OMG! I just left Aurora Gallery & Tattoo at 545 E. Northern Lights Blvd. and I still can't believe…read morehow great the experience was. Scotty was so personable, skillful, confident and creative. It says on Facebook that he'll "bring your vision to life" and that's exactly what he did! I am vacationing in Anchorage and texted him last minute yesterday and he was able to squeeze me in today. I had a custom tattoo done and another one (over 25 years old) repaired. Both came out much better than I could have imagine and are absolutely fabulous! I'm an older woman and he was extremely kind and patient and made me very comfortable. He answered all my questions and he was able to explain the process and healing time in great detail. He made me feel like he really cared by making sure I understood everything. His artwork is incomparable, his shop totally clean and sanitary and his prices are extremely reasonable. You can't go wrong by stopping in to get a tat from Scotty. He is truly a skin artist, a beautiful person and provides a great atmosphere with terrific music (he even sings while tattooing which made it even more relaxing!). Way to go Aurora Tattoo!

Being the only artist in his own shop, its understandable that Ryan Taylor might not be in the shop…read moreduring its posted open hours. I called and left a voicemail, and he returned my call the next day. not too bad of customer service. What is bad is the actual tattoo'ing. His shop is decently clean and he seems to be using sanitary equipment. But be prepared for ALOT of artistic liberty in terms of your image. I guess i didnt communicate my idea clearly when i said i wanted smoke coming off block lettered font- connecting it to a chest piece. after two hours in the chair he asked me what i thought. In the mirror i saw only the font, and a two inch space between my chest piece and the new tattoo. "thats good, but wheres the smoke?" i asked. so he hastly made a shadow effect outside the lettering and called it quits (with and inch of blank space now instead of two). Why I went back after my initial tattoo wasn't right is beyond me: I went in wanting a touch up the piece he had done a year before. I drew out where I wanted black and grey ink, and he completely disregarded the grey tone. instead he covered everything in black. But its ok, its not like its for life...

We ended up not being able to come in as planned and he had no problem having us come in later. Someone wrote a bad review on here from years ago and we were weary about going but decide to anyway.

Next time I'm visiting Anchorage we will be sure to go back and make another great review to boost his rating. Thanks Taylor!
