They do excellent work and have excellent customer service. I purchased a beautiful gold nose ring, expensive, that broke a few days later after purchase. The studio gave me options and fortunately were able to send out the ring to have it fixed. If it was unable to be fixed in a timely manner they offered me store credit to purchase a new ring of that value. Its super clean and all of the employees are friendly and helpful. I will never go anywhere else. Benji is my new favorite human on the planet, so easy to talk to. I cant wait to have more piercings and tattoos done here. And I will always come here for jewelry changes etc. Im 100% unity studio.
Unity is the best! Denise, Mal, and the rest of their staff are talented, professional, and welcoming. Mal did my conch piercing, which I was nervous about for two reasons- the pain level and healing, since my skin is really sensitive. Mal walked me through all the steps of the piercing process, along with what I needed to do to make sure it healed properly. I have had it for a few years now and it healed perfectly without any issues- a rarity for my skin! I believe how well it healed had a lot to do with the high quality materials they use for piercing at Unity, as well as Mal’s next level piercing skills!! I’ve had one other piercing done at Unity, taken my mother-in-law there for an ear piercing, and bought jewelry from their beautiful collection. I cannot say enough good things about Unity Studio!
Unity is the very best! Mal has given me the prettiest piercings with the fastest recovery times I’ve ever experienced! I now live too far away to visit the shop frequently, but they always go above and beyond! With a few pictures, Instagram messages, and an idea of what jewelry I wanted, they provided me with my dream piece for my daith! I couldn’t speak more highly of this team. An absolutely dream to work with!
Unity is literally the best place in NW Indiana to get tattooed or pierced. In my two years of being a customer at Unity I have not one bad thing to say. My first time in was for my nostril piercing and I had the best experience with Mal. From the first moment I stepped into the studio I was greeted by the most welcoming people ever. The atmosphere is so serene and calming. When I got my tattoo from Camillia I was so at ease through the whole 8 hours I was tattooed and it was my first tattoo ever! Literally every one that works here is amazing and they’re so accommodating of your schedule and concerns. All the jewelry I have purchased from Unity is amazing and I show it off all the time. I love this studio and these people so much. I would give a million stars if I could.
I love this place! Everyone involved with the shop have always made me feel extremely comfortable & important as a customer. I’ve been both tattooed and pierced here & highly recommend both! Fantastic business that is clean & above all professional. Rock on ladies!Thank you ️
I have been getting tattoos from Mal since 2016. Since opening the shop I have had several tattoos and piercing there. Every experience I have had has been amazing! The environment is clean and friendly. Their jewelry selection is the best I have found at any tattoo/piercing shop. Not only is the environment great, but their work is amazing and everyone there takes great pride in what they do, and it shows. I always recommend them to anyone who asks where I have had my tattoos done. Both my mom and sister have also been tattooed and pierced here as well and have similar great experiences. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for tattoos, piercings, or even just some awesome new jewelry upgrades!
I have been to other tattoo and piercing studios in the past and nothing compares to the quality and professionalism given at Unity. I‘ve had numerous piercings and tattoos done here and have never had a bad experience. The staff make you feel right at home, and truly care about what they do!
Mal did a few sessions for my half sleeve. I traveled from Lafayette to Valpo (1.5 hours) because I had seen her work and knew that was the best place! She corrected and finished a piece that was started by another artist that didnt take pride or care what he was doing. Her and Denise both were nothing short of amazing, nice, welcoming, and all around comfortable atmosphere. I constantly receive compliments regarding my tattoo wherever I go. I HIGHLY recommend them!
Every employee graces the company with their kindness, professionalism, and knowledge. We drive 2 hours just to come see these beautiful people and it’s worth every second! Keep up the great job, miss you all!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Unity! I have been going to Unity for 4 or 5 years now. They are literally amazing! I will not go anywhere but Unity! Unity makes you feel like family and just has the best vibes!
The only place in the Region that I trust with piercings. Super friendly, inclusive studio for tattoos, piercings, and jewelry.
