thigh tat (not fully healed- next day photo)

Mike did a fantastic job on my tattoos! I got my first tattoo here and he was so patient and made sure I got everything the way I wanted it. The shop is so cool looking and the music is such a vibe too. Mike is super friendly, so professional, and thorough! He worked rlly quickly too and made sure I had all the info I needed. Best shop ever!!

Awesome Experience! Thank you Enrique, we're in love with our Elephants!!! Went in and had a consult with Enrique as this was the first tattoo my daughters and I were getting and wanted to feel comfortable with the shop and staff. Enrique was fantastic, made us feel confident with his knowledge and for us to move forward to book our appointment. Arrived the next afternoon and went over the artwork and placement which was a great success! The vibe at the shop was welcoming and easy going, just what's needed for us first timers. As seen in the pictures below, Enrique did not disappoint! The artwork was well done and turned out AMAZING! We are so freaking happy with our results and the decision to chose Death or Glory Tattoo Parlour. Thank you again for making this such an enjoyable experience and life time memory for me and my girls!

Yooooo, you I've been to this spot 3 times and each time, I've loved it! I walked in to this job on a random Sunday after horrible customer service from another place in town, and the team at Death or Glory were very open and receptive to having me as a client. I've seen Jesus (literally) there, and he is amazing! I come in with my random, ideas and he gives me honest feedback (he's not just trying to make a buck) and helps me bring my ideas to life. He's the guy and this is the place for all my Gainesville tattoos!

I went for a walk in tattoo yesterday (7/6/21). The staff I interacted with were all very friendly and welcoming. I don't know the name of the person who actually did my tattoo, but he was very efficient and the tattoo turned out great. It only took about 15-20 minutes. The place and process itself was very clean, and I am very happy with the results!

this tattoo was done by Nick. it's a memorial tattoo for a lost family member. so unfortunate. we were dumb for not noticing before he began.....but you would think a professional tattoo artist would notice such a huge mistake. especially because he's the one who typed it out. hope he sees this and learns from his mistake

My first tattoo was at BT in Gainesville, FL. I was less than happy with their customer service and the artist took a meal break in the middle of working. I vowed to find a quality place for my next tattoo so I asked around. I received a lot of recommendations but almost all agreed that Mike at Death or Glory was the man to do the large winged lion I wanted. I went in with multiple picture for my idea and he perfectly integrated all the concepts. I just got finished having him do my other shoulder with a dragon around the Celtic cross I already had. His use of color and shading made it come alive! I could not be happier! Death or Glory has a classic feel and professional tattooists with the best modern equipment! Check them out!

Best damn tattoo parlour! There is so much to say so let me break it down: Atmosphere: Part of the experience of getting a tattoo is the atmosphere. Not only is this place extremely clean but it has the feel of a true vintage WW2 Era tattoo parlour. Other artists: Every artists in that building is a master of their craft. When they weren't tattooing they were drawing or doing something productive to perfect their craft....not moping around the building complaining about a piece they don't want to do. Mike Mehaffey as an artist: Aside from the fact that this was my first tattoo from Mike...I researched my artists (as most should do) to get a piece I have been wanting for years but couldn't find the right artist for. Mike corresponded back and forth with me over email and then made several revisions that I wanted showing me the same interest as he did when I first approached him. When sitting down to get the tattoo Mike did more prep work to his equipment than I have ever seen anyone do...and I'm pretty industry educated. If I'm going to carry something for life...and it's not an STD....jk.....Mike set the standard for whom I'm willing to work with....and in my case moving forward it will only be Mike because my tattoo is flawless! Mike as a business owner: Every shop that I have been to in Florida Tattoo, Retail, Restaurant.....whatever can take a lesson from this place. Every artist and person in this place has a goal of providing the best product with the best customer service based on a standard set by Mike. This place is ran like a true Business where the customer is first. I'm a business owner and I'm quite the jerk about what I expect. In Summary: Other than my first piece of art from Death or Glory I have never met Mike...I'm not his long lost cousin giving him a great review. It's 6:20 am and I can't sleep so rather listen to my wife complain about me turning in bed I figure I would sit in my living room and give someone the credit they have earned. If you want a piece of art that you can enjoy for a lifetime go to Death or Glory.....if you want to get tatted....go to any of the other idiots in town! read more

