I have gotten 3 tattoos at Ride Fast with 2 different artists and I couldn't be happier. The people are friendly and knowledgeable, and it is a very clean environment with excellent artists. The artists are inviting to everyone who comes in, and there is not a whiff of the "too cool for skool" vibe that you get in some studios. The artists really listen to what you want, but also give really good feedback about things you may not have considered about placement, sizing, etc. I will definitely visit Ride Fast again.

Had an Awesome visit to this tattoo studio! Owen was very friendly and loved the tattoo he gave me. Chelsea takes care of all your needs while getting tattooed, she even went and grabbed me a muffin as I was getting a little hungry during my 3 hour visit. The studio is very clean and they even put on music of my choice to listen to during my stay. I will be back and I will be sure to recommend Ride Fast to those who are looking to getting some ink.