I have gotten all my tattoos from unity, gotten piercings here, and bought my fair share of jewelry/stickers as well. Very professional and talented staff. The atmosphere is awesome. I always recommend unity to all my friends who want a piercing or tattoo!
Unity is hands down one of the best tattoo/piercing studios. Are they expensive? Sure. But the quality you receive makes it so worth it and Ive never had a problem with their jewelry. No chipping metal, easy application and removal of whatever piercing you get, and atleast some(maybe all? Id ask them) of their jewelry pieces have a warranty. And them tattoos! Everyone needs to go atleast once and experience and new type of the tattoo shop environment, you wont be mad. Unless youre a rude Karen.
Super professional, accepting, kind, open and inclusive shop. Everyone is always so helpful and I got a cover up by Camillia that came out amazing and had such a great experience while there. Cant emphasize enough how great everyone is at the shop and its literally the only place I buy jewelry from or get piercings at because they last and the quality of their products and jewelry they have is amazing. I have hip dermals that havent rejected or fussed for over 8 years!! Love the studio and people so much!
They were super!! Very knowledgeable and great personalities.
This is a beautiful atmosphere, along with beautiful personalities. I’m so glad to be apart of Unity, it’s truly the most comfortable environment and I hear that from my clients every day. I can’t say enough about how clean, respectful, and powerful Unity Studio is. I love the team there and love going to work everyday. I also have gained such an amazing clientele, all who have become my friends. I thank everyone who has come in, everyday I get to meet someone new. Thank you to Unity, and everyone else that goes there.
What an amazing, clean, comfortable studio. I will definitely be coming back for all my future work. Shout out to the amazing staff!!!
Mal did the absolute best job on a cover up tattoo for me! When I found out that she spent her time at home trying to make it the best cover up possible, that meant alot! It was extremely greatly executed and I could be happier! Mal Im ready for my tathered ribbon tattoo! Lets do this!
The ONLY place I trust for getting piercings! Mal and Denise are so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They both feel like friends of mine every time I go! The shop itself is super clean and has a cozy vibe. I have referred so many people here who all came out with a great experience. LOVE THIS PLACE!
Words can’t describe how much I adore this studio and the artists who give it life! Pristinely clean space, inviting energy, LGBTQIA owned! Denise’s cosmetic tattoo game is unreal.
I love my eyebrows and the plugs I purchased!! Amazing place with great people
Amazing customer service!! Very accommodating in requests and Denise is the sweetest.
One of the best shops Ive been in around here! I love that its an LGBTQ establishment and is a place you can be yourself in. Theyre pronoun conscious and my family really appreciated that. Clean, laid back, professional, and definitely quality! The piercing knowledge and jewelry quality speaks for itself. Ill always recommend this place!
The ONLY place to go for piercings. I have went to countless other places on the account that they were cheap. NEVER will I go anywhere else. Not only is their jewelry incomparable to anything else that I’ve ever seen (especially love the flat backs on all pieces - especially for ears bc being a side sleeper I always end up getting stabbed) but the friendliness of the staff is also incredible. Sometimes I joke that I want to come there just to hang out with the staff (Pre-COVID life) beyond impressive piercings & jewelry. Every single piercing I have gotten done somewhere else has ended up infected or rejected. NOT HERE! Nothing of the sort. They even do anatomy checks to see if your body part(s) are even able to have the certain piercing.Onto tattoos... I have had two tattoos done by Camilia (formerly CiCi) and she is amazing! Light handed, beautiful tattoos, and easy to talk to while sitting for multiple sessions & multiple hours.I cannot say enough amazing things about their quality, in all aspects. Love this place & will be a lifelong customer.
The only place I trust for my piercings and tattoos now! Unity is one of my favorite places :)
The Unity team is absolutely amazing. They are all so knowledgeable and helpful with any questions you have. The studio is incredibly clean and you instantly feel at ease when walking in. Ive never had a piercing heal as well as the ones Ive gotten and Unity. The jewelry is top notch, and youll want to leave with at least 10 different pieces. The art work for sale in the shop is also so worth it to check out. They are all so incredibly talented.
