Got my daith pierced. Good fast and attentive service. Pricing is competitive. Piercing does include jewelry. Very safe l, professional and sanitary. Must wear a mask to enter inside (CV19). Cash is preferred but they do have an ATM inside.
Ive been gettin tattooed for three years. Im up to six as of yesterday. Ive only been a customer at Ink Link Tattoos for a couple months. Theyve already given me three insane tattoos and a slick piercin. Two of the three I got there, includin my most recent one, were done by someone with only eight months of experience. Im as satisfied and impressed with their work as I am with how real these guys are as people. Ink Link Tattoos. Frequent these guys!
I called before I went to ask how much daith earrings were. They gave me the price of $10. Steeper than what Ive paid before but decided Ive been to ink link before for several tattoos and went by anyway. Walked in and asked the guy if I could see the display of daith earrings. I didnt want a horseshoe but just a regular barbell. He stated theyre in the room with the piercer and suggested I get something already sterilized. Waited 20 mins and the piercer comes out and asks what I need done. I tell her and she goes to pull out the horseshoe earrings and I tell her I dont want those and would like a regular barbell. She pulls 1 out and says this is the only one we have and its missing a ball. Waste of time, waste of gas. Def wont be back.
So we won’t into Ink Link to get matching tattoos with my best friend. We went into as a walk in and Jade ended up taking us. Jade dug in way too deep with both of our tattoos. The whole experience was very rushed with both of our tattoos. Horrible bedside manner.When we called up there because it was a horrible tattoo, Jeff was extremely helpful and he genuinely wanted to help us make the best out of the situation.We went up there and when we walked in, it was a whole new experience. It felt welcoming and everyone was so sweet. We found out Jade no longer works there.Jimmy was the tattoo artist that fixed it. He was super polite, understanding and above all, what a true tattoo artist should be. He made it look like a whole new tattoo.Thank you Jeff & Jimmy. We love it.
I just called about getting a nose piercing. The person that answered was very professional and friendly. So when Im ready I will go in and get my piercing done.
While out shopping, I was introduced to one the the artists work through a client. After getting the info to this tattoo shop, I chose this shop to get my first tattoo. Unfortunately, when I called in to get their starting price, the receptionist was very short, telling me they dont do pricing over the phone and their store hours. I do understand that policy, however I felt that it couldve been communicated better. The receptionist sets the tone for the entire business and I no longer want to shop here.
Wanted to get my septum pierced, paid then she couldnt supposedly get it to go through, got my money back and went down the street, they had no problem getting it done and told me she was pretty much all the way through and done. What a joke!! Lol definitely will not be back there!! Piercings lady needs some training or something. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!
Ive been going here for two years and i got all 18 of my piercings done here! staff is so sweet and always helpful. they answer all questions and calm any nerves beforehand. would definitely recommend going here
So me and my best friend had a spur of the moment thought and wanted matching tattoos and mind you it was 11:40pmand we live about a hour away and we drove up there and they were so kind and very understanding they had two other clients they had to do so we gladly waited our turn while we waited their piercer talked to us and we had such a great vibe from her when it came time for our tattoo they took their time to make sure we loved it! Moral of the story we had a GREAT EXPERIENCE AND WILL BE GOING BACK FOR MORE TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS!!!
So my friend and I came in for a walk in matching tattoos. We got Jade as our artist, she charged us $100 each. We were beyond disappointed with the tattoo we left the shop with. So I called up to the store the following week, told them what our problem was, they told us to contact Jeff (the owner) He took responsibility for Jade’s mistake and told us to come in when they heal and they will fix them. When we came in for our follow up, literally every artist saw our tattoos and were baffled as to how she could let someone walk around with that poorly of a tattoo. The artist that fixed our tattoos was Jimmy and we can not even put into words how grateful we are for the time and effort he put into our ink. I highly recommend Ink Link, very professional and very responsible! (Before & after pictures included)
Took my daughter to get her septum pierced for her 17th birthday. It was supper fast and she was gentle. It looks great! Ive been using them since i was 13 years old for my own piercings. I have about 20. Love this place
This place is awesome! I was so nervous to get my piercings but when I got there the girl who did them was super friendly and she was very understanding and took things very smoothly when she pierced me. The deals are amazing and great prices! Then when I called a few days later with questions about my piercings they more then happily helped me with all my questions! Cant wait to go back and get some more piercings and then start on some tattoos!
