I had an amazing experience getting pierced by Velkys. She was incredibly professional, walked me through the entire process and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. My piercing healed beautifully thanks to her amazing after care advice.

Always an amazing experience with Illyana, I come in with an idea and without fail she knows what to do to take the idea to the next level. She’s always very careful about keeping things clean and sanitary and thorough with making sure I understand exactly what to do to heal my tattoos as best as possible. Overall best tattoo experience I’ve ever had!

I came to Dark Child 20 years ago with the intention to cover up a tattoo I had gotten from another tattoo parlor. I gave Ariel the idea and he executed it beyond my expectations. Ariel is a great artist especially when you give him the freedom to be creative. I have never looked anywhere else. The work is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing family environment.