I had a tattoo once. It looked like a ten year old's hand-drawn science project, and was done by a couple in Detroit. The work was done in their home, because they were under house arrest. They charged me $200. For the same price, you can go to Death or Glory and get a professional, clean, painstakingly beautiful piece of art. Lee did an incredible job on the tattoo in question and is in all respects an artist. He has my complete confidence. I am under the impression that his work is worth a lot more than he charges (though I'm not saying the tattoos are cheap). read more

I travelled from Tallahassee just yesterday to get my tattoo with katie after she had a last-minute cancellation. Let me just say it was totally worth the 2.5 hour drive. Katie made my vision come to life. She was very flexible with pricing and size. I'll post pictures and let the artwork speak for itself, but I am over the moon happy with this tattoo. I would definitely recommend not only Katie, but this whole shop for anyone looking for a great place to get a tattoo. read more

Death or Glory is owned by some of my favorite dudes in town. As a lifetime resident of Gainesville, and having now been getting tattooed for over a decade, I can attest to the solid work these men AND lady put out! I have well over 30 hours of work done by the tattooers in this shop on myself, including by Kristyn, Lee, Mike and Rob, who did my first tattoo back in '04.This crew genuinely cares about their clients and the work they put out. With circulating guest artists there is always a chance to be tattooed by someone great in this community who you might not get a chance to! The shop is clean, the hand-painted signage on the windows is authentic, and the flash is classic. No TVs, no awful radio. Just good conversation and great books to leaf through. Whether you are just dabbling with the idea of a tattoo or getting ready to sit for a few hours, this diverse crew of honest artists is where I go. I sincerely love all of the wok I have done by this crew that I consider great friends. Being able to grab a locally made sandwich and craft soda right next door at pop-a-top (another local joint) is also a major plus when considering staying hydrated and fed for the sit! Take your time, relax and enjoy the process! read more

Just got tattooed last night by Katie Ryan. It was my second tattoo, and I have to say that this is my favorite tattoo shop. From the moment my sister and I walked in, we were immediately greeted with a smile and a welcoming energy. Katie had drawn my tattoo out prior (emailing her helps, she gets busy bc she's way talented!) and it was exactly what I was imagining. I had no idea where I wanted it, if I wanted color or just line work, so she helped me figure those aspects out with no push for the more pricey option. She ended up spending about an hour and a half on my tattoo, but was more than accommodating with breaks as I needed them. She talked to us the whole time and was extremely patient with my sister- it's hard for her to sit still, and she had too for about 2 hours. I noticed how clean everyone was as well (always a plus). Honestly, don't think twice. Go to death or glory. They're more than accommodating, funny, open to challenges. I think they truly enjoy talking with their clients to get exactly what they are looking for. And I left with a free aftercare kit; some shea butter cream, sticker and instructions. read more

The shop is beautiful and they are A+ at being clean and sterile. In all the years I've had work done by them (even prior to Death or Glory), I've never had a problem.

They treat every customer that comes in like family, and ease any nerves that come with piercing/needles. I came to Pizzazz since I had gotten my ear lobes done prior, but the place I went to was very very sketchy and did an absolutely horrible job using the piercing gun (the piercing hole almost was on the edge of my ear). This piercing job had hurt tremendously, causing me to be very fearful of getting pierced again, but really longed to get them done again since the prior piercings had closed up. Kim explained to me that Pizzazz is unique in that instead of using a machine, Bob uses a needle and does each piercing by hand. To my surprise, the earlobe piercing had almost no pain, unlike a piercing machine. In fact, the piercing went so well, that I came back again to get both my septum and left nostril done, which both also had little to no pain. Kim also is so amazing in that she provides her number to text if any issues or problems arise. She answers so quickly and is very clear everytime.

