My 6 year old daughter had her ear lobes pierced here today by Renee and Andy and they were FANTASTIC! Renee did such a good job making sure my daughter was comfortable and knew what to expect of the process. She clearly explained aftercare and the jewelry - of which they had a very nice selection for little lobes. Overall a very warm experience for little kids who are a little nervous but are ready to make the leap. Renee and her team demonstrate why its worth the investment to have it done right by a professional!
Greatest piercing studio around! Super friendly staff and very clean environment. Staff took time to explain the piercing process, the tools used, and aftercare instructions to ensure all possible questions were answered. Definitely would recommend Splash of Color if youre considering a piercing!
Splash of Color is the only place I will take my family for piercings. They are experienced, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and CLEAN.Andy did my daughters piercing, he was phenomenal. We will be going back!
Ive been pierced here twice by Renee. Let me tell you, I have never felt so at ease with a piercer ever. I have quite a few piercings. Shes so amazing, warm, and professional. Shes very good at what she does. The shop over all is nice, the staff is nice as well. Very clean and high quality. Theyre also the only tattoo shop Ive seen still doing mask mandates and not doing under the mask piercings as far as covid goes. Theyre just wonderful and I highly recommend going there.
Everyone is very nice and their commitment to being covid safe and clean is outstanding!
I’ve gone to SOC for both my piercing and tattoo needs. Cali Thompson is by far my favorite tattoo artist ever. He is an amazing artist - his line work is SPECTACULAR and I always have a great time while in session with him. As for piercings, I’ve worked with both Renee and Andy. Both are super professional and fun to chat with. I’ve had some scheduling issues with the front desk but highly recommended this studio!
Had a really lovely expirience getting tattooed by Angie. The artist matching feature on their website matched us up
Have had nothing but the best experiences here! I think the best sign of a good business is repeat business and I plan on going back again and again. Great people, attention to detail, and so clean!!!
I’ve been a customer here since 2015. Their jewelry is of quality, they also have a good atmosphere. I love Renee, she is always upbeat, friendly, knowledgeable, extremely professional, and most of all caring. When we had a tornado warning, Renee contacted me to insure I made it home safely. She follows up with me promptly to ensure my piercings are healing properly. Anytime I have had an issue with a staff member, or a piercing my concerns are addressed accordingly. I always recommend Renee and Andy to friends/ family anytime they need a piercing.
I was so impressed when I walked in with how clean and how seriously they take CoViD. I was immediately put at ease because other shops Ive been to havent done nearly as much as they are doing and I appreciate it so much. Renee was kind and professional. I only needed a piercing looked at for irritation and I was in and out quickly. The jewelry selection is amazing and beautiful. Ill definitely be coming back for more piercings and tattoos.My only complaint is that its so hard to get ahold of them through phone calls. Ive called multiple times on different days and have only been connected to once. Its not a huge deal but it is inconvenient when Im trying to schedule something, especially last minute. Other than that, I had a wonderful experience.
I had an amazing experience getting my tattoo with Angie! She is an outstanding artist and did such a great job. Not only was the environment welcoming and friendly but everything was very clean and well taken care of. I will happily be coming back for my tattoos in the future.
Ive worked with Andy on stretching my ears and dealing with a sudden metal allergy for over a year now, and he recently did my septum piercing. He has never been anything short of kind, patient, and professional. Ive worked with a number of piercers who were skilled and knowledgeable, but Andy is one of the few who are skilled, knowledgeable, AND have excellent bedside manners (for lack of a better term). Im always comfortable and never feel talked down to or patronized.The front desk staff are always kind, courteous, and willing to answer your questions.
Perry Stratton has done two of my tattoos and he is SO great, very skilled, friendly & easy to talk to, and super professional. Perry was dedicated to making sure I got the exact tattoo that I wanted, checking in with me before, during and after the appointment to see if I wanted any changes made. I highly recommend Perry to anyone, whether it’s your first tattoo or not.
