I'm down visiting my elderly Mama and she wanted to get a tattoo. One of the caregivers at her…read morefacility highly recommended Desire Ink. We did a walk-in with Heather. She was so very sweet and patient with my 76 year old Mom who suffers from dementia. The design was so perfect - sweet and exactly what Mom was wanting. Mom's skin is very thin and Heather's touch was perfect. You are in great hands here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, and their artistry is next level. Mom has a few more tattoos she wants to get so we will back again this year to get those done as well. I'll update later with a photo, but I wanted to get this review up because I am so grateful for the treatment my mom received and the beautiful tattoo that she is so excited about!

My sister and I came across an ad for The Silverton Tattoo Company, $50 Wu tang tattoos! Both of us…read moreare die hard Wu fans and had to jump at the opportunity to get sister tattoos. This place is so neat! When we walked in the door there was so much to look at. The ceiling is so very elegant, down to the walls, loaded with antiques and vintage frames and art. It has a fun eclectic vibe. The owners greeted us upon walking in and got us all checked in. Everyone was so down to earth and welcoming. The vibes were good and the parlor was well kept and clean. The artist I had ( I apologize I forgot his name) was very nice and did a great job going over placement and preparation. He did a great job with the line work and overall I'm very happy with my new piece of art.

I have had the idea to get my grandmothers signature tatted on me for a long time, and wanted to add some other element to it. Josh took my references and put them together perfectly. His line work is amazing, and delicate pieces like this are his specialty. 10/10 would highly recommend, Josh is great!

Robert did my original tattoo (the cobra on his website gallery) about 10 years ago at his old…read morelocation on Commercial Street. I got a lot of complements over the years from friends and they often asked where I got my tattoo. I liked my tattoo so much that I looked up his studio again and I am glad I came back to do my touch up and minor cover up work here. The price is very reasonable considering how detailed the work was. Robert is very talented, especially at natural looking tattoos. He draws up your idea and does not proceed until he is sure you like it. Robert is very detailed, takes his time, and skilled. He is very mild mannered and easy to talk to. His new studio is on the 1st floor of a large home and has a beautiful view of a creek and natural landscape. His studio is very clean, professional, and inviting.

This place is great, I definitely recommend Ryan- he perfectly handled both tattoos I got from him…read more(pics) and he never rushed a consultation. For both tattoos I brought my own ideas in and he sketched things around, made them my own, made some great suggestions and handled everything with care- and he was willing to do white ink on me, score! plus he was hot, high five!

Pretty disappointed to be honest. We came in and had an appointment for the 2in by 2in for 40$. We…read morehad Kevin and he was short and not very friendly. And I showed him the design I wanted and he said it was too big and it wasn't going too look right with the flowers all being inside the 2x2. And I said "okay then let's just do the ladybug and I'll add the flowers later" and he said "good idea!!" And I don't know where he got the tattoo I got from. This one has a different head. Different dots. Has legs. And was just not what I wanted. To be fair I didn't correct him but also I shouldn't really have to. I had someone draw it for me and I didn't take a second look at her drawing until he was already half way done. He didn't tell me how to clean or take care of it (maybe he assumed I knew how since I have plenty of other tattoos but different artists have different after care suggestions and I tend to do what each artist tells me so if something goes wrong I can tell them I did exactly what they told me to.) He was also rolling his eyes when I asked him to move the placement. I have other tattoos on my arm and the lady bug was not centered with the other ones and it would have look wack if I had not insisted on moving it over. Then when we were leaving there was blood dripping down my arm I asked for a napkin he rolled his eyes. I get that he has been doing this all day and he's probably tired. (8pm) but I would have much rather him say "hey im really tired how about you come back _____ for the same price" or something like that. Instead of getting something that I didn't want permanently on my body. My friend came in with me and she had a similar experience (him saying it's not gonna look right and doing something different than what she had designed)

The second Meg covered up a horrible anklet that I had done in the early 90's. Meg is friendly and does such amazing line work.
