Vessel isn't just a tattoo shop, it's a place that feels like home. From the second you walk in,…read moreyou're met with a clean, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating space where the focus is on the people just as much as the art. Everyone here makes you feel like you belong a testament to their values, and the experience is more like hanging out with friends than just another appointment. Matt, the owner (and my artist), is insanely talented. Whether it's traditional work or something unique, he listens, remembers the little details, and brings every piece to life with passion and precision. He truly cares about his clients, and it shows in every conversation and every line he puts down. He makes sure the artists in the studio bring the same passion and individual flair. This was my fourth tattoo with Matt, and it's such a special one. Every time, I walk away beyond happy. Not just with the work but with the entire experience. Couldn't recommend this shop more!

Johnny's tattoos are amazing the ones he did back in 2014 and even before are still looking amazing and I get complimented still to this day on them. I'm not sure when I was 18 what made me choose to college avenue inkers I'm going there one time and got a semi okay tattoo I'm a guy who didn't work for them for very long. At the time the shop was on by hammer and Johnny. The very next time I came in to get a larger tattoo the tattoo was done by Johnny himself. And bingo there it was my life long tattoo artist. I don't feel like Johnny and I have gotten that old even though I haven't seen him in too many years. When I was 18 a hammer and Johnny were both very quiet guys but very cool to me and Johnny only took good care of me when I worked for him and as a customer as well. I can't say anything more Stellar about Johnny if I tried he's truly an amazing man who has always kept his word. Sincerely, Bernadette

I've been going to him since 2011 for my tattoos and I've never been disappointed. He does amazing work! He'll listen to what you want and provide his artistic advice. He actually free-handed a lot of my (almost complete) leg sleeve just based on my random thoughts on what I wanted! Plus, him and his wife/co-owner, Lauren are just amazing humans. You can feel the hospitality the moment you walk through the doors and know that you'll be treated right. I highly recommend that you go check them out!

We had an amazing experience at Rockabilly Tattoo & Piercing, and I can't recommend them enough,…read moremore specifically, Claire! I did a lot of research beforehand and saw that Claire had great reviews, and now I completely understand why. She was incredibly professional, patient, and most importantly, amazing with my 5-year-old daughter. As a parent, that matters more than anything. One thing I really appreciated was that she doesn't use a piercing gun. I didn't even realize that was important until doing research online, but she took the time to explain why a needle is safer and more precise. That immediately gave me confidence that we were in the right place. She was also very intentional with the placement. She didn't rush anything, carefully marked the ears, checked with us multiple times, and made sure we were 100% comfortable before moving forward. That level of care really stood out. The whole process felt calm, thoughtful, and professional, which made a huge difference for my daughter's experience. Claire made what could have been a stressful moment feel easy and positive. If you're considering ear piercings, especially for a child, Claire at Rockabilly is absolutely the person to go to!

During the session, I noticed quite a bit of shaking, which I assumed might just be the machine. Now that the tattoo is nearly healed, the lines appear dotted and blown out. Because it's on my hand, it's very noticeable. The artist was kind and professional, and I believe he does good work overall, but he wasn't the right fit for the style I was looking for. I'm disappointed with the outcome and will unfortunately need to have it covered up.

His creative and artistic abilities are out of this world. Upon first meeting him I was completely at ease and comfortable.

I gave him creative freedom with my tattoo and he far exceeded any expectations I could even think of having. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking to get a tattoo!
