RACISTS!
by alexis3563413
While vacationing in Orlando over the 4th of July holiday, my niece and I made plans to get tattoos. On Friday July 3, 2009 around 3:30pm we went to Incredible Ink on International Drive because of the good reviews and the proximity to our hotel. My niece asked one of the artists how much would a small to medium butterfly (ankle) such as the one on her lower arm cost? He shouted, "I don't know!" He then went on to say it would cost $150 - $200. We walked out because we knew that was way overpriced for what we asked for. I then called Incredible Ink from my car and the guy that answered the phone said the butterfly would cost "$50 - $60". It's amazing how the artist would price gauge African Americans in person then offer the same tattoo over the phone at a fraction of the in person quote! We went to another parlor about 20 minutes away with excellent reviews and I got my tattoo for $85 and my niece got her large, very detailed tattoo for $165.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: Discriminatory practices

Color stays!
by brookesmommy1101
I love this place! I got my first tattoo here when I was 16 *thanks to my aunts parental concent* and the color is still great! *I'm 23 now* The man doing my tattoo *i dont' remember his name now* was very friendly and made me laugh which eased the nervousness. I am planning on going back here to get a tattoo in honor of my daughter.
- Pros: Great Artists!
- Cons: A little pricy.

My husband and I went to Inkredible Ink in downtown Orlando. I had seen this place a thousand times, so I felt drawn to it when we decided to bite the bullett and get pierced. We had decided to get our nipples pierced on Memorial Day weekend 2008. We had stopped by the shop a couple of times in the months leading up to it to ask questions here and there, and the guys made us feel very comfortable. They're all really easy going, but take their jobs seriously in that they know how serious a piercing can be. We went Saturday night for our piercings. The experience was superior. Josh was our piercer. He was very matter-of-fact about the procedure, which made me fell more comfortable about taking my clothes off in front of a strange man. He was very patient with my husband when he needed some time between getting each nipple pierced, and he made him feel a lot better about the way he was feeling by explaining that this piercing is MUCH more painful for men than for women. He adapted well to my husband's and my different approaches to getting pierced. My husband needed time to breathe and needed to count down, while my philosophy was "I'll breathe, and you pierce when you're ready." Josh made the experience as pleasurable as possible. So much so that I went back on Monday-Memorial Day-for a VCH piercing. I didn't think twice about going back to Josh and Inkredible Ink for a piercing in such a sensitive area. Again, the experience was superior. Josh was very matter-of-fact and thorough. He remembered my approach and pierced quickly. He was absolutely fantastic! We are customers for life and would recommend Inkredible Ink and Josh to everyone!
