Metamorphosis

I got a tattoo from Joe Kelly. It was supposed to be a black panther with green eyes, on the back of my hand. I wasnt too unhappy initially, as the tattoo looked great when I left. The only potential red flag was that it took much longer than expected, almost 4.5 hours and Joe wasnt able to finish the full design. But he told me he would be good to schedule another session to touch it up and finish everything for just $100 more. That satisfied me and I left feeling good about my new ink that I had wanted for quite some time. With that being said, once the 2nd skin came off things went way south. All the details faded, about 75% of the color came out, and overall it looked like it was halfway done and like it just wasnt done right. There is no line work, the mouth area looked particularly bad, with the teeth just being empty splotches of untouched skin. I paid $500 and gave Joe a $100 tip for a faded gray, toothless panther that took 4.5 hours. At the end of the day, I am going to have paid around $1150 and have 7-8 hours of tattooing on the back of hand for what should have been a $500 tattoo that took 4 hours or so tops.

Uhm absolutely wonderful?? I’ve had my naval pierced in the past, which was a much longer process and a little more painful. Heather was so kind and made this piercing quick and painless. I’m super grateful! And as an anxious girl, everyone was super kind and patient. So, thanks guys! Looking forward to seeing yall again! 🙂

Jewelry quality is excellent with a wide selection. My pieces have lasted a couple years. They keep your sizes on your profile in their system so if you want to buy a new studs, it’s easy! Overall it is very professional and clean, great environment!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Staff, Disappointing Jewelry Quality I recently visited Metamorphosis for my first piercing as an adult, and overall I had a wonderful experience with the staff! The gentleman working the front desk, Joe, was incredibly welcoming, kind, and patiently answered all my questions, which I truly appreciated as I was unfamiliar with the piercing process. My piercer, Kristen, was a true professional. She made me feel completely comfortable and was very patient with me. She did my piercings exactly how I asked while also providing excellent professional advice on the placement. I couldn't have asked for a better piercer! However, I am disappointed with the quality of the earrings, for which I spent around $100. The prongs are incredibly sharp and snag on everything—my shirt, towels, and pillowcases—which is quite painful on my healing ears. My advice to anyone reading this review: Ask the staff which earrings they would strongly recommend or, conversely, which ones to avoid. I've heard from coworkers that they have a good variety, so I wish I had asked more questions about the durability and design of the jewelry options.

I got my second tattoo from Paul at Metamorphosis this week and couldn’t be happier. This place is worth the hype. I’ve been here in the past for piercings and they always do such a professional job. Paul was the first tattoo artist I’ve seen here and he is awesome. His lettering is some of the best I’ve come across! I love the vibes in the studio too. Thanks so much for the positive experience!!

Went to Metamorphosis for the first time this summer. Joe Kelly did the most amazing tattoo for me that no other place wanted to do for whatever reason. I wanted a 1967 red GTO convertible in memory of my brother, and he knocked it out of the park. I won't go to anyone else in the future. Unable to get a good picture of it due the curve of my leg, so you'll have to take my word for it...

Got a single piercing in my ear lobe here December 2022. They charged me $150 for an earring I could buy for $35 online, it took six months to heal, and it was done so crookedly that I still need help and a bright light to change my earrings in 2026.
