Timeless Ink Studio is a very professional, transparent, and honest tattoo shop/ business…read more I contacted both my proposed artist and the tattoo shop about questions regarding my tattoo ideas and the booking process. Chino- my tattoo artist- was very diligent and helpful with me from my initial contact, to the completion of my tattoo. Chino was very transparent and humble with me throughout the entire process, and worked with me based off my busy schedule. I had bounced off a few tattoo ideas with him, to which he was very patient and helpful. Chino's art and work speaks volume for itself- and I highly recommend anyone who wants high quality work, with a reasonable price ($200 / hour) to book and get their tattoo with Chino. He is very detailed, thorough, and provides you with quality service and results. I am beyond happy with my tattoo and absolutely wish I had met him years ago. Chino, you're the man and you gained a loyal customer for years to come! The tattoo shop's front desk was very helpful and friendly with me during my appointment day. The overall shop has a very private and peaceful vibe- and isn't an open bay like most tattoo shops. The privacy and different tattoo rooms provide a more "personal" feel. I highly recommend this tattoo shop for both new and "veteran" tattoo enthusiasts- the quality of customer service and work they do is amazing!

I couldn't have asked for a more compassionate attentive interaction with everyone there. AND to top it off, I was a walk in. ‍ I am SURE my tat was waaaaay below their level. But it was super important to me-I've been planning it for a year to commemorate the passing of my fur soulmate, my best friend & constant companion of 14 years, Sparky. I just wanted the simple Picasso dachshund-nothing fancy. I wanted it small with thin lines. BH was my artist, he took me seriously, took time with me & made sure we were on the same page. More than that, he was professional, meticulous & compassionate - just what I needed on that day. I 100% love, love, love what BH did for me! Thank you and to 3rd Gen Ink! #RIP Sparky 12/5/20

As you can see, this place can do some seriously sexy tattoos for some seriously sexy people. They can do big ones and they can handle it just fine. So they're very professional and very sexy and very in tune with the human body. My friend who is in porn is covered in tattoos from head to toe, and she thinks these guys are some of the best in town. I paid for at least one of her tattoos at this place as well as some others at other places, and this one is the one that we both agree is the sexiest. And the most professional too. Of all the tats I've gotten her, this is her fave. Of all her tats in total, this is in her top 5 and she has at least 50 (not exaggerating).

He takes the time to go through your requests so that you know what you're in for and he actually cares how they look as well. He spent the time thinking about how the Helix I just got lined up with the one I got 5 years ago. I ended up fainting for the first time in my life probably because I had very little sleep and didn't eat for several hours before but he took care of me and made sure I had my energy up before leaving and walked me out. He's a good man who does good work. I think I need one more before I'm done for good and will be back. I recommend him to anyone who needs to get pierced.

Valentin was my tattoo artist and dude he's amazing i gave him the inspo and he went beyond it, we talked about the place and how it would look at certain angle and position, the whole thing took 5 hours, he would give me breaks and I also remember that I came in right when he was about to eat I felt so bad :c I was also hungry mid tattoo so he offered me one of his egg rolls after that I was getting a little of pain and asked for numb Cream and it went by pretty smooth... I also forgot to mention that he gave me pasties and made me feel pretty comfortable during my tattoo it was an amazing experience since I told him I had a bad experience with the 2 other places I've been before and he exceed my expectations it's been 7 months since I got my tattoo and I just love it... i really recommend Valentin for black tattoos Lol I also decided on not doing the starts bc of the pain but hey still looks pretty sick I also forgot to add the he added better designs like the brow area of the moon and the shading !

The place is kept really clean and Johnny even offered snacks during a break. It's a private studio which is nice because I don't really a big fan of random people popping in while I'm being worked on. 5/5 In depth review of the whole process. Objective: Booking periods happen only so often. I submitted my application with two concept ideas. I received my email October 2nd telling me I was selected for the Feb/Mar cycle. I paid my booking deposit then gave them my availability, they worked with my availability and I was scheduled for March 15th. Once the appointment was confirmed I told them I'm willing to switch appointments if necessary to work around his other clients. My appointment date remained the same but my time was moved to 7am which was nice. Johnny reached out February 16 for a confirmation on the exact design (I kept going back and forth sending in different things) and March 8th I got a courtesy email for my upcoming session. I showed up to the studio and Johnny was finishing up the final design. We talked briefly on the different aspects of shading and line work but I told him that I trusted him because he's the artist and he knows what will probably look best for the final piece. The session was about 6 hours with 3 breaks. Snacks and beverages were provided. The studio itself is open with tall ceilings. It has couches and a long meeting table. The tattoo I got cover parts of my chest, my sternum, some ribs, and my upper abdomen. It was a painful tattoo Subjective: The booking process was really nice and communication from his assistant was nice. I think he got a new assistant sometime after my appointment was confirmed, nothing was wrong with his old assistant but his new one Melanie has a much more welcoming online persona. Her personality in person matches it too. Johnny comes off as a casual laid-back guy. He's nonchalant yet he's very interested in his clients. He gave me a sense of autonomy throughout the whole process. In hindsight I gave him very little to work with and while doing the final touches he was asking me what I liked specifically about the reference pictures. I sent him a couple of pictures of different designs by other artists and it was really nice to know he took them into consideration. I've been to an artist before where I brought in printed references and the artist glimpsed at it then pulled out the sketch he already had before I showed up. While I was being worked on the pain was too much for me to handle in the beginning, given the location and design it's expected to hurt. I asked if I could have a break after the main outline was done and Johnny agreed. I didn't feel any mental resistance from him. He wrapped up the area so I could go outside and get some fresh air. After that I didn't have to ask for breaks, Johnny stopped and gave me two more. I'm not sure how but Johnny knew when I was getting reaching my threshold. Given he's had years of experience I'm sure he's picked up a 6th sense on how to read people. After the main outline was done Johnny stopped and asked how I wanted the rest of the session to play out. I told him I'd prefer to do the top part of my tattoo because I knew the bold lines would hurt more and I personally like having the most painful part of a tattoo done first. Johnny is the first artist to give me that option. Johnny himself as a person is hella cool. During the whole session we didn't talk much which was nice because I just wanted to relax (i'm on spring break from nursing school and my life since august has been studying so I actually don't know how to talk to people anymore lmao). From our conversation Johnny comes off as someone who wants to know his clients. This isn't just another transaction for him. He asked me questions to get to know me but he never pushed me to share. We both shared stories and aspects of lives that were interesting. Melanie went out for a bit and offered to pick something up. Johnny asked if I wanted anything which was really nice and I asked for coffee and a sandwich. When she came back I offered to pay and Johnny told me that he'd pay for it ( johnny is just nice af). This is my opinion but getting a tattoo is only cool after you get it. When I'm getting work done I'm being vulnerable to the public. I'm not a fan of getting work done while random people walk by watching me trying to hold myself together. The whole process is just painful and it sucks. I like this studio because it's just him and his assistance. Overall I had a really great experience. It's only been 4 days but I wake up every morning still in awe at his work. Pros: Johnny is cool Melanie is nice final product is dope snacks privacy Cons: that shit hurted
