With a laid back atmosphere, you can tell they are in it for the art rather than just cranking out a ton of sea turtles for tourists (unless that's what you want in which case they can do that, too!) After care was a breeze as his light touch meant no bleed at all. Picture is 6 months on. Give them a call to set up your time. You won't be disappointed!

I was very lucky to be referred to Evan McGuigan tattoo artist at IronBridgetatoos…read more I met with Evan to have him look at a very special picture of my father who has passed away and wanted to have this tattooed on my shoulder. Evan does all kinds of world class tattoos and also specializes in portrait tattoos too! He took time to listen to my story and helped me with making my decision on the best way to put this on my shoulder. He is extremely professional, great attitude, friendly and a 17 year experienced tattoo artist. The day I came in for my appointment to have my tattoo done. Evan walked me through the process to make sure I was completely comfortable and he answered all my questions. During the process Evan always made sure I was comfortable and asked if I needed any breaks during the process. The tattoo was completed as he promised to look like the picture I provided. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Evan and the company. This business is extremely clean and they take all precautions to make sure everything is clean and safe for your tattoo experience. If you're looking to have a professional tattoo! I would absolutely go see Evan for an appointment. You will be happy you took the time to meet with him! Services Fine line tattoos

Just came back from vacation and we wanted to get a tattoo as a memory for our awesome vacation…read more Although the shop was clean, and people seemed very knowledgeable and nice I was not impressed with the work. I do believe that the senior artist does amazing work from what was shown in books and portfolio and I admire that his son is taking in his foot prints but his son Isiahs work was less than satisfying. Really bummed that I decided to get my tattoo done there. Now I have to find another artist to fix up the mistakes. I'll post the pics of what we wanted and what we got... On another note I was told the derm film would protect my tattoo. Well it seems he forgot to put the moisture before the film so it ripped off a lot of my tattoo. Really bummed. My aunt lives in the Bay Area and is hoping to get a portrait of her fur baby very soon but it will be from the father. Hopefully he can fix what his son did.

The only reason I went here was because it was the last day of our vacation and I honestly thought…read morethe tattoo I wanted was impossible to mess up. I was wrong. When we called to make an appointment they didn't take down our names (red flag number one) and when we got to the shop no one remembered taking our call of setting up the appointment with us. I was charged $100 for honestly the worst tattoo I've ever gotten, that the artist spent 3 minutes and 15 seconds on (the iPad connected to the tattoo gun counts how long they spend on the tattoo). I'll let the picture of my tattoo speak for itself. It's honestly super simple line work that an amateur could have done better and now I'm stuck with what looks like a janky prison tattoo. Lesson learned, we won't return. Also it's only been a little over two weeks and look how much ink has fallen out.

I booked a time for one of the last days with Vayda about two months before my trip. Communication was always easy and she was reassuring that we would come up with something to memorialize my special pup that had recently passed. Once I was on the island, we met up for a consult to touch base and finalize some details. Vayda was super nice, great steady hand, and quick as well! She even spent time sharing a homemade oatmeal soap recipe to help with the irritation from the soap I had been using. She truly went above and beyond for me and I can't be more thankful. I obviously highly recommend Rise Above Ink. The owner, Shiloh and his daughter both were just as pleasant. This place is gold, come see for yourself!