They will ask any questions and make you feel at ease. They are so easy to talk to and it feels like you've known them for some time even if it's you're first time at the shop. We quickly started talking my bf and i about anime and studio Ghibli. They are so easy to get along with and so cool as well. Anyways back to the piercing ...I got a nose piercing the first time I came and it was such an impulsive move since I was driving by and my sister had previously gotten a piercing and wanted to look at some of their products they had so we went in. Another time I went intentionally to get a second ear piercing next to my first ear piercing I got when I was a little girl. Both times Bob relaxed me and made sure I was comfortable. Reassured me everything would be ok since I get a little nervous and usually close my eyes to disassociate. Both times I got an infection & I was out of town both times for some reason and wasn't able to take care of it properly so that's on me. I was in Ireland after my freshly done nose piercing and wifi/signal was spotty but I was able to text their number for help and Kim was so amazing. She was so nice and responded so quickly. A few days ago before leaving she asked me to stop by the shop to get tea tree oil since it was looking like a pimple on the nose piercing . I had taken that oil to Ireland and she periodically asked me for pictures and walked me through the process. When I got my nose piercing I was in Tampa and also texted her and she responded so quickly . She was reliable and friendly both times assuring me it would be ok. It had puss and hurt to touch so it was hard to wash and take care of but my bf was able to help me with her texted instructions since honestly I'm a little squeamish . I thank them for always providing exceptional customer service even when I am miles away.

Death or glory is in my opinion the most solid shop I have ever set foot in. I've been getting tattooed by the owner Mike Mehaffey for about 6 years now, and was welcomed by him and treated with respect from the start. This shop is a family, and an institution of fine and expert tattooing. They are passionate about the work they do, and offer that work at a blue collar price. They are working folk tattooing working folk. Whatever technique or style of tattooing you are looking for, there is someone there not only able to facilitate your needs, but exceed them. You would be a fool to look elsewhere. Whether you choose Mike, Rob Barnes, Nik Hall, Lee Miles, Kristyn Lopez or Jesus Lopez, you are bound to be in exceptional hands, receiving expert care. I realize I sound exceedingly biased in this review, but my admiration was EARNED by these guys. I have been in more than a handful of shops over the years, some good, more bad, and let me tell you when I heard Mike was opening Death or Glory, I knew it would be a true gem. No rockstar attitudes, no "cool-guy" condescension. Just passionate, skillful tattooers. I always say if you want a tattoo, a GOOD tattoo, go into a shop and study the artist portfolios and feel the vibe of the shop. Ask questions and be open minded. You owe it to yourself to check this place out. read more

Getting a tattoo is something that has meaning.It comes with a honored history that only a few tattoo parlors believe in anymore. Death Or Glory is a tattoo parlor that honors that history and believes in it. The crew at Death or Glory are some of the must humble and respectful people I know. They are without a doubt the best!!!! Tattoo Parlor in town. My tattoos are dedications that mean everything to me. Mike is who does all my tattoos. I went in with an idea of what I wanted, and in minutes. Mike was able to take my idea, add his artistic vision and create something that I wear with honor. Rob has tattooed my family and they feel the same way about their tattoos. If you're looking into getting a tattoo for the first time, and are nervous. This is your shop. The crew will make you feel relaxed and listen to every idea you have. They won't put anything on you until it gets your approval. If you need a cover up, retouch or just looking for something new. Don't waste your time and money at other second rate shops. Death or Glory is where you need to go. The proof is in the art and respect the shop has earned. Like I said. Getting a tattoo is something you'll have forever. If you want a tattoo you love years from the day you get it, then Death or Glory is where you need to go. read more

I've had multiple tattoos done at Death or Glory and have had great experiences, especially with Jesus (the tattoo artist, not the bible guy, although both have beards), but it's the second time I see misogynist and offensive advertisement for walk ins on one of their artists' Instagram page. The ad would use the picture of a woman's ass, or the picture of a woman giving a blow job, as part of a montage to announce walk ins. To be clear, they used the image of a woman's ass to advertise walk ins. This doesn't say anything about the quality of their work but it does say something about the atmosphere there. This is sexist, offensive, and honestly, rapy advertising. I won't go to death or glory anymore if that's the "jokes" they feel comfortable with. As a woman, that doesn't make me feel comfortable. read more

Best shop in town. I've been treated with nothing but honesty and respect from the moment I walked in. Mike showed me what a good tattoo is supposed to look like. I live out of state now and can call him up while I'm driving down and tell him what I want and always come in with my expectations more than exceeded. He's a solid artist and an all around awesome dude. read more

Went here to get a spur of the moment tattoo, and it turned out awesome! Anna was super cool and helpful and I love my tattoo! The space was really laidback, and comfortable, and I was in and back getting my tattoo in like 10-15 mins. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience, I will definitely be coming back soon for another one! read more

I love this shop. The tattooers at Death or Glory have a true respect for their craft. Every time I've been in they've treated me like family. They take the time to sit down and really hash out my ideas. As far as I'm concerned they are the only shop in town. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere. True professionals. read more
