I've been going to Lex (@am0r.eterno) most of my tattoos and piercings, and I couldn't be happier with the experience every time. Lex makes you feel incredibly welcomed and comfortable. She's not just a talented artist; she's also genuinely funny, ensuring that every session is filled with laughter. There isn't a single piece of work she's done on me that I don't absolutely love. Her skill and creativity are unmatched, and her ability to make you feel at ease is truly special. Whether it's a new tattoo or a piercing, Lex is my go-to, and I always look forward to my next appointment with her. For the shop: I've been getting my tattoos and piercings done at Royal Sword for some time now, and I can't recommend this place enough. The atmosphere is always so welcoming, and all the artists make you feel right at home. The shop is clean, professional, and has a great vibe. Every visit is a great experience. The team is not only skilled but also friendly and approachable, making the entire process enjoyable. If you're looking for top-notch tattoos and piercings with a side of great company, this is the place to go! read more

Extremely professional and inviting..I have a lot of ink on my body and I'm very picky about who I let tattoo me. My old tat artist died tragically and I've been searching for someone I can trust for the last 7 years. I found Jared's shop via Instagram and reviews online. From the moment I stepped into his shop I was impressed. It's very clean with a super chill atmosphere. I needed someone with the creative talent to take the small vision I had and turn it into something awesome. Sure nuff, Jared was able to provide. He was able to integrate my new tattoo into one of my old favorites. Super excited to get more work done and tie all my tats together. If your unsure of who to see for your next tat journey see Jared (the cool one not the jewelry guy). read more

Jared is one hell of an artist. He's done awesome work for me and the work he's done for others has been amazing as well. His attention to detail is unmatched, I get compliments on his work everywhere I go. His new shop is extremely clean, well taken care of, and very professional. He goes the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable and relaxed while getting tattooed. If you have any questions about the artwork you're thinking about, he's more than happy to sit down with you and discuss different styles and options. Highly recommended! read more

Jared has done quite a bit of work on me at this point. He is very reasonable, fast paced but that doesn't affect the top notch quality he provides. His specialty in realism and black and gray are what had me picking him again after he did a simple rib piece for me many years ago. If you want the highest quality, professional work from a talented and caring artist, I would strongly suggest giving him a call or stopping in. He will bring your ideas to life in a way you couldn't imagine read more

I've been to tons of tattoo studios and have had a bunch of work done. But never like this. It was calm, relaxing even. Maybe it was the slight hint of Frankincense burning in the background, or perhaps the postive music which comforted my sensitive nerves, but I have FINALLY found my Go To tattoo shop! Along with an immaculate establishment, Jared Thinger was prepared, organized, clean, and a pleasure to work with. MONEY WELL SPENT. Highly reccomend. read more

The vibes are immaculate everyone in the shop is very friendly and always willing to be accommodating whenever possible. I have been to a lot of tattoo shops and many times they feel like they're better than you but here you get treated kindly. The work itself from the artists is also amazing and they always help me with my ideas even when I have trouble saying what I want to showing them what I mean they're always patient and helpful. read more

Met these guys around November for a walk-in, Richie helped me put together what is now my favorite piece, and I've continued to go back since. I now have about 4 more tattoos done from there and I always leave the shop with more confidence than when I came in. Lovely group of artists, amazing vibe, dope aesthetics, and a comforting environment. I'd definitely keep this shop under your belt for great quality, affordable tattoos. read more

Jared's a professional, you can trust that he will take care of you. Super excited to complete the rest of my sleeve! read more

Their staff is extremely nice and genuinely cares about their customers. I did have a small mishap with a piercing done by a newer piercer, but the ownership went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of properly and that everything was handled the right way. That level of care really stood out to me. I 10/10 recommend this place! read more
