Platinum Tattoos & Body Piercing

Have you ever wanted a tattoo and found a place that will accommodate you 100%? If your looking for one this is the place. Fun, helpful and friendly staff. Clean, detailed and professional service. It’s unfortunate I’m only passing through but now I know I have a tattoo shop if I ever come back!

My husband and I just left here with matching celtic heart bands done by Mario. I am grateful he was willing to work with such a small space (my size 4.5 finger) and did a superb job! I was looking for just black and white but he talked me into adding color and I am thrilled I listened to him. They are both gorgeous! Thank you, Mario. You may have been a little nervous but I will definitely look for you again with any of my future inking endeavors.

I had the most amazing experience today. Not only did I get I get a tattoo that means so much to me but the vibe, the energy at Platinum was epic. The owners Mike and Jeff make you feel at home, like one of the crew. Not standoff in the least. The shop was extremely clean and in the process of what looks and sounds like an amazing revamp! Vapors and hookah coming soon, count me in! Limitations of only a tattoo and piercing venue where not in stars here, being fit a box are not Mike and Jeffs fortey. I can’t wait to see their creative vision come to fruition. But this visit was much more than that for me today.
The meaning behind today’s tattoo
The semicolon Movement ;
This movement, the choice to raise awareness can have many different meanings and interpretations behind it. For myself, it represents pushing forward into your life’s purpose. We have all had our hard times, our struggles, our depressive moments in life. That does not define you, you are not condemned to stay there. We are meant for greatness, for love, for sharing, for growing, for empowering! And sometimes that also means pits in your life. But it does not have to end there! You are not alone! We all go through it! And by the Grace of God we become indestructible!!! Fearless! Warriors wearing our battle scars proudly! This is what the SEMI COLON means to me, my battle scar! Proof I can go through the fire and come out a Warrior!
And today Mario Mike and Jeff helped bring this to life

As I am happy with the piercing I received, I am certainly not happy with my piercers attitude. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by him but he treated me like I was a very incompetent person who’s never had a piercing before. I have quite a few and honestly I recommend Miro down at Dandyland. Anyway he tells me there is a wait which is understandable. He asks for my information which I happily provide but still he was very unhappy with my choice of payment (which is card). The whole transaction with him is horrible as he seems very uncaring of my business as a customer. Nevertheless I kill him with kindness, receive the piercing I paid for and went on my merrily way thinking that I will never do business at this location again.

The piercing process was fine, the actual piercing was done very well and professionally. But before that, the people were rushing us & in general we didn’t feel very welcomed. We stood at the counter for several minutes being ignored as the receptionist tried to create an ‘out of order’ sign which took her 5 minutes to do. Apparently the sign was more important than getting our money.
The piercer also gave us incorrect aftercare treatment. Had to go to another piercer to tell me to change my treatment.

My bestie and I came here to get our latest tats together. We both got our Chinese zodiac symbols drawn up with some cherry blossoms and got tatted on our right shoulders. Omg it hurt like a somovabitch but it was absolutely worth it. Our artist did an amazing job!!!

I jut got my 3^rd tattoo at this location last night. I was, at first, apprehensive. I heard horror stories about Platinum being over priced, with rude employees. But I reached out to my sister who works at Platinum in the morning and Gilbert agreed to see me in the evening. We e-​mailed back in forth my ideas and he drew something up for me. I walked in and was greeted by friendly staff. (I noticed the staff was dressed in scrubs which, at first, wierded me out, but after a little thought I realized just how much sense it makes for artists who will pierce and (literally) scar your body would wear sanitary scrubs.) Gilbert’s previous appointment was taking longer than expected, but he came out, shook my hand and apologized for the delay. I understood him not wanting to rush-​tattoos are forever! Once we got started, he walked me through the process he went through to create my piece and gave me an AMAZING price. he then made sure his stencil was lined up perfectly, and that the colors were exactly what I wanted. he also offered professional suggestions which as great.
He has a very light hand and works fast. his lines are clean and he is a perfectionist. he is also great with customer service. He even let me take a break to eat some dinner!
This tattoo means so much to me-​something I planned for years, and was nervous to trust someone I had never met before to do it-​but Gilbert came highly recommended, and I’m glad I went with him. I’m beyond happy with my new piece. Looking at it makes me so happy, and knowing that he tailored it to my needs, and gave me the best suggestions possible, makes me feel Like I have a genuine work of art on my body.
Thanks to the staff for being so friendly and helpful and especially to Gilbert Gonzales for giving me this amazing work of art!