Unity is one of a kind! Professional, clean, friendly atmosphere with excellent quality jewelry options. Denise, Mal, and Lauren have been nothing short of helpful and welcoming every time I’ve visited the studio. As an incredibly indecisive person, I appreciate their patience and creative opinions when looking to get new jewelry or piercings. Ya’ll are amazing!
Unity is the only place I trust for piercings, and one of the very few I trust for tattoos. I’ve never once been disappointed by the services I’ve received from them - nine piercings and six out of my ten tattoos. I used to travel an hour and a half for this place, and I travel forty five minutes still. 100% worth it, I love this place.
I got my first tattoo done here by Mal and it was amazing. They definitely knew what they were doing and gave me a lot of tips on maintenance. They made me feel comfortable and safe when getting my piece done, I cant thank them enough for such a positive experience. I will definitely come back soon to get another, and I always recommend Unity Studio to my friends.
Unity is absolutely amazing! I had microblading with Denise, she did an amazing job. Lauren at desk is so nice and knowledgeable. Mal did a piercing for my daughter and she really made her feel comfortable with the experience.
Ive gotten all of my tattoos at Unity and I cant recommend them enough. Cici is very gentle and does amazing work. Every person in the shop is talented and knowledgeable. Love the atmosphere and the people!
Nothing but good things to say about Unity. I’ve been going here since they opened the doors and I’ve never had a bad experience. Denise has done my brows and Mal has done a few of my piercings and a lot of my tattoos. They are so professional and knowledgeable and I’d trust them with anything.. they also have theee best jewelry around and makes me want to pierce all the things.
Very clean, very sweet workers!! Awesome place!!
I follow you on Instagram and are really awesome and professionals
Theyre wonderful here. You wont find this kind of environment at any other studio. I wont go to anyone else for piercings in the future. They made all the difference in my experience. Also, I struggled for years with my skin reacting to jewelry until I found this place. The quality is unmatched. They truly care about their customers.
Mal and Denise are absolutely amazing human beings. The space they have created is not only amazing clean but top notch in customer service. They are a small group of women who really care about the quality of their work and your experience. I have been pierced by Mal and have my eyebrows mircobladed by Denise. I recently travelled back from Michigan to get my eyebrows touched up after over a year. I will never be pierced by anyone else or let anyone touch my perfect brows!
One of the best shops around- denise is awesome!
I bought jewelry there and was told it wouldnt fall out or get lost, WRONG needless to say it did. Not to mention I had no real help when purchasing it other than we have never had anyone lose one!!! Money down the drain....
I cant suggest Unity enough. They are an amazing women run, LGBT+ friendly, highly qualified group of ladies. I refuse to go anywhere else.
I cant express enough how much I was impressed with this place today. Mal did my piercings. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Mal doesnt just care about making a sale. She does an anatomy check to make sure the piercing is appropriate. In fact, Mal didnt pierce my friend because she said her body would reject it. The studio is extremely clean. Ill definitely be going back for my next tattoo.
Unity is the most PROFESSIONAL place Ive ever been to for tattoos or piercings. I have 4 tattoos done by them and Ive gotten my last 3 piercings there as well. they are so beyond helpful when I come in and always point in the right direction when it comes to jewelry. they also will be honest and up front with you if your your anatomy will not work with the piercing you want, and that is respectable since most shops would pierce you anyways and act like that isnt the problem when you come back 3 weeks later with issues. this shop is full of the most amazing women Ive ever met and nobody should even hesitate when thinking about going to visit unity studio.
Any time anyone asks me where to go for a piercing, I recommend Mal at Unity Studio 100% of the time. She’s super professional, friendly, gives you all the information you could ever need to properly take care of a new piercing (or tattoo), and makes you feel really comfortable being there. I’ve had nothing but great experiences every single time I’ve gone in. Denise is super knowledgeable about all of the jewelry in stock and can help you order anything they don’t have. I haven’t been in much since some newer people were hired but every time I’ve interacted with them they’re always nice! I have nothing but good things to say about Unity Studio.
