I can't say enough nice things about Ray and his work. I contacted Ray about having a half sleeve done, I have other tattoos but I'd never had anything done on that scale before and I was kinda nervous. From my first email to Ray I knew I'd made the right choice, not only is he an amazing artist but he listened to my ideas and made me feel incredibly comfortable. I've gone to other tattoo shops before and they've made me feel out of place and uncomfortable because I'm not covered head-to-toe in tattoos, Ray never once made me feel that way or like my concept was silly. He took my idea of wanting butterflies all over my arm and turned it into a tattoo more beautiful than I could imagine. I get a compliment at least once a day on my tattoo and we're not even finished yet, I can't wait till it's completed! I would highly recommend Ray to anyone who is looking for a great tattoo artist. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Before going to Ray, I only had one tiny tattoo behind my ear. It didn't hurt at all because of how small it is. I want my body completely covered but I'm petrified of pain. After going a few times with my boyfriend, Jesse (who also gets tattooed by Ray), Ray and him finally talked me into starting my full leg piece. Ray is very considerate and patient with his clients. He actually cares about their opinions and how they react to getting tattooed. I've never felt so comfortable about doing something so drastic to my body. His art is beautiful, his mind is beyond creative, and he's full of nothing but talent and kindness. He makes his clients feel at home. After my first few sessions, the pain doesn't even matter to me anymore. I just want more and more tattoos. I describe my tattoos to everyone as masterpieces and I will never see another artist other than Ray. read more

As the parent of the girl getting her first tattoo, I have to say I was a little skeptical about a tattoo place, but Ryan and Ray made us feel comfortable and welcome, the place is very professional looking and the ambiance very friendly. The work that Ryan did was more than amazing. He's a very talented artist, he took his time to get the job done right, took breaks when my daughter needed to and didn't rush at all. We were happy with the end result, my daughter gets many compliments on her tattoo, we recommend Cosmic Primate to anyone interested in getting a professional tattoo from great artists in the area. Thank you Ryan!! read more