My daughter and I went in for cartilage piercings. They were super nice and clean. We were able to watch everything be taken out cleaned and sterilized.
My septum was pierced uneven and incorrectly here. do not go here for piercings!!! they had a guy who didn’t know what he was doing and a woman had to supervise him. it was still done wrong, now i have to let it close and get it repierced.
When I called to get information about getting my daughters ears pierced, I wouldnt say the individual was excessively rude, but he definitely did not seem to want to answer any of my questions or lend any extra information that might have been helpful or soothing for a mother getting her young daughters ears pierced for the first time. Ultimately the poor customer service helped in the decision to take her, and my business, somewhere else. Its been my experience that if the customer service representative is not attentive and polite on the phone, the business and the other employees typically seem to have the same attitude. For me personally, that wasnt a risk I was willing to take.
Jimmy was awesome! Extremely pleased with his work. Will definitely be back to see Jimmy..
Chris funk is the best artist. Super informative. Helped me pick out the tattoo and where to get it at. Ive gotten 3 from them so far and Ive yet to have any complaints. Best artist in Gastonia for sure and super fun to work with
Very professional when you need a piercing fixed. Absolutely enjoyed the green hair girl who helped me.
Had my daughters no se pierced n Chris funk is working on fixing a very bad tatoo that someone gave me a couple years ago i might add hes doing a great job next is the color to it
Had my belly pierced here after being told by 2 other people the scar tissue was too thick, this chick done just fine getting it through, and even covered the scar! Very thorough, easy environment, it was quick and affordable. Ill be back for some ink 😊
Got my mom a tattoo here and it looks great
Yo Yo Yo, If u need a tat done right slide here, me and my boys literally popped up at 12 at night on da dot. nd even tho they were about to shut down operation for the day, they still took me in, treated me like we was long lost friends, best experience ive ever had plus my Tattoo is fire!! i love it! if u looking fo a tattoo go here just dont go before they close lol
Long wait didnt get the tattoo cause we got tired of waiting. Was told before we got there was a short wait and walk ins were welcome.
Love it friendly ppl real laid back chill type of place..leave ur judgements at the door type of place
I called in to inquire about tattoo pricing and the female receptionist rudely stated that “we don’t do pricing over the phone” and hung up. She could’ve offered a consultation, but because of this, i will not supporting this establishment.
Great atmosphere love my tattoo artist Jesse was great
Got my nose and lip pierced here. Clean and reasonably priced.
Very unprofessional business. Gave Anna a chance to do a small piece ( 5 inches across max ) and the piece took 5 hours. I was very disappointed in how long it took just for her to personalize the piece the way she wanted it. She did very heavy lines and shading on a FLOWER. I reached out to see if she could do a different piece in all color in hopes that she won’t be able to mess that up, but I cannot even get a response via the social media she is very active on OR her email that she has posted as her booking method. Prepare to only be attended to on their terms.
Chris is AMAZING. I will always go back just to have him do my tattoo.
Finally got one of my next tattoos and Im so happy with it, as usual with Ink Link. Ive been coming here and only here for almost 14 years and Ill never go anywhere else as long as their doors are open! They have the best prices and artists and always give me exactly what we discuss. The sunflower is the newest one, but any others you see are their work also. Its nearly finished but I could leave it like this and still be happy with it. Thanks Liz, youre the best and totally awesome and I cant wait to see you soon!
Kalvin is an amazing tattoo artist! I always have him do all my tatts!
Piercing Guy was fantastic .he has done all of my piercings. Only reason they got a 4 is because they allow foul mouthed trash in there
Emily was very nice and professional she did my 1st tattoo and I will definitely be back to get another from her
Long wait, but service was pleasant and worth it
Awesome place, friendly and welcoming atmosphere and I would recommend anyone wanting quality tattoos to visit this shop...
