I was looking for a piercing studio to add to my ear candy collection and after a few phone calls I…read moredecided on Eternal Art. After finding out this studio was the oldest in Sarasota, I knew I'd be in good hands. I wanted a tragus and helix piercing to add to my collection. After discussing the jewelry options (I wanted a simple, tiny rhinestone) we settled on a few and Karen (the owner) began to mark my ear with placements. What I loved about Karen is that she gave her honest and professional opinion on placement of the helix. Where I initially wanted it was not going to be the best option because of the shape and curve of my ear. Being a woman herself, she knew I wouldn't love my initial placement ad recommended a lower helix piercing. I appreciated her honesty. She even asked if my two prior piercings were done by different piercers, which I said yes, and she knew right away they were from different people (because of the placement they did, going off of what I wanted and not taking my ear shape into consideration). I went with her recommended area and I couldn't be happier with results. She runs the show here at EA - a small, woman owned business which resonates with me. Karen is highly professional and personal, engaging and makes you feel comfortable and secure. I couldn't recommend Karen enough! Just an fyi - she's cash only - not a problem but come prepared. Always ask or call to make sure she's available and she can give you an estimate over the phone in what you are wanting. Karen - I'll be back to add more ear candy when I'm in town next.

The shop is modern, clean, and looks extremely professional - fun art on the walls, comfortable seating, and just a nice vibe all around. Radha is the owner and did my tattoo, and she couldn't have had me more at ease for my FIRST tattoo. She's friendly, reliable (we had to make a flight out of Tampa that night, and had plenty of spare time), creative, and professional. As for pain, it was ~50% of what I'd expected for a 2.5 hr session, I was totally comfortable throughout, and the tattoo came out perfectly. My wife got a smaller tattoo by Jason, and he was also incredibly friendly, funny, and easy-going. Hers was a pretty simple fill-in between some other tattoos, but it looks excellent. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town, and I fully recommend Mockingbird if you're in the area.

It bled horribly and now has what seems to be permanent bruising marks on it. Picture attached is after a month has gone by. It continues to hurt me off and on, but doesn't seem to be infected. There is a piece in the arm that the color blew out of and has a scar. So I would proceed with caution when going to this studio. Make sure you know the artist that you're going to see because by the looks of it they have some very talented artists there but just didn't happen to be the one that I got.

I had a specific design in mind when I walked in, but they didn't have exactly what I was looking for. At first I was a little disappointed, but that quickly changed. Jeremy, the shop owner, took the time to really listen to what I wanted instead of just pointing me to another flash option. He sketched up a custom design for me on the spot, and it honestly came out even better than I ever expected. It felt personal and intentional -- not just something picked off the wall. The studio was very clean, organized, and efficient. The whole process was quick without ever feeling rushed, and everyone there was genuinely kind and welcoming. As a first-time client, that made a huge difference. You can tell Jeremy truly cares about his craft and about making sure people leave happy with something meaningful. I will absolutely be coming back and would highly recommend That Tattoo Studio to anyone in Sarasota looking for a clean, professional, and positive tattoo experience.

We were there for several hours, so I had plenty of time to observe. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and not at all intimidating. Tony, the owner, is just a nice, cool guy, and was very patient with my rather particular and indecisive friend. In the end, what she asked for was exactly what he delivered, and she loved them both. Tony's smooth, clean lines and sharp attention to detail were outstanding. Speaking of clean, both Tony and his employee John practiced appropriate safe and sanitary procedures throughout, which is always reassuring to see! While we were there, I watched John help a customer design a large custom upper arm piece. I wasn't there long enough to see the finished product, but the design and the work he did while I was there were gorgeous. I don't think you could go wrong with either one of these guys. Oh, and there was also a situation with a drunken customer (which I'm pretty sure is a normal occupational hazard in the ink business), and the guys handled it with pure professionalism. If you're thinking about getting inked, you should check this place out.

So the new location was my left ring finger, and instead of a word, the concept morphed into a symbol. Matt Helmer sketched a red poppy for me (personal significance) and resized it twice so it would fit just right on the lower part of my finger. He creatively pigmented the background of the flower with a subtle teal outline to make it pop. It looks like I'm wearing a permanent cool ring. Got super lucky on a Friday midday. Evidently someone had cancelled last minute, so instead of a two month wait, I got my finger tat the same day it was conceived. Great experience. Fun, friendly shop and I bought a cool logo t-shirt from them as well.
