A group of friends and I went here for a touch -up of our tattoos. We had Jesse & she was accommodating, funny & did a good job. All five of us are so pleased with her & our tattoos !!
Tattoos YES - Piercings NOOOOOFirst of all - Jesy the tattoo artist is AMAZING and kind and good. So please do see her for tattoos. However - DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE FOR ANY REASON. The piercer did not know what they were doing, and severely injured me, I immediately took my lip piercing out because of the swelling and bruising they caused. And then she had the audacity to say the profuse bleeding was normal. Photos are only hours after failed attempt to do lip piercing, so the bruising is going to be worse before it’s better. Updated picture with bruising on the outside of my mouth
Here for vacation, me and my father went to the bar across the street and ended up coming into the shop. Very glad we did, although I didn’t catch the names of the gentlemen who provided us service. (wishing I did now). We came in and got a piercing and two tattoos! And was out of there in a hour flat 11/10 loved the music and the vibes the guys put on. Felt super comfortable. Provided great work will definitely be back. 🌴🥰
Here for a vacation and stumbled up on this place. SO HAPPY I DID!! My best friend and I both got a tattoo and she got a piercing and although the work was spectacular, the conversations and connections is what we really loved! Definitely check this place out if you want quality work done!!!!Thank you Jessie!!!
First pic is right after it was done, second pic is over a week ago- at a month old.TODAY IT IS 36 days since i got that tattoo, and it’s basically gone. 🤔I’ve been calling for over a WEEK now to talk to someone and they are IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of.Now, I don’t want to hear “it’s a foot tattoo, it’s going to fade”… this was gone before it was healed! We are part time residents, not spring breakers, so we were not in the pool/ocean… not in sand. And after care of course was up to par as I have several other tattoos and know how to take care of them.I just want it fixed!!! We got these as best friend tattoos! And paid good money for them!
I got a tattoo here about a year ago and was told that I had free touch ups for life. It is a tattoo with 5 little airplanes all in black ink. One of the 5 planes got infected and I do not live in the Fort Lauderdale area. I am in Fort Lauderdale this week and I went in to the shop today to get it touched up. I was told by the “owner” and “manager” that this is not the sho policy regarding touch ups and that the artist no longer works at the shop. The owner accused me of accusing them that they didn’t use sterile needles. Needless to say, I clearly wasn’t going to win this battle so I gave up. It’s not the most clean place to begin with but I originally figured that I would give it a shot because what could go wrong with a simple tattoo. You live and you learn, DO NOT GO HERE. The shop happens to be perfectly set up for all of the intoxicated people leaving the bars nearby. Please folks, do not go give them your money just to have a similar experience.
Place was cool, I got two piercings done, one and industrial that I already had from years ago that I got re-pierced. And then a high helix. Three months later my helix was still bleeding, was never put in correctly, was not straight, and was probably the most painful piercing I’ve ever had. Also I am 37 years old and I’ve been getting pierced since I was 18. Be careful what you get pierced and pay attention to the healing process.
Wally and Roo gave excellent service! Came here on a whim and my husband and I both got piercings with ease and such professionalism. Would recommend this shop to anyone!
They helped me with all of my questions and I got a super wicked awesome deal saved like 50% just because not like there was a special or anything theyre just awesome people there see you soon for my piercing guys and my new tats I want to get!
Great shop! Came in for a finding Nemo tattoo. Had the best experience! The artist did an amazing job!! Even asked if I wanted his eyes blue. Reasonably priced. For sure check them out!
I went here back in February 2017 and I’ve had a lot of tattoos done since then, so let me tell you about these guys. I was 22 when I got a simple tattoo done with about 7 other of my friends. All the tattoos were identical and extremely simple (being 3 two-inch, black lines, about 1/2” thick), so every single artist in the shop contributed to doing the tattoo on my friends as well so it would be efficient.Well, I woke up today and finally realized, man, I should write a review about this place since they screwed up my tattoo so bad and I have these beautifully done tattoos now.To begin, the guy that tattooed me (I forget what his name was), put the purple outline on my arm. He said he didn’t like the placement of the first outline, so he adjusted it about 1/4” away (and angled) from the previous outline, with a second outline. Yeah, he didn’t wash off the initial outline. He then proceeded with the first line, and says “Oh no.” He then says that he started it out by tattooing the first, incorrect outline, instead of the second one. Okay dude.So then he says, “I’ll correct it by going over the line with brown ink.” Yeah dudeguy okay. He says it’ll just blend right into my skin. I have a white to tan skin color. He continues on with the tattoo and well, he screwed up my tattoo bad. The lines aren’t filled in to be completely straight, and the edges aren’t straight. Let alone when it healed, the blacks were very splotchy, and yes, I can see a wrong black line with a thick brown outline over it. He then expected a tip, saying he’s won countless tattoo competitions. Yeah alright buddy. I said nah.All of my friends tattoos were also screwed up in a minor way. Being not filled in enough, breaks in a straight line, etc. i just happened to get the worst version of the tattoo.So yeah, it’s a funny experience because I got to do this with friends and it’s hilarious how bad they all screwed up. Be wary, maritime.Response to Owner Edit:Dude, take the review and not whine about it like with every other person that gives you a bad review, and then try to insult them with petty comebacks. It speaks a lot about your business when you do that.Also I probably don’t remember if it was every tattoo artist in the shop that day. I just know it was 3 artists. That’s my bad, I’m sorry. I rescind any implication to not give you any business at all. That’s not fair at all, I’m just giving a review of my experience.
