My husband and I have been going to see Tom for 6 years. Each year, we go to see, ONLY, him, to get work done. Either my husband gets one, or I get one, or we both get one! This past December, my 8 year old passed away, so I went in to see Tom yesterday. I told him I didn't know what I wanted but I would leave it up to him. He did a beautiful feather with her 2 favorite colors, purple and blue. As always, I absolutely love it! And as always, I absolutely adore him! As always, I absolutely love it! And as always, I absolutely adore him! He always treats us like family, we go in there and he always knows who we are we don't feel like we're going in to see a stranger out of tattoo shop. Thank you so much Tom, Emmalyn with love it! read more

The real deal. Most authentic shop and tattooer in the area. The old school sign attracted me right away. The doormen providing reception were informative straight up, and chill. I knew immediately I had gone to the right place. Thanks guys. The artist, Tom, was straight to the point got exactly what I was saying and came up with the perfect design and inked it super fast with an easy and skilled hand. The man knows his business. I love my piece. It's perfect, the way tattoos should be. Not pretentious, and more than reasonable price, no Bs. A true tattoo collectors shop. read more

I got my first three tattoos here and have already told Tom that I'll be back! Such a great atmosphere, no bullshit and no fuss. Tom is a great guy and a talented artist too! I came in with a plan and he brought it to life along with some guidance on what would improve the design. I was super nervous when I walked in but he totally put me at ease and kept my mind off my nerves. Would 100% recommend to anyone, can't wait to come back! read more

This is the third tattoo at Mad Hatter and always a great experience there. The wait was long this time, but it was definitely worth it. Tom does a phenomenal job and has a great personality and sense of humor. Hoping to have more work done in the near future and wouldn't want anyone else to do it! Much better than the "competition" down the street, this is a tried and true tattoo parlor! read more

Compulsively got my first tattoo here! I walked in and Tom was very welcoming. I brought my two best friends and we had so much fun just being in the studio, i forgot i was getting a tattoo. Although my tattoo is small, it came out exactly how I wanted it and barely needed healing. If I was from OOB i would exclusively get my tattoos from Tom! read more

Didn't get a tattoo so the only reason i'm not giving it a one star is because of this. Guy in there is the very unfriendly and unwelcoming. Only do 18+ even with parent consent and signature. Go in here if you want to feel like you're unconvincing him by trying to buy his mediocre tattoos. I seen the pictures. read more

Another great sitting with Tom. I brought in one piece and it came out perfect. Then I let him work his magic with a pen and place brickwork all around it. Came out great. Always a pleasure, always professional and clean. Highly recommend. read more
