierced they were very professional and friendly.
Both of my piercings are infected. Also Ive talked to other multiple people that have been pierced here and theyre piercings are getting infected. I dont care if they try to tell you that its your fault for not cleaning it but Ive been pierced at old school tattoo many times and none of mine ever ever got infected but when I did my two here they were both infected even after 7 months. I may be hated for this but I dont want other people going there and wasting their money.
Got my belly button piercing!! 😍 They were so nice and professional..
Got my ears pierced here and Denali was absolutely fantastic! I am not great with needles but she helped me get comfortable, talked me through the process and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend Chameleon!
Had my nose pierced here by Denali. The staff was very helpful and friendly towards me. Denali is very sweet and knowledgeable. Would 100% go back for any piercing needs!
Did a Facebook poll to get Bellinghams thought on the best place to get a nose piercing in the area. It was an overwhelming response for Chameleon so that is where I went. Denali was excellent. She is very professional, answered all of my questions, and made fun conversation for the duration of my visit. The piercing experience itself was quick and precise. I would definitely come back here for another piercing. Also there were no overpowering smells like some shops have. COVID protocols are in place and the staff are being safe.
Great crew all around, wonderful and professional artists and a cool shop. Been tatted and pierced here and will continue to come back!
Got dermal piercings done by Denali and her customer service and skills were outstandingly awesome. The location of the piercings were in a non-conventional location but Denali was patient and skillfully got the piercing done in the exact location I wanted. This is a clean facility with a decent amount of private rooms for whatever ink or piercing you desire. They even have natural stone jewelry in their selection.
Ive only been here for my piercings so I can only speak for that. The staff here are professional and want you to have the best outcome. Ive gone to them whenever I had issues with piercings and they dont overcharge me to simply change out jewelry. I appreciate how quick and sanitary the piercers maintain their practice as well.
They were great- Denali was so helpful and made me feel at ease the whole time!
I saw Kamile for my tattoo. First off her art and creativity is amazing. We ended up adding more detail to the tattoo, which was unplanned but we both agreed would look best!The shop is SO inviting. Very clean. Good music, of all genres. Each artists has their own little private room which is perfect for more revealing tattoos.I will most defiantly be returning!
Shawn Franklin did a great job on my sons old English tattoo and shaded in 2 other of my sons name very decent price and he did excellent job. Very polite and will definitely be going back and i totally recommend shawns work . The 2 tattoos on my arms were done bye someone else shawn did great job cleaning them up for they were pretty choppy and shaded them in thanks shawn .
As always wonderful staff and sanitation practices. Never had an issue with any of my piercings from the shop.
My housemate and I had our noses pierced here a few weeks ago. It was a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our piercer, Denali, did an awesome job helping us pick out jewelry, doing the piercing and educating us on aftercare. Highly recommend.
They did well enough in my lobe piercings (14g) but the bar they used was too small and I just learned that by going to a different piercing shop. They’ve been healing for 5 months and I just now learned that. Because the bars are too small they won’t heal, and I can’t put my new studs with longer bars in because they’re too tight to take out without tools.
Good service must have an appointment
So awesome! Denali is a great piercer. Ive had my nose pierced before and it hurt way less with her! Definitely coming back soon.
Great place, my girlfriend and I went to get her ears pierced. We walked in on a Saturday and despite it being busy the staff was super helpful and moved quickly to make sure everyone got helped. There was a bit of a wait but nothing unreasonable only about half an hour. Denali Dawn was our piercer and she was very nice. She did a great job of relieving tension (as my girlfriend is very afraid of needles and was terrified. ) I highly recommend the place and piercer. It was a great experience and I would go back if I decide to get another piercing.
Extremely clean environment and amazing service! Would highly recommend for piercings :)
Was able to get my jewelry changed super quick, within ten or 15 minutes total. The artist was extremely sweet and made it almost painless. The jewelry is high quality and Ive had zero problems and its been a few days - no more redness or irritation. Thank you!!
Saw Denali Dawn and she is amazing! Explained the entire process and answered all the questions I had. If you want a piercing, I highly recommend Denail Dawn!!!
Bought a lip ring here to change mine. Lady insistent on it being the right size. Thought they would be right as they pierced my lip back in January. Got home and it ended up being to big to fit in my piercing. My lip closed up and they really didn’t wanna give me a refund. They said they refunded my card. So far no pending deposit for a refund so we will see o guess. I don’t recommend getting any piercings from here. Go somewhere else.