Renee was so helpful and professional while piercing both me and my friend. Every step of the piercing process was explained thoroughly which helped to ease any nerves. The shop is also very clean so I know that I am getting pierced in a safe environment. I would recommend Splash of Color to anybody looking for a quality, safe, and wonderful piercing experience.
I worked with Jason Salinaz for a tattoo on my arm and it was just a great experience from beginning to finish. The staff are supportive, helpful, and contact you around the time of the tattoo to go over intake and answer questions you may have. The studio is great and able to take deposits over the phone. The whole process is super flexible with payment.Jason as an artist is amazing and was a lot of fun to work with on a personal level. We talked through a few design ideas and came up with a great piece that Im proud to have. He really went above and beyond with the work, adding shading and technique to really elevate it. Im so happy with the tattoo. Hes also just a cool guy thats great to talk to when youre in the chair. Id love to get more stuff done with this studio and Jason. Thanks again!
My experience getting my nose pierced was so easy! I was super nervous but they all made it so easy and walked me through everything so there were no surprises! They also kept things as safe and clean as possible which I appreciated immensely!
Aaron did a fantastic job on working with me to create not the tattoo I wanted, but the tattoo I needed. I had a best friend pass away recently and I had come up with some ideas that I sent to him, but nothing concrete. Aaron spent the time with me prior to going under the needle to really create something that would be personal and really speak to what I wanted to express. He was also a pleasure to converse with and really get to know over the course of the tattoo, and I will absolutely be coming back to him for another larger tattoo.
Updated/edited from my first and one star review:If you go here I HIGHLY recommend you do **not** see Kenny. Terrible terrible experience and pierced where I didn’t want it 💔 was extremely upset about it. Still am saddened by it but life goes on...I had a second appointment with Renee and she was amazing!
From the start of the process to schedule the appointment to the day of the appointment for our tattoos, everything went great! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Cali, our tattoo artist, was fantastic! He is an exceptional artist and a pleasure to work with!
I love splash so much for both tattoos and piercings! Andy has done multiple different cartilage piercings for me and is always super kind, professional, and clean. I also just recently got a tattoo done by Angie and I was so happy with my experience; she was great at ensuring I was comfortable, and the tattoo itself is amazing! I would definitely recommend this shop to friends and family
I made an appointment here to get my septum pierced because I had heard so many positive things about Splash of Color. I was HIGHLY disappointed. Kenny was my piercer, and while he was knowledgable about his work he was EXTREMELY condescending and rude. He continuously snapped at me when I asked questions about the piercing and seemed agitated with me throughout the entire process. I was also told initially that the total cost of the procedure (including jewelry) would come to about $130, but when I paid, they told me it was actually $145. THEN I was charged a convenience fee for paying with a card, which brought my total to $154. Overall, I left the shop feeling like Id made a mistake. While the receptionist was kind and the environment was clean, Im not sure I will return here for any future work.
I went in to get a pricing done which I was a little nervous about getting. I had Andy and he was absolutely amazing! Andy was super professional and made me feel super comfortable the whole time I was there. Everything was super clean and the place is just beautiful. I will definitely be spending the extra money on the amazing service and going back in the future. If you are looking to be in safe hands I highly recommend coming here and meeting the amazing people who work there!!
Sadly, I have to change my previous 5 star rating to 2 stars. Ive been coming here for years. Ive had 2 tattoos and 3 piercings done here, and Ive even brought friends and family here for piercings. But I was not happy with my recent experience. The new guy there was very friendly, but the receptionist was very snarky and seemed to be in defense mode for no reason at all, even though I was very polite and respectful. I got the feeling that she was looking for a reason to snap on me.I came to Splash of Color simply to have my nose ring removed since I am having a medical procedure done, which you cannot have metal on for. They refused to remove it for me, since I am unvaccinated, but they said they would show me how to remove it myself. I had assumed that this meant that someone would be watching over me as I removed it myself. Wrong. All they did was a show and tell of how the nose ring opened, as I stood there in my mask. I could have watched a YouTube video for that.Also, as she was showing me how to remove it, she assumed I had a nose stud, so she was starting to show me the nose stud. I briefly pulled down my mask and then pulled it right back up, just to show her that it was a hoop. This literally took me less than one second, yet she snapped at me to pull my mask back up. I assumed it would be important for her to at least see the type of jewelry Im wearing so that she could show me properly how to remove it, since they refuse to remove it for you if youre unvaccinated. Without seeing my actual jewelry, she would have basically just been assuming what it is and could have been demonstrating on the wrong type of jewelry, which would have been a waste of everyones time. If youre unable to provide the service Im looking for, just say that.As a loyal customer for years, I did not appreciate the way I was treated. If this had been my first experience with Splash of Color, I would have rated it 1 star. I left an extra star, only because Ive had good experiences in the past.
