Got my Tragus Pierced there 4 months ago. I had to wait a long time in order to get it pierced. i sat in the front room for probably an hour. (-1 star)
Once i finally got into the room it was great. i had Neff as a piercer and he really calmed me down . very professional good sence of humor. I was allowed to have other people in the room with me too which was great.
Would definately go back
super friendly staff. i bought another stud for my lip and the guy offered to change it for me. 5 stars for that
minus 1 star for the very little selection of lip studs.
You can see by my photo's that "baby got back" literally. So you can also tell I've been going here a while to have work done on this piece.
I've got quite a few tattoos but none as extensive and detailed and body encompassing as my back piece.
It's lilies, an ankh with my name in hieroglyphs in it, peacock feathers and a portion of this piece also served as a cover up.
With the exception of the first sitting (which was four hours long for the outline) I go for two hour sittings at a time and by the time I leave I'm stiff from sitting, laying or arching and a little deaf from the music screaming thru the speakers. But, Tasha is worth it. She is patient, creative and way talented. The only downfall to having work done by Tasha is she is in high demand. She does a good job of working with you but you have to book early and it helps if you are flexible. (Again, literally lol)
I've got a long way to go before this is complete and I don't so much care if the numb feeling in my butt cheeks never goes away or if the hearing in my right ear is compromised - my back is gonna look dope! (as my daughter tells me!)
I love that my tattoos give me the freedom to signify things I love, things that are precious to me, bits and pieces of my life or just random things I think are cool. I love that I'm turning 40 this year and my kids ranging in age from 22 down to 12 think I'm a pretty cool mom yet most of the corporate "up-tights" I work with think I'm Mrs. Cleaver - yeah, right. HARDLY! I love that my 19 year old daughter wants me to be with her when she gets her first tattoo and that my 12-year old twins say "when I'm older I'm gonna get a dragonfly tattoo like you"
Life is sweet and tattoos rock!

Got two of my three tats there (#1 and #3.) My first one was done by guest artist "Gonz" and came out really nice, healed well, and was happy. He was quick, true to my design and used a great color that matched perfectly.
My third tat was done by a resident artist who was moderately rude. I discussed my design with them and ended up letting them know that I would shrink it so it would work. They refused and said they'd do it and had what I assumed was their apprentice do it. He did an okay job, but the lines were a touch wonky. Thankfully this didn't translate over to my tat. But the artist did such a strange job coloring the work that I was scabbing very strangely, and scabbing blood over the entire piece instead of blotchy scabbing of puss or color I'm used to. I cared for this piece the exact same way that I did the other two, and took extra care because of the scabbing. The tat healed blotchy and there are places that just do not have color. I don't even want to go back because of how aggravated the artist seemed to do it.
I'd pay what I paid for Gonz (more than what Gonz actually charged me, to be honest) but the resident artist that did my work really was pushing it's worth.

I just got my labret pierced. The guy who did it was Neff, and he's their only piercer at this time, I believe.
He was professional, very clean, and gave all the correct advice on how to take care of the piecing. His bedside manner was fantastic as he used humor to make it a "painless" process.
Frightening and didn't get what I paid for!
I wish I found this site before to meet those liers, I felt ambushed, ripped off, lied to and have never experienced such pressure and manipulation. There was no estimate, the price keep changing no matter if you give a design on a piece of paper. Employee "DAVE" say to be a subcontractor with their own rules and policy,They never give any proposal, estimate or receipt by writing when the performance of the body-work comes over $700.00 probably because they really don't care about any unhappy client who may take at Civil Court. In the Web-site attached: YELP.COM says accepting credit cards but "DAVE" decided to do a site job with me, with the amount $700.00 "CASH ONLY" so does mean you aren't paying or reporting taxes when you have a profit. I know you have diferrents sites attach to you web-site and let me tell you something about you rules however You Can't Pass Over Federals & States Rules. Do not consider a business card like simple receipt. When I called to reschedule my appointment after 1 hour they said sorry you "LOSE YOU MONEY" no money refunded. the cashier I believe that''s his position said by phone to print a receipt may take 10 to 20 minutes,when I arrived after 20 minutes and he acted rude with my person. You guys think that you always may dealing with teenagers but you're Totally Wrong!!
In a good faith I decide to make artistic work on my body on my arm that's why I let my $50.00. like deposit and you never returned back or give a second appointment, you never give any advise about you fraudelent business you said only cash when in yelp.com you set up credit cards payments. what I tried to do was schedule it however didn't work, I decided to spend what you requested on the beginning $700.00 and something else but didn't work. That's no a problem, probably I lose $50.00 but you lose you credibility with the everybody. I'm feeling happy now to don't give you any work in all because without any proposal or receipt you may take more than $125 x per hour to get it done something that may takes less than that, In their web-site says "ask. ..........Sorry Rules are Rules and that is all we play by. Point/ Set/ Match".

