    Outlaw Prospector

    Got a new tattoo today from Jay. Super talented artist with a great attitude. Very clean shop. Price was right and I'll definitely be back. Thank you Jay.

    Jesse was able to touch up my poppy tattoo (previously done elsewhere) and make it come to life again. So pleased with it.

    I came in again recently on 4/14 with my coworker for their special. We were both able to get 2 small pieces by Simon. The atmosphere is very chill as are the artists there. They accept cash and card as well as other formats of payment like Zelle. I paid cash. They currently have a special like no other tattoo shop in the area at the moment, which is great for those looking to get quality art for an affordable price. You have a lil consult, fill out the form, they take your info and a copy of your ID before you start. They have a little seating area if you're gonna wait and offer to call you if you're already on the list and have checked in w/them if the wait time is long. Very, very accommodating & friendly staff. I had previously been tattooed here by Jesse. This time Simon worked with us to ensure we were happy with our art and placement. The work was great, we were both very pleased with the outcome. The conversation throughout the session was friendly and respectful. This is a very professional and clean environment run by a very chill guy with a great team. Look forward to returning again for more work soon.

    Getting covered up at connect ink

    My girlfriend and I found this tattoo shop on Instagram and came to check it out. We met Jay and he was very straightforward and honest he told us what he could do and for what price and we really appreciated the honesty we came in that weekend to get the cover-up done, and the place was very clean and the vibe was great. We had a great time while getting the tattoo done, and the finished product was better than anything we could have imagined! the pictures speak for themselves you cannot even see what was underneath, and that is rare. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH BAD ASS WORK! WE WILL DEFANITELY BE RETURNING FOR MORE! Your work is EPIC.

    Fibroblast with Amber
    Loren V.

    I went here twice over the last week to meet Amber who is doing her business out of this shop, @ambersdreamroom on IG, she was very kind and nice to me each time. The shop is small & tidy, nice advertising. I got fibroblast on my cheeks for $350 about 6 days ago, & I get to go back for a 2nd round in 6 weeks. So far so good. Very responsive. Her shop in Lakewood hasn't gotten cleared by the health department due to covid so she uses this tat shop for now. Otherwise street parking.

    Follow @davidtatts85 on Instagram to check out his work...it's stellar!! Went in to get a tat that reminds me of my son...the love of my life. David took my idea and made it better! Crisp and clean work. Great lines, cuz he designed it on his computer, so it came out perfect. He's an artist, so he can draw too! Shop is small, but clean. Guys we're cool that work there. You can message @davidtatts85 on Instagram for more info. You'll be more than satisfied. Oh, I want to add, this was my 14th tattoo and it was the second EASIEST & MOST COMFORTABLE tat I've done. He has a gentle hand and the pain was minimal. Seriously. He said he had a gentle hand, and I thought, "sure, Guy!", but he REALLY DID have an way about his needle work. I mean, it is a fucking needle going in and out of your arm, but it barely hurt. I love my tattoo, and so does my hubby, who HATES tattoos.

    Tattoo by Dee
    Tia L.

    The first time I came in, I loved the vibe and the energy of this place. I was greeted by Dee and she's awesome. Not only was her vibe amazing but her work was great as well. We've been working on a memorial sleeve for my boyfriend who passed away and she makes sure that I love the work before it's even on me. She listens and she's very understanding. It feels like I've known her for years. I've gotten at least 4 tattoos from her so far. I will be going back.

    I stumbled on this shop by complete accident, just while browsing and I had a really nice experience! The artists I had was named Jesse, and he printed out a few examples for me, it helped me decide what size I wanted. :) it was pretty quick and relatively painless and it came out exactly how I wanted it. The inside was clean and cool, especially on a hot day, so I felt comfortable. Jesse was really helpful and entertaining. I definitely had fun getting this one done. I highly recommended him and this business overall.

    Irish for Cheers and Good Health. Done by Jay.

    Stopped by to get a feel for this shop since I've never been. Showed the artist what I wanted and lucky for me he wasn't busy. Jay was so cool... Which made me feel more relaxed. He had such a light touch, I almost fell asleep. He did such a great job. I'll definitely be back.

    Did an old tattoo coverup .. I was so scared only tattoo I had .. price was worth it had to wait a couple of weeks but so worth it ...Jesse aka Jay did a great job.. i recommend them for sure ... clean working space !!! No regrets

    Kimberly A.

    Best experience ever! Came here with my cousin to get my first tattoo. First thing that struck me was how clean it is there. Aside from that the people here are so friendly chill and very helpful. Since it was my first tattoo, my tattoo artist, Simon first made sure I felt comfortable and confident before starting. Simon was very reassuring, patient, and calm. He knew exactly how to calm my nerves and enjoy my experience. I definitely recommend coming here. Update: it has been months since I first got my tattoo. The after care was clear and simple to follow. Surprisingly there was little to no flaking. I want to believe it was because of how "religiously" I followed their aftercare instructions. I love my tattoo and am thinking of returning to get another one.

    Good vibes only!

    Thanks to Jay for making my first tattoo experience so awesome! He was very patient and explained everything very thoroughly. I'm really happy with the final result!

    Went in today to get my very first tattoo and I couldn't be more pleased. Chesto did my tattoo, and I absolutely love it! He did it exactly how I wanted it. The guys there are super friendly, and I already can't wait to go back.

Their tattoos always looked clean, professional, and creative, so I felt confident booking with him. For my first tattoo, Michael was able to take me as a walk-in, which I really appreciated. Even though I didn't have an appointment, I never felt rushed. I explained what I wanted verbally, and he immediately sketched up a design that was exactly what I had in mind. From start to finish, I was tattooed in less than an hour. It's been a few weeks now, and it has healed beautifully. I went back for a second tattoo, a small rib piece. I had sent him the font I liked beforehand, and when I got there, he whipped up a few size suggestions to help me choose what looked best. He took the time to make sure everything was spelled correctly and placed exactly the way I wanted before we started. Both experiences have been fantastic. Michael is professional, clean, efficient, and genuinely cares about the quality of his work. His workstation was spotless, and for my rib tattoo, he even used a clean drape on the bed to make sure I was comfortable while lying on my side. If you're looking for a tattoo artist who is talented, creative, detail-oriented, and respectful of your time, I highly recommend Michael. I've had two great experiences with him, and I'll definitely be working with him again on
