My wife and I came up to Ashland for the weekend. She had been wanting to get a new tattoo for…read moreawhile and we decided to try and find a place in Ashland while we're here. We called Benjamin, who owns Universal Rites, and he was able to get us in the next day! We came in and the space has a really cool vibe. It's very comfortable, clean, and has a lot of fun artwork on the walls. He did such an amazing job with the tattoo and he was so great to work with. Also, the pricing felt very reasonable for the amount of time and effort he spent putting this together. If you're in Ashland then please check this place out!

I'd been wanting a mandala tattoo for years, for about six months while walking around Ashland when…read moreI'd see a good looking tattoo of a mandala I asked who did it. It's amazing but every single person I asked said "Megan at Galaxy Ink." I went in with an idea, within minutes Megan came up with a design. Once my wife got involved with the colors and I threw in a couple of thoughts it was done. The actual tattoo was a piece of cake, Megan is a pro and the results show.

I've been coming here for approx 15 years and continue to come back. You get what you ask for…read more Most of mine are custom designs working with Megan. I don't think I could say enough good things about her but if you want it done right from someone that listens, cares, so talented, well...look no further... I'm 63 and am going again today... she's awesome!

Even bringing in my own high quality jewelry that meets piercer standards, she still would only change out with pieces from the shop's preferred brand. Again not awful, but would only recommend simpler piercings. Wiloe was an awesome tattoo artist tho, 10/10! Edit, regarding comment from owner: this is retroactive based on my experience from a couple years ago (only recently got on Yelp) but with your comment I see your practices may have changed. Thanks!

I was a bit nervous about getting something permanent from a new artist. Well, ALL my worries were completely diminished when Mark, the owner, came out and sat with us to thoroughly discuss the good and bad of what "might" happen. He stayed with Charlie through the whole visit. Charlie was so incredibly genuine and really took the time to listen to our wants. You have to understand, these tattoos are very small crescent moons. So, with that being said...how much detail can one talk about. Well, she was so careful with the size, style, and also placement. I would definitely recommend Epic to ANYONE...from 18 to 80...they will treat you with kindness and make sure you are 100% happy when you leave! So impressed!! P.S. I am a grandma/53 yrs old

It is a studio attached to her home, so don't be afraid to walk up to the door and come in. Door is on side of house and well marked. I was so impressed with Mori's sketch book I decided to finally get the tattoo I always wanted. For 9 years I have looked for an artist who shared my asthetic. I went to several places in Seattle but never found a good fit. She worked with me until we got the design just the way I wanted. She was patient and kind. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Again, she was very thorough with her post-procedure instructions. As a nurse practitioner I was glad to see she had an autoclave for sterilizing her equipment and that she used new needles on each person. She carefully inspected each needle before use using a jeweler eyepiece. I would highly recommend Mori.

No one is expecting you to be, but we do expect you to do quality tattoos when you are yielding a tattoo gun to people's skin. This is permanent, forever. Absolutely atrocious, if you care about your body, your artwork don't let Mori come anywhere near you with a needle....and to add insult to injury, the crap she tries to sell you to heal your tattoo is awful and painful, not only is my tattoo horrific but infected as well from whatever vodoo stuff she gave me. Luckily she has a "light hand" as she brags, so maybe laser treatment will be able to get out this awful job.