The staff here is amazing friendly and every educated and knowledgeable of their craft. I had an appointment with CeCe today was the longest tattoo session Ive ever had. She made me feel welcome and comfortable the whole time. CeCe is very professional and you can tell she loves what she does through her passion and any art related and especially in her artwork. I came in with a design and she hands down killed it. She added to the design with brought the thing together. This was a cover-up and you cant even tell there is anything underneath. Once again amazing work staff and I cant wait to figure out what else I want done to go back.Thank you CeCe
Nicest, cleanest, most professional yet friendly studio I’ve ever had the pleasure of going into. I would highly recommend Unity Stuido in Valparaiso!
Denise and Mal are the best in the region. Denise did microshading on my eyebrows and was very patient, professional and hilarious. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had with a business. I referred my friend Trish there as well to get the same procedure, and she had the exact same things to say. I would refer them over and over and over again. They even provided products for aftercare in addition to making sure that I was fully educated on the healing process before I left. Thanks Unity!
Unity is one of the most professional and comfortable tattoo shops I have been to in my life. Quality, beautiful jewelry and even better quality people who work there. I have gotten tattoos and piercings from both Mal and Cici and it’s safe to say I won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Also not to mention Denise and Lauren are very knowledgeable when it comes to jewelry and love helping you pick out the prettiest jewelry for yourself! Love them and everything that they stand for!!
The first time I went to Unity was a few months after they opened in 2015. Denise and Mal couldnt be more welcoming! They are dedicated to customer service and safety. Ive now had 8 tattoos done at the studio and am always planning my next. I constantly get compliments on their artwork on my body and am always happy to refer them to my favorite shop, Unity Studio. If you havent, stop in and check them out! I know theyll be happy to help with any of your tattoo or piercing needs!
Great experience with Cici! She did an incredible job
Very personable people. Great jewelry selection: amazing artists. Extremely clean environment. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I moved to Florida but am planing a trip to come back in October just to get my brows touched up by Denise. If that doesn’t speak volumes idk what does.
I love Unity Studio, and I have gone there for 2 tattoos and multiple piercings. I live in the Indianapolis area but one of my best friends lives in Valpo so I make the trip there because it is more than worth it! Mals line work is impeccable and everything is extremely sanitary. I have also purchased items from Denise. I cant say enough good things! Highly recommend!!
I started going to unity a couple years ago and I regret not going sooner!! I go there for EVERYTHING now. Mal did a big tattoo of mine and was amazing! She’s also done multiple piercings for me and has always been professional and helpful when I have questions. Cici did a couple of my newer tattoos and she did amazing as well. Everyone at unity is super friendly, kind, helpful and absolutely amazing! I’ll always go to unity for any tattoo/piercing needs!
Cici did a great job. Very clean and nice staff. Most def worth the wait and the price is more than fair for thr quality of work you get.
Flash Event for Friday the 13th. First time there. Everyone was really nice, place was very clean and CiCi did a great job with myself and my daughter. Thank you!
Very professional and lovely staff!
Absolutely the best I really cant say enough about their work I can say Mal has a light hand ( she did two on me ) gonna hit Cici up next phenomenal artist check out their fb page
The most professional place I’ve ever been pierced at. Mal was awesome and so thorough on explaining everything. I watched her sanitize and clean everything. I had never had such a great experience getting pierced before.
Unity has been an incredible asset to this community! Not only do they offer professional talent, they also give back by doing fundraising for various organizations like Lakeshore Paws & Hilltop Neighborhood. I’m proud to recommend any one of the talented artist!
High quality jewelry, very clean, the staff knows their stuff. I went in for doubles and it turns out they found the doubles I had previously and they hadn’t closed, just shrunk. They didn’t charge me for the piercing like other places would have. Just the jewelry.I know some may complain that the jewelry may be pricey but it is high Talita and long lasting. I’ve had mine in for a year with no issues.
I won’t go anywhere else after getting a tattoo here! I’ve been to several different places, and this was by far the best. Everyone was so welcoming and professional. I cannot say enough good things about Unity.
This shop is so nice and the help so friendly how could you not like it.
