My first tattoo, so limited experience to draw from... however: our first location, which we had…read morechosen after careful research, had closed early, so we walked in at 7pm (closing at 8pm) for a small set of tattoos, and were graciously received, treated with the utmost of respect (first tattoos at 60yo), given complete flexibility over font choice and size, and had an extremely enjoyable experience with a guest artist from Spain! The office area was clean, well lit, and the hygiene/cleanliness practices were obviously a high priority. We received a thorough explanation of all that was happening and what to expect/how to care for the tattoo until it has healed. Highly recommended. And for the place that closed early... thanks!

He decided he wanted Ft Walton Beach on his forearm and I decided I should get a cute little something too! After all it's not fair only he gets new ink. After looking on yelp for places we stopped at Sail Away second and we immediately felt comfortable. We were introduced to Joe and liked him. Even though he's a Raiders fan! Told him what my husband wanted and made an appointment (for a Sunday a normal closed day) made our deposit and left. My husband sent him a cute little mermaid tattoo I wanted but with a few changes. We showed up and Joe was ready for us and we both love our tats! I was scared my mermaid would have an ugly face, but as you can see in the picture, she's beautiful! Thanks Joe! See ya next time!

Originally posted to Google and it was removed, for some reason…read more I had my nipples and nostril pierced by Torrie in 10/2021. After 1-2wks my nipple piercings were embedding because the barbells were too short and my nostril piercing started to sink because of poor aftercare instructions/post too short. I reached out to Torrie and she switched me out for longer barbells (for free) and told me my nostril looked fine. Unfortunately, the barbells were still too short and my nostril wasnt getting any better. I lost confidence in Torrie and decided to get a 2nd opinion at different shop. I was switched out for more appropriate length starter jewlery and received better aftercare advice than what Torrie provided to me, which was spray the piercings 3-5x/day and this caused my piercings to dry out so much it caused irritation bumps. Torrie also never educated me on the need to downsize jewlery after 6 weeks. (Which is probably why she put in too small barbells) If you're not experienced with piercings I would not recommend getting pierced here. I'm rating Torrie a solid 1 since she did a great job on placement however, her aftercare instructions were not clear and I truly believe if I had not went to a different shop for a 2nd opinion my piercings would have rejected. Edited to add pics.

His shop is so clean and comfortable. His work is amazing. He's a quiet guy but he's got jokes. He's always willing to add an eye patch or LV Raiders tattoo to anything he does. Haha Be sure to come see Joe and support his small business in Fort Walton Beach. He books up so make sure you call well in advance!
