Before I realized, we were done and my nose was sparkling with my new piece of jewelry! I wish I remember the name of the technician to give her a shout out, but if you're reading this, you were awesome :) Afterwards, I was explained the healing process and how I needed to take care of my new nose ring. Overall, it was a great experience. I think most importantly to me is that the staff made me feel safe, welcomed, and I felt informed of what was about to happen which me being nervous, made a huge difference! Ps. I think the nose ring looks epic ;) thank you!

Man, what a great experience…read more I had been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for some time and kept putting it off and naturally the state of the world had me delay it even more. I begun researching it more recently and then received an email notice from Yelp regarding Ink Addiction and what they were doing to stay safe during these times. I called it a sign and put in a request for a consultation. Making the consultation was easy and within a day or two I was over there, talking to the tattoo artist, Mel who would help me design my overall tattoo. I gave her the concept and outline, she did the rest. The consult took about 15 minutes and an appointment was made. There is $100 deposit you must put down to hold the reservation that ultimately goes toward the price of your tattoo. She gives you the rate and then the appointment is scheduled. A few days later I was back. Due to social distancing and such, it was just her and I in the shop. I noticed immediately just how clean this place was. I wish some restaurants looked this good. The session took four hours (exactly what she promised me). And I couldn't be happier with the results. She took her time with everything, applying ointment so my skin wouldn't dry out. She took pristine care of my tattoo and of me. She offered me breaks if needed and was really easy to work with. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with it if I tried. I have zero complaints. I always say after this I'm done, but I'm sure I'm not and I'll absolutely be going back to Ink Addiction for my future tattoo.

Went here on a quick trip we were on , here is my review:…read more Staff friendly , funny and actually listen to what you are asking for. Decent prices great artists.

I would recommend this place 100 percent its very clean and not over crowded like some shops. Also Bob Ross art videos a bonus. If I am ever in Ft Lauderdale again I will definitely pay them a visit. If you are in the market for a tattoo you should visit them too ...cheer's

So, immediately, I wanted one, too. I have had four tattoos before, all cosmetic (2 eyebrows and 2 eyeliners). So this was a senior citizen whim fueled by my great love for Snoopy and wanting to have something done to match my kids. But I also wanted a purple rose, my favorite flower with my favorite color. So my daughter and I went to the shop. She had an old (not-so-good) cherry blossom tattoo redone, and I got my Snoopy with a purple rose. We absolutely love them! The artists are extremely friendly, oozing with talent, and work with you to get a rendition of exactly what you want before they ink the tattoo. (Shout-out to Jose and Cesar!) The place is very professional, clean (spotless), and bright. You even get to see the unopened ink (and it's expiration date) before it is used on you. They use a topical agent to lessen the pain. But it really was minimal and well worth it for the final product. Prices are reasonable. You can get an estimate before the work begins. P.S. I decided to add a smile to my Snoopy, and they did it the next day without any hassles and at no extra charge!

My husband and I always pass the shop by when we're headed to the restaurant next-door so finally we were able to dip our feet in the water through the Friday the 13th flash tattoo special. What I found amazing about the special was that it was extremely organized. Most shops that host Friday the 13th tattoos are always slammed, pricey, and even after waiting in line for hours and filling out forms, it's not even guaranteed that you will be able to get tattooed. Earlier this week the owner announced on the Instagram story feed that they would be hosting Friday the 13th tattoos. He listed out all instructions, and that individuals who were looking to get tattooed could come in Wednesday and Thursday preselect their artist designs and appointment times for Friday that way it insured everyone was able to get a chance to get a tattoo and it flowed smoothly for the artist. If you did sign up for an appointment ahead of time you only paid $30, if you decided to come in day of and there were appointments available it would be $50. They also offered $31 off of piercings so I went in early, decided to take them up on the special. I selected Amanda as my artist and a cute cat design. This gave me the opportunity to meet her since I follow her on Instagram and loved all of her designs, but I haven't been able to commit to a bicep piece until I could see firsthand how well she did with a smaller tattoo. I have PTSD from running into a few artist who screwed up a few of my tattoos, and resulted in cover ups or chewed up my skin so bad it left scarring. The shop was immaculate and sterile . It smelled cleaner than a doctors office. Amanda was kind quick, but did a thorough job with my tattoo I barely felt any pain throughout the process. The only time I felt something was when she decided to clean the tattoo with alcohol then there was a slight burn. I loved the end result and I hope to set up a conversation with her soon to discuss and bigger piece. The whole staff was amazing including the receptionist who actually remembered me when I came back. The owner took be by surprise at how approachable and kind he was. I've met a few others who were stuck up, off putting, or wouldn't give you the time of day. He was the complete opposite and even spoke to husband for awhile about designs for Japanese tattoos. If you're looking for a shop of talented and kind artist i highly recommend checking out one of their two locations. You can review artist profiles on their website or call if you have any questions.