Love this place. Cool staff with a comfortable welcoming atmosphere.
Had two helix piercings done by Denali, she was really great in helping me plan the placement so that when they are healed and I swap the studs out for hoops they lay well and dont overlap by putting on some fakes over the marked placement options so I could see what I ideally want them to look like. She was very professional and invested in making sure it was exactly what I wanted and that they would be done properly. I was just a walk in and it was super quick to fill out the paperwork, get the piercings done, and finish up; about half an hour. Highly recommend Denali at Chameleon, really looking forward to going back for more
Was helped quickly and the person who helped me was knowledgeable and efficient. Also got my my ears pierced there last year, went great and was super easy. Not the cheapest, but worth it! Would recommend
Love Chameleon! Ive gotten all of my cartilage piercings done here throughout the years. I recently went in to get some jewelry exchanged out of my tragus piercings and was helped by Ember. She took me back right away and was friendly, professional, and quick! Will definitely be back for all of my piercing needs.
Loved this place I have brought my ex wife and new girlfriend to see Denali and she is the best and I will pay her no matter what
Friendly, knowledgable and courteous staff. When a tattoo/ piercing shop is busy thats always a good sign. Lots of repeat customers were there. Denali Dawn was my piercer and she was great! Very informative, thoughtful and legit. Ill definitely be back for more! 😈💋
❤
Great shop! I’ve had a couple larger tattoos done by Mark and love them. He’s a super nice chill guy. I had my nose pierced by Denali and she was awesome and somehow made it barely hurt. I wanted to immediately start with a nose ring but she did a great job explaining why you should start with a stud. She’s very knowledgeable.
Best spot in Bellingham to have to have your skin poked!
Ive gotten two ear cartilage piercings here, and both have healed beautifully. They were placed in a way that really suits my ear anatomy too. I especially appreciated the one I got done by Natalie. I didnt like the way the jewelry looked after seeing it in my ear, and she changed it out for me right away to one I liked better. I should have known what I would like initially, but the way she went the extra mile to make sure I was 100% happy with the piercing was so nice.
Friendly service
Absolutely amazing artists with great customer service
Ember is amazing
Denali Dawn is an amazing piercer who knows her stuff! Muchos gracias for all of the help removing my piercings and information. 💋
Got a Groupon for here and was worth the drive from Arlington! The piercer was informative, friendly, FIN!, and professional. Very gentle and quick. My now piercing was done well and she wanted to make sure placement was where I wanted. Even encouraged me to speak up on finding the right placement, and being someone who has had many piercings, thats a rare thing!Even without the Groupon, the piercing price is amazing and affordable, and I suggest getting the aftercare solution for piercings there. Very affordable and you wont spend time finding saline solution for a similar price elsewhere.Future piercing needs will definitely bring me back to Chameleon!
My first piercing didnt go so well but I went back in and theyve really good care of me! Denali is amazing!!
I have gone here for 2 tattoos as well as a nose piercing. I absolutley love everyone there. They are friendly and informative. Mark Keller who did both of my tattoos is amazing and does amazing work. He takes his time to male sure you get exactly what you want.I recommend Chameleon Ink to anyone that asks me where i go and will forever keep coming back.
Came here for some new jewelry for a piercing I had had done elsewhere, received excellent and prompt service by Denali, she was very patient and gave me the exact customized jewelry I wanted. I decided to install it myself at home, and she was very sweet, she said if I needed to have it put in by them, or the size wasnt correct, to come back and see her. No problems putting it in myself, but Ill definitely be back to purchase more jewelry from them in the future, and will recommend to anyone I know looking for a high quality, reputable tattoo and piercing place.
My 16 year old daughter had an industrial bar inserted into her ear and the staff at Chameleon Ink took care of her - informing us of the process in detail and explaining the healing and care process beforehand. They ensured that my daughter was comfortable while inserting the bar into her ear. After wards they provided us with everything we needed to keep the ear clean. I recommend Chameleon Ink if you are considering a piercing
I got my nose pierced Wednesday and I am so happy with it. Denali Dawn is the best person ever. She saved me money by piercing my nose were I used to have it pierced before to save me money. She could of just did a new pierced and took more money out of me but she didnt. That made me really happy. And she was so gentle it didnt Hart at all. She helped me pick out the best nose ring for me. I felt really welcomed once I walked in. It is really clean. And I will be going back to get more things done and will be telling everyone about how good of service u get and how good Denali Dawn does. If u want a piercing done go here. Thank you so much for thinking about me and not my money.
