The entire team's professionalism added to the relaxed atmosphere, and the studio had a truly great vibe. My tattoo has healed beautifully, and I can't wait to see Zack again in December! The talent and care he provided truly exceeded my expectations. If you're on the fence, give Zack and his team a try at Freedom!

I'm so happy I listened to his advice on the colors and location of my tattoo. I really couldn't be more happy. Tim has a beautiful, clean shop with an incredibly friendly staff who are also extremely talented. I don't see myself ever using any other shop in the future.

I looked at the reviews and decided to call and make an appointment. I am so glad this is where fate led me. Nic was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable in a situation others may have been extremely embarrassed. Like others have said, he explained everything involved in the process. He didn't make me feel like he was in a rush. I'm a bleeder, and he was very focused on making sure it was taken care of before sending me on my way. I have plans for more piercings and some stretching, and I know that's the only place I'm going.

Best place to get a tattoo, if you're interested in any type of Japanese style. This place provides…read morea friendly atmosphere, as well as a Covid-19 facial coverage. Highly highly recommended. I have never been inside a real tattoo parlor before. I was blown away with how many types of tiger books there were. I happen to know someone who got their tattoo at this place. I fell in love with their tattoo ideas. So, I decided to come in to make an appointment for this tattoo that I wanted. I had the idea of a Koi fish and a dragon with the water in the background. But, this is what I ended up getting. But this isn't the finished look. The style of tattoo is very clean and I love everything about it.

He was understanding and told me that I could let him know if I needed a break. I only took one, and my tattoo took a way shorter time than I expected yet it still looks fantastic. Cory also did my best friend's tattoo. We just stopped into the shop toward the end of their hours, yet he stayed to do the tattoo for her. I thought that was super cool of him. The shop has a neat atmosphere. Lots of work from local artists on the wall. Lots of cool body jewelry to look at. Love this place!

I visited Smokin' Aces last year to get a very special memorial tattoo as a 50th birthday gift to…read moremyself. I chose Melanie based on recommendations from friends and the work for them that I saw with my very own eyes, as opposed to merely looking at potentially doctored photos on social media. Smokin' Aces & Melanie turned out to be the perfect combination for me! Since this was going to be a permanent memorial in a prominent place, I was being VERY picky--and emotional! Melanie was very understanding and supportive and patient with me. She also gave several recommendations with respect to the natural aging of the tattoo, which I hadn't considered. I am a registered nurse, so I am incredibly critical of cleanliness and aseptic technique. Melanie impressed me with both. I looked around the shop as she worked and I noticed it wasn't just her...the entire place was immaculate. I loved the outcome of my tattoo and a year later, it is still as beautiful with no feathering or bleeding or fading of the ink. My experience with Melanie and Smokin' Aces could not have been better, and I'm already planning for them to do my next tattoo--onceI figure out what I want! On a separate note...I absolutely love that Smokin Aces employs not just Melanie, but several female tattoo artists, all of whom are exceptionally talented! I spoke with two other female artists that day while they worked and saw for myself the quality of their artistry as it was in progress. This profession is not an easy one for women to thrive in or for women to get respect--and the women at Smokin' Aces more than deserve it!

The entire tattoo process can be scary to first timers, but they're all friendly and will make it as painless (ha!) as possible. Each artist has several photo albums of their work available to look through and you should definitely go through them to get a feel for what styles the artists excel in - I'd say all three can do just about anything, but Ed is the man for old school designs, Hawk will nail anything Native American influenced, etc.

Then, your shop manager won't even complete my tattoo. He waits until 2 hours before the appointment to message my husband on Facebook to cancel because he didn't order supplies in time. Gets mad.