There's really no way to describe Chad, he knows his stuff! I got my anti-tragus done by Chad. He's a great guy, he gets a little cocky sometimes but he's really confident in himself and that's a great thing to have in a piercing artist. He's an amazing artist, he knows a lot of people and if his artists can't do what you want (which rarely happens) he can refer you to the right person.
I buy all of my jewlery from his shop, they really have the largest collection around and its fairly reasonable considering the variety you are able to choose from. If you don't see what you like in the displays, he has catalogs of jewlery that you can browse through.
I went to Final Sin the other night to talk to an artist they have there named Nick or Nicky, as he introduced himself to me. I was turned off pretty much instantly by his overly cocky attitude and conceded demeanor. I showed him my piece that I was looking to get tattooed and was told that I was "sorely mistaken" about the size and placement of the tattoo. He wanted to brag about his artwork and 18 years of experience while making me feel that I knew nothing about tattoos or art (I have many tattoos and have been an artist all of my life) and repeated a few times that "skin is different from paper." Well, DUH! That is why I am coming to you for your artistic input and opinion on my piece. He went on to say that he would have to make the face of my detailed pinup piece larger than to scale and wanted to distort it because of the detail and potential of it running together over time. If you are a good tattoo artist you would never have to distort a piece of historical art to make it easier for you to tattoo. He wanted to thumb through his book with his shaky hands (red flag right there!) to show me some of his very simple pinup work that looked like a beginner tattoo artist could have done. The big clincher (aside from his awful energy that I can't imagine anyone would want put into their skin) was the bowling pinup girl that is in his book at the shop that looked like she had an extra chromosome!
I ended up taking a referral from a friend to an amazing artist in Oakland and am overjoyed with the results. She looks perfect...just like the original piece.

Got my first tattoo here (as a wee one of 18) done by Natasha. This was back when the place had been open maybe a few months. She did an amazing job making me as comfortable as possible and I was extremely satisfied with the work I received.
Since then I have been back to stretch my ears, more than a few times, and bought numerous pairs of plugs (I always seem to loose one of the pair). The prices on plugs can be a little expensive, but they have the best selection in concord.
I am happy to see that they have grown so much since they opened, they definitely deserve their success.
I got a nostril piercing for just $40, including jewelry. When i showed up at 12:30, the piercer wasn't there, and when i came back at 3:00 i had to wait awhile, but he still gets five stars because he's amazing. He's pretty crazy, and talks very fast, but he's entertaining and he's good at what he does. His work area is very clean, and he does his best the make your experience better. My eyes welled up and he gave me a tissue to make it better. He's so helpful--even said that he'd give me more saline solution free of charge if i ran out. Definitely go to Final Sin for piercing.
Final Sin is amazing! All of their tattoo artists are talented beyond belief, My favorite being Natasha, who is the only person I plan on tattooing me for life. It's amazing what she can do on skin. really beautiful. Chad, The Owner & Piercer, is awesome. He always tells you everything that he is doing, makes you feel really comfortable, & is funny as hell. No matter where I live I will always go to Final Sin. It's clean, professional, & just all around great. It's a fully custom shop. No Flash. & they have a really large selection of jewelry, especially Organics. Go there.. or you'll be sad you missed out on body mod awesomeness. ;)

Final Sin is the best. My friends and I are honestly there almost every week getting something peirced or checked out by Chad. He's so helpful and efficent and professional. Not to mention hilarious. We always have a great time when we go to FS. We've gotten tattoos there and the tattooist sthere are so amazing and friendly as well. I've been to other places and I just wasn't happy with the people and service. I'll be going to Final Sin foreverrrrrrr. You can't get rid of us Chad! Hahahaha.
I have never personally had any work done here but this is the first place I take any friend when they are thinking of having a piercing/tattoo done. The shop looks amazing and has very clean, neat work stations. The staff have always been nice/funny and most importantly it feels really welcoming there, not like your standard wham-bam-thank you ma'am tattoo and piercing shop.
Final Sin is Wonderful!! I have gotten 2 tattoos from there and Storty is the best of the best. She did a great free hand piece on my anckle and i love it!!!!
great work with shading and just everything!!!!
