Bella pierced my kids ears, and also did my nose piercing. She was so sweet, my girls absolutely adored her. Bella was so extremely patient, as each one of my girls after they got the first one done, didn’t want to get the second right away. She did not rush, she made sure they were comfortable. She did a great job at explaining the process to my girls, so that they knew what to expect from start to finish! Afterwards they all even took a pic with her despite tears of being newly pierced for one!! Thanks so much for your knowledge and great job on our visit! I’ll definitely be using her in the future!! ❤️

Destiny is amazing!! She’s very detail oriented, her work is always spot on, she makes sure you are comfortable and she takes her time to make sure your tattoo is exactly what you want! It’s never boring getting work done by her because she is great at keeping conversation and she knows how to make you laugh. She is over all a great person in the studio and out! Highly recommend you get work done by her!!

I have been following Destiny on social media for awhile now and have seen all the amazing work she has done, and every single piece of art work she does comes out AMAZING. Her line work is perfect, and she isn’t afraid of a challenge. Anything she works on comes out better than expected and I personally would recommend her to anyone looking for a good artist!

Destiny, I can’t thank you enough for the professionalism and cleanliness that you presented. You did a phenomenal job. You brought my idea to life. The footprint is my sons from when he was born and we sized it to what I wanted and that’s his name that my boyfriend wrote out. The anchor didn’t heal the first time ( done by a different artist.) you made that one perfect. I plan to come see you again for any future tattoos. You’re hands down the best artist I’ve had. Thank you so much.

Ive had nothing but great experiences with Grade A.I got my first tattoo a little over a year ago with Josh. His watercolor work is absolutely stunning and I get so many compliments almost every day.Destiny did my girlfriends tattoo a couple months ago. She was super sweet and super personable to both my girlfriend and I. Though I dont have any of her work on me at the moment, I absolutely will be booking with her for my next tattoo.Today I went in for a quick conch piercing with Bella. She did a fantastic job and I am literally so obsessed with it. She literally made me feel so welcome and at ease the whole time I was back with her.

Bella Mertz did my nose piercing and was so nice during the process! It’s been about 2-3 weeks since I got it done and it’s been healing fast and hasn’t gotten infected yet! She was super gentle and fast! Definitely would recommend her for your piercing needs!

I got my piercing in April and had issues with it all the way through October. I googled and did everything I could possibly think of to get rid of the infection. Mind you, I moved to Columbus so I couldn’t just pop in to get it checked out. I even went to a doctor and got antibiotics. I realized that the bar was probably too short for my nipple piercing. Finally, I had a chance to go back to this location. Bella is the one who helped me and she was incredibly kind and understanding. I was mostly afraid of going in and feeling dumb for not thinking that was the issue in the first place. She got me in and I was out within 10 minutes. Thank you so much Bella! Best experience so far at this location and I will be back.

I could never of imagined the beautiful idea she came up with .. super proud to show off my ink and refer everyone to her ... can not wait for our next session together!! She made my idea come to life and she is definitely going to be my permanent tattoo artist from now on! She is amazing and made me feel so comfortable with the whole session even though Im very sensitive with pain.

We booked with Josh at Grade A in March 2021. We had a vision and we described it to him. He designed it and it came to life. We are now doing his second session. Josh has been great and is very professional. Will be booking with him again.

With so many competitors tattoo shop out there, when it comes to getting a tattoo that has alot meaningful meaning. I would recommend GRADE A TATOO IN GLENDALE to go too for their professionalism and cleaness. In time like this, where we need to take precautions on where you as far as customers go to give business. GRADE A TATTOO IN GLENDALE take your health very seriously by using only quality products that are efficient on eliminating viruses on site. By wiping everything thoroughly after being use and having plenty of hand sanitizer, so that each customers can use and do their part from preventing the spread of viruses while in the shop. Destiny is the tattoo artist I would personally recommend for anyone wanting a tattoo there at GRADE A TATOO. For one, if its your first time getting a tattoo and dont really know what it is that your wanting. Shes very talented as far as freestyling your idea from your mind to the paper on visualizing your tattoo coming together before you actually get it on on you. Also, she uses the best quality product as far as ink and the tattoo gun kit, reassuring that her work will last for years to come without the worry of catching any infection from her product. Unlike most tattoo artist, its not about the money for DESTINY but the satisfaction on giving each customer great experience as well as quality work that they will be left satisfy with when they look at their tattoo. So, if your still undecided on where you would like to get your next ink therapy. GRADE A TATOO IN GLENDALE will exceed your expectations and believe me, you will thank me later that you did

Honestly 5 stars is not enough. I got a surprise tattoo from destiny and the amount of work she put into my tattoo was amazing. She was insanely gentle with me and told me great stories while recieving my tattoo. She was beyond amazing and confidently i deel as if i found my permanent tattoo artist. I will see destiny again 😁

