He was super responsive and quick to get me on the schedule. Upon arrival, the lady at the front was very friendly and welcoming. She got the paperwork out of the way quickly. Brennan came and sat in the lobby with me to sort out what design I wanted and was patient with me as I made a couple changes to it. Once we settled on the final design, we went back to his station. I got a small floral tattoo on the outside of my left wrist. I chose the forget me not flower as it is the state flower of Alaska and Alaska was my 50th state I visited in June. I wanted to get the tattoo IN Alaska but that did not work out. I am glad I waited until I was home because I am super satisfied. My tattoo did not take long and Brennan did a great job. My tattoo came out better than I was hoping for! The shop is clean, sanitary and has some funky décor throughout the place. This way my second tattoo here by different artists. I was happy with both. My husband has half his body done by Ray and I am sure will be back for more at some point! I highly recommend this shop and will totally be back for more in the future.

This is the 3rd time that I have gotten pierced by Brittany as she was previously at a Tattoo Dynasty and did the $25 Tuesdays there. When you walk in, you see everything is individually packaged and sterile. She is so quick with the piercings that we were in and out within 10 minutes of walking in the door. Once your piercing is done she gives you a little care card that tells you the gauge of the jewelry and how to take care of your piercing. I will for sure be coming back to see her again.

Absolute garbage. Had a tattoo that didn't stick because the artist didn't go deep enough. I…read morereached out to the artist. He saw my messages, and didn't respond until after a week. By then I didn't want a touch up and complained directly to the shop owners. I was told it was my fault for choosing a difficult place and asked to leave. I had reached out to the artist prior to making the appointment and he assured me he knew what he was doing and would take the job. Do not get pierced here. I considered it, and even jumped up on the table, but realized they don't use internally threaded jewelry. NO SHOP in this day and age should use anything other than internally threaded. If you had a piercing that didn't stick, or became infected, now you know why.

Three years ago I went to this shop to inquire about a African cheetah portrait. The female artist…read moreat the time lacked professionalism. I was told that she was busy and that she was drawing but she was not with a client. It seemed as if she was not interested in doing the work so I went somewhere else. I left a google review indicating my experience and the owner at the time automatically assumed that she was with a client and said that it is not fair to the other client. Here's the thing there wasn't a client but anyways fast forward to two months ago the new owner commented on the review talking about some we don't have a female artist are you sure this was our shop? Pretty much insulting my intelligence, and if you have google review underneath the comments it tells you how long ago that review was made. I contacted the owner and confronted them for insulting my intelligence and said that the review was made three years ago and I was told that it was not serious. First off insulting my intelligence and questioning what I know is serious. They will not receive another dime out of me. This shop has a lot of smart asses

I love a good tattoo flash sale to add more tiny pieces to my collection. I've been following…read moreLegacy Tattoo on social media for a while now and finally decided to jump on their weekly Tuesday deal. The check in process was smooth and the young ladies that greeted me when I walked in were really nice and helpful. After filling out my electronic paperwork I got a chance to look through the various artist books of work, and I also noticed the shop was very clean. Sarah, my tattoo artist, was really nice and completed the process effortlessly. Making sure the placement of my tattoo was exactly where I wanted and that I was happy with the finished product. From my arrival at Legacy Tattoo to the end of my session, it took about 40 minutes, which was pretty quick. I definitely plan on keeping Legacy Tattoo in mind for my next piece of body art.

I was elated to see that she was local to me. Upon our first meeting at my consultation in July 2024, I was not only warmly welcomed by the other artists who were at the shop, but really well taken care of by Amanda. When I went back for my first session a week later, I was comforted by how sanitary and clean and bright the shop is. I have been in many tattoo studios, but Legacy makes it obvious that sanitation is a top priority! I loved Amanda and the team at Legacy so much that I just went back for a second piece from her! My Medusa thigh piece was far and beyond what I could have ever imagined, and Amanda is truly one of the best! Her work speaks for itself, and I will sing her praises until I no longer have a voice. She is a consummate professional and a really wonderful and talented artist. On top of that, she is a truly lovely human. She is the only artist there that I have worked with, but the team of artists at Legacy is full of kind people who are very welcoming and personable. Other artists don't know me from Adam, but they always treat me like family when I am there. The owner, Jesse, is so funny and personable as well. I will be frequenting Legacy Tattoo (and Amanda's work) for many years and tattoos to come!

He told me what to expect and how much time each should take to line and shade, went to work expertly and nailed it almost to the minute for each. He left me well prepared for post-care. Great experience.

We left the shop with an expertly applied piercing and an in-depth app understanding of after care and the healing process. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing!