She let me know about the process, walk ins, bookings, etc. She was definitely friendly and professional. We walked in around 845pm and met with Erick. My wife had a few ideas and he was quick to react. He showed confidence that you want from a tattoo artist but he also offered his opinion to avoid compromising the piece which sometimes leads to a bad tattoo. He gave us the price, which was the shop min, and we were rolling. He took the time to sketch it out and explain how the tattoo would be placed and look. He also showed us, every step, how the process worked and how everything was clean and sterile. After a quick stencil placement, the tattoo was started and completed in about 5 minutes. (Quill) His calm demeanor and friendly disposition lead to a second tattoo which wasn't even planned. Another conversation and sketch and we were into number two. This one came with a little more detail but Erick did a great job. He talked with my wife the whole way and kept her focused on being calm and just enjoying the process. This one took a little longer due to the additional detail but it came out just as good. (Palm tree, sun and the word Breathe) Ericks talent is only rivaled by his easy going mentality. I would recommend him to anybody who wants not only a great tattoo, but a fantastic overall tattoo experience. We will back to black water to ask for Erick.

My experience at Borrowed time was beyond all of my highest expectations that any parlor could ever be. I was looking at places in NYC and all over the country to make sure that I was going to the right place and to the right person who could not only understand but artistically perfect my vision. I found all of that and BEYOND at Borrowed Time... The studio is a beautifully designed space filled with exuberant artwork and an amazing energy that makes you instantly feel like you're at home. These guys are absolute pros! Extreme talent and passion exudes throughout the room seeing excited faces walk in and satisfied faces walk out. Happy banter and friendly visits from the crew as well as friends and regulars made my 9 hour sitting not only tolerable but an absolute pleasure. It was my first tattoo and a large sternum piece so my nerves were off the chain and I didn't know what to expect. Jon Nelson created the most exquisite piece and his calming down to earth demebour combined with an easy flow of conversation and a meticulous eye for detail saw all of my nerves put to rest and my wildest expectations exceeded. My tattoo is a masterpiece and now this artist and this place is a special part of me that I will never forget and will always want to remember. 10 000 stars if possible... I'm already planning my next visit. If you're on the fence, you're in the best hands and you've come to the right place :) read more

On vacation my two nieces and I decided to go for tattoos. Not being from Florida we didn't know where to go. We arrived at Borrowed tattoo and from the minute we walked in and we were greeted by Jon and Seth and had the best experience ever. All three of us had gotten tattoos before so we had and idea what to expect. These guys blew everyone else out of the water. I had mine done by Dan who after looking at another tattoo on my arm and I wanted my new one to be a bit different came up with a design I could not believe. He knew exactly how I wanted it and now I have the best out of four tattoos . Anyone traveling to Ft Lauderdale looking for a tat don't think of going anywhere else. read more

Borrowed Time Tattoos is top notch. I was on vacation in Fort Lauderdale with my daughter. She had gotten a tattoo in Daytona to commemorate our vacation. I decided to do the same when we got to Fort Lauderdale. Seth was very helpful in connecting me with an artist who does insane realism. Nate Miller was able to get me in on short notice. I emailed him a close up picture of my cat, explaining that I eventually want sleeves. He really did her picture justice. His detailing is absolutely amazing; so much so, that I told him I'll have to vacation down here again to get the other half of her face on the other forearm! Thank you, Nate read more

I believe they're normally by appointment only, so this probably isn't a common practice for them. The shop is charming, there's lots of personality in the room but it is a small space with very limited seating in the waiting area.

Awesome work , super professional and cool. Love my new tattoo , got in on vacation down here…read more Highly recommend Eric !!!!

had a very unprofessional and uncomfortable experience with tattoo artist Desmond. When I arrived,…read morehe asked if I could help him find Adderall pills, which I found completely inappropriate. I had a terrible experience with Eric, the owner of Bulldogs Tattoos. I clearly explained how I wanted my tattoo to look and even provided a printed draft for reference. He went ahead and completed the tattoo, but once it was finished, I immediately noticed several imperfections. Instead of taking responsibility, he made excuses and claimed the placement of the tattoo was the reason it turned out the way it did. If the placement was an issue or affected his ability to execute the design properly, that should have been communicated beforehand--not after the work was done. When I expressed my concerns, he continued to blame the placement rather than owning his mistakes or offering to fix them. This experience was extremely unprofessional and disappointing. No one should have to go through something like this.

I don't have any tats, but for my husbands birthday I got him his second tattoo. We had been…read moresuggested Crossed Keys Society from a friend, and we were really happy with the service, work, and ambiance! I wasn't able to join him while he got his tattoo because of covid, but I was able to look around. The place is decorated with fun artwork and you will find something fun wherever you look. My husband asked for a design that he came up with, and the artist was able to take his ideas and make it into a beautiful piece of art. The tattoo was beautifully done, intricate, and unique. I was super excited when it came time to pay- super affordable for what you get! They were booked several weeks out, so if you are looking to get a high quality tattoo make sure you plan in advance! Definitely will be back for more of his tattoos.

From the moment you enter, you can see the emphasis on acceptance of all lifestyles - something that obviously is very important to some people who may have had bad experiences in the past. I'd been speaking with Timmy for about a month, who drew up a design and made sure I was happy before booking in the date. No fears of not seeing something that was hastily put together the morning of the appointment for sure. The artists working were all very friendly, and there was a good atmosphere for the afternoon while I was being worked on. Obviously the most important thing is how the piece turns out, but the second is definitely how you were treated and that usually dictates whether a return visit is on the cards. With restaurants it's easy to recommend a place with flaws to friends and families as it's not the end of the world if they take a risk that doesn't work out. With tattooing it's naturally more important to be confident before recommending, and I'd have no issue with passing Crossed Keys info on to friends. I'm sure I'll be back in the future.
