    Erin Grady did my first tattoo years ago and I returned for my second and she did absolutely amazing as usual!! I cannot recommend this place enough. Welcoming vibe and everyone is very friendly and makes you feel heard and safe thru out the whole process. Thank you again and here's to future visits!

    My tattoo (couple tattoo).

    Brandon was amazing and patient. We changed the design a few times cause it was a couple tattoo and we are indecisive. He was cool and went with the flow. It was my wife first time getting a tattoo. He explained the process to her and was patient with her. Super clean like super clean. We will be going back for sure. They do take walk ins but an appointment is best. The shop minimum is $100 and you leave a small deposit when making your appointment.

    I've been tattooed 3 times by Erin, she is always professional, and takes extensive steps to ensure she's tattooing you in the cleanest and sterile environment at all times. She's extremely flexible if you need a drink and will always have a good conversation with you to pass the time. 10/10 recommend her and empire tattoo

    Freshly done

    I don't usually review tattoo shops or artist often but Erin was so professional. Finding a good artist is so hard theses days. Since we often find them using social media it's hard to connect if their booked solid or don't always message you back depending on their availability. Erin was so wonderful she responded to my email about what I was looking for gave me some tips on what would look good. I had a tattoo done some time ago and what a different experience. Erin is detailed and takes her time with you. You get what you pay for and she's so worth it. I highly recommend her and this shop. Check out her work on Instagram @sallyeffinsugarlegs You won't be disappointed and I'm so happy with the results as it healed .

    I have gone to Empire Tattoo on 3 different occasions now & each time has been an amazing experience. Gabe is so talented, patient, & detailed in his work. He was great and communicating prior to our appointment and was so knowledgeable in guiding me through what was going to look best based on what I wanted. The vibe at the shop is so chill & comfortable. It's the best!!

    If you're looking for a someone to do your piercings, i definitely recommend NICK. I always have recommended him to everyone I meet. He's super chill, funny and makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. He's done basically all my piercings, both my seconds and thirds, both sides of my nose, septum, my belly and my helix and they all have healed AMAZING. Trust my words. Nick is awesome.

    I've been coming to get my piercings done by Nick for years now & am always pleased with his services! It's always a great time & the whole shop is extremely nice! I would recommend everyone gets pierced by Nick as he has more than a decade of experience!

    We came in for a Friday the 13th speial. The staff were very kind and helpful. My daughter, her friend and myself got tattoos with 3 different artists. All of us were pleased with the results. They are all doing great.

    My Daughter and I go to Nick Sida for all our piercings. He is always quick to respond to any questions and concerns. He has great recommendations. I trust him.

    New nose piercing, healing nicely.
    Robin B.

    This place feels super welcoming when you first walk in and you can tell it super clean. I met with Nick, their piercer - he was super responsive on social media, was able to fit me in very last minute and was more than fair priced.

Environment: sterile and clean, duh Ambiance: mega chill, duh Vibes: immaculate, duh Service: amazing, duh 10/10 effortless artist, 10/10 tattoo-er, 10/10 business owner, I'm pretty sure a 10/10 husband/dad, & def 10/10 human being. Whatever you get, it will be the sickest work you'll EVER get on yourself. Anything you want or need - he'll nail it even better than you could ever imagine! Mike did my first tattoo back in 2022, and I've been going to him ever since. I will forever refer anyone to him who asks for recs . I was going through a very hard time in my life and basically embarrassingly spiraled in his shop during a consult for a back piece that I was unsure of. He is so patient, kind, considerate, humble, and such a safe space dude. There was NEVER any pressure, no negative energy/vibes, not EVER pushy or "sales"-y or do something other than you asked for because he "feels like it" or thinks "it would look better this way." He wants to make sure you're happy before proceeding with anything. Final boss of professionalism. All of my tattoos are from what my late Dad had, but I made each one my own in a traditional style and Mike has helped me bring the last pieces to life every time, every session. I'm truly grateful to have met him and greatly appreciate the person he is. May all tattoo artists take a page out of Mike's book and be like him. If you're hesitating on getting another one or if it's your first one- DO IT. GET IT DONE BY MIKE! K TYVM BYE!

I wanted sooo bad to get something done, but I didn't want to rush into something just for the sake of it. Johnny shared original art on his IG page (as he occasionally does) and asked if anyone would be interested in having it permanently etched on their body. Well....I liked what I saw and took the opportunity to grab it. This will certainly be the starting point for my own sleeve. :-) Johnny's customer service skills are top notch....from appointment set up to post-tattoo follow up. Sitting in his studio, you are instantly put at ease. There are interactive discussions and ideas shared about tattoo design and placement. There is incense burning to clear the air and bring calming vibes. There are moments of quiet mixed in with moments of enlightening conversation. Johnny is just THAT dude. Cool, calm, and together. I am so pleased with how my tattoo turned out. The whole experience was pleasant and absolutely worth it. I didn't feel like I was just a customer. He takes pride in his work and wants you to walk away feeling good about his work. As I patiently wait for the right ideas/vision to come to mind, I'm eager to have Johnny add to my arm.
