DAVID! Is one of the greats he is truly genuine and has great insight on tattoos . I went earlier in the month to have a consultation which I told him my thoughts and what I was looking for and the end result . David was very knowledgeable and kind during the process . I love when an artist puts his spin on it since it's art and an extension of them. The shop is very welcoming and clean . The guys there are nice to all people and very informative and great at their talent which is tattooing. Their banter is hysterical and fun to listen too . David likes conversations which is nice since I was sitting there in silence or watching tik tocks . His shading and line work is 100% clean . He is very skilled at detail work and shading . He is not a hard hand which I was nervous about since I have been cut up by others in the business . He put my fears to rest and my tattoo was flawless This shop was 100% professional , clean , safe place and the people here are golden. read more

My husband recommended this tattoo shop, and I emailed them and set up an appointment. To my surprise, my Saturday appointment wasn't for the stencil and pricing...it was the actual appointment! Weekends are for walk-ins, so I got my tattoo done in under 2 hours. Very bright and clean lines. Definitely would recommend. read more

Jaxen is a scam artist not a tattoo artist. He completely screwed me out of $1,266. The 30 mins of work he did on me was horrible. Basically ruined what I had started with his sloppy unprofessional work. He advertises "deals" on Instagram and takes your money and then completely blows you off with bogus excuses. He was told to leave the previous shop he worked at in Seattle for this and for some reason the owner of this shop allowed him to do business knowing his past. That being said, I am not the only person Jaxen has stolen money from. Photo of another scammed customer attached. I'm currently disputing the charges. read more

I had a great experience at visualize this last weekend. I traveled up for the weekend for something else and had an urge to get a tattoo ( it being my first). I found this shop by my hotel and it was a great experience from the start. The entire staff was super friendly and welcoming. I loved the shop set up with all the different designs to look at in the lobby area. Matt did my tattoo and worked with me and my idea. He worked around some late additions and came up with something I love. Not knowing what to expect with it being my first Matt walked me through the steps and kept the conversation going and before I knew it was done and one my way. Highly recommend this shop. Great experience all around and you can tell there is lots of experience within the team here read more

David Jennings is absolutely amazing. He did my husband's sleeve all in 3 sessions. The quality and care that goes into his piece is beyond any artist I've seen. He's highly skilled and won't give you a tattoo unless he is confident that you'll wear it proudly for years. He spends time explaining the details of what makes a quality tattoo and pays great attention to his placement! I honestly can't say enough. read more

I honestly can't describe what a great job David did on both me and my fiancé's tattoos! Just wow!! He did an absolutely supreme job. We came in without too much detail about what we wanted, just a basic concept. He not only collaborated to give us what we wanted, he also improved the idea ten fold! This place is clean, has very comfortable state of the art chairs, and being greeted with a big smile and handshake immediately made us happy. He made sure we got what we wanted and more. David was extremely personable AND professional. We WILL definitely return!! Definitely would recommend to anyone! read more

Amazing place! David was my artist and I couldn't be happier with my artwork. The tattoo he created has so much meaning and I was so impressed and happy with it that I cried! His passion for what he does is out of this world. This is my 6th tattoo and by far my favorite. He makes you feel so comfortable and his shop is so up to date with the top products in the market. You have a choice to listen to whatever music you want or watch Netflix. I have already received many compliments on this tattoo and it hasn't even been 24 hours! Thank you David for giving me such a beautiful piece of art that I can treasure for the rest of my life! I have already referred some people to you. I will see you soon. I Have attached some photos of the tattoo he did for me. read more

Frank Porcelli has done 3 of my tattoos (the only ones I love!) His lines are excellent and shading is beautiful. His composition and style are classic and fresh at the same time. Plus, he's honest about what he does. He doesn't do anything that he's not confident will look great years down the road and he takes the time to explain this to those of us who aren't in the business. My tattoos have stood the test of time and still look fantastic. I highly recommend him if you're in the market for a solid, quality, beautiful piece of body art. read more

When I walked into the shop I was greeted quite oddly, I walk in and the man at the desk says "can I help you?" In quite a weird tone which set me off but I wasn't going to let it affect my experience. I walked up with quite a lot of questions as it is my first tattoo I wanted done but when answering my questions the man gave me a sort of attitude as if I was supposed to know these things. I asked "can I schedule an appointment?" And he says "uhh yeah?" And looks at his coworker as if I was dumb. I was sort of set off by his attitude as I was just asking questions, he also never really gave me full answers. Not a good first impression, I'll definitely be choosing somewhere else to go. read more

Visited Visualize Tattoo as a walk-in last weekend. I was met with a warm welcome and lots of questions to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Frank did my tattoo which was a few lines of script. I'm almost healed up, and it looks GREAT. I was so happy to be in a shop that I felt comfortable in and didn't feel judged or pressured to get something I wasn't happy with. Already have, and will continue to recommend Frank to anyone who will listen. read more