Any tattoo I’ve ever had I’ve gotten at Splash Of Color. It’s a clean, professional studio with great talent. Many people complain about their steep prices, but the price includes the experience. You don’t feel nervous about the cleaning practices or the talent in the shop. You know you are always going to get a quality product. My artist is Cali, and I will never go to a different artist. He is soft spoken, kind, and brings you through the process step-by-step. He is a talented guy and prices you reasonably. If you don’t fill your whole time slot, he won’t charge you for the whole slot (unless your tattoo takes under the hour minimum). I’ve had nothing but great, professional experiences at Splash Of Color. I can’t recommend their tattoo services more.
Very friendly, easy to approach bunch! After being to a few shops, Splash of Color is by far my favorite. They had a super clean environment and knowledgeable staff!
Absolutely amazing! I love the ladies here hey are so kind, talented and informative. I highly recommend. THANK YOU AGAIN ANGIE!!!
Im sure theyre great, but I sent in a consultation request almost 3 weeks ago and havent heard back.
Ive received 4 tattoos and 2 piercings here and I love them! You really get what you pay for. The prices are not cheap but you receive premium service and quality work the entire way. I love Splash!
I contacted Splash of Color regarding a design that I would like. They quickly replied, recommending Perry as my artist. He was friendly and professional. On top of that, he did an amazing job!
This place is absolutely amazing! I’ve been to quite a few piercing shops and nothing compares to them. I went in to get both nipples pierced and Andy was so kind and comforting when I was scared. It’s very clean and all the rooms are fully separated with doors so you get as much privacy as possible. Definitely go here if you want a good experience and piercings that you won’t regret :)
I ended up going with a different shop for the specific piece I was looking for, but am leaving a 5 star for customer service!I filled out their contact form for a quote and the response I got was very prompt and friendly, and even though the artist I had in mind wasn’t available was given very helpful suggestions with links to the work of other available artists.Will absolutely be looking into again for other work in the future!
Had my septum done by Kenny, it was my first piercing ever but Kenny did a wonderful job educating me on the process along with aftercare and made me feel very comfortable. Great experience, Im very happy that I chose this business. Very friendly staff overall.
Got a tattoo here with Cali, turned out great! I was really impressed with the design and overall outcome. I actually passed out about an hour into the tattoo (not from pain, probably low blood sugar), and Cali was very kind about it and did not pressure me to continue if I didnt want to. Im glad I chose to finish out the session though since everything went fine after.
I have gotten two tattoos from Splash of Color, from two different artists. Both tattoos look amazing and the artists that did them were fantastic to work with. The shop is clean and they are all very professional. They are also very good at explaining things, especially the aftercare to make your tattoo look amazing once it heals
I got a tattoo. The woman, Cole, who did my tattoo was very nice. We sat and tweaked my tattoo for a good while and she was very encouraging for me to make sure every little tweak was what I wanted. Since this was my first tattoo I was a little nervous and she talked with me the whole time I was getting my tattoo to distract me from it. And I love my tattoo!
Renee pierced my conch, and I love it. I had it done before, but it closed over, so I wanted it redone. She was welcoming, friendly, professional, and fun. It was so fast, no pain, and so far is healing wonderfully. 10/10 would go again!!!
Had my nostril pierced a couple of years ago and Renee was fantastic. Just recently got a tattoo by Cali. Great experience. His design was spot on from the info I gave him. Looks great. Going to be booking another appointment soon.