Denise and Mal have been super to work with. The shop is immaculate and the quality of their merch is superb. Ive had several piercings by them and would highly recommend them to both those seeking new piercings as well as those coming back for more. I know I will!
The staff really knows their stuff! Went in for a nipple piercing and Mal made sure to do an anatomy check to see that my body would be able to be properly pierced. Not something I hear people doing, but wish more did! 10/10 kweens.
Honestly, Unity is something like no other before. Ive never walked into such a comforting and welcoming tattoo parlor in my life. Ive had both piercings and a tattoo from Unity and plan to have many more to follow!
I havent actually visited the studio, since I live on another continent, but whenever I wanted to buy Diablo Organics jewellery (which are not accessible from the country I live in), I always wrote to Denise. Absolutely sharp and clear shipment, I evan got stickers and a super cool holo T-shirt and of course the true warmth Denise treated me with, evan though Im a total stranger from one ocean away. But! I chequed their work on social media and they work amazing. Beautiful unique old school/new school drawings and tattoos. Absolutely on point! If I would ever visit USA and want to get a tattoo or a beautiful piercing, Id definately go to Unity Studio!Much love!
Super professional staff, who were also very helpful.
I haven’t stopped bragging about this place since I went in with my friend for a piercing the other night. Most studios give you one or two choices when it comes to piercing jewelry, there is an entire case to select from which is amazing because my piercing will take 9 months to heal. The piercer was beyond qualified and made the entire experience worth every penny. She took the time to explain the entire piercing process to my friend and I with precise measurements and was just incredibly thorough. I live 8 hours away and was just home visiting family but I will never go to another studio for a piercing again. Thanks for an amazing experience guys
Have 5 tattoos from the fine folks at Unity. Beautiful shop, even better people working there. You cannot go wrong with any of the services this shop provides.
Their service is so good they are so professional and their artists are amazing
Never had a negative experience here. Extremely professional and friendly artists who take the time to get to truly know clients and work with you to make sure you leave happy. Clean and informative.
Very friendly staff. Denise did an excellent job on my eye brows. Also love the sweatshirts they sell.
Always a great time here. Denise does amazing work with microblading and always has the best quality jewelry. 10/10 recommend Unity Studio!
Amazing place. Very inviting atmosphere. Extremely clean and very organized! So friendly and they make you feel really comfortable. Went above and beyond my expectations for tattoo aftercare instructions that were given to me. They’ll make sure you come out with an amazing piece. Highly recommend.
I love love LOVE Unity! They are absolutely wonderful people and even better artists! The place is so clean and honestly the only place I trust for tattoos and piercings! Everyone is professional, but treat you as friends. They are very compassionate people as well! Nothing but positively with anything involving Unity!
I’ve gotten pierced and tattooed by Mal, as well as tattooed by CiCi. I absolutely ADORE the ladies at this shop. They are professional, personable and amazing at their job. 10/10 DO RECOMMEND.
The most professional, clean, organized and welcoming tattoo shop in NWI. Brilliant artists you can trust with tattoos and piercings. Highly recommend Unity!! No reason to go anywhere else.
This small studio is not a place to hang out. The walls arent papered floor to ceiling with a thousand tattoo designs. This is the place to go for custom body art and fine exotic jewelry. The artists are respected professionals with full calendars.
This tattoo & piercing studio is very clean, which is the utmost important factor! The staff is friendly, helpful & fun! My tattooist, CiCi, is a doll. She does great work & I love my new ink.
The only place Ill go! I drive 800 miles from North Carolina just to get work done by them. Ive been pierced and tattooed by Mal and tattooed by Jer. They are both insanely professional and talented. Denise is amazing and they go out of their way to make sure youre satisfied! Very clean and welcoming atmosphere!! I love the way they treat everyone like family the second that you walk in the door!! 100% recommend!
Such a cute studio with super nice staff and SUPER clean. I went in for a double upper nostril piercing and had a great experience.
I had my brows microbladed by Denise and couldnt be happier with my experience. They are professional and clean and know exactly what theyre doing! Ive never had any issues and my work done was amazing!