My artist was super cool and very helpful. I had a design in mind and she was honest about what she thought would work best. She got my approval for every little change she made to ensure my total satisfaction with the work. Everything was clean and organized. From watching the employees, most all of them seemed really high energy and fun. This creates an awesome environment. Ill definitely be back to get more tattoos done.
Excellent service, they dont discriminate against you if you dont know how to speak much English, Ill be back again💗
I love inklinks in Gastonia...the staff Was great and my tattooed were perfect and in great detail.
Love how fast I come in and out and how they are so friendly and kind!
Ive been going to this place for years! I never had a complaint. They are very sanitary. Afterwards, they always explain aftercare & prices cant be beat!
I got my second tattoo here yesterday the wait was worth the tattoo came out perfect!!
Was just in the shop, first one the walk in list, I know the shop gets busy, but it is beyond me how someone that is 4th on the list is taken back to be tattooed after I have sat there for an hour.
Got an amazing tattoo from Liz yesterday! It was one of her own designs and she did an amazing job. She is very clean and has a light hand. She made me feel at ease the whole time and is just delightful. Will definitely return to see her! My husband also was tattooed by Kalvin in the same room. Hes super clean as well and talented and an all around awesome guy!
My all time fav tattoo parlor.♥️
Verry bad service do not waste your time and money here go some were else all artists like to get messed up and tattoo on people
Cool as helll.
I wish I could give negative⭐s. The staff was rude, and not even helpful.We wanted pretty simple couples tattoos (lock and key)The first artist said they wouldnt do color, the second one told us that we should pick something from the flash they had on hand. The third said that the art we chose simply wouldnt fit in the available space.We drove 4 minutes down the road to Chaos Tattoos, and got exactly what we were wanting.Ink link is a joke now. I used to go there years ago, but now it seems like less of a tattoo studio, and more a place for people who think Tattoos are cool, to hang out!
Only giving 5 stars because of jesse by far best artist there jess E
Literally had the best experience.. aside from waiting around 2 hours BUT i was a walk in so it wasn’t that bad in hindsight. My artist did an amazing job and made me feel so comfortable.
GREAT NOSE PIERCING ASK FOR MICHALA
I liked everything about the place but the bathroom was soo very, very DISCUSSTING 💯💯 Someone needs to keep an eye on it and keep it CLEAN!!!!
Great environment and great artists
Jess is the absolute best! Great cover up work! She’s done a number of tattoos for me! Fast friendly and professional! Please see her for your tattoo needs!
Waited 45 minutes for a jewelry change, was told they were cleaning the jewelry and never was spoken to again. Everyone working was acting like they did not know what day it was. One of the artist made a highly vulgar comment to customers in waiting area. Piercer Eli complaining about not getting tips but literally took and hour to pierce four ears. People waiting were dissatisfied. Eli took a smoke break while multiple clients waited for service then proceeded to wonder around the shop ignoring clients waiting. I have sworn by this place in the past, but I will not be back. Do not recommend. Rude, horrible staff. I guess they have forgotten without these customers they have no job.. very sad. Used to be the most respected place in Gastonia but obviously things have changed.
Not enough people are reviewing for Donna, the piercer they have here.She’s amazing. She was so professional, yet so sweet. She made sure to take time to get the placement right on my lip piercing. She talked to me through the whole thing so it put my nerves to ease. She went over all the aftercare information.I’d definitely recommend her to others.
Super friendly people! lots of laughs and giggles, made my visit feel extremely comfortable. everything was clean and sanitary, masks must be worn while in it. 10/10
I went to Ink Link for a nose piercing and met Ashley (Eli)...mad cool vibes came from Eli and help awesome. During my piercing mad blood squirked everywhere it seemed and Eli never made me feel bad about. Eli made sure I was taken care of and no blood got on me and what did Eli cleaned up. After the second hole, blood decided to make an appearance and Eli held me down. No matter how many ppl were there to get pierced Eli wouldnt let me get up until I was okay to walk. I have a tattoo artist and now I have a piercer. Love EliThank you
The best place in gastonia to get a tattoo or piercing
Great place to get tattoosKnowledgeable staff here
Good ppl
Terrible. We came it at 7:15 was told 30 mins to an hour. Around 10:30 when I asked again, nobody seemed like they knew we were waiting. So we left. Some tattoo guy was roaming around the whole time talking abt being tired but then went off to do a simple tattoo on someone that came in after us. Theres obviously not much organizational skills here.