My family and I have visited Chameleon Ink several times over the last few years and always left happy! The staff is very inviting, helpful and knowledgeable. Ive personally, only had piercings done. But most recently, my sister in law had her first ever tattoo done there and she loves it! I must say, this place is by far the best place in Bellingham/Ferndale area to go for both body piercing and tattoo work. After trying out a CPL different places, one in Ferndale, and one well known place (no names), I will loyally recommend Chameleon Ink every time. Quality of service, Atmosphere and Fairly Priced. You guys ROCK!
Excellent shop but NO PARKING. Ive had ink done by both Todd and Christine and they did amazing jobs. I get compliments on the artwork all the time. In fact, Im planning a third in a few months. I recommend them to everybody, but the shop is metered street parking only. The neighboring lots arent kidding when they say they will tow you if you use their visitor spaces. More than one person has come out of the shop to find their car gone.
Employees were very nice and the space seemed clean, but I got a pretty mediocre tattoo, if not a bad one. I gave the artist a simple triangle design (cant remember who my artist was Im sorry, but he was nuts about coffee) and even though it was a simple stencil he still managed to give me all kinds of wonky lines and inconsistent widths. I understand a walk in can be pressed for time, but that shouldnt be at the expense of the tattoo quality. Ill have to have it fixed somewhere if fixing that is even possible, and mark it up as a bad first tattoo.
They are very professional, clean and explain exactly what they are going to do. Also what you need to do.. was told if I felt I needed to come back in anytime. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Awesome experience. I scheduled two tattoos for the same day for my first two tattoos ever. Mark was my artist and he is a really friendly and very talented guy. He made the experience more enjoyable and I could not be more pleased with the tattoos. The shop is clean and prices are great. I will for sure be returning.
Tried to ask questions on their Facebook messenger and was just ignored. They obviously looked at the message, but never bothered to answer my question. Ive been pierced there before by Denali and had a great experience, but clearly their media person has poor customer service.
Just as youd expect, Chameleon Ink is antiseptically clean; the staff is polite and punctual. Thats all good, but most important they have what is essential -- a good artist. No doubt everyone there is talented, but I have to say Mark Keller is a true artist. He understood what I wanted, drew it, tweaked it and inked it. You cant do better than that when its done for life.
Got two piercings done yesterday and absolutely love them! The entire experience start to finish was fantastic. Would highly recommend!
Got my 2nd piercing from Denali and shes always helpful and professional.
Denali was amazing!! I have been a few times and I’ve seen both Natalie and Denali now and they are both so great, easy to talk to and they make the experience so fun! This is now the only place I go to, even living an hour away because it’s totally worth it for me. Good pricing, AMAZING service!!
Go see Dessa, she rocks!
I just got a fairly large back tattoo from Mark Keller and it was a really great experience. He was friendly, and made me feel totally comfortable. This isnt my first tattoo, but it was the longest session Ive ever had to sit through and he made sure to try and make me as comfortable as possible. He was willing to split my tattoo into multiple sessions if I had needed it, and numbed me up a bit after I insisted on sitting through the whole thing. Ill admit I was a bit picky about my drawing, but he was totally gracious, he took the time to re-draw the tattoo until it was exactly how I wanted it, and he was very nice about it. The setting in the shop is chill, relaxing. But most importantly, I *LOVE* my tattoo, its beautiful. Hes an amazing artist, its well worth waiting for an appointment. I would definitely go back to Mark for another tattoo!
This is the best tattoo and piercing shop Ive ever been to. Their whole store has a positive air, very friendly staff, and a great selection of body jewelery (And not to mention great tattoo artists)! They are accommodating and are very compassionate towards their customers. If you ever wanna get a piercing or tattoo I highly recommend this place.
I got my tongue and double nose ring peirced and it was super quick and simple and she explained everything very well! Also made me laugh before the tongue which calmed me down a lot! Denali dawn was fantastic 10/10 recommend
Went in to talk about getting a tattoo - the barely interested person at the counter acted like i was interrupting their screen time. they took down my name and number and said an artist would get back to me soon. that 2 months ago and not a peep from anyone there. got the tattoo somewhere else instead.