Great spot to get your tattoo, staff was very helpful and I love how my tattoo came out. Shadow helped me with what I wanted and made sure I was super happy with my tattoo. He is an amazing artist and will definitely go back for new ink❤️ Highly recommend Shadow as your new tattoo artist!
I purchased a product from this store and when I got it to my hotel it worked for an hour. I tried to exchange it for a product that worked. I was told that it was not likely, they would have to get a message from the owner and that there was no way to speak to the manager/owner. The man acted like he didn’t want to help resolve this issue. Just not good customer service here in lieu of a defective product. They don’t stand buy what they sell apparently. Not a good experience to have while on vacation. They took my money and offered no resolution. Ive been waiting for 5 hours so I’ve decided to go elsewhere as I don’t feel comfortable spending money here any longer as a result of this.
Horrible customer service. Go to Bernie’s smoke shop
Unreal, we paid over $100 for 2 piercings with a party of 4 and they would not let one member of our party use their facility for the bathroom.The lady “Lucy” demanded $5 for him using the bathroom and follows us outside to fight us for using the bathroom. The Piercing also did not go well and was done in the wrong spot and not done properly. I will not return to put the new studs in rather I will go to another spot. Very unprofessional. They did not even use real jewelry for the piercing and ended up taking it out later the same night. Spend money somewhere else where you will be appreciated as a customer because they do not value the people that spend money with them.
Were here on vacation and I lost a ball for my industrial. Were traveling light so I didnt have a spare. $5 and I was in and out, and the staff was super friendly. Great experience.
Basically over charged my girl on a bottle of juice. I went there for him to make it right and he refused. You can check my background. Im a trucking business owner, and 3 tour War Veteran. I didnt tell him that bc I wanted to see if he was going to be a decent person. He was not!!! Its ok, Ill eat that. But I refuse for you to treat others customers like this. I want to make it clear. I dont have an issue with the tattoo shop. Just the vape shop...
Ive not gotten my dream tattoo here yet. However Im new in town and a client of the vape shop on federal .Staff, Ownership, vast product line low prices! My big Japanese Luck Dragon & Japanese Foo Dogs with my nephews name on my wrists. I found my place! I know so many people whove gotten quality work here, Im excited to finally get them as Im 43 and a professional!
The people in this shop are very cool. They took care of me right away & did a great job & the price was excellent.I would recommend them to anyone wanting a new piercing &/or a new piece of body jewelry.!!!
Matt did an amazing job on my tattoo , highly recommend, walked around to atleast 8 different places and finally decided to come back here glad I did. I spent close to 3 hours in the chair for my first tatt and couldnt be any happier, very patient and skilled artist. Showed him a picture of the beach theme I wanted, (he looked at it once) and he drew it free hand, also including his one personal touches and came out better than what I showed him. What really made me come back here is out of all the shops I went to, he overherd me talking to one of the other artists there and he saw the picture and was really interested in doing the piece and made me feel very comfortable in doing it won my trust to come back, very happy I came back. Very skilled and passionate about his career, thanks again matt
Great atmosphere and great tattoo artists!! Got 4 tattoos total with me and my daughters!! We love them!! Highly recommend these guys ♥️♥️
If I could give this shop zero stars I would. Terrible service. I had the worst tattoo Ive ever seen done by this shop. When I was finished, I told the owner that I was not at all satisfied by the work. The tattoo was small, about the size of a quarter, totally uneven, lines didnt match up and half was much darker than the other half. I talked to the artist and he said well its like that because I couldnt see from the stencil. And I did half of it grey just in case it was right. This made absolutely zero sense to me. You did one image half black and half grey in case it wasnt right? They then asked me to sit back down in the chair so he could redo it. After I refused they told me I was being unreasonable. The tattoo is just BAD and I will be lucky to get it fixed. Not to mention the artist was cocky and rude from the get go. I would ask questions to ensure that it was what I was going to like and his response was sweetie I know what Im doingand once he was finished Well would you look at that I actually know how to do something right while throwing his hands in the air.. Now I am left 70 dollars poorer with a terrible tattoo that I will need to get redone. A week later the tattoo is infected and will most likely be a scar in the end. My dad, who got something a bit larger, is also going to need to get his redone. There were boxes of used needles sitting on stations and on the floor, the hazardous waste garbage was left wide open right in between the two artists tattooing. I even saw this artist wipe with his rag, squeeze it over this hazardous waste garbage and then wipe the tattood skin with the same rag. This place is just a mess. Who is doing the health code checks around here?I expected nothing less than a passive aggressive, defensive story in response from this group of people. I just hope to save the next people some trouble.