I got my helix pierced and the piercer (Andy) was great!! the piercing was quick, simple, and very clean. The jewelry selection is great. I will definitely be getting more piercings from here.
I love the atmosphere in Splash of color. Everyone is always so nice and helpful. The tattoo artists are wonderful and take great pride in what they do. I got my first tattoo there 5 years ago and I keep coming back! During COVID they have been extremely safe and clean, I felt very comfortable being there last week.
This was my first tattoo and I was a little nervous. Perry was awesome in helping me relax. His demeanor was very calming and he explained everything before starting so I felt very prepared. His design work is amazing!! He captured exactly what I wanted perfectly and I love them!! I am so happt!! I highly recommend Perry and Splash of Color!!
Nice chat with owner. Covid has taken its toll on small business in East Lansing/Campus area. Good to see Splash of Color able to survive and be booked up.Make your reservations now. Thanks for the Heads Up
They responded promptly to my email request for appointment, matched me with a great artist (Cole) that did an amazing job and explained everything as this was my very first tattoo. Everyone was professional and the studio was very clean and welcoming, cant wait to plan my next visit.
Andy is great- always is consistently nice and genuinely cares about his clients!!! Also a really safe space in terms of their COVID procedures and rules!
FANTASTIC experience here! Had 2 sessions totalling 6hrs with Jason and he was super nice, answered any questions I had about any of the random stuff I asked, and did such a great job on my tattoo as well! As long as he is still doing tattoos, I will be going to him and Splash of Color for any future work I have done!
Had my ears gauged by Renee and it was a great experience. I can not say enough good things about her and my overall experience. She took great care of me. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend! Ive had an ear piercing done here (07) and my two minor daughters have had their ears pierced here (in 16 and just a few months ago). Wont go anywhere else! They take the time to measure so it looks great, and they discuss all the aspects with you. Love that they did tandem piercing for my daughters...quick, easy and healed very well. Very clean, very professional!
Andy pierced my daughters ears along with Renee. Fantastic job. My daughter loved it. Great customer service, knowledgeable, and a great place to go.
Cali always does great work for me and I have gotten so many compliments on the pieces hes done. Splash of Color is always clean, friendly and professional.
Was able to call them and get my navel pierced the same week! They were super helpful and friendly towards me while there. I also ended up needing by a longer bar and they were able to get me in immediately for that as well! Renee was my piercer and Ill definitely go to her again if I choose to get any other piercings!
Receptionist was rude but the peircer was nice and friendly and listened to me talk lol
**update**They decided not to refund my half of my money. Told me it was my fault the piercing got infected and said they arent liable for anything. What a SCAM of a place and the OWNER and MANAGER are rude, and not very nice people. Do NOT GO HERE!I DO NOT reccomend this place for helix piercings. I got mine done 3.5 weeks ago and its is now so infected that Im sitting in the ER room again for the second time this week. I was told by my piercer that it was NOT infected and had put in a longer bar in top accommodate the swollen ear. I now have been on 3 different antibiotics, and might have to get a shot in my ear so they can drain the infection. I was told by the owner that it was the doctors fault at urgent care because they didnt prescribe the proper antibiotics, and only to have been told Id receive $70 back, and in store credit to get it repierced at a later date. Mind you my bill was $213 for ear lobes and my helix. We settled on half money back. I will not return and urge everyone the same.
Beautiful shop, extremely clean, with excellent staff. I highly recommend Aaron🙏
Woody did a great job in my tattoo. The place was clean and very well maintained. I would recommend the artist and shop to anyone looking for quality work.
