Been debating a micro tattoo on my hand and decided to pull the trigger last minute. The shop is in a cute part of town which added to the fun. Sadie understood the assignment right away. Didn't have to over explain myself on the design and helped me nail down placement that looked way better than the placement I originally wanted. It was done fast but with precision, not heavy handed so the pain was minimal. She also has a really fun personality, again adding to a great experience. Super happy with the process from start to finish. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Great services....Brad's design and work is second to none and Sadie made sure I was comfortable!

Couldn't be more impressed with this shop. Sadie was amazingly talented and professional. I would drive 15 hours to have a sitting with her again. She took a photo of a precious memory and turned it into a lasting piece of art that I will cherish forever. read more

I've gotten 3 tattoos here. Great experience! So clean! Tattoo artists are really awesome, artwork is so cool and there's flip books to look thru of their work. I get simple tattoos, but they always take good care to listen to style and size and placement. Highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Incredible tattoo shop, cannot recommend enough!! Walked in with a group of 10 and Keller was incredible to all of us! Clean, efficient and talented!! read more

Keller did an awesome job with my fiancé's cover up tattoo. The guys in the shop are super nice, I called the day before and they set us up with an appointment the next day. He was super fast, did awesome work, and we are soooo happy with the results (since it's on my fiancé's shoulder I'm looking at it most of the time lol!). Would definitely recommend the shop to anyone, and will be going back if the hubby wants another tat! read more

Recently took a solo trip to Tampa and St. Pete about a month ago. I was walking down Central Ave being a bit of a tourist and noticed this tattoo shop. I had been thinking about getting a new tattoo for a few months and figured why not now. Ryan was my artist and honestly he was really nice and understood the concept of what I wanted immediately (it was just a simple lightning bolt but still). Even though the tattoo is small, it's so sharp and clean. The tattoo has a deep meaning to me and even though I didn't bother telling Ryan that, he still produced an amazing piece of art for me (again, even though it's tiny, it's mighty). I'm actually considering coming back when I visit again and eventually move to St. Pete. The shop was quiet, quaint, and clean. Would recommend to anyone I knew in the area! read more

I came to the area on vacation, and on a whim decided to cover up an arrow I hated, Aaron took my in right away and free handed all of these birth month flowers one for my husband one for my mom and one for dad! This is the first time I've left a tattoo shop and absolutely loved the work instantly with no regrets!!! My friend also got her very first tattoo there. The guys there were so sweet and nice! I'd recommend the shop to anyone in the area! Next time I'm in the area I will be back in a heart beat! Don't hesitate, just book with this place you won't be disappointed! read more

I got my first tattoo here today, and I could not be happier with the results. I saw Ryan Cullen, an incredible artist. He was gentle and made me feel very comfortable the entire time. I have never seen a cleaner, brighter tattoo shop, so for anyone to whom sanitation and a happy atmosphere is important, you've found the right place. Thank you to Classic Tattoos ! read more

So Aaron gave me what he referred to as "the worst tattoo he's ever done!" I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely 5 star experience. Ryan is so quick yet so comforting. This was my first tattoo and the overall experience was amazing, would recommend this shop to anyone who asks. Such a cool looking shop Thank Ryan!! read more

If you are looking for a traditional tattoo, this is where you want to get it done. All 3 artists are great. My favorite is Ryan! He has done a full sleeve for me and he is very flexible. I highly recommend!!! read more

5 stars just doesn't do this tattoo shop or its artists justice! I'm so thankful someone suggested I give Ryan a call when I was looking for a new tattoo artist. He not only does amazing, precise, clean tattoos but he also has a gift for being able to hear an abstract idea or thought you may have and somehow turning it into exactly what you want. And to say that he is a nice guy is an incredible understatement! I'm not sure if it's something they are pumping through the vents but there is always such a positive and comfortable vibe that you can feel as soon as you walk through the door and its absolutely contagious. I've never been there without seeing a smile or overhearing chatter from other clients saying what a great place this is and how nice everyone is and how, like myself, they wish they had found it sooner. I've actually had 7 friends follow me over to Classic Tattoos after seeing the work Ryan has done on me. I didn't think it was possible to ever find a tattoo shop that does beautiful work, has friendly artists and a comfortable atmosphere but it really does exist! read more

My mom and I were walk -ins. Keller was great at accommodating what we both wanted on short notice. He did a fantastic job keeping my mind off the pain by asking questions and cracking jokes. Everyone was super friendly and my tattoo came out perfect! Thanks for a beautiful, meaningful piece to add to my growing collection. read more

Keller is an exceptional artist. I have trusted him with my tattoo ideas and he has always, always come through for me and created designs that are perfect. I always leave incredibly happy with my tattoos. As an artist myself, I am very particular about my tattoos, and I won't go to anyone but Keller now because the trust is solid. He's a stand up dude. The shop is a feast for the eyes and has so many tributes to the forefathers of tattooing. You simply cannot go wrong with Classic Tattoos if you appreciate traditional tattoos. read more

Thanks Ryan, at 59, Ryan did my first tattoo. He listened to what I wanted and created it for me. I was a walk in and he was ready and willing. I went back for #2, even better!! read more

This shop is amazing! I went here a little over a year ago to get my spur of the moment Nightmare Before Christmas thigh piece and it turned out so better than expected. I was looking up tattoo shops on Google and came across this one, liked their work so I called and told them I had a piece my tattoo itch needed to have fulfilled that day, they said be there in an hour and a half and it'd be done. Keller did an amazing job and I couldn't be more happier. Even after a year the color and shading looks perfectly placed. The price was exactly what I hoped it would be so I was able to tip pretty well. I know where I'll go for my next big piece! read more

This shop is so awesome and comfortable. Keller did a forearm piece on me and I felt calm the whole time simply because of the atmosphere of the shop. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a traditional tattoo. Don't sleep on it. read more

I love everything about this shop. All of the artists are amazing, professional, and easy to get along with! Ryan is my artist and he is incredibly talented. I'm not super creative myself, but if I have an idea, I know Ryan can turn my vision into the perfect tattoo. I'd been to other tattoo shops in the past, but I've never felt as comfortable or connected to an artist than at Classic Tattoos. It is worth the hour drive for me, and I know I've found the shop that I'm going to continue going to for the rest of my tattoos! read more