I went here yesterday morning (Wednesday) for a piercing. I was told that they were out of “nose posts.” Not sure what that is but I wasn’t able to get my nose pierced. I choose this place because of all the great reviews and did a lot of research before coming to this place. I looked at their Facebook page as well. If for any period of time you are not able to perform an advertised service, let people know. I was really inconvenienced that day. I arrived early, waited for them to open, came on a day walk-ins were accepted, only to be told we can’t do it. The lady/girl offered to call me back when they arrived in. I would have loved to have the same experience that everyone else had, but I did not. Maybe I will give them a try in the future. They could have put it on their Facebook page or website because I would have seen it there.
Best studio in Indiana! Tell your friends!
Never been anywhere with a more helpful, honest, and knowledgeable staff!! Wonderful atmosphere, great quality work, and tons of options. I’ll never go anywhere else again!
I recommend Unity to all my friends. Everyone is so fantastic and helpful and actually knowledgeable about what they do. Every experience I’ve had there has been incredibly positive. I love the atmosphere and everything about the shop and those who work there. Very trustworthy.
Mal did me and me wifes tattoo to commemorate our wedding. You cant ask for a better atmosphere and professionalism. Very clean! Highly recommend!
Cici did an amazing job with my tattoo! I loved how clean and friendly everyone at the place was. Already thinking of what to get next!
Love this place like it is home! Mal, Denise and Jer are always so kind and welcoming! My 7 tattoos from Mallory have all been perfect and everything I hoped they would be. After going here I would never consider going somewhere else
Girlfriend got her nose pierced there, super friendly staff, extremely clean. Very professional.
I have been going to Mallory before she opened her new shop. Mallory and Denise are amazing business people. They know their stuff. Their new place has everything you need, jewelry, piercing’s, micro bladding, and of course tattoos. I will continue support these two as long as I can.
Great staff who know their stuff and love their clients! Love coming here. ️
Got my septum pierced today. They are so nice here! Mallory is awesome and Im so happy to be pierced by her. Everything is really clean and professional and they were really thorough with making sure everything was sterilized and I was informed on how to care for my piercing. Plus they seemed happy to help with all my many, many questions.I called around to a few places looking for rose gold jewelry (not realizing you cant put it in a new piercing). This was the only place that mentioned anything about anodizing. The rose gold color is so beautiful and looks even better than my real rose gold which I will now be replacing.The price was what they quoted me, no surprises, and a great deal for what they provide.I was also very happy that I was able to consult with Mallory about possible complications that might occur with me stretching my ears. I have two holes where there should be one. I was impressed with her knowledge and problem solving and am excited to return.Also I got to get pierced in a room with an Adventure Time poster : )
Just got a tattoo by Cici.This was the 3rd tattoo I have ever gotten, and my overall best experience with the process.I was not very happy with my experience with my last Tattoo at a different shop in Valpo I will not name. Just know that Unity is better and very professional, and they care about your tattoo no matter how big or small it is.Thank you Cici, I will be getting more work done by you in the hopefully near future,
Great store nice jewelry but very pricey
Unity is such a wholesome environment with owners and employees who genuinely care about your well being above making money. This is a wonderful business with so many options for gorgeous jewelry and workers who want to help you look and feel your best.
Unity is the best! The professionalism and quality of work is unlike any other. I have had work done by Denise and Mal and I would never go anywhere else for my tattoo/piercing needs. I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone that will listen. Loveee them!
Love love love everyone here!! Always had fantastic work, great environment, and extremely clean!
Love everyone here. The most professional and comfortable environment I’ve ever been tattooed in. They are all incredibly qualified and talented and everything they use is high quality.
I cant say enough how much I am AMAZED at the work Mallory and Jeremiah do!! Mal has done a tattoo and 2 piercings on me and Jer has done a tattoo and another one that will be done Saturday!! I cant wait! They both have superb line work with an amazing eye for detail! They are both so knowledgeable of tattoos and piercing, and Denise is a jewelry guru!! If youre looking for the best in NWI, look no further these 3 are it!