Couldnt be happier with my experience! Chris Murphy did my floral piece, and I love it so much. Hes super easy and great to work with. And extremely talented! He did exactly what I wanted! I was terrified because this was my first tattoo, but he did amazing! Ill definitely be back!
I did extensive research around Bellingham looking for the best place to get a tattoo, and this is it. The only thing I was looking for was great artwork and delivery, which you will find here, but on top of that there is a friendly atmosphere and they have a pretty bad ass shop. My artist Mark Keller was amazing with his work, the tattoo turned out even better than I hoped for. He took my ideas and put them together perfectly. & was very informative, and he was very funny and fun to listen to. I highly recommend Chameleon Ink, and Mark Keller! You wont be disappointed. Thanks again Mark :)
Best place to buy all your body jewelry. I buy all my belly rings from here! Quality and affordable. Also, Denali is super awesome and helped me out today 😘 Thank you! I won’t go anywhere else.
I really want to like this shop, and have no input as to their tattoos, but every time Ive come here for piercing services, I feel deeply disappointed and used as a patron.I came a few months ago (like November 2017) and wanted my nostril hoop changed. When the girl was putting it in (it wasnt Denali, but a new girl), she broke the ball off. She mentioned it to me but said shed just make it tight and I was like whatever. About two weeks later, I had to remove it and let the hole close due to the jewelry having exposed nickel, which Im allergic to. I had bought the jewelry elsewhere, but having broken a piece, I feel as though it shouldve been caught that there was exposed metal.Today I went in to get my nostril repierced, and was again with the newer piercer, and I dont even know how to explain this. We went back to see if it was still open or if it needed to be pierced again. She stretched out the hole, but in the process cut part of my nostril, and I have a chunk of skin missing right next to my hole. In what felt like three different times of extreme pressure, she hadnt gotten the jewelry in, so I decided to just leave. I got home, and was able to put my own jewelry in effortlessly.I dont trust this shop whatsoever anymore, and highly advise that if youre looking to get pierced, you go anywhere else.
Well where do I begin? I arranged to have my ear pierced with Penny, an employee at the store. It was going fine but she seemed somewhat inhebreated, slurring her words slightly and swaying a little. The piercing was a bloody mess and on an angle however she assured me this was normal. I was pissing blood and asked her to speak to her boss when she claimed she owned the place (not true). My ears now infected and I wont be able to insert a piercing any time soon.
I went to visit Chameleon Ink for the first time on Wednesday. I was able to find the store by googling tattoo/piercing shops in my area. As soon as I walked in the door I was asked if I needed help. I really appreciate their friendly front door service and attention given to their customers. I was in need of meeting with a Body Piercer to ask questions regarding a new piercing I have gotten. That is when I was introduced to Denali Dawn. Denali not only was very sweet with her services she also offered to talk me into the back with her for some privacy without other customers around. Denali answered all my questions and even gave me a FREE piece of jewelry completely without charge and gave me tips on caring for my healing piercing. Her service was so friendly that I had to tip her and am defiantly going to return to their shop soon again.
My daughter had her cartilage priced and they did an excellent job making us feel at ease from the moment we called till we walked out the door. She has had a cartilage piercing before and it was constantly infected and sore. Not this time! She doesnt even know half the time that she has s new piercing. Very happy!!
A group of friends and I went to Denali for piercings and I absolutely love her! Shes so down-to-earth and genuinely nice. She makes you feel comfortable and professional, yet funny! Overall, Chameleon is a good place to go to for piercings. Awesome prices and awesome people!
Amazing experience! I got my septum done by Natalie today and she was absolutely amazing! Did a wonderful job at calming the nerves and walking me through the whole process! Very trustworthy personality! 10/10 would most definitely return
Got 2 new ear lobe piercings there, that was 2 months ago and it didnt get infected. The staff is super friendly, I recommend 100 % going there!
Chameleon Ink is awesome! The shop is clean and organized. Everyone was super helpful and made getting my first tattoo a great experience. Mark Keller is an amazing artist- he did my sketch exactly how I wanted it and walked me thru the entire process when I got it done! Id definitely get inked here again and recommend it to everyone! Thank you Mark!
