Liquid Swordz

I got my first tattoo here last night and I love it. Carl gave me four sweet little paw prints in honor of my beloved dog and I couldn’t be happier. The guys were friendly, funny, accommodating, and I got exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend!

Had a tattoo AND a nose piercing done here. All the guys are super professional, funny, and accomodating. They’ll even check up on you a couple weeks later to make sure everything’s healing up okay. Had Alex do my tattoo and his drawings were top notch. All these guys would make any first-​time tattoo or piercing super relaxed and comfortable. Will be going back.

I went here to get a last minute tattoo that I’d been wanting for a while. For all my other tattoos, I’ve gone to my tattoo artist back home but now that I’m in the area, I wanted to find an artist I like out here. All the staff were really nice. They made sure I was comfortable and my tattoo was exactly how and where I wanted it to be. They have a $ 60 tattoo minimum and because mine was small, they touched up a few of my other small ones so I’d get my money’s worth. I would definitely recommend them. The shop is very clean and the artists are very talented.

These guys are great. Im not sure there’s any other way to say it, just great all around. 100% recommend.

Alex did an amazing job on my first tattoo, I was really nervous but he helped me relax and it ended up being a pretty good experience.

These guys are great. Very clean & contemporary studio, the staff are personable and well skilled. I’ve had two pieces done here and am very happy with both. See Carl for awesome gray scale and Jeff (owner) for sweet color. I’ll always return for any more work I get.

Dave is the best piercer I have ever met. He looks a little scary, but don’t let that stop you from coming here. Dave is very friendly on the phone and in person. He has all the proper certifications and uses very sterile materials as well as sterile techniques. He is available to call with any problems and again, he is very nice and very good when it comes to clean and sterile piercing materials. I would recommend coming here again and as I am planning for a second piercing this is the only place I will go.

I have only been here so far for piercings. The piercer is very very professional and very educated and experienced. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I came to Liquid Swordz after a series of disappointments (due to the snobby attitudes of the staff, and the unnecessarily high prices of the services) with other tattoo/​piercing joints in the Ann Arbor area. The first thing that struck me was how busy it was on a Wednesday evening. Even so, the receptionist was pleasant and I was given paperwork to complete pretty quickly. The vibe is a friendly, relaxed one — lots of great art on the walls, a case of body jewelry to peruse, and a slideshow on a TV which displayed information and pictures of work by the tattoo artists and piercer. I observed a couple of guys getting tattoos, and my partner & I chatted with the receptionist as we waited.
«Evil» Dave, the piercer, had just finished piercing the navels of two teenage girls, accompanied by their guardian — they looked a little wan when they came out, but there were no tears. I was there to get my nostril pierced, and from the time Dave walked me back to the time I was walking out of the place only a short fifteen minutes had elapsed. Dave was happy to let my partner watch the procedure, and he explained every step in detail. I was impressed with his degree of care and knowledge. He also has a great piercing ‘bedside manner’ — just the right blend of information and jokes — which put me totally at ease. If I ever get another piercing in the Ann Arbor area, it will definitely be at Liquid Swordz.

Great service. I only trust Dave with my piercings. Any time I have gotten anything pierced (even my ears) anywhere else I end up with an infection. He knows what he’s doing and you can tell he loves what he does. I have been in several times to change out the jewelry on my monroe after he pierced it originally and he is always in a great mood and offers great customer service. Carl has done 4 of my tattoos and he’s awesome. Jeff has done two of mine and also amazing. Everyone who works here takes pride in what they do and they do an excellent job. On top of that the place is very clean and practices proper sanitation.

Okay okay, I know I reviewed Pangea and gave them five stars, but I’m also in love with this place. Really nice guys. Especially since it’s right next to deja vu. They were clean, efficient, kind and really respectful. I went in to get new plugs put in my ears and liked the service I was getting so much that I just decided to get another piercing, which was no problem for this guy.
As I was waiting for the room to be set up and jewelry to be sterilized, another guy showed me what he was drawing up for a customer. It was beautiful. I’m tempted to go in for some ink next. Very tempted.
Great guys, beautiful art and worth every cent.

Awesome place. Very cool people. Did a top notch job on tattoo. Would def recommend to anyone wanting a professional job done.