Ive had three tattoos here and they have all been on point. Just had my hands done with freehand cursive... really good work.Les, chubbs, calexo... all good artists with lots of good work under their belt.
Not that i’ve gotten (a) tattoo/piercing/vape supplies here but i was standing outside,, and i saw what i would say was one of the employees (she was standing around and going in and out of the shop, talking to other employees) flashing a small group. Yes, that type of flashing. Extremely low class and i wouldn’t trust them making a permanent mark on my body.
Pricey, but worth the money! Great work! Three if us walked in, place was busy, but they fit us in. Did great work, exceptional tattoo artist works here! And I got my first!
Bad reviews are real. Believe them. I am glad that I do not have to write more. Others already posted very honest and bad experiences. Russian speaking employee (probably the vape seller) extremely rude, ignorant, and scammer. Beware.
The best place to get your tattoo staff was great! Products are awesome I reccomend shadow for tattoos hes a very fun and outgoing person will get you exactly what u want! LOVE IT !!!!
Awesome artists! Ruben is the real deal! Everyone was so friendly catering to me during my 6 hour tattoo session. Ill be back for more tattoos!
I highly recommend this shop, good prices, chill atmosphere and awesome staff. Bryan is a hilarious/goofy dude with an awesome personality and makes sure that youre comfortable. I had an excellent experience here and will be coming back.
Came on vacation and wanted a tattoo and spotted this awesome place and I am absolutely in love with my tattoo. Staff is great and very nice, fair pricing too !! Totally recommend
Mrs Lucy, was very informative she really helped me to feel at ease with my first major piercing. I will recommend her and the rest of the staff at Half Baked from now on
I rarely leave 1 star reviews and fully support quality businesses in Fort Lauderdale but this place has been repeatedly bad. Customer service is horrible, the people who work there make it seem like an inconvenience that youre there and every time I have gotten a portable e-cig or juice from there it has been absolutely horrendous and I never have these problems with tobacco shops...I do NOT recommend buying anything vape related here.
PJ is rude and easily offended. He sold me a nose ring and when I asked him to put it in, he had some woman try to put it in. 15+ minutes later and a pair of the shakiest hands later, she was unable to put it in. My sister had to come behind the counter and do it for me. Don’t recommend. Didn’t feel safe.
Matt is the best man at this store. He opened the store after it was closed. I have been to several smoke shops and this is my favorite spot. Best store hands down. Ask for Matt he will take care if you.
The guy that work in the night shift, so bad! Bad attitude, not nice at all! Sold me a vape that didn’t work! Plus over charge me! Won’t recommend this place no even to get water
Guys are super nice and fun to deal with. Extremely fast and gentle with tattoos. Highly recommend. Got exactly what I wanted.
The employees are very friendly. The prices are good. All around i would recommend this place to anyone looking for a piercing.
Very bad business refused to just look around. Who knows i could be a millionaire. Just would not do business here.
Great place friendly staff great artists. Come down today for great full moon fl Friday the 13th specials. Dont miss out you will be sorry.
Very friendly and did a great job! i will definitely be going back to get another piercing
Shadow did my tattoo and i had a great time, the place was nice, clean, and great staff definitely coming back for another.
Update: ownership responded and accused me of hitting on the woman.. well, Im gay and married so, no.-------------------------------------The woman working the counter was clearly not very sober, and it took me scouring the glass display myself to find what I needed.
Went to get a tattoo everyone in there were good and professional I would go back again.
Nick did an amazing job with me! 10/10 recommend. I think he might be the best
WIZ is the best !!!!!! He took good care of us.
Hours are never current, they often say they’re open and no one is there. Also are usually rude. Don’t mind coming here because it’s convenient but not great service, and I’ve never actually there
This place sucks! Sand everywhere, all floor is wet and Bad olor in the air. Plus Bad attencion! I dont reccomend this place
Super friendly staff. Awesome artists. Great attitudes. Very helpful, very knowledgeable. Thank you!!!
Very nice employees, very welcoming atmosphere, and gave my girlfriend an amazing piercing
Grate friendly staff I recommend for tattoos piercings and your smoke stuff
Says hours are 12-2. I walked here just to find a padlock on the door and no employees inside, only a ladder.
Love this place. The staff is awesome and helpful. Shadow is good and knew exactly what I wanted to get
Bryan is the best !!! And seriously the sweetest , Ill recommend any day. Great service & good prices 🤗
Just got some extra balls for my pearsings... friendly staff
Too slow wasnt friendly too much traffic in front of the shop.... if you know what I mean..... bad for business
I forgot my gear at home and these guys hooked me up. Top notch service. 👍🏼
Amazing service. Will definitely be back!. Eddie and Matteo
Eddie is the New manager and builde a grate new team of artist grate service
They have a whole lot of smoking products... their tattoos tho are way overpriced tho
Mike was super helpful. Cool and laid back place.
Horrible service, Seems like the entire staff is on some sort of drugs or alcohol.
Good people fair prices great selection
