I love this shop! I have been tattooed by 4 of the artists here and I have always been very happy with their work. The shop is clean, and really easy to get to as it is right by the sky train. The staff is super knowledgeable and will work with you to make sure you get the right artist who can bring your idea to life. They also have a large number of female tattooers, which I think is awesome. Worth checking out for sure! Read Less

Best tattoo shop, best artists, best atmosphere and all around great people! I’ve been getting tattooed by big jay for almost 10 years and I will never go anywhere else! This is like my second home. I’ve been tattooed by almost all the artists here and i couldn’t be happier with all my work. I will and I do tell everyone who’s looking to get a tattoo to go here!! F@kin 100 stars!!! Read Less

Such a great shop that I would never hesitate to recommend to anyone whether it be your first tattoo or a full backpiece. A really great group of artists. So far I’ve had work down by Big J, KC and Courtney and love them all! Read Less

Casey (KC) is my gal! She has been working on me for almost 3 years now and was the first tattoo artist that I felt I could openly talk about my ideas without feeling judged. Casey collaborates with her clients to ensure they are getting a piece they love - I'm not sure there's anything that she's not excited to do! She always shows enthusiasm when she's working on you, which is comforting when she is putting something permanent on your body! Read Less

Best tat shop around. I did my research before coming here, and now I have a trusted artist who makes my ink dreams come true. Big Jay has several years of experience and is a creative genius. I've seen the work the other artists put out here too and it's all very high quality. Everyone has their specialties, so there is something for everyone. If you are looking for a super clean, sterile, trusted, friendly environment, look no further. You won't be disappointed.Read Less

I had a memorial tattoo done a few days ago. The artist I saw Trevor was amazing. He went out of his way to make sure my tattoo was perfect and did a amazing job. I will be returning for more tattoos in the future. Read Less

I got a tattoo done there, by an artist named Paul. The owner was also present and even bought me a coffee as I was getting "inked" . Very tidy, clean, well decorated and big. As for the artist, professional, talented, skilled. Very happy with the end result and would recommend it to anyone. Read Less

I have had almost all of my work done at Royal Anchor. The artists are top notch. The service is wonderful. The shop is a beaut. I feel comfortable and taken care of. This is where all my work in the future will be done. Happy New Years guys and gals. Thanks for your brilliant and hard work. Read Less

Got a beautiful tattoo done by Jay about a year ago, he went above and beyond what i was looking for. I have an appointment scheduled with KC for a cover up in December to cover an old faded tat & couldn't be more excited to get another tattoo done here! Read Less

I had the opportunity of having KC tattoo me at the expo. She went above and beyond to give me an absolutely amazing tattoo. I originally wanted black and grey but she talked me into color and I'm glad she did. Thank you for the beautiful tattoo. Read Less

I found Royal Anchor Tattoo here, on Yelp. I am so happy I did. Being new to the area, I wanted to stick with a shop that was local. I did my research and decided that Big Jay was the artist for me. He is not only a talented artist but also a really sweet guy. The atmosphere was quiet, relaxed, clean and very professional. I will definitely be back! Thank you Jay! I love my tattoo! I will recommend your shop to my friends for sure!! Read Less

Jay changed my life and I'm so grateful I meet him!!! seriously I had a ruff tattoo or two and he's fixed them up real good and now I can be happy with the art on my body instead of embarrassed.so please if u need a cover up or something truly wonderful there are some amazing artists at this shop Read Less

I went here yesterday to finish my side piece and also to get a semi matching piece with my husband for our 15 year anniversary.  I have had many tattoos over the years and I would say that this is the cleanest and most comfortably relaxed one that I have been to. I got my tattoos done by Courtney and love them.  While I was there it was busy, with 4 artists tattooing people and from the work I saw I can say that everyone there does awesome work.  Pros: Friendly, excellent tattoo work, and super clean. Cons: Cash only, but there is a bank close by. Read Less
