First time I wrote it off as "guess someone had a bad day". But after the second time it was more like "no these are genuinely pissy people who do terrible cursive tattoos, trampstamps, and baby's feet tattoos of baby's who don't know their father. Just the worst attitude mixed with the most hard-core white trash vibe on Earth. Finally found another shop and told the guy about my experiences with this place and he said "yeah they get me at least half my business". Save yourself the trouble, go literally anywhere else.

This one happens to be the story of adding art to my skin by the best that I found here in the south. For me, it is almost a 3 hour drive from my home. But because I travel there with my daughter, we make a day of it. We have been traveling to Alabama for our tattoos since 2017. The tattoo artists that are at Abro are personable and amazing! They are our extended family. Each artist has their own talent, and their own style. The array of technique and vision for each artist is unique and each piece of work is done with expertise. I am pretty sure that we will not go any place else as long as we can travel Across the border to Alabama.

As a person that now has several tattoos from the Artistic Ink Shop, I would highly recommend Artistic Ink. The owner, Jeff is very honest, personable, easy to work with when it comes to a tattoo or piercing you may want. Kao Kikuyama, one of the best tattoo artists around is the same way. They are there to help you with that art piece you have chosen to have on your body. They are very meticulous when it comes to their work, they take pride in what they are doing. The shop is super clean, I personally like and even look at their safety procedures and how that works. It's on the walls to where you see for yourself how the shop is maintained. I feel confident with their work, confident in the cleanliness of the shop and I know when I walk out I am a very happy customer that is in love with my tattoo/tattoos. I have had so many people run me down to look at my tattoos and ask me where I got them. It's such a huge compliment to me and makes me feel great when people want to know the story or stories behind my tattoos. When you walk into Artistic Ink for the first time for a tattoo, piercing or just look around you will walk in as a stranger but as you leave, you will leave as their friend. read more

I am a return customer many times over, and I highly recommend Artistic Ink to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing. Jeff is a meticulous business owner and artist and it shows at Artistic Ink! You won't find a cleaner ,more organized shop, or two better people to serve you. A customer becomes a lifelong friend at this shop. Just ask anyone who knows Jeff or Kao if you want to hear about integrity. From service at the youth football league, to the community at large, to the service in defense of our country, character is a word with meaning, and a bussiness is an extension of the men running it. You will be happy with their work and ad a new family member at the same time. I guarantee it! read more

I've been a repeat customer of Artistic Ink GSV for going on 10 years now and absolutely love the staff and service! Both Jeff and Kao are amazingly talented artists! The shop is always neat and very clean! Which in my opinion is of major importance! I highly recommend Artistic Ink for all your tattoo and piercing needs! Even if you're not in the market for new ink or piercings stop by and check the place out! You won't leave disappointed! read more
