Idle Hands Tattoo & Piercing

Everybody at Idle Hands was very friendly, and strive for customer satisfaction! Great atmosphere, and excellent music! Last but not least, my wife and I got «SUPERB» tattoos! I look forward to going back to Idle Hands for my next tattoo. Thanks Dan!

Friendly staff, very clean environment, reasonable pricing. I got my cartilage done here and have no complaints! Will go here if I decide to get anything else done

Myself and 3 of my friends went here for piercings. We all 3 got the triple forward helix piercing, done by the owner of the shop. He seemed not happy about having to do the piercings as it is apparently a difficult piercing to do, but did not say that he was not adept or comfortable doing this piecing. The piercings were painful and seemed to be a lot of work, but we thought that this was just normal for this particular piercing. We paid $ 100 each, and this was for their upgraded «premium jewelry». Our ears all look very red and swollen, but as this is normal for most piercings, we assumed they would look good after the swelling went down.
Flash forward to today, approximately 1 month after receiving these piercings. We are back home in Oklahoma City, and the middle earring of my friend’s triple forward helix has receded back into her cartilage. The front stud of the earring is not visible, as it is embedded in the middle of the cartilage. It is very red, swollen, and painful. We decide to go to a very reputable piercing shop in OKC to have it looked at to see if they can adjust the earring and fix the issue. The piercer at this shop takes one look at my friend’s ear and is stunned at how horrible of a piercing job it was. He said there was absolutely nothing done right with the piercing and that all of the rings needed to come out of her ear immediately. He looked at mine (which had been healing fine) and said mine is also a hack job, and all of mine need to be removed as well. He said the piercings are all facing different directions, not done straight through, and would never heal properly. He also said that you should never be able to see the backs of the earrings with a triple forward helix. You could see the backs of all 3 of our piercings. Also, the «premium jewelry», he said can be purchased online for somewhere in the range of 5 cents a stud. He had to physically cut one of my friends piercings, as he said that whoever put it in had stripped the screw portion of the earring. I also had mine removed, even though I wasn’t having issues, because I do not want mine to heal in the manner that they were pierced. I should mention that the shop who removed them did not benefit even remotely by our business. We did not pay to have the piercings removed, and they did not try and sell us additional piercings or jewelry. He had no intentions other than to salvage our ears.
We are extremely infuriated that we were duped into letting someone who is not proficient in this specific piercing perform it on us. I would be very very weary of having any piercings done at this shop.

Went there for a piercing. They treated me super nice and the owner who did my piercing was funny and calmed my nerves. My piercing wasn’t healing good and I went back to them, they gave me some soap and all better. If I feel the urge to do something else, I would gladly go there again.

I went to Idle Hands for the first time about a year ago, and i’ve been there many times since then. The staff is friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is great, and their work is exceptional and priced right.

Amazing! The staff was kind and welcoming. I felt like I was in a safe and clean environment. Many jewelry options and inexpensive. I got multiple piercings with no problems. I will be returning!

I have been tattooed be several artist, no «big» complaints about any of them… Idle hands brought my artist (Kham Smith) in as an apprentice around a year ago. I know the owners fairly well and would say they are good guys! Dan (1 of the owners) is a great artist, he personally hasn’t done a tat on me but I have seen lots of his work and feel comfortable saying he possesses great skill. Wayne (1 of the owners) is very business savvy and is well known in the bike community! This is a new location in old town, very clean and sanitary :)
Kham (my artist) is one of 3 I think & is fantastic! Great artist that has both the skills and desire it takes to truly build their business! I have sent several friends his way and have gotten great feedback from them!!!
If you’re looking for ink in a clean, professional, laid back environment; this is your place! From cover ups, to large pieces, to portraits go check out the shop and book an appointment with Kham!