If you are going to get a tattoo at this location choose destiny!! She is my tattoo artist and she does an amazing job every single time. She is super nice and easy to work with, she has done all my tattoos let alone my first ever tattoo and did so great I wanted more after that! She did an amazing cover up for my cousin Lydia who had a very horrible looking butterfly on her shoulder which after she was done tattooing me she was all on bored with doing a cover up for Lydia. She also does free touch ups in the 3 month period of getting the tattoo done which is super nice. She has a very nice clean space and I think it’s nice that you aren’t being watched by other people and have a wall on each side and having that privacy. I wouldn’t wanna go to any other tattoo artist other then destiny I definitely recommend her!

I got 2 piercings a few weeks ago and my one fell out. I went to Grade A to get it put back in as I couldn’t do it myself. I had Bella when she initially pierced them and she put my piercing back in for me. She was absolutely amazing and didn’t charge me! I am always going to come back!

I had the best experience at Grade A. Starting with the booking process (thank you, Nate) through three sessions of work on an amazing shoulder piece done by Josh. Josh is ridiculously talented, professional, clean, and personable. Can’t wait for my next tattoo with him. Highly recommend Josh and Grade A.

I wanted something to filll in the gaps on my arm and destiny designed something amazing that went so well with everything that was already there. And she was so nice, great customer service.

Destiny did a small carnation tattoo behind my ear, she was sooo sweet and so fun to talk to. I was nervous because I hadn’t been tattooed in 3 years and she calmed my nerves so quickly and gave me the reassurance I needed. The detail was SOOO good and i’m absolutely obsessed.

My fiance and I walked in on a Sunday for a tragus and rook for me and a septum piercing for him and the place was packed, but Rachel was able to get us in super fast.Angelo performed our piercings and he and everyone else were quick, and very easy to talk to. They were all so informative, answered all of my questions and they were VERY friendly. Thank you for the awesome work, everyone!

Bella was wonderful & patient when piercing my 4 year olds ears! She did NOT want to get the 2nd one done after bawling after the 1st. Bella let her take her time gaining her composure & courage. (I even snuck in a re-piercing of my 2nd holes to show my daughter I could do it too). She never once rushed or pressured her...just offered some candy bribes 😉

We had an excellent experience here! We were told to come here by other location . And thankful we did ! Everyone was super nice, personable, professional, and did an excellent job! My daughters were nervous and the gentleman who did all our piercings was excellent! I also got talked into by my daughters to get one so I chose the septum. Which btw only hurt briefly and really was not as bad as my daith or industrial by any means. Thank you again for the amazing service! We will definitely be back !

Eric pena is a VERY TALENTED ARTIST. I gave him an idea of what I wanted with inspiration from a few things he drew up a scetch and I was in love with it. His prices are well worth it. He is not heavy handed felt no pain at all! This was a fairly big piece I got and the healing process was so easy no major scabbing and months later it looks just as good as tue day I got it. Super happy with the results and will defiantly be going back for me. SI HABLA ESPANOL for all my Spanish speaking ppl

Review №80

I have been to this location three different times and have been very impressed every time. The guy that works at the front desk is very friendly and professional.The first time I was here I got a tattoo and I wanted it on my finger and some of the guys were telling me that long term quality of a small finger tattoo isn’t always the greatest and so I decided to get it on my wrist. I can’t remember who did it but he was very friendly and we just chatted while he did it. It was in remembrance of a friend who OD’d a few years ago and the artist was very kind telling me he was sorry for my loss.The second time one of the piercers was nice enough to put my septum piercing back in for me after I could not get it back in after having to take it out for an MRI.And then I was back today with my mom and sister and children to get my tragus pierced and my mom and sister got pierced as well. I think the piercer said his name was Stevie? (I’m terrible with names). He was very friendly to me and my mom and sister and even to my small children. I had called in beforehand to ask if we could walk in or if we had to make an appointment and the guy at the front desk said we could walk in and we’d get taken care of.Every time I’ve been there I’ve been extremely pleased with the service, just how friendly and professional everyone is, and even the cleanliness and environment here.Will definitely be back!Also whoever responds to the negative reviews on here, you’re the real MVP 🙃

Review №81

I wish I could give them 0 stars. I went in looking for a labret stud, and after waiting 10 minutes they tried to sell me a size/metal I cant use without even asking me. Another 10 minutes later the receptionist (not even the piercer) finally let me know they have literally no jewelry in the size I need, which seems highly unlikely. Completely unhelpful waste of time.I wanted to add, the piercer came out twice and never spoke to me, in spite of piercing people who came in after I did. I also asked about other shapes of jewelry (rings, nose bones) but was told that they had no 18g jewelry of any shape, size or material. The other location was never mentioned.