Ive only had good experiences here. Ive gotten three piercings here, all have healed and turned out well. With my first piercing I got here (Monroe piercing), I had a serious swelling problem. This was a few years ago and I had no infection but the piercer told me I was probably the second worse swelling case he had seen. Again, I did NOT have an infection. Anyway, I had to go back three times to get a longer bar for my lip and these guys were always good about getting me in to do that ASAP and were so good to me during that time. Also got a tattoo here by Cali that turned out BEAUTIFUL! I would definitely recommend this place. Theyre safe, knowledgeable, clean, and really everything you could ask for in a tattoo and piercing shop!Only downfalls are the hassle involved with parking, and the fact that theres a 5% transaction fee if you pay with card. They do however have an ATM nearby. :)
I went in to get my belly button pierced this past weekend and was super nervous and unsure of what to expect, but the staff made that feeling go away with their kindness and they made me feel very comfortable! Kenny was super awesome and walked through the whole process with me and was very detailed, professional, and informative. Will definitely be coming back here for all of my piercing needs, I highly recommend visiting their location and checking out their services! Was a great experience, thank you Splash of Color staff!
I went to Splash of Color today to get pierced. The place itself was very clean, and all of the staff members I spoke to were friendly and welcoming. I was super nervous about getting pierced (got my nipples done), but Renee did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable. She explained everything to me as she was doing it, and made the experience as quick and painless as possible. I absolutely will be coming back to Splash of Color for my next piercing, and maybe a tattoo in the future! Definitely recommend it!
First experience, couldnt have asked for a better experience. Aaron took the design I had, and took it in my mind from a 10/10 to a 15/10.
Very deceiving... They’re super nice over email but when I went there to schedule a tattoo i was treated so disrespectfully they rubbed me the wrong way numerous times and made me so uncomfortable definetly will not be going here for any work to be done and i advise anyone who reads this to heed this warning!
I have waited since last Thanksgiving to get in to start my sleeve. It was worth it, but now I cant wait to go and finish my sleeve. March cant come soon enough!! 😁🤘All shout outs to Cali-Chris!!!! Thank you so much!!!! ✌️🖤🤘
Amazing experience! Perry is the best tattoo artist ever!! What a great guy!
Im glad to be your first princess albertina. It was a great memory. We survived and it looks fabulous. Much thanks.
Went here to get my first tattoo done. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the staff! Thank you for such a great experience!!
Loved, loved, loved my experience here. The interior was clean, the staff was amazing, and I am beyond thrilled with how my piercing turned out. Kenny made me feel relaxed and at ease. He thoroughly described the procedure and what he was going to be doing/how. And he made sure to let me know that he wouldnt pierce until I was ready. I will not go anywhere but here for piercings again.
Every time I go in Im blown away by their professionalism, and dedication to cleanliness and a job well done!
Andy was awesome once again! He always explains everything thoroughly, is organized, efficient, gives good advice and is very knowledgeable regarding my piercings! Splash of Color is my trusted go to place for piercings and Im sure they are the same way with tattoos. Would recommend!
I got a tattoo with Jason Salinaz, he was super kind and patient and helped me figure out what I wanted, and the studio itself was very clean and professional. It was a fantastic experience, thanks so much!
The cleanest tattoo place EVER! Jason is absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend this place enough!
The people all seem to have attitudes and were super annoyed with my questions. Man with long hair in bun was super rude and condescending. Would not recommend coming during covid.
One of the best piercing experiences Ive ever had was here for my Monroe.
I tried for a week to make an appointment and couldnt get anybody to email me back
No question, Splash is the best tattoo studio in the greater Lansing area.
Tattoo artist was great and made the experience good. Receptionist was rude when I checked in and out.
Great place. Andy was awesome.
Highly professional, vigilant about sanitation and cleanliness, friendly and good at putting a client at ease.
I’m a minor, and I went to splash of color to get a cartilage piercing. Renee (my piercer) did an incredible job, and my piercing looks amazing.
This is the cleanest tattoo shop youll ever walk in to. Perry is the best tattoo artist ever. Everyone is super friendly and awesome. What more could you want?!
Did not feel comfortable there. Not like the good old days. I believe that many business have used COVID as an excuse to be bossy and rude. I know everyone is trying to use caution but there is a way to do it. The artist was forthcoming about finger tattoos and we did receive our deposit back when we were told they wouldn’t last but the overall mojo there was meh.😕
Great place, very clean. Jon Leathers is an amazing artist! Look forward to getting more done by him
Very professional, they know what theyre doing and theyre damn good at it. They have dealing with Covid down to a science. On top of that, top class service. So long as I live here I wont ever get piercings anywhere else.
