This is a great shop with some very talented artists - their prices are fair and they definitely…read moretake care of repeat customers. The entire tattoo process can be scary to first timers, but they're all friendly and will make it as painless (ha!) as possible. Each artist has several photo albums of their work available to look through and you should definitely go through them to get a feel for what styles the artists excel in - I'd say all three can do just about anything, but Ed is the man for old school designs, Hawk will nail anything Native American influenced, etc.

This is the most unprofessional tattoo shop I have ever seen. For one, I was quoted two different…read moreprices and paid the higher price (which was overpriced anyways). Then, your shop manager won't even complete my tattoo. He waits until 2 hours before the appointment to message my husband on Facebook to cancel because he didn't order supplies in time. Gets mad. Says he won't fix it or tattoo me again. Garbage business practices and garbage work.

I looked at the reviews and decided to call and make an appointment. I am so glad this is where fate led me. Nic was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable in a situation others may have been extremely embarrassed. Like others have said, he explained everything involved in the process. He didn't make me feel like he was in a rush. I'm a bleeder, and he was very focused on making sure it was taken care of before sending me on my way. I have plans for more piercings and some stretching, and I know that's the only place I'm going.
