He's a professional and the studio is very clean with a really nice jewelry selection.

Honestly awful. Beware of this tattoo shop. Raine has done two tattoos for me and they both suck. I…read morehave 10 tattoos total and the only ones I have issues with are the ones she did. Both are super blown out and the ink bled and now they look all smudgey. It's been over a year since I got both tattoos, and they're still raised, as if they never fully healed. Not only that, when I was in there getting my tattoos, she had her kids running around the shop yelling and distracting her. She had to stop every few minutes to yell at them and they were getting into her tattoo equipment. Super unprofessional and not worth your money. I have appointments with another artist at another shop (he's amazing) to do cover ups for both the tattoos she did for me.

He was very professional and went above and beyond my expectations. I had picked out a grey shaded floral and vine design to wrap around my forearm.

I frequently recommend this tattoo shop to anyone I know that is sincerely interested in getting a tattoo. The warm and inviting atmosphere puts them above and beyond everyone else. Corinne, Jon, Penny, Dan and Mike all do amazing work. For a first timer: go to Dan, his touch is as soft as an angel. If you want color: go to Corinne, her colors pop like neon lights when she wants them to. If you want something detailed and intense: Jon and Penny have you covered. Jon's detail is some of the best in the area, and Penny's constantly working to be the best artist she can. Tell them RJ sent you.