Very strange environment. Did not feel welcome. Bad vibes. Artist was honest about finger tattoos not working and I appreciate that.
Can’t say enough about how great Kenny was. I was dealing with the fallout from a bad experience at another salon, and Kenny was so kind and so professional about it. I’ll definitely seek Kenny out when I’m ready to get another piercing.
Very polite, professional, and just welcoming. Explained in detail about the piercing before hand! Kenny was great and we will definately go again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Splash of Color for anyone looking ro get a piercing or tattoo!!
Over the past two years I have had daith and nose piercings done here, by Rene and Kenny, respectively, and have had excellent experiences each time. The facility is clean and the piercers make it a point to open all packs in front of you, to guarantee that the tools and jewelry are sterile. Renee and Kenny both did an excellent job of explaining the procedures before piercing and then had an incredibly calming presence during the piercing itself. Aftercare instructions were clearly explained and both Renee and Kenny urged me to contact them at the shop or via social media at any time with any concerns that I had about my piercings. I 100% recommend this shop for anyone who takes cleanliness and care seriously with their piercings.
Just got snake bites from Andy, took maybe 10 minutes. He explained all of the proper aftercare and precautions well before it was done, and answered any questions I had. Very professional and laid back. He made sure everything was lined up how I wanted and explained the whole process and made it very streamlined and easy. This is my first lip piercing and it didnt hurt as bad as biting your lip while eating, and Im extremely happy with the service, Ill definitely be going back.
Love splash, always professional, extra care and safety measuers for covid 19! Not to mention my tattoo artist Calli, he is great! I love my new tattoo
Staff member was rude in the phone when I called to ask some questions, I was trying to get info on how they are scheduling during Covid and git attitude like I was bothering them, I just said forget it and thing up and made an appt at another shop!
I am 55 years old and decided to get my nose pierced. Was handled extremely well by my piercer, Andy. He explained EVERYTHING that was going to happen. Showed me EVERYTHING. Explained about the aftercare needed. Great place. Clean, friendly atmosphere. Will be getting tattoos reworked in the future.
Always feel safe here and love the work I get done.
Always a positive experience! Super nice staff and the cleanest shop Ive ever been to!
Great work, Jason does a great job. Session 1 done today, going back next month to finish it up! Cant wait!!
Not professional and talked to my cousin(a minor) very disrespectfully. As a business you should always be welcoming and professional, but this man belittled a minor who paid the downpayment for a appointment and made him wait. Don’t go to this establishment, they are very rude :)
Andy was absolutely fantastic with my thirteen-year-old and made the experience of getting her ears pierced painless. I highly recommend!!
Cant wait for them to reopen. Renee is amazing, and I want to trust her with any piercing I have in the future.
Andy did my navel and wow it was such a great experience! I will always go here for my piercings not just because theyre great and everyone is really nice but their jewelry isnt surgical steel, its really good quality jewelry. He is very sanitary and opened everything in front of me. Andy has been doing this for 12+ years and everyone there has 10+ years of experience. Andy along with everyone else is so informative with what theyre doing and the whole process as well. My friend that went with me and I will be going back soon to get more done. Great experience, great people and great atmosphere, I will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know.
Great crew of people and one of the best atmosphere to help with your tattoo and piercing needs
I had my nose pierced today at Splash of Color. The employee who pierced my nose was named Andy. Andy was very kind and explained the whole process to me. Andy helped me pick out my nose ring. Andy was very knowledgeable and very kind. Andy’s customer service was simply extraordinary. I would highly recommended splash of color for any piercings and I would suggest asking for Andy. I will be returning to Splash of color in the future. I am very satisfied with the service I received.
I just got a tattoo done with Jason and I was very impressed with both Jason as a tattoo artist and with the shop overall. They are really taking the health and safety of their staff and customers seriously during this pandemic while still being able to stay open.
