Andrew the owner/ operator of Avenue Tattoo Studio is the man and I will quickly tell you why. I am currently serving in the U.S. Air Force at Sheppard AFB Texas. I visited the shop on Saturday the 19th of July 2014 with the desire to do a half sleeve of Old Glory or to the socialist/ Libs that read this, the American/ United States flag. He was busy with a customer in the chair and one waiting. Andrew took the time to chat briefly about the design. I had asked if he could sketch me his rough draft and then if we were both happy we would lay it down. He is closed Sun-Mon as to have a life with his family. I did not expect work until Tuesday or Monday late at the earliest. We were both excited of the prospect, however he texted me a design that Saturday night late. It looked awesome so he asked me what schedule worked for me. To sum up the shop in a few words professional, accommodating, uber talented, and last but not least humble. Any one person can slam the other artist in town and overstate their toughness with all their ink. This was a military friendly do?che bag free zone. This is the guy I would send my family to.

Holy shit Andrew is a bad ass. Along w every other artist in the shop.. they all were checking on me and my tattoo throughout the entire 5 hours I was there, and when I was done they all couldn't wait to see it. They genuinely cared about me, my tattoo and my experience. Andrew his self is fucking hillarious and worked w me the entire time ( letting me take breaks bc I'm a bitch lol ) I can't wait to go back and I've bragged about my experience to every single person I know! Pay these people a visit it's worth the drive if you live in the city, Tulsa or freaking New York City. Can't wait to come back! read more

Andrew, Nick, and Mike are three extremely talented tattoo artists. They all have their specialties but they can rock the hell out of any tattoo. I haven't seen one yet that wasn't amazing and I've seen at least six done personally, and multiple others that they've done before. If you're going to trust anyone to put something permanent on your body, there's no one around that's better than these guys. Not only is their work amazing, but they're just really cool guys who make the whole process easy and fun. Two thumbs way up to this place, it's the shit. read more

Two of the coolest and nicest guys I know. They don't make you feel like you're wasting their time by just coming in and hanging out. They'll have you laughing most of the time and it helps to keep your mind off of the pain. They try to make sure you are as comfortable as can be. Andrew is almost done completing a full leg sleeve that I get compliments on at least once a day from strangers, and Mike absolutely killed my back piece. They can take care of anything you need and kick ass at it. I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. read more
