Excellent customer service, both in person and via email. Clean and welcoming environment. I was glad I could get my tattoo in the back room as I would have been uncomfortable in the front of the shop with an audience of waiting customers and casual visitors to the shop. Colin was courteous, professional, efficient, and precise in his work. He gave clear directions about the process as well as after care instructions. If you are interested in a tattoo, you can feel confident that you will get exactly what you want if you come to Time Bomb!

Had a wonderful experience here for my piercing with Capt Gordon. He was kind and had great conversations about travel. Definitely eased my nerves. The shop itself is impeccably clean and lots of neat trinkets to browse. Reasonably priced, great customer service, great experience

The piercer was professional and courteous. He listened to my concerns and preference in placement of the jewelry. The office was clean and sterilized. Very interesting aesthetic. I'll definitely return for my next tattoo or piercing!

I cannot recommend this place enough! Super clean, super friendly, and just such an unique place. Every staff member is passionate about tattoos and body modification. The staff here take your safety and comfort seriously, which makes the experience so much smoother. Each artist has a personal style they excel at, but they are all incredibly talented. The lobby, a.k.a. their curiosities shop, is full of neat stuff, too!

Literally best experience for getting my nose pierced. My best friend and I did it together. Entire thing start to finish took less than 1hr. The girl up front took the time to explain the different jewelry and help us pick it out, then Christie was fun, chill and took the time to listen to our long term goal of wearing hoop jewelry and making sure when they pierced the hole would be in the right placement. Shop was clean, staff friendly, 10/10 will be coming back for jewelry change/future piercings!

I have a scar on my foot that I've been trying cover forever. I scheduled an appointment with Jesse, based on his profile of being detailed oriented with his designs. I was reluctant to see how he planned to design my tattoo, but after providing him with my vision based on designs I found on Pinterest, he took all the designs and used small aspects of them to cover my scar and even added some additional color contrast to the design that I wasn't expecting, but absolutely loved. Jesse was patient, personable and funny and bonus, he has an awesome neo-soul, evanescence type vibe with his play list that made my experience even more delightful. I will definitely be scheduling with him again as I want him to expand the tattoo up my leg.

I have had the best experience here! Chris did a line tattoo that is a work of art, and my second nose piercing by Christie was amazing. She was the most calming, warm human! Chris and Christie, you two are amazing! I am never going anywhere else to get piercings/tattoos done.

Got my nostril pierced two weeks ago and it was a great experience. Place was very clean and Capt. Gordon was very professional. There were so many options for jewelry and the girl at the front was super helpful and friendly. Piercing itself was quick and surprisingly not painful at all! Love it!

My wife will be getting her first tattoo here next week. Shop is immaculate. Staff made us feel very comfortable. Can't rate this shop high enough!