Got my 2 piercings and went back for my septum and the piercer was amazing! Didnt hurt bad at all either time!
Got my septum done here and my nipple rings changed out theyre great people and good at what they do 😁
Ive had 2 tattoos done here the staff is really laid back jokes around with you and they do a great job. So far its the best place Ive gotten tattoos at and I will go back for my next one.
I called ahead of time at 7:11pm asking prices and all that the women on the phone said the piercer stops piercing at 10:30pm so I was like okay cool. I head to the shop get there around 7:50pm I signed in and sat down the place is very dirty. The piercer came out at about 8:15 to get the next person in line and was like she was about to take a hour lunch so the next person was supposed to be pierced after the hour and then she was like she stops piercing at 9:30pm she had a very rude and ugly attitude and was very unprofessional wouldn’t recommend unless you want to risk getting an infection. I left because I wasn’t about to wait an hour for her to go on a lunch break when I was just getting a nose piercing.
Selection of jewelry was very limited.
Robert was so nice. I am having surgery on Friday and need the plastic jewelry because I cant have my metal rings in. Robert was so careful and easy that I didnt feel a thing!! Prices are great. Super friendly. Clean place. I am excited for when I am done and can go back for more metal rings to be put back in!!!
My wife and I came in so she could get a custom flash piece by Liz. It came out looking amazing! While there, I got a piece from Kalvins flash sheet. He did a very good job, as always. Theyre both very clean and I always love the designs Kalvin comes up with! Super cool people, cant reccomend them enough!
Dope Servive He bought his business needed my piercing back
This is the only place I go to get tattoos and piercings. The entire staff is friendly and the place is thoroughly cleaned and wait times are never long.
They are the bomb. Ink Link You guys Rock
Sanitation is 🔑 make sure they are doing so before procedures.
When I called, Monday afternoon, one of the workers or piercers had said that you can be 13 and get a nose piercing. When I walked in they said that you have to be 14. All the workers should share information and not tell customers that u can be 13 when your really have to be 14!
I feel like my tattoo could have been done better but I also understand it always cant be perfect either.
This place is the best for tats or piercings
My artist did an amazing job...
I got a nose piercing here about two weeks ago and I loved the atmosphere, I didn’t feel like I was gonna get an infection. The man who did my piercing was very chill. I was recommended to get my nose pierced here by my sister who has gotten a tattoo a few months before which looks amazing.
Love my nose piercing and belly button the person who done it was Robert ask for him he’s amazing
I got some work done today from Jess. She does great work. My daughter thinks it’s the best one I’ve got so far and I have tattoos from guys who have been doing it for thirty years. Check her out. You won’t regret it.
Quick and affordable. Robert was very nice and helpful with piercing.
I’ve had several piercings done here, and it’s where all of my friends have had theirs done. Though we’ve had different piercers each time they’ve always done a great job and it’s always been very pleasant. My go to for piercings. Also I had a friend get a half sleeve from ink- link and they did it for way cheaper than the other parlors around it it still looks fantastic two years later.
The last 7 tattoos I received from ink link are some of the best ink I have. Collin and Kalvin has done a lot of my work and their awesome. All my art from them has been painless and the lines are perfect with consistency, I wouldnt go any where else. Yes I agree the shop could be a little cleaner but the actual tattoo rooms are a lot cleaner. My experiences have been great there and Im planning to go back plenty more times.
Went there for Christmas and walked out 8hrs later to what looks worse than a jail house tattoo. I literally wanted to cry. Its on my forearm and its big and it now has to be fixed. I cant believe they would let someone do work like that. My 14yr old could have done better😠
I greatly enjoyed my first tattoo experience that that all because i had D as a tattoo artist. I went in nervous as hell but him and his apprentice(I believe her name was Emily. I could be wrong >_< SO SORRY IF I AM) kept me chill and relaxed while getting my first bit of ink. D is a pretty cool guy and pretty gentle with his hands. The environment was super chill and pretty clean. I look forward to my next tattoo and will definitely be returning. 10/10 would totally recommend
